The Voice I Hated Built the Brand: The Hubcast Story
Is your weakness your strength?
When Marcus Sheridan suggested a podcast, George replied, "You must be out of your mind. I hate my voice. Absolutely not." Marcus persisted. The Hubcast became the first podcast of its kind in the HubSpot ecosystem and ran for 272 episodes, and at INBOUND listeners told George he sounded "like a radio DJ." This is the story of how the thing he wanted to hide became the foundation of his brand, and what it means for anyone hiding a "weakness" of their own.
