Most marketers are told to pick a lane. Adam Sockel has built a career doing the opposite, and the results speak for themselves. That is the mindset Trevor Grimes unpacks with Adam Sockel, VP of Marketing at Share Your Genius, a content agency that turns a single podcast recording into a full content engine for B2B brands.
ㅤ Adam opens up about the reality of podcasting that most people get wrong. He shares that of the 4.9 million podcasts in existence, only 15% ever make it past nine episodes, meaning the bar to stand out is far lower than the noise would suggest. The opportunity is hiding in plain sight, and most brands are too intimidated to take it.
ㅤ This conversation covers the full lifecycle of content strategy. Adam breaks down why YouTube has overtaken Spotify and Apple as the number one podcast discovery platform, how AI tools can get your content 75% of the way there without replacing the human who takes it the rest of the way, and why the moment you are exhausted saying something is exactly when your audience is just starting to hear it. It is a blueprint for building a content operation that compounds over time, not just one that looks good for a quarter.
