The EQ Behind Clear Marketing with Josh Porter
In business, clarity is not only a marketing skill. It is an emotional intelligence skill.
In this episode of The Bliss Business Podcast, we welcome Josh Porter, Founder of Thunderwolf Consulting, a fractional CMO and go-to-market strategist who helps growth-stage AI and developer-tool companies clarify positioning, sharpen product narratives, and build strategies that accelerate adoption.
With 20 years of go-to-market experience across enterprise software and high-growth startups, including product marketing and growth leadership at Google Cloud and multiple AI scale-ups, Josh understands how difficult it can be to turn technical innovation into a story customers actually understand.
In The EQ Behind Clear Marketing, we explore:
• Why emotional intelligence matters in messaging and leadership
• How clear marketing begins with understanding the customer’s pain
• Why technical products often fail when the story is unclear
• How AI makes human judgment, empathy, and trust even more important
• Why alignment across sales, marketing, product, and leadership matters
• How leaders can build go-to-market systems that feel clear and human
