Speaks on

Four conversations worth having.

Marketing, Run Like a Portfolio

Why every channel is a position with a cost, a risk, and a level of conviction it has earned — and how allocation discipline beats channel worship.

Leave with  A sharper instinct for which channels deserve more budget and which are quietly draining it.

Understanding Mindful Marketing

The best marketing leaders don't win by knowing more tactics. They win on judgment, psychology, and composure. Drawn from Baron's Mindful Marketer work: how to bring calm and conviction to chaos, and clarity to complexity while everyone else chases the algorithm.

Leave with  The mindset shift that separates leaders who create clarity from those who chase every new tactic.

Taste in the Age of AI

When content becomes free and infinite, judgment becomes the moat. What owners should actually do about AI in marketing.

Leave with  A clear line between what to automate and where human judgment still wins.

The Outcomes That Marketing Leaders Should Actually Strive For

Owners don't hire marketing leadership to 'do marketing.' They hire someone to take the whole problem off their plate — an aligned team, numbers they can trust, and their time back. What that actually requires, and how to tell whether you're getting it.

Leave with  The real deliverables behind marketing leadership — structured process, aligned management, sentiment, decisions, time back, peace of mind.
