100 stories got us here,
and there are so many
more to tell.

It’s wild to think how far we’ve come since our first Marketing Sweats episodes. Back when we were just figuring out what this thing could be. We set out to talk honestly about the highs and lows of marketing, and along the way, we found something even better: community, connection and a whole lot of laughter.

Now, we’re turning up the volume for a major milestone. Our 100th episode. From the first recording to this moment, every guest has shared stories of passion, grit and perseverance that have shaped not only their careers, but the way we think about marketing at its core. And for this special episode, we’re bringing it home (literally) with the man who started it all: Simantel’s founder, Jim Simantel. His vision, creativity and sheer determination built the foundation the agency still stands on today. His story isn’t just our history; it’s a reminder of why we keep doing what we do.

So come celebrate the lessons learned, the voices that shaped us and the 100 episodes that got us here. Because if the past is any clue, the best conversations are still ahead.
