·14 min·1 clip

Brad Powell declares you can't buy trust anymore, contrasting a carpet-bombing ad campaign with a candidate whose simple message made ordinary people create their own videos.

The host uses the surprising victory of an unknown political candidate, Zoran Mamdani, over a well-funded opponent as a case study to extract five marketing lessons for expert entrepreneurs. He argues that in today's noisy world, attention is earned through authenticity, listening, and showing up like a peer on native platforms like short-form video, not through traditional advertising spend.
