Do the Homework: Foundations Before Ads | Ep. 29 w/Nikhil Vaish (BoostSolo)
Agency veteran Nikhil Vaish, founder of BoostSolo, argues that most ad failures start upstream. We walk through his three-step model: Offer > Homework > Execution, show how AI can amplify both good and bad strategy, and detail a practical voice-of-customer workflow using your own sales calls.
Expect a frank conversation about niching down, pricing power, and building the right foundation so ads can finally do their job.
