  • Leveraging Podcasting to Reflect Your Company Culture

    Leveraging Podcasting to Reflect Your Company Culture
    Apr 10 2026

    In over 13 years of podcast experience, Jessica has never seen a marketing agency do what Deanna and Ashley are doing with their podcast. Ducks Unplugged isn't just a show about marketing; it's a living, breathing reflection of who Blue Duck Agency is and what it feels like to work with them.

    About our guests

    Deanna Dolecki is president of Blue Duck Agency, a boutique female-founded marketing agency. A Gen X professional with over 25 years in marketing, Deanna leads with strategy, flexibility, and a refusal to take herself too seriously. Ashley Ruggeri is a senior marketing executive and millennial mom with over 15 years of experience building results-driven programs. Together, they run Blue Duck and co-host Ducks Unplugged, a show as authentic as the agency itself.

    What we cover

    • Why Deanna and Ashley launched a podcast to differentiate in an industry where agencies all sell the same things
    • The insight that changed how Jess sees their show: it's not that the podcast shaped their culture, it's that it mirrors it
    • How their low-prep, bullet-point-only approach produces more authentic (and more entertaining) episodes than scripted content ever could
    • The basement studio story and why a corner of Ashley's son's toy room beats a professional studio
    • Their production process: batching four episodes per shoot, a dedicated producer named Cindy, and a director who has mastered the angles
    • Why their ideal clients watch the podcast before ever getting on a call and what that means for their sales cycle
    • The dream client Deanna is absolutely going after (hint: it involves online dating)

    About Blue Duck Agency

    Blue Duck is a full-service, results-based marketing agency specializing in acquisition, retention, and loyalty programs — with deep expertise in membership and subscription businesses. Every client works directly with senior staff. No hand-offs, no junior teams running your account.

  • How to Network Like a Pro with Michael Forman

    How to Network Like a Pro with Michael Forman
    Apr 3 2026

    Episode Description:

    Podcast guesting is one of the most powerful networking strategies available to coaches today, but are you making the most of the time before and after the recording? In this episode, Jessica sits down with networking expert, speaker, and podcast host Michael Forman to talk about how to network with a servant's heart, turn pre-show conversations into lasting business relationships, and why a simple handwritten thank you note might be the highest-ROI move in your entire marketing strategy.

    What you'll learn in this episode:

    • Why the best networkers lead with giving, not getting, and how to bring that mindset into every podcast conversation
    • The "gold nugget" question to ask a podcast host that immediately sets you apart from every other guest
    • How to make a host feel comfortable and truly seen during your pre- and post-show chats
    • Why handwritten thank you notes have a 100% open rate (and how to actually get someone's mailing address)
    • The simple follow-up sequence that keeps you top of mind without being pushy
    • When to use a CRM vs. staying personal with your top 50 contacts
    • Tips from Michael's new book, From Airwaves to Income, on monetizing your podcast

  • Sold His Agency, Found His Calling: Steve Guberman’s Story

    Sold His Agency, Found His Calling: Steve Guberman’s Story
    Mar 19 2026
    Episode OverviewSteve Guberman joins Jessica for a wide-ranging conversation that goes far beyond business strategy. From an accidental agency exit to an unimaginable loss, to launching a coaching practice, Steve shares the real, unfiltered story behind his company, Agency Outsight, and why authentic human connection is at the heart of everything he does.Key Topics CoveredThe Accidental Exit Steve never planned to sell his agency. After nine years of building it, burnout hit fast — triggered by losing a seven-figure anchor client and the painful layoffs that followed. On his brother's advice, he put together a pitch deck and ran a "biz dev blitz" to agency owner friends, ultimately receiving three offers and selling to a PR firm he'd known and trusted for years.Life After the Sale Steve stayed with the acquiring firm for five years total — two years on an earn-out, then three more because things were going well. He shares what it felt like to finally let go of payroll stress and operate as an employee rather than a founder.A Season of Loss and Reinvention After leaving the agency in January 2020, Steve joined a new company with a clear CMO-track vision — but three months in, he lost his teenage daughter. Shortly after, COVID hit. He opens up about how that season of grief ultimately redirected his path, and why he's grateful for the unexpected support he found in that otherwise toxic workplace.Launching Agency Outsight After leaving the toxic job, Steve spent time in his garden, reconnected with agency owner friends in his New Jersey network, and was pointed to agency coach Kelly Campbell by multiple people simultaneously. That conversation gave him the blueprint. He launched Agency Outsight in October 2020 and hasn't looked back.Getting Coaching Clients: Then vs. NowEarly days: Personal network outreach, starting with a $600/month clientToday: The Agency Bytes podcast serves as a content library and shortest sales cycle Steve has ever experienced — prospects come in already soldAlso working well: Speaking, webinars, brand partnerships, and in-person events ("IRL over URL")On Selling Without Selling Steve completed Sandler sales training but says he no longer sells at all. If the fit isn't right, he'll refer prospects to five other agency coaches. He wants clients who are ready and willing — not regretful ones he had to convince.Books & Resources MentionedTraction by Gino Wickman (EOS)A Course in MiraclesThe Surrender Experiment by Michael A.
