Want to know the biggest reason your marketing isn’t working? It doesn’t reflect you.

Most ads are generic. They could work for any business. But the best ads only work for one—because they’re built around the true personality of the founder or brand. They’re specific, not because of the product, but because of who’s behind it. That’s what makes them powerful. That’s what makes them real. That’s the heart of relational marketing— which is what today’s episode is all about.

I’m joined by Roy H. Williams—better known as the “Wizard of Ads”—who has helped iconic companies like 1-800-GOT-JUNK craft ads that fueled billion-dollar growth. Over the past 40 years, Roy has advised hundreds of founders, showing them how to grow through story, truth, and personality, instead of gimmicks, hype, or shallow tactics.

If you want to write ads that break through the noise and actually connect with your buyers, this episode will change the way you think about marketing forever.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

1.) How Roy helped grow 1-800-GOT-JUNK from $97M to $1B—by leading with truth and identity, not data or demographics.

2.) Why identity—not logic—drives every buying decision, and how your brand can tap into who your customers really are in order to better serve them.

3.) What makes a company truly remarkable—and the one question Roy uses to test if your marketing actually makes people care.

4.) The 4 things every human is secretly looking for—and how to build them into your ads so people don’t just notice you… they trust you.
