Welcome back to the Rumbling Facts Podcast, the home of truth bombs, critical thinking, and uncomfortable wisdom that hits harder than a corporate layoff. I’m your host, Sam—aka DjRetsam, rapper, real one, and founder of Making Others Read, where we’ve given away over 105,000 books to communities who need knowledge more than slogans. And today, we’re going deep into the multi-billion-dollar illusion of advertising, the broken system you’re being sold to by every second—and why most of it is a damn lie.Our guest is Jon Sneider, a legend in the ad world who didn’t just play the game—he hacked it. From humble beginnings selling Wave Radios for Bose over the phone to managing a $20M sales team while getting his MBA at night, Jon climbed to the top of corporate marketing. He ran massive campaigns at Digitas for brands like GM, AT&T, Microsoft, and Time Warner, then jumped client-side to overhaul Fidelity.com, before becoming Director of Advertising & Brand at L.L. Bean, where he added national TV and digital campaigns to his arsenal. Then came Microsoft. Yeah—that Microsoft, where he managed eight-figure budgets and worked with the world’s biggest ad agencies. But after years of watching big money burn with little return, he saw through the illusion—and walked away.Jon launched Wild Gravity with no capital, no team, and no buildings—just a mission to prove advertising could be done smarter, leaner, and better. Within three months, he had two trillion-dollar clients, and the agency became a multi-million-dollar machine. His book, Hacking Advertising, exposes the ugly truths behind agency waste, the myths of “branding,” and offers a blueprint for creators, entrepreneurs, and CMOs who actually want results—not awards.In this raw, no-fluff conversation, we break down the biggest lies ad agencies still sell, the truth about billion-dollar inefficiencies, and why most CMOs don’t even understand their own brand. Jon shares the most dysfunctional ad campaigns that somehow worked, and the uncomfortable truth: human nature loves fluff, and most people in power are faking it with big words and bigger budgets. We dig into how he convinced trillion-dollar companies to bet on a brand-new agency, what exact phrases closed the deals, and how he handles the psychology of risk at the highest level.This episode is for creators, business owners, and truth-seekers who want to understand the difference between a brand that wins and one that just throws money at impressions. We talk $5,000 budgets, going viral, how to build trust in cutthroat rooms, and why most companies confuse noise with impact. Jon drops his most underrated skill that made him millions, the biggest mindset shift entrepreneurs need in 2025, and reveals the dumbest trends in advertising people blindly copy.From critical thinking, to uncomfortable truths, to rebuilding the ad world from scratch—this is marketing through the Rumbling Facts lens: unfiltered, strategic, and savage.Jon Sneider LINKSWebsitehttps://hackingadvertising.com/LinkedIn URLhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/sneiderInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jonsneiderYour Host = Sam Gladu @DjRetsam @Retsam64 PODCAST LINKS Rumbling Facts Podcast on SPOTIFYhttps://open.spotify.com/show/28EVivBWPFZ25qSDwTUWSn?si=795e94fc93404d5bRumbling Facts Podcast on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/RumblingFactsPodcastRumbling Facts Clips on RUMBLEhttps://rumble.com/c/c-5646792ALL LINKS Sam DjRetsamhttp://linktr.ee/djretsamMUSIC on SPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/artist/3YgKupXc2ID3mnPZOlgJ2H?si=DQDD43iIRbOMAmydUMu1hwALL my Releases in 1 PLAYLIST-https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2gNzano55YrL39Gmlgk1pH?si=3e97588c182b470ehttps://www.instagram.com/djretsam/https://www.tiktok.com/@SamGladu https://twitter.com/samgladuhttps://www.facebook.com/DjRetsamhttps://rumble.com/user/DjRetsamhttps://www.youtube.com/@UC2OrYbprFHlOkOiWScR74dA
