Hosted by Taylor Marks, each episode explores modern marketing through the lens of today's AI-driven landscape, including content creation, messaging, buyer psychology, funnels, launches, offer strategy, and audience growth. This is not a podcast about becoming an AI expert or replacing human teams with bots. Instead, Pretty Smart Marketing focuses on helping real business owners market more effectively in a world where AI is changing how businesses create, communicate, and sell. Each week, Taylor shares practical strategies, proven frameworks, behind-the-scenes experiments, and open, honest conversations about what's working right now - not last year. AI is changing the way we run our businesses, but when it comes to good marketing? There's no replacement for tried and tested, real-world data. Pretty Smart Marketing combines the two.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-30T00:18:25.621694+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pretty-smart-marketing-7505299"},"episode":{"title":"26 | The Most Expensive Mistake Coaches + Course Creators Make After Cart Close","slug":"26-the-most-expensive-mistake-coaches-course-creators-make-after-cart-close","published_at":"2026-03-31T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pretty-smart-marketing-7505299/26-the-most-expensive-mistake-coaches-course-creators-make-after-cart-close","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pretty-smart-marketing-7505299","url":"https://launchconfidential.com/post/26-the-most-expensive-mistake-coaches-course-creators-make-after-cart-close","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/20006455-25c1-4be7-8b48-1d97b139823c.mp3","summary":"Cart close can feel final. But not everyone who didn’t buy is a hard “no”. Some of them are still leaning in, still deciding, and closer than they seemed to be from the outside.
