    Why Most Leaders Think They Have a Marketing Problem When They Actually Have a Clarity Problem

    Most business leaders believe they have a marketing problem. In reality, they have a clarity problem. In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, Mason Duchatschek sits down with branding and positioning expert Luna Battalia to explore why so many capable business owners, CEOs, and executives struggle to clearly articulate what makes them different and why that lack of clarity quietly erodes authority, trust, and pricing power. This conversation goes beyond logos, taglines, and visual identity. Luna explains how unclear brand messaging forces the market to make decisions on your behalf, why visibility is not the same as authority, and how strong leaders declare their positioning rather than explain it. They discuss why brand clarity is not a marketing exercise, but a leadership decision that directly impacts growth, differentiation, and influence. This episode is packed with practical insights for business owners and executives who want clearer positioning, stronger leadership presence, and messaging that accurately reflects their value in competitive markets. Topics Covered • Why most leaders mistake branding problems for marketing problems • The real cost of unclear positioning and generic messaging • Visibility versus authority and why the difference matters • Why strong leaders declare their brand instead of explaining it • How clarity increases trust, influence, and pricing power • Branding as a strategic leadership decision, not a design exercise About The Mason Duchatschek Show The Mason Duchatschek Show features in-depth conversations with business leaders, authors, and thinkers who challenge conventional wisdom around leadership, culture, performance, and growth. The goal is simple. Deliver ideas, strategies, and insights leaders can actually use.
