How do you market a venue no one can see yet? You build demand before the doors open.

A college project, a near-disaster before the first can even sold, a taproom opening right before COVID, and a THC beverage brand launched in just 19 days.

Jason Dayton’s entrepreneurial story is proof that the plan is rarely the part that lasts.

This week on Behind the Brand, we’re talking about the wild ride behind Minneapolis Cider Company and magic, what it takes to spot an opportunity early, and why being willing to adapt might matter more than having everything figured out from the start.

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.
