Holiday urgency is real, whether you are trying to squeeze into your jeans or squeeze in those last few deals, and on this Bathroom Break Daniel Murray pulls Jay Schwedelson into a fast, funny riff on how to make that urgency actually pay off. They get into a wild "ate through the shot" Wegovy story, then flip it into simple, budget friendly tactics that push people to buy or opt in without feeling gimmicky. From DTC countdown discounts to B2B content that literally expires, you get plug and play ideas you can steal before the year is over.
