Using Quizzes to Create Human Connection w/ Mary Marantz

In this episode of the Interact Podcast, Josh Haynam sits down with Mary Marantz to explore how quizzes can create deeper human connection in both business and life. Mary shares the story behind her Achiever Types Quiz, including how it helps people better understand themselves, uncover hidden patterns, and gain clarity about the motivations driving their decisions. She explains why quizzes resonate so deeply with audiences and how personalized results can make people feel seen, understood, and supported.

Josh and Mary also discuss the growing demand for authenticity in a world filled with generic content and AI-generated messaging. She shares why understanding your audience’s fears, hopes, and motivations is essential for creating meaningful marketing, and how businesses can stand out by embracing their unique voice instead of following trends. They also explore perfectionism, self-worth, and the importance of building a brand rooted in genuine connection.
