I see this all the time — founders frustrated with their hires, marketers frustrated with their clients, and everyone pointing the finger at the other person. But most of the time, it’s actually no one’s fault.

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down:

The biggest misunderstanding around hiring marketing support
Why you’re not getting better results
The unrealistic expectations placed on one “unicorn” hire
And the industry dynamic that keeps founders investing in tactics instead of building strategy

If you’ve ever hired “marketing help” and still ended up feeling overwhelmed, unsupported, or unsure what’s actually working, this episode is for you.

And if you’re a marketer, this will help you see where unclear roles and structural gaps are setting you up for failure — even when you’re doing the best you can.
