Stop Mimicking and Start Making Content That Actually Matters (with Tylor Jones) | Ep. 21

Content that actually resonates starts with telling the whole truth about what you can and cannot do right now. In this conversation, Trevor Grimes sits down with Tylor Jones, Director of Digital Acquisition at SIB Fixed Cost Reduction and 3X demand gen leader, to talk through category busting content, flopped campaigns, and building something that really matters.

Tylor shares the long journey from 35 years of fixed cost reduction data to Spend Brain, a niche LLM that lets you “have a conversation with your spend,” plus how he borrows the B2C playbook, spends $100,000 a month on Meta, and uses UGC videos to make a complex offer feel simple.

They walk through painful PLG and FBA reimbursement flops, the almond milk story, Reddit threads, cults, The Wandering Home Podcast, and why most teams under $20 million should stop chasing podcasts and ebooks and move the needle with honest structure, clear distribution, and real communities.
