About this episode
Luis Diaz discusses how big brands use mindshare to control markets and offers a practical framework for businesses to adopt similar strategies.
If you’ve been trying to “go viral” to grow your business, you’re playing the wrong game.

First, I clarify the difference between market share and mindshare. And if you win mindshare, you start influencing buying criteria long before anyone talks to sales. Then I walk you through examples (like a16z and HubSpot) and why their content isn’t “viral”—it’s consistent. I also reveal the real secret sauce to becoming successful.
