Leveling Up with Eric Siu

Eric Siu is the CEO of Single Grain, a digital marketing agency, and co-host of Marketing School with Neil Patel. Leveling Up is his solo interview show, and with over 1,200 episodes and a 4.8 rating from 299 reviews, it has quietly become one of the most substantial marketing and business podcasts available. The format is compact. Most episodes run 13 to 21 minutes, with some as short as 7 minutes. Siu interviews entrepreneurs, marketers, and business leaders, and keeps the conversations focused and fast-moving. There is no meandering small talk or 10-minute sponsor reads. You get the insights and you move on. That brevity is the show’s biggest strength. Recent episodes have leaned heavily into AI implementation, business automation, and how marketing teams are adapting to new tools. Siu is genuinely curious about these topics and asks practical questions about what is working, what is not, and what listeners should actually try. The guest list over the years includes founders of billion-dollar companies and bestselling authors alongside lesser-known operators doing interesting work. Siu brings his own experience running an agency and building businesses to every conversation, so his questions come from a place of practice rather than theory. The biweekly update schedule and short episode length make this an easy podcast to keep up with. It is the kind of show you can listen to during a coffee break and walk away with one or two ideas worth testing. If you already listen to Marketing School and want more from Siu in a longer format with deeper guest conversations, Leveling Up is the natural companion show.
