In Episode 07 of Is Anything Real in Paid Advertising?, we dive deep with Lea Miner, Founder of Intention & Insight, who’s building something truly different: a business rooted in resonance, not just reach.
What started as a small somatic journey experiment on Meetup grew to a thriving 600+ person community in just six months, without a dollar in ad spend.
We unpack:
- Why marketing fails when you skip the “why”
- The cost of ignoring message–market alignment
- How Lea uses AI to deepen, not dilute, authentic connection
- The rise of AI-optimized content (and why it beats SEO for real humans)
- Her bold shift from “audience-first” to “alignment-first” creation
This episode is a refreshing dose of honesty in a sea of hype. If you’ve ever felt like your marketing efforts were missing soul, or you’re trying to scale without losing your center, this is your permission slip to do things differently.
