Marketing Sucks
Marketing Sucks is the podcast for business owners who are looking for practical, fun, and strategic ways to get noticed online, and don’t want to sit through 30 minutes of filler to get to the good stuff.
Each week, Grind Social Media + Co founder Amanda Casinha sits down with the industry’s most interesting and unconventional ad experts, funnel developers, content creators, and changemakers to explore their off-the-beaten-path strategies and experiences in the world of marketing and business — and dig into real stories of failures, strategies, and how they got their jaw-dropping results.

Mental Health Week - Your Questions Answered with Natacha Pennycooke
Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! In our quarterly mental health episode of Marketing Sucks, I’m joined again by the incredible Natacha Pennycooke for a deep dive into some of the biggest mental health issues faced by business owners. This time around, we’re tackling juicy audience-submitted questions, like:
- How can I see myself as others do?
- How do I figure out what my emotional needs are?
- How do I create healthy boundaries — and actually STICK to them?
- Is my drive to succeed in business just high-functioning anxiety?
- How can I stop comparing myself to others on social media?
- How do I know if I’m addicted to work?
What should I focus on first when dealing with loss?
Tune in as we explore our love-hate relationship with influencers (and how to strategically unfollow them), the benefits of connecting with like-minded people, and the surprising power of a well-placed sticky note.
Marketing sucks. Let’s learn together. Hit play to discover:
- How to ditch the social media comparison game, so you can stop feeling bad about yourself for no reason
- How to reframe the concept of boundaries (and stop feeling weird about setting them!)
- How to put yourself first and fiercely protect your non-negotiables
