"Thoughts on our business after 3 years" - Car Ride Thoughts - Jeremy Hicks

"Thoughts on our business after 3 years" - Car Ride Thoughts - Jeremy Hicks

In this episode, Jeremy gets a little personal and shares some RAW thoughts on the past 3 years of Paper Jacket. We basically started 3 years ago (June 2016) as just John and Jeremy - conquering the world! But...as moist business owners will tell you, the romance of being an entrepreneur can ware off or die down. Life gets REALLY busy. 

Jeremy shares what we have learned as a business and in our personal lives what growing a brand or business is all about. If you are a new business  - especially within your first 3 years - you HAVE TO listen to this. The earlier you get some perspective, the better.

Biggest take -away from this: "Don't grow a job...grow a business."

"Your Business Won't Grow Without These Elements" - Car Ride Thoughts - with Jeremy Hicks

"Your Business Won't Grow Without These Elements" - Car Ride Thoughts - with Jeremy Hicks

In this episode, Jeremy discusses two big things:


1) How the SEO game is the exact same strategy - just a different formula.

2) How you can never grow your business without BOTH a marketing and sales team.


In the beginning, Jeremy gives a practical understanding of how marketing results are broken up into two strategies. From there, he shares why you should not expect the same results from marketing as you do sales - or visa versa. Jeremy also breaks down a practical analogy of how your marketing and sales team are like a football team. Listen to find out what he means by that.

Epiphany Toilet - Ep 2 - "Friggin Payless

In this epiphany toilet episode, Jeremy shares his thoughts on the recent Payless commercial and social experiment. Let's just say it wasn't very positive.


Not because we're dogging their commercial. We're dogging their brand. Their brand that says "we give you a cheap experience for the 'quality' of our shoe."


Take a listen, share some thoughts. But whatever you do, make sure you share it with others to get their thoughts as well.

"Bull crap - you DID grow your business with marketing" - Car Ride Thoughts - with Jeremy Hicks

"Bull crap - you DID grow your business with marketing" - Car Ride Thoughts - with Jeremy Hicks

You know what I hate hearing? The lie of businesses and organizations saying that they grew without any marketing. Do they even know what marketing is? It’s more than advertising. It’s more than flyers, businesses cards, social media and email. It’s your logo. It’s your tagline. It’s your description. It’s ever single piece of content you’ve ever made. You may have done less than others, but you’ve always done marketing. Now ask yourself - should I be known as the company that doesn’t market? Will that actually help my grow?

Email Marketing Strategies in 2019 - Car Ride Thoughts - with Jeremy Hicks

Email Marketing Strategies in 2019 - Car Ride Thoughts - with Jeremy Hicks

Car ride thoughts - honest thoughts on email marketing. Whenever I hear about people buying list and sending out huge email blast, are usually cringe. I also tend to agree that email marketing is kinda dead. Not fully, but certainly harder than most other platforms that are out there. I ultimately believe that social media is the best place to interact with your audience. So if you use your email marketing like to use your social media, I think you could have a profitable email marketing strategy. But if you use email marketing like a constant advertisement, you’re going to lose a lot of people and hurt your brand.
