Ever felt like you're constantly hustling but still not getting the traction you want? Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.

In this episode, I join Alex Sanfilippo, founder of PodMatch, for a raw and real conversation about finding clarity in your business, podcast, and content strategy.

Too often, we get caught in the hamster wheel of "more." More followers. More downloads. More visibility. But what if true success isn’t about more—but about being clear on who you serve and how you show up?

Alex and I break it down in a simple 4-part framework:

✔️ Internal Clarity – Knowing what you want and why.

✔️ External Clarity – Clearly identifying who you serve.

✔️ Projected Clarity – Communicating your message the right way.

✔️ Perceived Clarity – Making sure others see you the way you want to be seen.

Along the way, we drop hard-earned lessons, real-life struggles (hello, podcast rankings obsession!), and practical steps to simplify your strategy, avoid burnout, and grow with purpose.

Whether you're a business owner, podcaster, or content creator, this episode will challenge you to get clear on what really matters—so you can ditch the overwhelm and focus on what actually moves the needle.
