I studied in psychology in college, but being a shrink wasn’t for me.

So I became a marketer instead.

After a decade of working with nearly every type of business, I noticed a pattern…

Most of their problems weren't about marketing.

They were about positioning.

→ Slow growth
→ Hiring struggles
→ Price sensitivity
→ Investor skepticism
→ High customer churn
→ Low conversion rates
→ No real differentiation

Every single one of these stems from poor positioning.

Once I saw that, I couldn't unsee it.

So, I made the leap from marketing to branding.

I interviewed at every branding agency I could find.

But they all said the same thing: "You don’t have the right experience." 

So, I said screw it—and started my own.

Since then, I’ve built that agency into a multi-million-dollar business, spoken to thousands about the power of branding, and written for publications like Forbes, Inc., and Entrepreneur. 

Here's what I've learned: 

A better business starts with better positioning.

And improving your positioning? It's easier than you think.

You don’t need a huge budget. 

You don't need an MBA.

You simply need the right framework—and a little guidance.
