Whether you’re a brand builder, business owner, or just here for the hot takes, this episode is your no-BS guide to ending the year with strategy, spice, and a few laughs.

Welcome to another fiery episode of Market It Like It’s Hot! In today’s special year-end review, hosts Yasmine Robles and Izzy Dadoski invite you to join their honest—and often hilarious—recap of what worked, what flopped, and what truly surprised them in 2025.

From crossing the country for conferences and leveling up the Rebel Marketing brand, to commiserating over conference hummus wraps and the ups and downs of pregnancy, these two cut through the marketing fluff with real talk, candid stories, and a dash of humor.

Tune in to hear reflections on building community, the realities of business growth, and why sometimes a little recognition (and avoiding boring LinkedIn Bros) goes a long way.

Consistency Pays Off (Even When You Don't Realize It)

When Izzy Dadoski took a break from her weekly "Marketing Weekly" series, the flood of DMs proved just how much people value consistent, authentic content—even if they’re silent lurkers.

Community is Everything

Networking paid off in spades. From national conferences to local partnerships (and even a packed anniversary party!), meaningful connections and showing up for your community will always open new doors.

Never Settle for "Boring"

Whether it’s running your business from both coasts or refusing to accept soggy hummus wraps at conferences, Yasmine Robles and Izzy Dadoski remind us the best marketing is always a little spicy—and never follows the status quo.
