Taylor and Kelly bring in Moxie's creative director, Michael Nelson, for a rare three-person episode built around a topic that's been driving them a little crazy: the flood of generative AI design showing up in small business marketing.

They're upfront from the start that this isn't an anti-AI rant. Moxie uses AI daily, for things like writing assistance, website audits, and speeding up small edits like removing a person from a photo. What they actually want to unpack is what happens when speed and convenience start replacing real strategy and creative thought, especially when a business generates flyers, social graphics, or other branded content from a prompt with no professional behind it.

Wait...but it's September!?

Yes, we know. We’re wrapping up summer with a few of the Behind the Brand conversations we keep coming back to, and it might just make you feel a bit behind on your marketing. Don't worry, we got you! 🎧

This Best of Summer 2026 episode pulls together some of our favorite moments from the past few months, including Isabella Severson on career pivots, solo travel, and building a new path as a UGC creator, plus why the businesses that win in Q4 usually start planning long before fall.

Taylor and Kelly also revisit what to do when business slows down, why cutting marketing is rarely the answer, and how longtime client Bad Habit Brewery has built a brand that stays relevant by knowing exactly who they are and what they want the taproom experience to be.

If you missed an episode this summer, this is a pretty good place to catch up.

Sometimes the problem isn’t that your marketing isn’t working. It’s that your brand no longer reflects the business you’ve become.

On this episode of Behind the Brand, Taylor and Kelly break down what brand strategy actually includes, how to know when it’s time to revisit yours, and why more marketing won’t fix unclear positioning, messaging, or audience confusion.

If your business has grown, your services have changed, or you’re struggling to explain what makes you different, this one’s for you.

What happens when a Johnny Cash tribute show becomes something audiences can actually step inside?

Taylor and Kelly sit down with Jay Ernest Music, lead singer of Church of Cash and co-creator of Folsom Prison Experience, to talk about his path from small gigs in Honolulu to international touring and the creation of an immersive theatrical show inspired by Johnny Cash’s legendary 1968 performance at Folsom Prison.

Jay also shares how the show evolved into a full brand experience, why the original website eventually stopped matching the quality of the production, and how Moxie helped create the “show before the show” through a new website, original illustration work, and printed materials.
