🎙️ Thorn City Spotlight — Live Pop-Up (Episode 001)
Systems Over Hype. Visibility That Pays.
This episode marks a milestone.
This is the very first Thorn City Spotlight pop-up on my solo mission, captured live with doors open and mics warmed — and it also marks Mr3thehardway’s first solo event as well. Two firsts. One room. One shared belief: real growth comes from systems, not slogans.
The energy is local and practical: Portland roots, boardroom mindset, and a clear plan to make visibility work.
📈 Promotion vs. Marketing (The Line Most People Miss)
Posting flyers is a reminder — not persuasion.
Marketing meets buyers already in the market, attaches a story to their need, and guides them to purchase with confidence. We break down:
🤖 Automation = Freedom
This is how we change that:
Systems. Marketplaces. Partnerships that pay when value lands.
