Summary
Four conversations with four premium brand founders this week all traced back to the same advice from a big group coaching program: chase the angle with the most mass appeal. For a premium brand, that advice isn't a growth lever – it's a slow dismantling. In this episode, Catherine Langman unpacks why mass appeal attracts the wrong customer, trains the algorithm against you, and repels the buyer who'd happily pay full price – plus why the big programs keep giving the same advice, and the brand that runs zero sales ads on Meta on purpose and grows anyway.
