Sleeping Barber - A Marketing Podcast SBP 183: The PostPod - The Habit That Shapes Better Marketers
What shapes the way you think?
In this post-pod conversation, Marc Binkley and Vassilis Douros reflect on their discussion with Roger Martin — not just on strategy, but on something deeper: where curiosity comes from, and why it matters more than ever.
From personal stories to practical implications, this conversation explores the moments that shape how we question, how we problem-solve, and how we navigate complexity in modern marketing.
They unpack:
- The early experiences that shape how we think and challenge ideas
- Why asking better questions is more valuable than having quick answers
- How Roger Martin’s thinking connects to real-world problem solving
- The role of AI in accelerating outputs — but not replacing judgment
- Why the future of marketing belongs to those who can think, not just execute
As knowledge becomes more accessible and tools become more powerful, the real advantage shifts from information to interpretation.
This is a conversation about staying curious, thinking critically, and resisting the pull toward easy answers.
