This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who think their marketing isn't working, when the real issue may be the message underneath it.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who feel pressure to monetize every bit of attention they earn online.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who keep hearing, “We don’t have budget,” and assume their price is the problem. Most of the time, it’s not.
