Build a Marketing Machine That Actually Works (Step-by-Step) with Jon Logan

Most business owners pour time and money into marketing, only to feel burned, confused, or frustrated by weak results. They’ve tried agencies that overpromise, ad spend that doesn’t convert, and websites that look great but don’t sell. What if your marketing could finally work—consistently, predictably, and profitably? 

In this workshop-style episode of The Better Than Rich Show, Mike Abramowitz sits down with John Logan, founder of Greenlit Growth and creator of the Marketing Machine Playbook. A former cybersecurity specialist turned StoryBrand-certified strategist, John helped one client grow from $3 million to $25 million in under three years by simplifying marketing into a clear, repeatable system. He shares how to build a marketing “machine” powered by clarity, automation, and measurable strategy—so your marketing finally drives real growth instead of guesswork.
