What happens when experienced marketers get honest about where they're stuck and ask for unfiltered coaching on how to move forward? That's the premise of this episode, and the answers get uncomfortable in the best way. The questions are real, the resistance is real, and so is the pushback. What gets unpacked is a pattern that shows up again and again across marketers trying to build a fractional practice: the gap between what they're capable of and what they're willing to charge, who they're willing to walk away from, and what kind of clients they actually deserve to be working with. The episode opens with a marketer who loves startups and keeps hitting the same wall, and it doesn't let up from there.
