Meet Sara Nay
I’m Sara Nay; small business advocate, CEO of Duct Tape Marketing, and proud daughter of legendary founder John Jantsch. For 15+ years, I’ve dedicated my career to helping entrepreneurs escape “agency chaos” and finally build marketing systems that work for real people.
My journey didn’t start at the top. I began as an intern at Duct Tape Marketing, learning every aspect of our business from the ground up. Along the way, I’ve worn nearly every hat—managing projects, building teams, mentoring marketers, and working side-by-side with business owners who wanted more than just another quick fix.
I know firsthand how overwhelming marketing can feel. I’ve lived the burnout, seen the mess behind the scenes, and experienced the frustration of trying to do it all. Those lessons and the transformations I’ve witnessed became the foundation for the playbooks and frameworks I use today.
With Unchained, I’m sharing the next evolution of small business marketing; a clear, practical roadmap built from years of hands-on work, collaboration, and real-world results. My mission is simple: give you the tools, clarity, and confidence to take back control of your marketing and your growth so you can build a business that truly supports your life.
What Readers Are Saying

Seth Godin,
Author, This is Marketing
“I had chills just minutes into reading Unchained. Sara Nay’s raw honesty is a breath of fresh air in a world full of ego-driven business books. She’s seen the marketing horror stories firsthand, and instead of posturing, she offers vulnerability, clarity, and a proven system to help small businesses take back control. It’s rare to see a woman so brilliantly take over her father’s legacy—and even rarer to find a book this good. Grab it.”
