In this episode, Orly Zeewy sits down host Lindsay Sutherland on the Online Business Launch podcast to discuss how to turn “fuzzy” messaging into marketing gold.
In a world that feels like the middle of Times Square—blasting over 250 messages at you every minute—how do you make sure your business isn’t just background noise?
Orly is a brand strategist, author, and “facilitator of lightbulb moments” who helps entrepreneurs stop the endless explanation and start closing leads. They dive deep into why 90% of startups fail, the “six-second rule” of human attention, and why you can’t read the label of the jar you’re sitting inside.
