I build across Jewish organizations, financial services, sports, AI, and brand strategy. Every issue, the patterns showing up in all of them, and what they mean for you.
The problem is everybody's describing it like they are.
An advisor I talked to last month sells deep tech and defense work to institutions and also sells strategic consulting to founders. Those aren't the same business model. Different buyers, different price points, different sales cycles. He was describing both at once, so both came out vague.
A few weeks before that, a consultant six months out of a thirty-year corporate career. A compliance advisory practice selling to regulatory leaders inside pharma companies, and a critical thinking community with a much wider audience. Both real, both good, and she was talking about them as one offering.
Different industries, same structural mistake. Multiple business models compressed into one description. The result is language broad enough to cover everything and specific enough to sell nothing.
