What if the key to standing out wasn’t about doing things better than your competitors, but about focusing on what they’re not doing at all? 

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story from my college swimming days where trying too hard to beat the competition led me to make a costly mistake—and a crucial lesson in marketing strategy.

You’ll hear about reverse benchmarking, a concept from U.K. marketer Rory Sutherland, and how it helped one restaurant redefine their service by focusing on what others were neglecting. Instead of copying what others were doing best, they leaned into what wasn’t being done—and turned it into their competitive advantage.

I’ll also share how I’ve applied this strategy to Mic Drop Moments, my video marketing service, to serve clients who are being underserved by the market. This approach has allowed me to carve out a unique space in a crowded industry and help clients get visible without competing on the same tired strategies.

So if you’re tired of following the herd and want a more strategic way to stand out, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on how to rethink your approach and make your competition irrelevant.
