Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Sacha Awwa — Founder of Sacha Awwa Marketing Group (SAMG) and Co-Founder of My Marketer Mentors — about entrepreneurship, small business marketing, and her mission to help business owners stop wasting money on strategies that simply don't work.

With a background in design and data-driven strategy, Sacha bridges the gap between creative marketing and measurable business growth. She understands that small business owners are often overwhelmed by complicated strategies, competing advice, and marketing promises that don't deliver results.

That decision helped inspire her work with Uncomplicate It, an approach centered on restoring clarity, building smarter marketing strategies, and helping entrepreneurs focus on what actually moves their businesses forward.

In an era shaped by artificial intelligence, information overload, and borrowed marketing strategies, Sacha believes business owners need greater clarity, not more noise. Her work emphasizes practical decision-making, creative execution, and data-informed approaches to sustainable growth.

In this conversation, we explore Sacha's entrepreneurial journey, the experiences that shaped her philosophy, the challenges small businesses face when investing in marketing, and how founders can make smarter decisions about their time, money, and growth strategies.
