The KING of Hot Sauce: the Mastermind Behind Sriracha’s $2.5B Empire
Food wouldn’t be the same without it. In fact, fried chicken might just drop off the face of the planet forever in its absence.
What are we talking about?
Only one of the world’s most popular condiments EVER (and sorry ketchup and ranch girlies, your condiment hales in comparison to this spicy topping). With over 20 million bottles a year sold, and a staple of every Thai and Vietnamese restaurant, how did Huy Fong’s sriracha sauce become one of the most popular condiments in the world?
Aidan unpacks the tale of how David Tran escaped his life in communist-occupied Vietnam to risk everything on a hot sauce recipe and the Vietnamese community of Los Angeles.
How did David manage to outlast the competition and outmaneuver numerous knockoffs for over four decades? And what marketing lessons can we take away from his anti-marketing techniques and unique business philosophy?
Aidan explores the fascinating tale of how the OG marketer stuck to his mission statement and turned down multi-million-dollar deals to continue his legacy of making a rich man’s hot sauce at poor man’s prices.

The Greatest Movie You’ll NEVER See
If you thought Oppenheimer was hard to get tickets to then you clearly haven’t tried to set your hands on tickets “100 Years.” And even if you do score tix to the elusive Robert Rodriguez/John Malkovich flick, chances 99.9% certain that you’ll be dead before the film premieres.
That’s right. DEAD.
Is the movie trying to kill you in some sick real-life “Saw” game?
Well, good/news bad news, horror movie fans. The reason you won’t see the movie isn’t quite *that* exciting (sorry, but no long-haired girls climbing out of from well and into your TV screen are coming to get you after 10 days). You won’t see the coveted movie because its premiere date isn’t until 2115. Yep— 100 years from when it was first filmed.
Why? But also…. WHY?
Who’s behind this iconic campaign and more importantly, WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN???
Aidan Brannigan’s giving you the inside scoop on what’s either a marketing stroke of absolute madness or complete genius. TBD 100 years from now.

246 - Why is Influencer Marketing a Scam? with LondonLaz
9 out of 10 influencers don’t understand why they got famous. Was it the video about lobsters that made them a hit? Were they not posting as much as they could have? Was there not enough interaction in the comments section?
Why do so many influencers fail to comprehend the basics of the algorithm? And is it worth pursuing a view count at the cost of your sanity?
Learn how to monetize social media content more sustainably as TikTok sensation London Laz talks with me about his personal experience in the influencer industry. He reveals how he scaled from 0 to 9 million followers on TikTok and how he thinks about sustainability in an industry where an algorithm is the difference between monetization and bankruptcy.
London discusses the importance of having transferable skills, the wrong way of doing influencer marketing, and the power of building a loyal audience.
Don’t miss out on this conversation with one of social media’s biggest personalities.

Customer Reviews
Great but…
Great but I wish they would define the business acronyms at first mention in every episode while they’re using it because this is a podcast for learning so you shouldn’t be assuming that everybody knows that an MQL is a marketing qualified lead.
Practical info
Great marketing info. I really enjoyed EP 209 about audio and how helpful it can be for both the marketer and listener. 👏 Definitely picked up some golden nuggets.
A must for todays marketer
Absolutely love Daniel’s show
