In this episode of YOUmanize™ Your Brand, Rachel B. Lee and Joshua B. Lee get real about the noisy world of modern marketing. Joshua B. Lee reflects on his journey from print ads to social media concerts to AI-driven funnels, and how it's time to recalibrate. You’ll hear why human connection will always outperform hacks, how trust is built in the details, and why your brand needs more soul (and heart) and (at times) less strategy. If you’re tired of being told you need a new vsl funnel or webinar every month, this one’s for you.
Listen in as we unpack:
🟠 Why "back to basics" is the next big marketing move
🟠 Lessons from the early days of social media marketing
🟠 How AI and digital fatigue are reshaping trust
🟠 The power of real human connection over click funnels
