"Send me a text"Episode Description:Your customer has tried four different supplements for their problem. Every one had a solid mechanism explanation. Every one failed.

Hope is created by explaining why past mechanisms failed and identifying the missing piece that makes this time different.In this episode, we break down why familiar mechanism explanations destroy hope and how to position your supplement as addressing what every other solution missed.
