Most leaders believe they have a marketing problem.
In reality, they have a clarity problem.
In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, Mason Duchatschek breaks down why unclear positioning quietly destroys authority, trust, and pricing power, even in well run businesses. If your company struggles to stand out, explain its value, or command premium pricing, this conversation will change how you think about branding and leadership.
Mason is joined by Luna Battalia, a branding and positioning expert who helps leaders clarify their message and differentiate in competitive markets. Together, they explore why visibility is not the same as authority, how vague messaging forces the market to define your brand for you, and why strong leaders declare their positioning instead of explaining it.
This conversation goes beyond logos, taglines, and design. It focuses on brand clarity as a leadership decision that directly impacts growth, influence, and long term relevance.
