What happens when a top-tier attorney thinks like a marketer?

On the latest episode of Tom's World of Marketing, I sat down with Peter Hoppenfeld — the "marketer who happens to be a lawyer" behind some of the biggest names in direct response and info marketing.

Peter has spent 40+ years helping entrepreneurs, health professionals, and thought leaders grow without crossing legal lines — and in this conversation, he breaks down what actually works.

In this episode, we cover:

Why strategy comes before lawyering

• How compliance can be a competitive advantage

• The #1 mistake professionals make when marketing their expertise

• Why trust, integrity, and clarity still outperform every new tool

• How to scale without giving away your "golden egg" (your equity)

"There's no shortcut to smart. The most effective marketing has always been the trusted advisor."

If you're a lawyer, doctor, consultant, or expert trying to grow your practice without risking your license or reputation, then this episode is a must-watch.

In the latest episode of The World of Marketing, Tom Foster sits down with Eiman Bassam, Founder & CEO of ESB Advertising, to break down how streaming TV advertising has evolved—and why lawyers and doctors can no longer afford to treat TV as a "branding-only" channel.

This conversation challenges one of the biggest assumptions in marketing: that TV can't be measured.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why programmatic streaming TV is now more measurable than traditional broadcast

• How ESB's AI platform, MACData, tracks performance down to the household level

• What actually drives ROI beyond cheap CPMs

• How AI is reshaping media buying, attribution, and even commercial creation

• Why "How did you hear about us?" is officially outdated

If you've ever questioned whether streaming TV advertising really works - or struggled to connect ad spend to real revenue - this is a conversation worth your time.
