Your Brand's Growth Problem Isn't What You Think It Is with Jensen Savage


Listen Later

“Everybody in your organization has to be aligned… or it all starts to break down.” — Jensen Savage


If you’ve been muscling your way through growth and wondering why it still feels so hard, this episode is for you.


Jensen Savage, founder of Savage Growth Partners, breaks down the true cause of stagnation in business: misalignment.


In this conversation, we explore why brute force can’t scale and how systematizing your customer journey can unlock powerful, sustainable growth. Jensen and Rain dig into the often-ignored “connective tissue” between marketing, sales, and operations and show how storytelling is more than messaging and communication—it’s infrastructure.


Whether you're a founder, marketer, or small business owner, this episode will help you rethink what’s actually holding you back.


In this episode, you will learn to:

  • Understand why growth stalls even when you’re doing everything “right”
  • Uncover the unseen gaps in your customer journey that silently kill momentum
  • Map your marketing to metrics that matter most for service-based businesses
  • Build systems that turn handoffs into high-performance links
  • Use story-driven alignment to unify your brand from sales to operations
