What the NFL Knows About Attention You Don’t
About this episode
The episode discusses how polarizing content can drive attention and growth in business, using the NFL and Super Bowl as examples.
I want to talk about something that confused a lot of people… and why it actually makes perfect business sense. A lot of creators and business owners think growth comes from playing it safe. From trying to make everyone happy. From staying neutral. That belief is costing you attention. Today, we break down a very public, very polarizing decision—and the real marketing lesson behind the Super Bowl. Not from theory. From real-world signals. If you’ve ever felt stuck… unsure what to say… or afraid of pushing people away with your content—this one will hit home. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why confusing some people can be a growth signal How big brands think about attention long before approval The hidden cost of staying “safe” with your message What happens when you finally pick who you’re for This isn’t about copying anyone. It’s about seeing growth differently.
