Solid advice right here.
Messaging, targeting, positioning, competitors. An outside set of eyes sees what you cannot.
Why you need a marketing audit:

Ten million people have watched a comedian accidentally destroy the entire TED talk industry.
He filmed the talk once at TEDxNewYork in 2014 and openly admitted he had nothing to say.
Speaking coaches charge $5,000 to teach the exact tricks he used in 6 minutes to say nothing at all.
His name is Will Stephen. He is a comedian from Late Night with Seth Meyers who was invited to give a real TED talk and used it to prove the format is a costume anyone can wear.
Every TED speaker opens with a question, tells a personal story, cites a scientist, and shows a chart. Stephen did all four in six minutes with zero content.
His entire formula fits on a napkin.
Gesture with both hands. Ask the audience a question anyone can answer. Tell a mildly embarrassing story so they say aww. Point to a stranger on a slide and call them important. Flash a chart of random numbers. Wear glasses with no lenses. The audience will think you are brilliant.
That last trick alone has probably cost the public speaking coaching industry a hundred million dollars in sessions clients should have skipped.
"If you watched me on YouTube with the sound off, you would think I was a genius."
That is Will Stephen on the TED stage, three minutes into the talk he was paid to give. He wasn't lying.
Executives pay $15,000 for a keynote coach and still open with a joke the room never laughs at. Founders rehearse their pitch for weeks and still sound like Stephen at minute four, saying "wagga wah, gabba gabba" with authority.
The talk is free on YouTube. The method is written across every TED speaker's playbook for ten years.
Stephen still writes for Seth Meyers. Almost none of the ten million viewers have stopped nodding at empty slides since.
The formula is free. The willingness to actually say something before your next keynote, pitch, or townhall is the entire edge.

What has been happening in France is shameful. @SpeakerJohnson wrote: “France is descending into chaos because they wanted OPEN BORDERS—just like the socialist Democrats in America. What we are witnessing is a chilling warning for all Americans of what happens when the radical Marxist insurgent left gets their way.”
This is the most critical midterm election in our lifetime. America as we have known it is hanging in the balance. Every Christian needs to make it an absolute priority to vote and to pray for our nation. foxnews.com/politics/violent…

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
Way Mo traffic than normal... 😂😂
NEW: 50 empty Waymos invade Atlanta neighborhoods and circle their cul-de-sacs for hours early in the mornings.
Residents say they are getting waymo traffic than usual and have tried combating the cars with a neon green sign, which only made the problem worse.
The Waymos didn't know what to do and clogged the entire street.
"We have small animals and pets, got kids getting on the bus in the morning, and it just doesn’t feel safe to have that traffic," one resident said.
The residents say Waymo has not given them a response yet.

🚨 THE NEXT 72 HOURS. DAY BY DAY. BOOKMARK THIS.
📅 TODAY — May 13
→ Air Force One lands in Beijing with 12+ named CEOs aboard — Tesla, Nvidia, Apple, BlackRock, Boeing, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, GE, Qualcomm, Micron, Blackstone, Cargill
→ Jensen Huang boarded during the Alaska refueling stop — last-minute addition
→ Trump confirms "many other" undisclosed CEOs also on the plane
→ The largest corporate delegation ever to accompany a sitting U.S. president touches down in China
📅 MAY 14 — Day 1 of Summit
→ Trump and Xi sit down for formal talks
→ The ask: Xi opens China's market to U.S. business — directly, officially, on camera
→ 12+ of the most powerful CEOs in the world are in the room or the building
→ Combined market cap of companies represented: over $10,000,000,000,000
📅 MAY 15 — Day 2 / Outcomes
→ Deal announcements expected — or silence that speaks louder
→ Every CEO on that plane needs something specific from Beijing: chip licenses, manufacturing access, supply chain agreements, financial market entry
→ If Xi says yes to even half of it, the trade war framework changes overnight
→ If Xi says no, 12 CEOs flew to China for nothing — and markets will price that immediately
72 hours. Every step has precedent. Every prediction has math.
Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of U.S.-China relations.
The outcome of this trip will move markets more than any Fed meeting this year.
Bookmark this. Come back May 15.

🔥 Elon Musk just summed up modern slavery in one sentence:
“You work. You get taxed. You buy something. You get taxed. You own something. You get taxed again.”
It’s the loop of quiet control — a system designed to keep you compliant while the government spends your money on causes you never consented to.
Every paycheck, every purchase, every property — siphoned through layers of bureaucracy.
And what’s left? A fraction of what you earned, traded for a false sense of freedom.
Musk’s point cuts deep:
The problem isn’t just taxation — it’s how it’s weaponized.
To fund endless wars.
To bankroll wasteful projects.
To grow a government that lives off your labor while pretending to “serve” you.
It’s not public service anymore.
It’s public extraction.
Time to break the loop.

For years, the foreign policy establishment said it couldn’t be done. They wrote articles and books about the problems, but never delivered any solutions. In less than a year into his second term, @POTUS @realDonaldTrump delivered results on peace in the Middle East and other global flashpoints. I’m so proud to work for this President and the great @SecRubio in the most transformative foreign policy Presidency of my lifetime. 🙏
Sometimes we don't realize what we have...
My dear American friends,
We British Christians would get excited when, once a year, Queen Elizabeth would make a mild but sincere reference to the love of Jesus Christ in her Christmas address.
In Charlie Kirks' Memorial service, watched by tens of millions, I just heard:
- Multiple clear presentations of the gospel from men like @robmccoyus and @DrFrankTurek with clear calls to repentance and faith
- Worship songs full of Scripture sung by tens of thousands live and millions at home
- Personal testimonies of lives transformed by the work of Christ and the witness of believers
- Demonstration and explanation of the value of marriage, child-rearing and family
- Calls to Romans 13 for the government to bear the sword for the protection of good and punishment of the wicked
- Declarations of spiritual warfare on the forces of evil and promises to endure no matter the cost
- Calls to be prophets and call the nation to repent
- More Scripture references and Bible readings than I can count
- And a widow publicly forgiving her husband's killer because Christ forgave his killers on the cross.
All of it done before, and by, the most powerful people in your nation and the world.
You guys should be on your knees thanking God for your country. It is a light to the world.
Never stop fighting for it.
