From product decisions, supply chain, and capital allocation, to cultural and economic shifts, competitive dynamics, technological disruptions, and internal structure – each one is a marketing force, affecting whether value is created or not, and whether a customer stays or goes. It's a business show. It's a marketing show. Create or Destroy is the show that argues they’ve always been the same thing. From the Vox Media Podcast Network and the Wisdomous Company.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-16T22:17:48.771013+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/create-or-destroy-reimagining-marketing-with-seth-matlins-7854347"},"episode":{"title":"David Axelrod on How to Rebuild the American Brand","slug":"david-axelrod-on-how-to-rebuild-the-american-brand","published_at":"2026-05-19T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/create-or-destroy-reimagining-marketing-with-seth-matlins-7854347/david-axelrod-on-how-to-rebuild-the-american-brand","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/create-or-destroy-reimagining-marketing-with-seth-matlins-7854347","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/mgln.ai/e/257/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/VMP1869924172.mp3?updated=1779151166","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/mgln.ai/e/257/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/VMP1869924172.mp3?updated=1779151166","summary":"Fundamentally, a political campaign isn’t all that different from a business – it’s an enterprise where every decision either builds value with voters or destroys it, and the voters are customers who only get to buy what you're selling, on just one day. This week’s guest is legendary political strategist David Axelrod, who was President Obama’s chief strategist and senior advisor. Currently he’s a senior political commentator for CNN, and the co-host of the Hacks on Tap podcast. In over 140 elections, Axelrod has shaped the story of a candidate and the choice voters face in the polling booth. As a self-proclaimed idealist, he sees the American brand as having been devalued, but not beyond repair. Produced by Wisdomous and the Vox Media Podcast Network.
