What happens when you promote something for weeks… and no one shows up?

In this honest solo conversation, Ruthie shares the behind-the-scenes story of hosting a Marketing Mixer where not a single person came. But this isn’t about failure. It’s about visibility, vulnerability, and the courage required in expansion seasons.

If you’re an experienced founder navigating growth, launching something new, or trying to reach a new audience while balancing real life and leadership, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

You’ll hear:

• Why broadcast marketing isn’t the same as relationship-based marketing
• How avoiding direct outreach can disguise itself as “strategy”
• The real difference between demand problems and courage problems
• Why busy audiences need a longer runway
• How vulnerability strengthens authority instead of weakening it

If you’ve ever thought, “Maybe nobody cares,” this episode is your reminder: clarity and courage matter more than noise.

Listen in—and remember, you’re not building alone.

Join the next Marketing Mixer, a virtual networking event for mom founders.
