  • Why Buyers Don't Buy The Story You're Telling | Simon & Scott

    Founders love their origin story. Buyers don’t buy it.

    In this co-hosted episode of Makin Mighty: The Challenger Sessions, Simon Greenwood-Haigh and Scott Cramner unpack why brand storytelling so often falls flat in retail and commercial conversations.

    We talk about:

    • why relevance beats romance when you’re trying to sell
    • why your brand is the sidekick, not the hero
    • when storytelling does work (and what it needs to do)
    • examples where story builds credibility and trust (and where it’s just noise)

    If you’re building a challenger brand and leading with your founder story, this is a useful reset.

  • Why Your Content Isn’t Working (It’s Not the Algorithm) | Simon & Scott
    2026/02/17

    Send a text

    A lot of founders blame the algorithm when their content doesn’t land. It’s a convenient scapegoat.

    In this co-hosted episode of Makin Mighty: The Challenger Sessions, Simon Greenwood-Haigh and Scott Cramner unpack what’s really going on: most challenger brands don’t have an algorithm problem — they’ve got a messaging problem.

    We get into:

    • why “going viral” is not a strategy
    • how consistency beats random spikes
    • why knowing exactly who you’re talking to changes everything
    • what great brands do differently (Surreal, Red Bull, and a couple of weird ones you’ll want to look up)

    If you’re building a challenger brand and posting loads without seeing results, this episode will help you tighten the message and make content easier to create.

  • The Retail Reality: Getting Listed and Staying Listed | Jasmine Wheelhouse (Taking the Pea)
    2026/02/10

    Getting listed is not the win...it’s permission to start proving yourself.

    In this episode of Makin Mighty: The Challenger Sessions, Simon Greenwood-Haigh is joined by Jasmine Wheelhouse (CEO/“Pea-EO” of Taking the Pea) to talk honestly about the retail reality for challenger brands: getting a buyer’s attention, winning the pitch, and what it takes to stay listed once you’re on shelf.

    We cover:

    • what “retail ready” really looks like in practice
    • buyer ghosting and the resilience required to keep pushing
    • what buyers are actually listening for
    • the “first big retailer” catch-22
    • the money trap founders fall into when they’re desperate for traction
