S3E43: Why Your Marketing Stopped Working (What High-Performing Founders Do Instead)

Your marketing stopped working and you don't know why. Your ads aren't converting like they used to. Your messaging feels off. You're hiring people but nothing's moving.  Welcome to 2026—where the old playbook is officially dead. In this episode, Tikis and I break down why most founders are struggling right now and what actually separates the ones who scale from the ones who don't survive. We're talking about the shift from survival mode to dialing things in. Why targeting doesn't matter anymore but your messaging matters more than ever. How AI exposes broken foundations instead of fixing them. And why if you can't sell with cold traffic, your brand isn't as strong as you think it is. If you're hitting a ceiling, burning ad spend with nothing to show for it, or wondering why what used to work doesn't work anymore—this is the conversation you need to hear.
