Episode 121 — “This Marketing Expert Says You’re Doing It Wrong”
Friday, March 20, 2026
Stop Marketing at People. Start Building Relationships With Them.
💡 What This Episode is About
About 15 years ago, a book came out with a simple idea:
Stop marketing at people.
Start engaging with them.
Today… everyone says they believe that.
But the internet feels louder than ever.
Algorithms drive attention.
Content creators dominate feeds.
Automation is everywhere.
So the real question is:
Did unmarketing win?
Or did marketing just get louder?
In this episode, Darren sits down with Scott Stratton — the voice behind Unmarketing — to unpack what still works, what’s broken, and what matters more than ever in today’s world.
Here’s what you’ll walk away with
Why most modern marketing still feels like “warm spam”
The difference between marketing and actually engaging
Why relationships — not reach — are still the real business driver
The concept of social currency: give before you take
Why “being human” is now the rarest strategy
The truth about social media:
It was never built for selling
It’s built for conversation
Why most agents are “puking real estate” instead of building connection
The shift from mass marketing → micro relationships
Why authenticity is now your biggest advantage
The real danger of AI in business:
Losing reps (thinking, writing, learning)
Losing trust
Losing your voice
The line that defines everything:
“If you believe business is built on relationships, make building them your business.”
Why most people focus on being known… instead of knowing people
How real estate agents should actually use community (not just talk about it)
Why “everything has changed… and nothing is different”

📅 Coming Up in Episode 122:
This episode is a reset on how you think about time. The agents who move forward are not the ones doing more — they are the ones protecting what matters. When you define a clear future and translate it into daily standards, everything changes. Your calendar becomes intentional, your actions become aligned, and your business starts compounding instead of reacting.
