Marketing Sweats by Simantel
Marketing Sweats is a podcast focused on hardworking professionals in marketing, technology and customer experience. From adrenaline-producing deadlines to keep-you-up-at-night launches, get a first-hand account of what it’s like to be a high-level marketing executive making big-time decisions. Listeners will hear the heart, soul and, yes, sweat marketing pros and business leaders pour into getting the job done right.
Why Are We Doing It?
Born out of a sheer curiosity and a passion for learning & growth, Marketing Sweats is more than a podcast. We’re here to build a community of other marketers seeking to have meaningful conversations – and learn from others – ultimately helping all of us grow personally & professionally. The show is intended to:
Provide educational content for learners that want to grow; identifying issues that impact all of our success.
Build a community, of engaged listeners, ultimately growing the networks of those that share and those that listen – to fuel more powerful connections.
Uncover and seek out personal stories, so we get to know each other as people – and ultimately build a new, shared story – together

Testimonials
Simantel’s Marketing Sweats podcast is a fantastic way to get inside the minds of successful marketing and business professionals. Host Misty Dykema draws from her deep knowledge of both the agency and business sides of marketing, as well as years of leadership experience, to ask incisive questions—not just about processes and outcomes, but also what shaped the thinking and journey of her guests. As a result, what they share goes deeper than the average podcast interview.
In her engaging style, Misty demonstrates an understanding of each guest’s background and business, as well as the ability to quickly connect dots, for example between a guest’s insight and a marketing trend. Listeners can count on learning something new from these conversations, while also being entertained. I always come away from listening to Marketing Sweats feeling it was time well spent. I wouldn’t miss an episode!
– Susan Reising, Communication Consultant
Now I know why it’s called Marketing
