Content Inc With Joe Pulizzi

In this episode, Joe breaks down the idea he shared during his MarketingProfs keynote — why creators don't need another tactic or another tool, but a focused ninety-day challenge that forces clarity, momentum, and real progress. It's called the Misogi Quarter. Joe explains where the idea came from, why creators desperately need it right now, and the simple system for choosing and completing a Misogi that actually changes your identity as a builder. What Joe Covers in This Episode 1. The MarketingProfs Moment Joe reflects on his recent keynote in Boston — a talk unlike anything he's given before — and how the concept of the Misogi resonated deeply with marketers and creators who are feeling scattered and overwhelmed. 2. What a Misogi Really Is A Misogi is traditionally the one "almost impossible" challenge you choose each year. Joe explains why creators don't need annual heroics…they need a concentrated season of focus. 3. Why a Misogi Quarter Works Creators today are overloaded with choices and distractions.
