535. What's Your Edge and Are You Protecting It?

Brian Gubernick poses a powerful question: What's the one thing that separates businesses that last from those that fade away? His answer? Your edge—and more importantly, your moat.

Brian breaks down the concept of a business moat: the unique, defensible advantage that protects your edge from being copied, undercut, or outperformed. Drawing on real-world examples like Oatly, Glossier, Chick-fil-A, and Traeger, he shows how successful businesses don't just create value—they make it hard to steal.

You'll walk away with key questions every entrepreneur should be asking:
- What makes your business truly different?
- What would your customers miss if you disappeared?
- And most importantly… what are you doing to deepen your moat?
- If you're serious about building something that lasts, this episode is your reminder to protect what makes you great—because in today's world, it's not enough to be good. You have to be hard to copy.
