The Case for More Bad Ideas

The counterintuitive guide to creativity

Why traditional brainstorming fails, and how deliberately chasing bad ideas produces the good ones. Built on the research and frameworks behind the book, with examples from companies your audience already knows.

Your audience leaves with

  • Why the first ten ideas in any room are the wrong ten
  • A repeatable way to get past the obvious answer
  • How to make it safe to say the absurd thing out loud

Trust Content

Commanding attention in the AI era

AI made publishing free, so attention got expensive and trust became the only durable advantage. What actually earns belief now, why more output makes it worse, and how to build content people choose on purpose.

Your audience leaves with

  • Why more AI output produces less attention, not more
  • The signals audiences actually read as trustworthy
  • Where a human still beats the machine, specifically

A yearly read on what actually moved in social and creator marketing: the platform shifts that mattered, the ones that did not, and what it means for a team planning the next twelve months. Rebuilt every year.

Your audience leaves with

  • The ten changes worth reacting to, and the ones to ignore
  • What shifted in creator partnerships and paid social
  • A planning view for the next twelve months
