What are some ways you plan to simplify or streamline your own business or marketing efforts this year?

Whether you’re looking for inspiration to clean up your business strategies or just want to hear relatable stories about work, life, and the occasional mishap with a door frame, this episode has something for you.

Welcome to a brand new year with Market It Like It's Hot! In this episode, hosts Yasmine Robles and Izzy Dadoski kick things off with their signature mix of playful banter, real talk, and no-nonsense marketing advice.

Both hosts get honest about the joys and challenges of balancing business, personal growth, and life’s inevitable curveballs.

The duo talks about their personal and professional "survival kits" for 2026—think keeping it simple, prioritizing accountability, updating marketing basics, and yes, squeezing in time for hobbies and self-care.

They talk about what they're letting go of (comparison, negativity, jam-packed schedules) and what they're embracing (authenticity, smarter networking, and that infectious Rebel Marketing energy).

Grab your headphones, maybe a beverage, and join Yasmine Robles and Izzy Dadoski as they set the tone for a marketing year that’s anything but boring.

Here are the top 3 takeaways for fellow marketers, entrepreneurs, and business leaders:

Keep It Simple & Strategic

Don’t fall into the trap of chasing every shiny marketing trend. Just updating your business profiles and streamlining processes can bring massive improvements. Sometimes 20 minutes of focused work online beats spending hours at endless networking events!

Accountability is Everything

Let your team know your goals (and your boundaries)! Whether juggling flexible hours, parent life, or staying sane with a packed schedule—make your needs known, build in accountability, and trust your team to have your back.

Trim the Fluff—Focus on What Matters

2026 is for cutting out unnecessary busyness. Say “no” to activities that don’t align with your goals, ditch the unhelpful comparison game (yes, TikTok rabbit holes included), and put your energy into showing up where it counts.
