This Monday Marketing & Mindset episode dives into the most-clicked article from last week's Bubbles & Biz newsletter, a groundbreaking UX study on Google’s AI overviews. 🤖

I break down key takeaways from the research, including how AI is changing search behavior, reducing click-throughs, and shifting where we need to focus our SEO efforts. 🔍

Then, we shift gears into mindset with a quick reflection on The Illusion of Money by Kyle Cease. I share how this book challenged my perspective on money, why our internal beliefs matter more than we think, and how rewiring your money mindset can be one of the most important steps you take as an entrepreneur. 💸

This week on Bubbles & Biz, I’m raising a glass with Justin Anderson, an inspiring entrepreneur who launched his first brand in high school and hasn’t stopped cooking up success since! 🍾✨

Justin shares his journey from creating a soft granola recipe in his mom’s kitchen (after a broken bracket incident) to scaling his snack brand Woats into 8,500 stores across the country. Now, he’s spicing things up with his latest venture, Bel Air Ranch, a Texas-based gourmet seasoning company focused on freshness, flavor, and relationships with both customers and local meat departments!

We chat about the ups and downs of the CPG industry, the power of customer connection, and why sometimes you just need to take a big gulp of champagne and make the ask. Plus, you’ll hear how Martha Stewart came to love his seasoning, what he calls the "French Workout," and why his favorite marketing is in-store sampling that builds memorable moments. ❤️
