Your positioning problem isn’t that customers don’t understand you. It’s that you’re giving them too much to understand.


Most teams think the solution is “more messaging,” “more value props,” and “more use cases.” But Al Ries and Jack Trout proved the opposite: the brain rejects complexity. Customers only carry around four pieces of information at a time, and anything beyond that gets deleted.


In this episode, I break down why brands like Ferrari dominate while others drown in their own messaging, and why the companies that scale fastest are the ones that simplify the most. You’ll learn the three positioning principles behind every category leader: radical simplicity, customer-anchored truth, and consistency that compounds.


More importantly, I’ll show you why competing head-on with the leader is usually the slowest path to growth, and how the real leverage comes from claiming a niche the leader doesn’t see coming.
