    The Transparency Tax
    Nov 12 2025
    Everyone says customers want transparency — open salaries, open supply chains, open decision-making. But when does sharing become oversharing? In this episode of Marginally Better, Joe Taylor, Jr. examines the transparency trap: how brands like Buffer and Everlane learned the hard way that revealing everything can erode trust, fuel criticism, and even cost millions. We also explore the surprising power of strategic mystery — and why the companies winning today aren’t hiding the truth, they’re choosing what not to say.Episode Links:Indeed - Why Business Transparency is ImportantWhat Consumers Really Want to Know About Your Business Things Customers Want to See on Your Local Business Website Does Transparency Benefit or Harm Your Company?ThoughtLab - The Truth About TransparencyThe Pros & Cons of Organizational TransparencyMartha Lane Fox: Transparency is Overused and It's Not an OutcomeMcKinsey - Leading Off Newsletter July 2022Everlane: Radical Transparency in FashionThe Everlane EffectTransparency Mechanisms in Ethical Consumerism Brutal Honesty in Sustainable Marketing Buffer: Where Transparency ReignsBuffer's Transparent Approach to SalariesEmbracing Pay TransparencyWhy These Companies Share Employee SalariesWhat Supply Chain Transparency Really MeansBenefits and Challenges in Supply Chain TransparencyWhy Overcompensating Supply Chains BackfiresSupply Chain Transparency PressureWhy Full Transparency is ImpossibleTransparency in Public RelationsBalancing Transparency with Client Discretion5 Ways to Balance Discretion and TransparencyThe Power of Transparency in LeadershipData Privacy and Customer ExperienceMaintaining Transparency When You Can't Share Everything Starting and Sustaining: Transparency

  • The Senior Surge Opportunity

    The Senior Surge Opportunity
    Oct 1 2025
    By 2030, all 73 million U.S. Boomers will be 65+—and they control the majority of household wealth. So why do so many products, stores, and apps ignore them? In this episode of Marginally Better, Joe Taylor, Jr. breaks down the trillion-dollar gap between who has the money and who businesses design for—spotlighting winners like Best Buy and CVS, common “youngsplaining” mistakes, and simple UX fixes that boost conversions for everyone. If you’re serious about growth, the senior surge isn’t a niche—it’s your biggest opportunity.

  • The Waiting Game Winners

    The Waiting Game Winners
    Sep 24 2025
    Americans spend 37 billion hours a year waiting—about 118 hours per person—but smart brands are turning that dead time into delight. In this episode of Marginally Better, Joe Taylor, Jr. breaks down the psychology of waiting (why underpromising and overdelivering works, why occupied time feels shorter, and why fairness matters), and shows how Disney, Trader Joe’s, Apple launch lines, and a Melbourne bakery with a 45-minute croissant queue convert waits into community, anticipation, and loyalty. If you can’t always shorten the line, you can always make it worth it—here’s how.
