Credibility over Clout: Books, Wine & BS-Free Marketing | Ep. 26 w/Megumi Calver (Merobebe)
Update: 2025-11-19
Description
Author credibility beats vanity metrics—and hospitality beats hacks. In this conversation, Megumi Calver explains how she helps nonfiction authors and speakers use books as credibility engines, why she built Merobebe to champion women winemakers, and the narrow moments when paid ads are worth it—after audience and offer are dialed.
You’ll learn:
- The difference between “bestseller” clout and durable credibility
- How to grow a thriving community without relying on paid ads
- Wine-world lessons for marketers: language, labels, and transparency
- A pragmatic framework for ads when budgets are tight
- Why genuine hospitality outperforms dashboards
