Why Failure Is Your Best Growth Hack | Bathroom Break #68 🚽
Most of your marketing is going to fail. And that’s not a problem…unless you pretend it didn’t.
Daniel and Jay get honest about falling on your face and getting back up again.
Jay breaks down how even “successful” metrics, like a 47% open rate, are still rooted in failure and why marketers need to get comfortable with those numbers if they ever want to grow.
Daniel emphasizes the importance of creating a culture where failure is analyzed and shared. And, they explore how holding onto a bad idea can drain budgets, tank morale, and stop better ideas from getting the attention they deserve. How do you pick things up when it seems like a failure?
This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about going when the going gets tough. 🚽

How to Thrive as a Solo Marketer in the Chaos of Early-Stage Startups with Sandy Mangat, Head of Marketing at Pocus | Ep. 338
When Sandy Mangat joined Pocus as its first go-to-market hire, there was no brand, no messaging, and only a Webflow template and a Fiverr logo to start with.
Daniel’s out, Tamara is IN…and she’s got a special guest and startup Marketer Sandy Mangat.
They talk about the realities of being a startup’s first Marketer: how to decide where to focus when everything feels urgent and why brand and demand aren’t separate. As a solo marketer at a seed-stage startup, Sandy had to balance big-picture strategy while building a category, a community, and a cult following from the ground up. How do you start from scratch?
Plus, why is “delusional optimism” the best skill to have? Sandy walks us through her mindset.
If you’ve ever started from the ground up or love building brands from scratch, this is the episode for YOU.
