The MindShift Podcast with Darrell Evans
The MindShift Podcast is for business owners, founders, and CEOs who want marketing that actually drives sales.
Hosted by Darrell Evans — 34-year entrepreneur, business growth strategist, and Founder/CEO of MindShift Digital.
This show breaks down how strategy, execution, and accountability work together to produce consistent leads and revenue in today’s AI-driven marketing landscape.
Drawing from work with companies generating $1M to $100M+ in annual revenue and over $300M in client revenue produced, Darrell shares practical insights on digital marketing strategy, AI integration, demand generation, SEO, paid media, conversion optimization, and scalable growth systems.

In this episode, I walk through a situation I’m seeing more often, companies doing everything “right” with their marketing yet watching their cost to acquire customers climb anyway.
I break down a conversation with a $5M service business spending over $70K a month on Google Ads and show why their top-performing channel suddenly became the bottleneck.
More importantly, I unpack the subtle shifts in buyer behavior and the overlooked gold sitting inside their own CRM.
If your ad spend keeps rising but growth feels stuck, this episode will help you see what’s really happening and where the next level actually comes from.
