Your Host
David Esau.
The man behind
the marketing.
David Esau didn't come from marketing. He came from Esau Supply — sweeping floors, loading trucks, learning what it means to serve a customer before anyone handed him a title. That foundation is in everything he does.
After Google, he founded Click Track Data & Marketing in San Diego with one belief: that local businesses deserve the same data intelligence and revenue infrastructure that enterprise brands take for granted. Not pretty websites. Actual assets that work while you sleep — the same principles behind every AI-first website we build for local San Diego businesses.
This podcast series is the unedited version. The story you don't hear at a conference, the lessons that didn't come from a course, and the honest take on what AI is about to do to every small business in America — and why the window to act is right now.

"I didn't study marketing. I learned it by watching how Google actually works from the inside — and then I came home to San Diego to help the businesses that can't afford to guess."
