Ep. 72 Marketing Isn’t Broken. Your Foundations Are


Listen Later

February is our Money & Marketing Series, and this solo episode is your marketing reality check.

Aka your check in with your own marketing foundations.

If you’re posting, emailing, showing up, and still wondering why people aren’t buying — this is why.

Marketing isn’t just social media, ads, or hitting “publish” on your website. It’s how people find you, trust you, and decide to buy.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why posting more isn’t the answer

  • The most common marketing traps business owners fall into

  • Why foundations matter more than platforms

  • How to use data (not vibes) to make better marketing decisions

  • Where marketing effort quietly turns into wasted time and money

If you don’t know who you’re for, what you’re selling, or where you’re sending people, no amount of content will fix that.


This episode will help you simplify your marketing, stop copying what everyone else is doing, and start making decisions that actually lead to sales.


🎧 Next episode: I’m bringing in a marketing expert to go deeper on strategy, data, and spend.
