2023 A Year in Review for MTFW – A Marketing Podcast
This was quite a year for More than a Few Words. I had more than 70 lively conversations with marketing professionals from around the world. Some of my favorite guests from years past dropped by for a repeat visit and there were lots of conversations with amazing new people I met this past year.
We talked about sales, entrepreneurship, marketing planning, content and email marketing SEO and PPC, and of course AI. If you missed any of those conversations you will find a complete list, below. There were also marketing minutes every Sunday morning, where I shared just a quick tip to start your week.

THERE’S MORE!
In 2023 I released MORE THAN A FEW WRITTEN WORDS, a collection of essays by some of my favorite guests from around the globe. The book gave them a way to share their expertise in a new format. It is divided into three sections; sales tips, content marketing and strategies for business owners.
The articles, like the podcast episodes are designed to be consumed in any order. Read them one at a time or binge several at once.
The book is available on AMAZON in both digital and print versions.
What’s in store for 2024?
I am excited about the conversations I scheduled. There will also be a second edition of More than a Few Written Words, with even more great essays and some virtual training.
Don’t miss out on all the surprises I have planned for my 15th year in podcasting,
