Another week, another round of marketing insights, branded merch strategies, and a few laughs along the way! At Hasseman Marketing, we love creating content that helps businesses grow while keeping things engaging and fun. This past week was packed with valuable lessons, great conversations, and even a little time with Maverick (our favorite four-legged co-star).
If you missed anything, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Here’s a look at what went down this week at Hasseman Marketing.
Monday Minute: The Sentence That Kills Progress
We kicked off the week with Monday Minute, where Kirby shared a phrase that stops progress in its tracks—“I am already good at that.”
It’s a dangerous mindset. The moment you decide you don’t need to improve, you stop growing. The best in any industry—from elite athletes to top entrepreneurs—never stop learning and refining their skills. The key to long-term success? Stay curious. Stay coachable. Keep improving.

Employee Appreciation Day Reminder (Starring Maverick!)
Jade and her pup Maverick took over the camera to remind everyone that Employee Appreciation Day is coming up on March 7th.
If you want to show your team some love, branded merch is a great way to make employees feel valued and engaged. Plus, Maverick steals the show in this one, so even if you don’t need the reminder, it’s worth watching for the cuteness overload. 🐶

Stop Task Switching & Get More Done
Want to be more productive? STOP task switching.
Kirby shared a short but powerful productivity tip on YouTube this week, and it’s something we’re all guilty of doing. Constantly shifting between tasks kills focus and slows down progress. Instead, commit to one thing at a time, and you’ll get way more done.

Delivering Marketing Joy: From Bank Robber to Sales Leader
This week’s Delivering Marketing Joy was a special one. Kirby sat down with Luke Lunkenheimer, who shared his incredible journey from bank robber to sales leader.
Yep, you read that right. Luke’s story is one of redemption, resilience, and growth, and his insights on overcoming challenges to find success are truly inspiring. If you need a reminder that it’s never too late to change your path, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Thirsty Thursday: The Hangover Cure from Las Vegas
Thirsty Thursday is back! This time, we recorded from the PPAI Expo show floor in Las Vegas—and let’s just say, the theme was fitting.
In this episode, we put The Hangover Cure to the test in a mystery drink challenge. Did it actually work? Were our taste buds forever ruined? You’ll have to watch and find out!
