Description

You can have the best brand photos, clever copy, a funnel that converts - but if your product or service doesn’t deliver real value, it won’t last.

In this episode of The Essential Shift Podcast, I’m exploring a truth that doesn’t get said enough: marketing is only as good as the offer behind it. 

And while many business coaches are really marketing coaches in disguise, I want to take you deeper. I want to show you how to create a product or service so good, it almost markets itself.

We’re diving into the 10 Types of Innovation framework - a powerful tool I use with my clients to help them design meaningful, magnetic offers. Because when your product is innovative, useful, and designed with intention? The marketing becomes a bonus, not a lifeline.
