With over 27 years of experience and a master’s degree in industrial management from Clemson University, Wendi shares hard-won insights about what actually works in modern marketing. She discusses the importance of strategic planning over “shiny object syndrome,” why AI tools require human context to be effective, and how consistency beats the constant chase for the next big thing.
Wendi reveals her approach to working with clients across industries—from aerospace to healthcare to construction—emphasizing that success starts with clear planning, regular check-ins, and genuine buy-in from clients. She candidly addresses the challenges of AI-generated content, explaining why “garbage in, garbage out” applies and how marketing professionals must train AI tools rather than simply accepting their output.
The conversation also explores the realities of running a home-based business for nearly two decades, building a remote team through word-of-mouth recruiting, and why communication and follow-up matter more than technical skills. Wendi also hosts Confessions from the Home Office podcast, where she shares unfiltered insights about marketing business realities.
Her advice to aspiring entrepreneurs? Go full force. Don’t hold back worrying about taking on too much—you’ll figure it out.
