If your market is crowded, ‘more content’ won’t save you, but more of you will.

In this episode, guest Stephen Mostrom and host Dorien Morin-van Dam break down what it actually means to outwrite AI as a small business: keeping your human voice, sharpening what makes you distinct, and using AI in a way that supports your thinking instead of replacing it.

Because the goal isn’t to publish faster. The goal is to be remembered—and trusted—when the buyer is comparing options.

Are you struggling to be seen and heard? THIS one’s for you!

Every single week, I tap into someone else’s audience — on purpose.

And every week, my guests tap into mine.

That’s not luck. That’s strategy.

Strategic partnerships are one of the fastest, most powerful ways to grow, ESPECIALLY if you’re a founder, consultant, or small team without a massive audience (yet).

This week on Strategy Talks, I’m bringing on someone who gets it:

Alexandra Black-Paulick; a strategist who helps brands grow by partnering smarter.

We’re breaking down:

🧡 How to access warm, trusting audiences without cold pitching

You know that feeling when you’ve posted your 4th piece of content this week…

… and all you hear is crickets?

You’re not alone, and you’re not doing it wrong. You might be missing something, though.

You need direction.

This episode of Strategy Talks features Kendra Losee, marketing strategist, visibility expert, and host of the brand new podcast 'Marketing for People Like Us', to talk about the shift smart teams are making in 2026: from reactive content to intentional strategy.

We’ll get into what to stop doing, how to lead with clarity, and why so much “good content” is quietly failing. If you’re a founder, freelancer, or part of a small marketing team, this one's for you.

Kendra Losee helps business owners stop swearing at their marketing and turn it into something that actually works.

She's spent more than two decades working with Fortune 100s, startups, agencies, and her own company. Which means she knows what moves the needle, what's worth your time, and what you can stop doing altogether.

Kendra specializes in helping business owners turn marketing that grew organically into something strategic. Her approach cuts through the 'that's just how we do it' and 'why isn't this working,' so you can get the clients you want, grow the business you envisioned, and stop second-guessing marketing decisions.
