    Ditch the vague goals and set one bold, measurable target for your business in 2026. In this episode, I'm breaking down why a single "primary target" creates more clarity, momentum, and results than a list of intentions ever could — and how to actually aim for it.

    550: WHEN EGO RUNS THE BUSINESS (A PIZZA STORY)
    Dec 24 2025
    In this episode, a frustrating pizza experience becomes a clear business mirror – revealing how ego, overcommitting, and ignoring capacity can quietly break systems that once worked. We talk about the cost of powering through, the difference between consistency and stubbornness, and why pausing, adjusting, and choosing clarity is not failure – it's leadership.

    If your product isn't selling, it might not be the product — it might be the way you're talking about it. In this episode, I'm walking you through two real-life examples from Facebook groups where the offer sounded impressive… but totally missed the mark. We're talking clarity, friction, and what actually makes someone hit "buy" — plus the one question you have to answer if you want your offer to land. This is the business truth that turns a lukewarm product into a viral one. Let's get into it. RESOURCES MENTIONED NOTE: Some links below contain affiliate/referral links.

    547: YOU HAVE A TRAFFIC PROBLEM
    Dec 3 2025
    If your offer isn't converting, it might not be a messaging problem — it might be a traffic problem. In this episode, I'm sharing the quiet shift I'm making: focusing on daily clicks to my checkout page. Not just posting content — driving real traffic that compounds over time. If your content feels like it's not working, this one's for you. Let's talk about what actually moves the needle — and how to build for it without burning out.
