About Wise Wednesday

Welcome to Wise Wednesday, a podcast where we go beyond marketing tactics and brand buzzwords to uncover the stories that shape creative and business professionals. Hosted by Jake Britton, founder of Wise Bear Creative, each episode dives into honest conversations with marketers, creators, and entrepreneurs about how they got here—and what they’ve learned along the way. This isn’t your average marketing podcast. We’re not chasing vanity metrics or pretending it’s all been smooth sailing. We talk about the grind, the pivots, the personal breakthroughs, and the moments that tested everything. Our guests open up about the wins and the setbacks that led to their version of success. Whether you’re building a brand, chasing a vision, or trying to stay sane in the world of business and creativity, Wise Wednesday is here to bring you stories that inspire, challenge, and connect.
