BOOK
THE WIZARD.
Raw marketing truths. No theory. No fluff. Your audience will thank you.
WHY
YOUR
AUDIENCE
WINS.
Jake doesn't show up to podcasts to repeat the same advice every other marketing guest recycled from a Twitter thread. He brings war stories, real numbers, and the kind of honest takes that make listeners stop what they're doing and replay a segment.
He has over $100 million in measurable revenue generated across Fortune 500 companies and bootstrapped startups. He's made two exits: Brio Studio and Wizard Marketing, which was acquired by Finch. He co-designed a card game that sold 300,000 copies. He grew a social media following to 100K by telling the truth when everyone else was pitching.
What makes him different as a guest: he's not optimizing for soundbites. He's optimizing for the moment your listener pulls their car over and takes notes.
