Stuart Briscar

For the past 20 years I’ve worked with 62 CEOs and business owners on marketing strategy. That’s given me a front-row seat on how to think strategically when building organizations.

A lot of my work has been about helping teams handle change and keep moving. I’ve led restructures, trained people on new standards, and run regular 1:1s with managers to find and clear roadblocks. I’ve also worked with marketing and creative teams to tighten how they communicate so projects stay on track.

I’ve trained specialists to step into account strategy, developed team playbooks and standards to build consistency, and set a simple leadership rhythm with weekly manager check-ins and monthly growth sessions to keep priorities clear. I also built a recognition program that made people’s contributions visible and encouraged participation. Across many roles, I’ve acted as the bridge between strategy and execution.

During a merger, I temporarily managed both teams, aligned them on shared processes, and helped stabilize delivery while maintaining performance. 

At my church, I restructured the staff onboarding process that was spread across five people and reduced it to two, which made everything more consistent. I also created the Leadership Development Plan for our church and trained staff through workshops and 1:1s so everyone used the same language and framework to develop volunteers at every level.

My background in performance psychology and my doctoral work in strategic leadership help me connect how people think with how organizations grow.

Let’s get unstuck. 🔓

People have been saying SEO is dead for more than a decade.

It isn't dead. Not then. Not now.

And AI hasn't killed it either.

Yes... it looks different today. You cannot stuff keywords anymore or hide them in white text on a white background. Yes, LLMs can search websites and recommend products. 

But SEO is still alive and working for those who respect it.

LLMs still search the web. Search engines still reward relevance.

Good content still matters.
Backlinks still matter.
Authority still matters.

Stop burying SEO before it takes its last breath. It is not a ghost. It just evolved.

SEO survives because the internet is still built on language. That is something AI does not replace. It magnifies it. The real question is how to write for both humans and machines without losing the human voice.

I once had a client tell me to turn off their best performing ad because the CTR was "too low"

I said: "This ad has the lowest CAC and the highest number of purchases... it doesn't make sense to turn it off"

They followed up with, "well, I just don't like the way the ad looks"

What is your favorite client story? 👇

The Shopify Sidekick is the greatest addition to Shopify in the history of Shopify.

I have been using Shopify for over 10 years and I used to think real-time shipping in Shopify was amazing

And then I thought Cart Drawer included in basic templates was amazing

And then I thought integrating Meta data directly was amazing

But Sidekick is by far greater than all of these combined.

You can literally ask it anything about your data and it will tell you super fast

Want to know your Contribution Margin?

Want to know what percentage of orders happen below your Free Shipping Threshold?

Want to know who your top customers are?

Sidekick can do it almost instantly.

If Google Analytics would include something like this with Gemini, it would make GA4 usable again

I might be addicted to learning!

But my favorite part is getting to share what I've learned with other people

I was having a conversation with friend who also teaches and I asked them WHY they enjoy teaching.

They said something along the lines of "I enjoy sharing knowledge with others"

Good answer!

But mine is a little different.

When I am sharing what I have learned, it usually is from a place of "You have got to check this out... this is so cool!"

These are many of the books I read this year... it's actually not even all of them.

And not only am I learning from books, NotebookLM has completely changed the way we can learn things quickly.

If you are not using NotebookLM to learn, you are missing out on an incredible opportunity. It literally 10x how much I am able to learn, and then teach others.

So, we are getting close to the end of the year...

What were some of your favorite books that you read this year?

Look closely at the image below. 

At first you just see an eye. But look again and you’ll notice something else… a maze.

That maze exists in all of us.

Whether we realise it or not, our brains constantly take shortcuts. 

Psychologists call them cognitive biases and every consumer is influenced by them every day. 

We like to believe we make rational choices, yet we often react faster than we reflect.

Dan Ariely says humans are predictably irrational, and the more you look at the psychology, the easier it is to agree with that concept.

Here are some of the ways we are influenced, whether we realize it or not...

→ Loss Aversion
Losing hurts twice as much as winning feels good. That’s why “Don’t miss out” often outperforms “Save today.”

→ Scarcity & FOMO
When something is limited, desire increases. Countdown timers and “Only 3 left” aren’t just tactics, they speak directly to a primal survival system.

→ Anchoring
The first number we see quietly defines what “expensive” or “cheap” means. A high original price makes the discount feel bigger than it really is.

→ Social Proof
We copy others when we’re not sure what to do. Reviews, UGC, and “10,000 people have already joined” tap into our herd wiring.

→ Reciprocity
Give first. Receive later. Free trials and samples activate an ancient rule of social fairness.

For myself, there have been way too many times I purchased something simply because it had over 1,000 5-star reviews. 

Is marketing about manipulation, or is it about understanding the triggers already deep inside of each of us, getting us to do what we already want to do?

Most companies aren't hiring for a culture fit, they're hiring for a vibe fit

They are checking for chemistry when they should be checking for character

They are checking for personality when they should be checking for values

But that's the wrong way to hire for a culture fit.

A person's personality may look great when things are easy, but who are they under pressure?

In your next interview, ask these questions to uncover a person's values and character:

"Think of a time something didn’t go according to plan. How did you adjust?"

"When have you had to make a decision that wasn’t popular? What guided your thinking?"

"What’s a project you’d do differently if you could go back? What did it teach you?"

👉  Leaders, how are you checking for culture fit before you ever hire someone?

90% of the InMail I get is these secret "franchise opportunities"

What in the world is this?

And it's always from a middle-person

The funniest thing ChatGPT has added lately

Industry specific experience in DTC Ecom is overrated.

This is coming from someone who has owned marketing across 12 different industries... beauty, fashion, wellness, home goods, and everything in between.

What I have seen over and over is that the fundamentals always win. 

If you understand the ICP on a deep level
If the product is strong
If the messaging speaks clearly to real desires and real problems... you can adapt to almost any vertical.

The strategies, the acquisition structures, the creative thinking, the testing methodology, and the customer psychology all transfer.

Every industry may have its nuances, but the core levers do not change. 

If you can build trust and guide buying decision, the industry is basically irrelevant.

Specialization might help, but strong fundamentals scale everywhere.

Vidhi Toshniwal

A friend of mine just crossed $10K in a single month.

And what shocked me wasn’t the money,
it was how it started.

Not with a big team.

It started with her sitting on her bed… typing one simple line into Replit Design Mode.

Just two months earlier, she was stuck.

She had an idea for an AI image generator app, users could type a description and instantly get a professional-quality image for social media, presentations, or marketing, but every time she tried to create a website or app for it, she froze.

“I’m not a designer.”
“I can’t build a site.”
“What if it looks unprofessional?”

So the idea kept collecting dust.

One random night, she tried Replit Design Mode out of pure frustration. Typed a single sentence describing her idea.

And boom, in under 2 minutes, she had:

✓ A clean, aesthetic, professional landing page
✓ A fully designed app interface where users could generate images instantly
✓ Interactive elements like image previews and download buttons
✓ A version she could edit in normal English
✓ The option to turn it into a full app with Convert to App

Zero coding.

She published it the SAME night.

The next week, she started getting users.
Her app went viral among small businesses and creators.

By month two, she hit $10,000 in revenue.

Not because she was “lucky.”
But because she finally removed the walls between ideas → execution.

If you’re waiting for the perfect moment… stop waiting.

Sometimes your life changes in the 2 minutes you decide to actually start.

Try it yourself → https://replit.com

Last night, I did something crazy.

I built a full AI Meeting Assistant app on Replit…

and I’m still shocked at how fast it happened 🤯

I opened Replit with one simple idea:

“An AI meeting assistant that takes notes, creates summaries, and sends tasks.”

That’s it.

I typed the description…
and in under 2 minutes, the entire design appeared.

Like magic.

➡️ Clean dashboard
➡️ Note-taking space
➡️ Auto-summary section
➡️ Task list with assignees
➡️ Email/Drive export buttons
➡️ Fully mobile-ready

Then I clicked Convert to App…
and suddenly it wasn’t just a design.

It became a working product.

Before Replit, this would’ve taken:
days of wireframing,
hours of meetings,
and endless “Can you send the updated version?”

Now it takes:
one prompt.
one click.
one minute.

This genuinely felt like the fastest idea → reality moment of my life.

If you’ve been sitting on an idea, big or small,
this is your sign to finally build it.

Do check it out: https://replit.com

P.S. Dropping the first AI tool I created using Replit 🔥

I used to think building an app needed two things:

A laptop
and years of coding experience.

Turns out… I was wrong 🤐

A few weeks ago, I created a fully working app, not by typing complex code, but by simply explaining what I wanted in plain English using Replit.

No setup.
No prior knowledge

Just… vibe coding.

That moment completely shifted how I look at creating apps and tools.

Because here’s the truth:

Most great ideas die in notebooks because people assume they need skills, time, or a big team to bring them to life.

But now?
Platforms like Replit are breaking that barrier completely.

You can literally:

➡️ Speak your idea into the screen
➡️ Connect it to tools you already use — Notion, Slack, Google Drive, Dropbox
➡️ Switch across 300+ AI models without touching a single API key
➡️ Build from anywhere, even from your phone

One small prompt becomes a working app.
One idea becomes something real, instantly.

This is the part that excites me the most:

You don’t need prior knowledge of coding anymore.
You just need curiosity.

Just open Replit.
Type what you want.
Build something that makes your life easier.

If this excites you, it's time to turn your idea into reality.

Last week on a trip, my phone battery died.

And I guess we’ve all been there 😉

Perfect sky, perfect moment… but the phone just couldn’t keep up.

So when I saw Moto g67 POWER 5G “phone tombstones” floating around online, I laughed way too hard.

Because… yeah, been there.
“Camera died mid-sunset.”
“Battery gave up halfway up K2.”

Too real.

Then I read about their #UnstoppableChallenge, where creators travel India’s longest routes on just one charge.

No power banks.
Just trust in that 7000 mAh battery.

And 50MP Sony Lytia 600 Camera photograph.

What a quality of photo.

All that power and performance at just ₹14,999* — not gonna lie, that’s bold.

And kind of refreshing to see a brand actually prove its point instead of just saying it.

Because if there’s one thing this generation doesn’t do,
it’s choose this or that.
We do both.

Hustle and chill.
Shoot and scroll.
Create and consume.

Moto just… got it right this time 😎

Weddings these days?
Straight up Bollywood mode 😂

And dulha entries?
Full action-movie energy.

Horses, jeeps, vintage cars…
bas jetpack hi baaki hai 😂

I saw the new Shaadi.com film today and honestly, it felt like a gentle roast for our entire generation.

“Sahi entry se zyada important hai, sahi hero ki entry.”

Funny, real, and a reminder we seriously needed.

In a world chasing aesthetic weddings,
maybe it’s time we focus on authentic partnerships too.

Loved how they turned a cultural habit into a clever message, light, humorous, and still spot-on.

Who else felt personally attacked by this ad? 😭🔥

I've always believed travel wasn’t tiring, planning was.

Choosing a place to stay is one task.
Choosing how to get there is another.

Syncing them?
A whole battle.

But recently, while checking out The Hosteller properties, I discovered something surprisingly useful.

You can now book RedBus tickets directly on The Hosteller website.

No redirects.
No confusing tabs.

Just a simple, dedicated page where you book your bus through RedBus without leaving The Hosteller ecosystem.

Which basically means:

✔️ Stay? Sorted.
✔️ Travel? Sorted.
✔️ Experience? Already smoother.

My entire flow now looks like this:

1. Pick my Hosteller stay
2. Open their RedBus page
3. Check buses to that exact destination
4. Compare timings, seats & prices
5. Book everything from one single website

No double-checking arrival times.
No stress.

For someone like me who loves last-minute plans, this is exactly the kind of update that actually encourages more travel.

Because when planning becomes frictionless, travel becomes natural.

It made me realize something simple:

Travel doesn’t require more time; it requires fewer steps.

And honestly, credit to Hanuman Singh 🦍, he showed me this integration and made me realize how much smoother travel feels when everything sits in one place.

When you’ve been watching the Indian marketing space closely, some partnerships just click the moment you hear them. For me, Asian Paints stepping in as the Official Partner of India Home Cricket with BCCI felt like that instant “ah, this fits” moment.

Asian Paints have always been more than paints and shade cards. It’s one of those rare Indian brands that has shaped how we express, decorate, and emotionally connect with our homes for decades. And if there’s one thing that connects India like home, it’s cricket. The sport brings together 1.4 billion people with the same emotion, at the same moment, even if everything else in the country feels different.

So the timing makes sense. Asian Paints has built marketing credibility over the years, especially through memorable campaigns around festivals, families, and stories. Stepping into cricket now feels like a natural extension of that journey, not a sudden sponsorship move. 

A legacy brand entering a legacy sport, not for a cameo, but for a long, smartly planned partnership. Curious to see what this looks like when the colour, emotion and stadium energy all come together.
