What's the difference between "niching down" and choosing a vertical? And why does it matter for your business growth? In this strategy-packed episode, Lindsay sits down with Jason Fishman, founder of Digital Niche Agency (DNA), to break down exactly how vertical specialization transformed his business—and how you can do the same.

Jason's journey started like most entrepreneurs: he was a generalist agency taking on anyone and everyone—apparel brands, automotive dealerships, retail stores, you name it. But being "one of a thousand marketing agencies" in Los Angeles meant competing with everyone for everything. The breakthrough came when he identified a hyper-specific demand: helping growth-stage companies raise capital through investor acquisition campaigns (Regulation D, CF, and A+ offerings). By focusing exclusively on this vertical, Jason went from scrappy generalist to industry-dominating specialist—having now worked on over 500 campaigns that collectively raised nine figures in capital.

In this episode, Jason unpacks the exact 6-step process he used to pivot:

1. Establish demand – Listen to what clients keep asking for (not what you think they need)
2. Clarify your value – Identify where you solve a real, urgent problem
3. Structure your formula – Build repeatable systems that prove ROI
4. Focus on positioning – Become the thought leader in your space (podcasts, webinars, conferences)
5. Build strategic partnerships – Collaborate with competitors (yes, really)
6. Advertise with precision – Market to the exact people who need you most
