jules716Practical gold nuggets every time!I love all the practical, actionable takeaways in every episode. Itās always broken down in simple ways to make big impact for your biz. Thank you so much for always bringing it!

Waed AzzaLongest introductionI spent 6:50 minutes listening to some adverts, music and some slogans! The introduction is too slow & also longer than necessary. Some words were repeatedly used maybe intentionally (idk) but this way some listeners will lose interest if you donāt catch their attention since the first 2 minutes. Unfortunately, this is my first & last time I listen to your podcast. Good luck!

paperarmadillosStorybrand for ArtistsThis is what Iāve searched long and hard for. How to apply the Storybrand framework to those in the arts. 5 Stars, it makes so much more sense now!
-
GusBouariAI prompt of the storybrand framework!Easy-to listen to, funny and a great podcast. One of the best ever. I canāt believe I finally had to listen to storybrand to really understand marketing! If youāre interested in marketing or if youāre a professional you still should listen to this weekly. To the storybrand team, keep giving more practical examples, fans are addicts! For instance, some examples of how storybrand is used in the meta descriptions of websites, storybrand in blogs, storybrand in inbound messages. Storybrand messaging everywhere including the nitty gritty stuff! š

Russel BransonPlease stop with the āhero makerāThere are some solid points to be gained from listening to this podcast. But the term āhero makerā makes it absolutely unlistenable. So bad. I understand what youāre trying to do with it. But please stop. Itās so bad.
-
BlakeKahanPlease stopā¦Calling me āhero makerā :D Itās like nails on a chalkboard. Otherwise, pretty interesting info! Slightly cringe motivational-speaker vibes, but solid marketing training.

AlisonpHFriendly marketing advice that worksJ.J. and April are great hosts who make even the non-so-fun marketing topics fun and approachable (and will have you laughing along with them). The whole flipping the usual marketing script to make it all about your customer's story makes so much sense and makes marketing so much easier! I always look forward to new episodes.

Dr. Moira HannaLove the insights from StoryBrand GuidesI love hopping on the treadmill and popping Dr. J.J. and April into my earbuds. As a StoryBrand Guide and fellow entrepreneur I find the conversations actionable and insightful. Even though I have access to the StoryBrand community of guides everyday, I still learn and get new ideas from these interviews and conversations. Bonus: J.J. and April have such great energy and sense of humor that I am always laughing as I get my walk in.

MikeRuman.comPractical, Real-world Marketing StrategiesI recently discovered the Marketing Made Simple podcast and it has quickly become one of my favorites. The hosts, Dr. JJ and April Sunshine, do an excellent job of breaking down complex marketing concepts into easy-to-understand language. The interviews with industry experts provide valuable insights and actionable tips. I especially appreciate the focus on practical, real-world strategies that can be implemented immediately. If you're looking to level up your marketing game, this is a must-listen podcast. 5 stars!

Iphone Lover 2008Very useful tips on MarketingThe hosts are excellent, highly knowledgeable, and professional. There is a wealth of invaluable tips for users. My only request is to also provide examples of enterprise B2B businesses, particularly for technology companies that offer solutions through their software products. Thanks.

B.SkipperA one liner that rocks!April and JJ, You two provide the best marketing inspiration for this small business owner. I listen religiously and take those action items each week to improve upon what we doing. This podcast also gave me the push to find a story brand certified guide to help me completely redo our website incorporating our new brand script. I am excited to launch the new site, but have already started using my one liner that Angie Shultz helped me create. The first time I used it at a networking eventās presentation several people repeated it back to me and complemented me on how it lays out what I do perfectly! To me, this spoke volumes! Thank you both and keep it up!

Facqt MediaGreat content in an entertaining format!I love the vibes haha! This is one of the most informative podcast I listened too, simple yet actionable. Tim's great at providing real insights that definitely work! I like the authenticity and his honest approach in delivering his content. I've got so much insight into marketing. Such a good show!
-
AdarcusA marketerās dream podcast!This podcast is one of the BEST for any marketer! JJ and April have such contagious excitement for what they discuss and their guests always deliver such insightful and actionable takeaways every time. Keep up the incredible work!

A ChiaraOne of my favorite podcastsAs a copywriter, storytelling and marketing are integral to everything I do. I LOVE STORYBRAND - - and this podcast is gold! I love the people they bring on and the contagious enthusiasm JJ and April have when talking through marketing within this framework. I am working my way through listening to every episode - thank you guys!!
-
Paul MegeheeRepetitivenessI tried to listen to a couple of episodes and itās really just a marketing tool for their story brand framework. I think it has great concepts and it can benefit a lot of people, but itās also trying to recruit you in to do their framework. I heard the word āframeworkā almost 20-25 times a podcast and it almost makes it to where you canāt listen to the podcast without actually doing the course.
-
Mooses45So far so goodā¦Love the content so far - itās a great complement to the books. Some topics that Iād like to see expanded on in this podcast: 1. Re-engagement Sales emails campaigns. Weāve implemented the Initial Campaign and Nurture campaigns and have a seasonal buying window. Whatās the best way to engage a lead in a buying CTA a year after theyāve joined my list? 2. Software Reviews. With this podcast being more implementation focused, these might act as a good change of pace. What CRMs, Email Marketing, CMS systems best align with the Storybrand principles?
-
AschierbergEasy to digest, easier to implement!For about a month, Iāve been working on and off on my website. I found myself wanting to communicate too much. I recognized this but didnāt know how to fix it. Then I heard a podcast where J.J. was a guest. The content resonated with me, so I gave this podcast a chance. Iām only 3 episodes in but decided to test what Iāve learned. In one day, I created what I think is the right messaging and format for my site. This information is broken down so well and explained so clearly, I was able to use it for a complete transformation in one day. Iām looking forward to listening to all of the episodes and applying even more of what I learn. Only time will tell how effective it will be at driving revenue, but I can certainly see the potential.

Joana BeloComercialGabe it a try. Didnt make it past the first 15 min, was this a informational?

natecoumbe31Simple and effective marketing ideas from AMAZING hosts!Iām really digginā this podcast, so much so that I decided to write a review (and I donāt usually do that). First off, April and JJ are amazing and hilarious podcast hostsāsome of the most entertaining Iāve ever listened to. Even their occasional bouts of singing are super funny and surprisingly good š And the marketing advice they give is simple, top-notch, and easy to implement. Each episode walks you through one of the steps in the StoryBrand framework, and at the end they give you an action step that you can put to use in your own business using your free StoryBrand brandscript. Not only that, but they bring working StoryBrand certified guides onto each episode to tell you how they use each dayās step in real-world marketing situations with their clients. If youāre new to marketing, or if the marketing in your business isnāt working, you need to listen to this podcast and put each step into action. Another high-quality offering from Donald Miller and the StoryBrand team.

GoDuke4458The key to making moneyOur small business is going through growing pains in learning how to market and convert leads, and this podcast gives great practical tips how to do that. The focus on story and marketing to a clientās problems is so helpful. Thank you!
-
OtherlleftExcellent if you can handle cheeseThe concepts offered here are phenomenal; well worth a listen and possibly even worth hiring one of these folks to help. Yes, this is itself a marketing vehicle. There is no hint wrong with that, buuuuuuut the cohost has so much fake enthusiasm ("awesome! Amazing!") that I find myself growing annoyed. If the cohost calms down, this will be the best marketing podcast out there. As it is, three stars.
-
sjhackmanIf you want to up your marketing game, this podcast is for you!Just like LeBron James doesnāt simply talk about basketball (he practicesāhe DOES the basketball), JJ and April donāt just talk about marketing. They give you an *ACTION STEP* in every šš¼episode šš¼ so you can DO the marketing today. Listen to this podcast and up your marketing game. š

Kelly_PerryYES!I can already tell I am going to look forward to this every week. So grateful for this team!
-
Palm GolferLove that this podcast is focused on marketing!I have benefited greatly from listening to the Business Made Simple podcast. As I listen to the podcasts I jump around from business focused to marketing focused episodes. Turning Marketing Made Simple into its own podcast is brilliant and it means I donāt need to hunt for marketing focused episodes, they will all be right here. Once again your team nails making things simple! Thanks for the extra focus on the āright engine!ā

Eva, Glendale, AZFantastic explanation of Story Brand FrameworkFast paced, upbeat and fun! The part about identifying the problem of the customer you are advertising to was great as well as remembering to create a vision for the customer. As soon as I listened to the podcast I was talking to a friend about a problem she was wrestling with. I asked her what her vision for herself was. Even though I am not a business owner or in marketing myself I could put some of the principles into practice because this all makes so much sense! Evama

evan_coxThis podcast is bad-aIv been following and using the StoryBrand framework for quite some time and it just plain works. Itās a paradigm shift that keeps wowing clients and audiences alike. Plus, if you know April and Dr. JJ, there is no better duo to walk you through keeping marketing simple and effective. Theyāre amazing at what they do and are also pretty bad-a.

RustyT777A true God-send for a newbieStory Brand and BMU took decades off of my learning curve. Marketing is something I have never had to do much of. However, as the new Executive Director of a new nonprofit, I found myself not knowing how to market Global LINK. I am so thankful that I have Story Brand to guide me from our beginning. We will be able to lay a solid marketing foundation as we connect people who help people.
-
The Wing11Triple excited!I am addicted to the Business Made Simple podcast and canāt wait to add this to my weekly routine! Go Dr. JJ! I serve in a global organization as VP, HR, Iām a certified executive coach and have recently established a small business with two colleagues. I am able to apply all that I learn on the BMS podcasts to all three roles so I feel like I get triple the benefit. š. And I know Iāll get the same benefit from your marketing wisdom.
