Have you ever wondered how big brands manage to stay on top of the game? In this episode, I’m diving into how successful brands use a unique strategy to completely dominate their markets, not through viral hits or chasing trends, but by building something more powerful: media infrastructure. These companies aren’t competing for market share in the traditional sense; they’re creating mindshare—owning the conversation and shaping what people think.

I’ll walk you through why long-form content is crucial for building this "moat" and why brands like a16z, Shopify, and HubSpot have used media to cement their authority. I also explain how you can replicate this strategy, even if you’re not a giant corporation. The goal is not just to play the game, but to control the rules.
