Sandy shares her experiences building the POCUS brand from scratch, balancing strategy and execution, and knowing when to ask for help.

Sandy also discusses how to measure success in early marketing, the cyclical nature of achieving product-market fit, and when to bring in additional help. She advises solo marketers to drive clarity, prioritize execution, and build a supportive community.
