Wisdom From Wizards #293: Redefine a market or define your brand?

We recently worked with Drew Sechrist, CEO at Connect The Dots. Here we discuss whether it is better to launch a product that redefines a market or one that defines your brand.

Drew argues that if you truly change market behavior, your brand follows. Brand is downstream of impact.

For CEOs building $1M to $5M companies, this raises a deeper question. Who inside your company is connecting the dots between market shifts, product vision, and internal culture?

In Wisdom From Wizards, I explore how culture becomes a competitive edge. The leaders who win do three things well: educate their teams with real market insight, celebrate behaviors that drive results, and evangelize wins so momentum compounds.

Redefining a market is not just a product move. It is a cultural move. When your team understands the mission and sees it reinforced daily, they build products that shift behavior, not just features.

I dive deeper into this concept of culture as a competitive advantage on page 156 of my bestselling business book Wisdom From Wizards. Check it out at:
