I’m back on the mic with Liz Scully for my third guest appearance on the Biz Book Broadcast—and this time, we dove into a topic that’s music to my marketing-loving ears: Lean Marketing: More Leads, More Profit, Less Marketing by Allan Dib.
Liz and I unpacked the book’s straight-shooting approach to marketing strategy, and spoiler alert: it’s a gem. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to “do all the things,” this book—and this episode—is for you.
We also talked about how Lean Marketing picks up where The -1Page Marketing Plan leaves off. That book gives you the plan, but this one gives you the process. Think less stress, more traction.

Final Sip
This third visit to the Biz Book Broadcast felt like a coffee chat with clarity. Lean Marketing cuts through the noise and shows you how to market smart, not hard. It’s the kind of book that meets you where you are—especially if you’re juggling all the hats in your solo business.
If you’re serious about marketing that moves the needle without burning you out, go grab the book. And of course, catch my earlier episodes for more ways to build lasting connections with your clients, colleagues, and community.
Stay groovy,
