You Can't Call a CEO's Baby Ugly: The Messaging Truth Founders Avoid
Most founders never hear the truth about their own messaging, because nobody wants to tell a CEO their website is bad. Greg Rosner built a business around telling them anyway. In this episode he sits down with Maria Pienaar and Katie Whitcraft to unpack truth extraction, the magnetic messaging framework, and why your website now has to make sense to ChatGPT and Claude as much as to a human buyer. Along the way: the incognito ”naked test” for whether AI recommends you, the brand signal score, eleven AI employees with real job descriptions, and a rogue agent named Kira who ran up a $119 bill before anyone noticed.
