You're Losing Business Every Time You Explain What You Do | Steve Woodruff

What if the way you introduce yourself is actually making people less interested in what you do?

Kurt Luidhardt sits down with clarity consultant, author, and entrepreneur Steve Woodruff to explore why traditional elevator pitches fall flat and how a simple, memorable message can open the door to better conversations, referrals, and opportunities. Steve shares his Memory Dart approach, the curse of knowledge, and why trying to say too much is one of the biggest communication mistakes entrepreneurs make.

They also discuss discovering your unique identity, using clarity to make better business and career decisions, the power of words in marriage and relationships, Steve’s work with entrepreneurs, and why his focus has shifted from building his own success to helping the next generation succeed.
