EP72: Revisiting Sydney Sweeney, Cracker Barrel, the F1 movie and more.
In this episode of The Art of Commerce, Ajinkya “Jinx” Joglekar and Anish Raul revisit some of the biggest brand stories, campaigns, and marketing case studies they covered before to ask one simple question:Where are they now?They look back at Apple’s F1 movie push and whether the company really became the theatrical powerhouse many expected. They revisit Duolingo’s ability to jump into cultural moments, Cracker Barrel’s controversial rebrand, MrBeast’s Feastables as it moves beyondcreator-led growth, and Dude Wipes as it continues scaling through sharp positioning and cultural marketing.They also return to Sydney Sweeney’s recent campaigns and unpack a bigger marketing question: is attention enough, or does a campaign still need to create understanding, relevance, and long-term brand value?Across the episode, the conversation comes back to a few recurring ideas: hype has a shelf life, strong products need more than awareness, brand equity can be emotional, and the best marketing has to connect attention with real business outcomes.If you enjoy marketing case studies, brand strategy, creator-led businesses, and conversations about what actually happens after a campaign goes viral, this episode is for you.Subscribe to The Art of Commerce for more field notes, case studies, and marketing conversations.Connect with the hosts:Anish Raul: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anishraulAjinkya “Jinx” Joglekar: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajinkyaj

EP71: How to make decisions.
Anish Raul has made several major decisions this year that could shape the next five. Some looked reckless from the outside, but each one took far longer to make than people might expect.
In EP71 of The Art of Commerce, Anish and Ajinkya “Jinx” Joglekar talk about how people actually make decisions when they do not have perfect information. They discuss why delay can sometimes be more costly than action, how experience helps you recognize patterns and see the bigger picture, and why being decisive does not simply mean making fast choices. Jinx also shares how he weighs best- and worst-case outcomes, challenges yes-or-no thinking, and uses experience to know when there is enough information to move forward.
This episode covers:
· Why speed is not always courage and slowness is not always care
· How uncertainty and anxiety can cause people to delay decisions
· Why waiting too long can sometimes create more risk than acting
· How to know when you have enough information to make a decision
· Why experience helps you “zoom out” and see the full picture
· How testing points and counterpoints can reveal better options
· Why some decisions require more deliberation than others
· The difference between “spreadsheet math” and “reality math”
· How to think about reversible and difficult-to-reverse decisions
· Why strong leaders take responsibility for the decisions they approve
· How younger professionals can build better judgment through mentors, smaller decisions, and greater accountability
· Why explaining your thought process can build trust in your decision-making
· Why good decision-making does not mean getting every decision right
The central lesson is simple: you will rarely have 100% of the information. The goal is to know when you have enough, understand the risks, make the call, and be willing to own the outcome.

EP70: Your Job Is Only The Beginning
For years, Anish Raul saw leaving a corporate career as a one-way door. But after thinking more seriously about what he wanted from his career, that assumption started to change.
In EP70 of The Art of Commerce, Anish and Ajinkya “Jinx” Joglekar talk about alternative career paths, creating opportunities outside a traditional job, and building more control over where your career can go. They discuss Anish’s decision to take First Figures more seriously, Jinx’s experience building his own business before returning to corporate life, and why career moves do not always have to be permanent. They also explore experimentation, product-market fit, career identity, optionality, and the difference between fear and productive concern.
This episode covers:
· Why leaving a corporate role does not have to be a one-way door
· How to think about career changes as different routes rather than one fixed path
· Why Anish created a personal job description and 90-day plan before making his next move
· How Jinx used conversations, market research, and real-world feedback to shape his business
· Why entrepreneurs should focus on creating value and generating revenue before worrying about scale
· Why mistakes, wrong names, and imperfect ideas can be fixed along the way
· How side projects and content creation can help test an alternative career before fully committing to it
· Why waiting for the perfect opportunity can hold you back
· How building projects outside your day job can create more confidence and career optionality
· Why focusing on what you can control can turn fear into productive action
The central lesson is simple: career optionality is built by taking action. Experiment, build relationships, create work, learn from the market, and develop skills and projects that give you more than one path forward.
