  • 368: You Don't Need Virality: Building Strategic Visibility For Established Brands
    Nov 19 2025

    Join the Growth Letter for weekly strategic perspectives on sustainable business growth - https://www.darrellevans.net/subscribe

    In this episode, I challenge the 'post everywhere, be everywhere' advice that's burning out established founders.

    After 14 years working with businesses generating millions in revenue, I've noticed a pattern: volume-based visibility exhausts your team and produces diminishing returns.

    The real constraint isn't activity, it's clarity.

    I break down the three components of message clarity (positioning, language, and beliefs) that allow your message to compound instead of starting from zero every single day.

    I share a case study of a founder who despises social media and has never posted once, yet his brand presence is felt across every marketing touchpoint.

    If you're tired of being the bottleneck in your own marketing, this episode reveals the strategic shift that scales your message without requiring more of you.

  • 367: Founders Who Hate To Create Content Should Do This Instead.
    Nov 12 2025

    Join the Growth Letter for weekly strategic perspectives on sustainable business growth - https://www.darrellevans.net/subscribe

    Most founders at your level don't want to be content creators. You didn't build a multi-million dollar business to perform for algorithms.

    But here's the pattern I see consistently: your expertise, the frameworks, distinctions, and beliefs that made you successful, lives primarily in your head. And as long as it stays there, your business has a scaling problem.

    In this episode, you'll discover:

    • Why your team defers to you on strategic decisions (it's not a delegation problem)
    • The difference between performance and extraction (and why one creates burnout while the other creates scale)
    • The three layers of expertise your team needs to operate at your level
    • How to capture your strategic thinking without becoming a content creator
    • Why traditional "build your personal brand" advice misses the mark for established founders

  • 366: The Founder Bottleneck: Why Your Team Still Asks "What Would You Do?"
    Nov 5 2025

    Join the Growth Letter for weekly strategic perspectives on sustainable business growth - https://www.darrellevans.net/subscribe

    You've built something significant, millions in revenue, solid team, strong reputation.

    But here's what I've consistently seen over 34 years as an entrepreneur: clients still ask for you specifically.

    Your team defers strategic decisions back to you. Partners expect you at every important meeting.

    Feels like a compliment, right? It's actually a structural constraint killing your growth.

    And no, hiring better people, building more processes, or doing more marketing won't fix it. The problem isn't what most founders think.

    In this episode, I reveal why your presence has become the bottleneck, and introduce a framework that transforms your voice from an activity into a scalable asset.

  • 365: The 10 Principles That Make Marketing Work (Most Businesses Miss #3)
    Oct 29 2025

    Join the Growth Letter for weekly strategic perspectives on sustainable business growth - https://www.darrellevans.net/subscribe

    In this episode, I break down the 10 words that sit underneath every successful marketing campaign we've ever run - the kind that generated over $300 million in revenue for our clients over 14 years.

    These aren't buzzwords or the latest tactics everyone's chasing.

    They're timeless principles that don't change when algorithms shift or platforms die.

    You probably already know these words.

    The problem? Most businesses don't understand how to actually use them, which is why their marketing keeps failing despite throwing money at it.

    I walk through each one with real examples from hundreds of campaigns.

    If you're tired of tactics that work for five minutes then stop, this episode reveals the foundation that makes everything else work better.

    Want help to market, grow, and scale your business? Schedule a free strategy session.

    In this episode, I'm calling out the 12 false beliefs that have held back most of the clients we've worked with over the last 15 years, beliefs that are costing you real revenue right now.

    After helping companies generate well over $300M, here's what I've learned: the toughest part of what we fix isn't the tactics or the technology, it's the belief systems of founders, CEOs, and heads of marketing.

    I break down why "I need more leads" is usually the wrong diagnosis, why you can't just outsource your growth and disappear, and why waiting to figure out AI is a massive mistake in 2025.

    With everything changing at breakneck speed, ChatGPT's new browser, AI overviews transforming search, social media becoming interest media, you can't afford to let these false beliefs keep you stuck.

    This isn't motivational fluff; these are the exact mindset shifts that separate companies that scale from those that stagnate.
