Is Anything Real In Paid Advertising?
"Is Anything Real in Paid Advertising?" is the show where agency founders, marketers, and skeptics unpack what’s actually working, and what’s just noise.
Hosted by Adam W. Barney (author, strategist, and energy coach with $100M+ in ad experience), this no-fluff, 20-minute video podcast dives into the tactics, tools, and truths shaping modern agency growth.
Each episode is a co-hosted conversation - unfiltered, spicy, and built for anyone tired of the same recycled playbooks.
