In this episode of The Way of the Wolf, Sean Barnes sits down with entrepreneur James Rasmussen to unpack the real story behind building, scaling, and exiting a business in the oil and gas services industry. James shares how he and his brothers launched a company out of necessity, scaled revenue aggressively in the first year, and navigated the realities most entrepreneurs are never warned about, including cash flow strain, slow-paying customers, payroll pressure, and the emotional weight of being responsible for employees' livelihoods. The conversation goes deep into hard-earned lessons on saying no to customers, structuring credit, building trust with buyers, negotiating an exit without ego, and why timing can matter more than valuation. James also reflects on leadership during downturns, the impact of COVID, and what he would do differently if he were building again today. This episode is an unfiltered look at entrepreneurship, leadership, and exit planning from someone who has lived it.   Podcast Show Notes – Episode 262 | 12.30.2025 Episode Title: Why Giving Matters More Than You Think!   Key Moments 00:00 – Sean introduces James Rasmussen and why he respects his character 01:05 – The real reason James started a business: “We were tired of getting laid off.” 02:12 – Discovering a market gap: API standards and non-destructive testing 03:16 – Educating the industry and building a niche with little competition 04:53 – The bank story: asking for $80K and getting a $17K line of credit instead 06:30 – Bringing family in: James hires his mom to get the books right 07:32 – The certification grind and becoming “unstoppable” once trained 08:36 – Integrity moment: choosing people over money because his brothers use the equipment 09:41 – Six months in: ramping to $150K–$200K/month revenue 10:08 – How he scaled fast: part-time help, hiring smart, and paperwork discipline 11:25 – The cash-flow reality: customers dragging payments out to 180–190 days 12:42 – The hard skill: saying no and setting credit limits 13:33 – Sean's “worst customer” story and why cash flow is survival 14:58 – “It's a gift until they pay you.” (game-changing mindset) 16:18 – Corporate vs field tension in oil & gas—and why it hurts vendors 18:06 – Exit wasn't planned: how the opportunity “fell in their laps” 19:48 – Trust builds the deal: friendships formed before negotiation 21:23 – Negotiation: low offer vs “I want $10M” and then getting serious fast 23:32 – Why it worked: alignment, not greed, and they really wanted the people 25:17 – The hidden stress of leadership: 15 families depending on you 29:26 – Biggest lesson: buy assets to increase valuation 30:29 – Exit advice: negotiate employee contracts like your future depends on it 31:02 – Timing matters: sold in Nov 2019, COVID hit months later 33:44 – COVID layoffs + whiplash rehiring: brutal leadership reality 38:09 – Final advice: be goal-oriented, be fair, and make sure both sides win   Key Takeaways Scaling a business quickly without losing integrity Managing cash flow and receivables under pressure Why relationships matter more than leverage in an exit Leadership responsibility and the weight of payroll Lessons learned from selling at the right time   Guest: James Rasmussen LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/james-rasmussen-374847257/   Host: Sean Barnes Website: https://www.wolfexecutives.com   https://www.seanbarnes.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbarnes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfexecutives https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewayofthewolf/ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7284600567593684993/ The Wolf Leadership Series: https://wolfexecutives.com/wolf-leadership-series/ YouTube: youtube.thewayofthewolf.com Twitter: https://x.com/the_seanbarnes https://x.com/wolfexecutives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_seanbarnes https://www.instagram.com/wolfexecutives https://www.instagram.com/the_wayofthewolf TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_seanbarnes Email: Sean@thewayofthewolf.com Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Way-of-the-Wolf-Podcast/B08JJNXJ6C Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2BTGdO25Vop3GTpGCY8Y8E?si=ea91c1ef6dd14f15

Brian breaks down the most misunderstood aspect of Infinite Banking: loan repayments. Why do we pay ourselves back at market rates? What does EVA actually mean? And what happens when you pay yourself more than the insurance company charges?Most people think being their own banker means they can be loose with repayment—skip payments, pay whenever, charge themselves whatever rate feels right. You can, per the contract. But should you? This episode reveals why maintaining market-rate discipline for the full loan duration is what separates wealth builders from people who just talk about IBC. Brian explains where that "extra interest" actually goes, how to decide how much to pay against your loan, and how Parkinson's Law can destroy generational wealth before it ever gets started.Discipline is what builds legacy wealth. Without it, you're just the worst kind of bank: one with no standards, no discipline, and ultimately no capital.00:00 - Opening segment00:40 - Introduction: Why loan repayments trip people up01:30 - Policy loan mechanics: you're not withdrawing, you're borrowing02:10 - Economic Value Added (EVA): the fundamental principle03:05 - Why people go sideways: thinking interest doesn't matter03:30 - Nelson Nash's recommendation: pay market rates for full duration04:40 - What "market rates" actually means05:20 - Maintaining discipline that creates wealth06:30 - The $30K car loan example at 5% over 5 years07:25 - Where does the extra interest go when you pay yourself more?08:30 - The insurance company doesn't care what rate you calculate09:30 - Should you keep paying after the loan is satisfied early?11:00 - Where most people sabotage themselves: the early payoff trap11:30 - Parkinson's Law: expenses rise to meet income12:50 - What to do when your PUAs are maxed out14:00 - Capital deployment vs. consumption: know the difference14:20 - Parkinson's Law destroys generational wealth16:00 - The temptation to "save on interest" (you're paying yourself)17:00 - "But I can make more investing elsewhere" - the speculation trap18:10 - IBC isn't about loopholes, it's about discipline19:10 - Practical implementation: set up auto-pay, treat it like any loan19:40 - The $40K truck example: paying 7% when insurance charges 5%22:30 - Decision tree when your policy is truly maxed26:15 - Income doesn't equal wealth: the $500K pilot who's broke27:00 - The $80K family building dynastic wealth28:40 - Final recap: market rates, full duration, have a plan30:00 - EVA: every loan should create value, every payment should build30:45 - If your practitioner says rates don't matter, run31:20 - The Moody Family Creed and how it applies here31:50 - Closing thoughtsEconomic Value Added (EVA): The fundamental question: did the thing you financed produce more value than the loan cost you? Borrow at 5%, asset returns 8% = positive EVA. Borrow at 5%, thing depreciates = negative EVA.Pay Yourself Market Rates: Nelson Nash recommended paying loans back at market rates or higher— at least what you'd pay elsewhere for similar financing. This maintains the discipline that creates wealth.The Full Duration Principle: Even if you pay a loan off early by using higher interest rates, keep making those payments for the full original term. A 5-year loan means 5 years of payments to your system. The Early Payoff Trap: This is where most people sabotage themselves.

You know what to do in your business, but for some reason, you're not doing it. Sound familiar?In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by subconscious success alchemist and identity coach Mindi Huebner to dig into the real reason so many high-achievers feel stuck, burnt out, or like they're constantly self-sabotaging.Mindi explains how your subconscious beliefs are quietly calling the shots behind the scenes, and shares how to finally shift those patterns so success doesn't just look good on the outside but actually feels good on the inside. TAKEAWAYS:Your subconscious is running 95% of your day. So if you don't believe success is safe, sustainable, or aligned with your values, no strategy will stick.Limiting beliefs often stem from early childhood, societal conditioning, or “bro culture” business advice, and they show up as identity gaps that keep you playing small.You don't need to become someone new. You need to shed the old layers that no longer serve you. Growth is an evolution, not a reinvention.Mindi's simple brain rewiring hack—“From now on, in the future, next time”—is a powerful shift away from shame and toward possibility.RESOURCES:Check out the blog post for this episode, with additional details, by clicking here.Stop guessing what to say in your sales emails.

In this episode of The Independent Dealer Podcast's "How I Built This" series, we sit down with Ricky Thomas of Wildcat Used Cars in Somerset, Kentucky.

#667: Home prices have outpaced wages for more than a decade, and first-time buyers are stretching further every year. Now a new idea is entering the conversation, the 50-year mortgage. It promises lower monthly payments, yet it reshapes everything from equity growth to long-term risk. In this episode we sit down with Karsten Jeske, PhD, CFA from Early Retirement Now, a former Federal Reserve economist known for forensic financial modeling. Together we walk through when a 50-year mortgage might make sense, when it clearly does not, and why the math is rarely as simple as “higher payment versus lower payment.” We also dig into how ultra-long mortgages could push home prices even higher, and what this means for today's buyers and tomorrow's retirees. If you've wondered whether extended loan terms offer real affordability or just disguise the cost, this conversation gives you a clearer lens. Key Takeaways Why stretching to a 50-year mortgage can look affordable on paper yet leave you with far slower equity growth in the years that matter most. The few cases where a longer mortgage term can support a deliberate strategy, such as freeing cash flow to invest, and why this only works for certain borrowers. How inflation, appreciation, and opportunity cost change the “true” math behind 30-year versus 50-year loans. Why ultra-long mortgages may raise home prices more than they help buyers and what this means for generational wealth. How late-life mortgage decisions, downsizing, and step-up in basis reshape your legacy far more than the length of the loan itself.

In this week's episode, Steph delivers a fiery hot take that's been brewing all year: the dangerous trend of "pitchfork marketing" and how it's keeping brilliant women small, scared, and self-doubting.If you've ever seen successful coaches torn apart online, called "scammers" or "predatory" simply for charging premium prices, this episode will hit home. Steph breaks down how this anti-coach rhetoric has become an attention strategy that ironically does more harm than the "predators" it claims to expose.This conversation is a must-listen if you've ever thought:"Am I charging too much? What if people think I'm a scam?" "Maybe I should lower my prices so I don't upset anyone." "I don't want to end up getting canceled."Steph shares her own costly experience of shrinking back from a $80K job because she fell for this narrative, and why 2026 needs to be the year we stop telling women to stay small.______________________ Year on the Wall 2026 Traininghttp://yearonthewall.com/Free Sales Training: 3 Simple Steps to Make a Sale in 24 hours https://stephcrowder.com/sdsclass Join the Sold Out Group Programs Mastermind Waitlist https://stephcrowder.com/sogp Connect with Steph Instagram: @heystephcrowder

The crypto markets have been battered over the past several weeks with Bitcoin sinking from six-figure highs to the low-$80Ks, more than a trillion dollars wiped from crypto's total market cap and record ETF outflows shaking investor sentiment. Unlike previous drawdowns triggered by blow-ups or bad actors, this downturn is different: It's macro-driven, liquidity-driven and deeply tied to broader global markets.In this episode of Byte-Sized Insight we hear from the author of “Crypto is Macro Now,” Noelle Acheson; co-founder and CEO of LO:TECH, Tim Meggs; and author of “The Crypto Trader,” Glen Goodman, to help break down the forces behind the volatility and offer clear, grounded perspective for navigating the turbulence.(0:24) Bitcoin plunges from $120K to $80K and the market wipes out $1.2 trillion(1:08) Why this downturn feels different from past crashes(2:55) Noelle Acheson explains why the dip is “a blip” and liquidity-driven(3:52) How macro sentiment, not crypto-specific issues, is driving this correction(4:59) Why this drawdown isn't systemic like 2017 or 2022(6:03) Bitcoin dominance drops during the downturn  and why that's never happened before(7:38) Noelle breaks down “short-term noise vs. long-term debasement thesis”(10:28) Tim Meggs: Why this drawdown is slow, measured, and institution-driven(12:05) Inside the market: What liquidity providers look for during stress (13:22) Signs of stabilization and why healthy corrections matter(15:41) Glen Goodman: How institutional money changed the structure of crypto cycles(20:34) Why today's downturn lacks a narrative and why that weakens crypto rallies(23:04) Survival rules: managing leverage, mental resilience & “reduce to the sleeping point”This episode was hosted and produced by Savannah Fortis, @savannah_fortis.Follow Cointelegraph on X @Cointelegraph.Check out Cointelegraph at cointelegraph.com.If you like what you heard, rate us and leave a review!The views, thoughts and opinions expressed in this podcast are its participants alone and do not necessarily reflect or represent the views and opinions of Cointelegraph.

What does it really take to build a personal brand business from scratch? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Faith Chang from Leadership Moxie—a former Badass Empires client who went from juggling three jobs (belly dance instructor, leadership trainer, and expat career coach) to building a focused, profitable coaching business that generated over $80K in just seven months. But this isn't one of those glossy success stories. This is the real, messy, behind-the-scenes truth about what it takes to niche down when you're multi-talented, how to transition from trading time for money to building something scalable, and the gutsy decisions you have to make along the way. Faith shares the moment she fired a $35K client (yes, you read that right), how she finally chose her niche after exploring belly dancing for executives, cross-cultural coaching, and everything in between, and what it's actually like to go from undercharging to premium pricing. If you're a multi-passionate person drowning in possibilities, a hustler who can't seem to say no, or someone who's building a business while trying to protect your energy and your family—this conversation is for you.

In this episode, we explore why Bitcoin may have slipped back toward the $80K level, examining leverage washouts, ETF rotation, funding-rate resets, and how broader risk sentiment is shifting as markets reassess year-end liquidity. On the AI side, Nvidia posted another record-breaking revenue quarter, with demand for GPU compute still outpacing supply, even as Hugging Face CEO Clem Delangue warns that the real bubble sits in oversized LLMs rather than in AI as a whole, suggesting a move toward smaller, domain-specific models. We close by breaking down the latest Chart of the Week and jobs numbers, what they may signal for inflation trends, and how they may tie into both crypto and AI market momentum heading into the new year.

In this Artistry & Influencer episode of Where Brains Meet Beauty, content creators Jess Martinez (@jessstheblessed) and Kirti Tewani (@kirtitewani) share what it really looks like to build a career online while staying grounded offline.Jess calls herself an “accidental creator.” After casually posting hair videos, one went viral - 46 million views in under three weeks, while she was still working full-time in criminal justice. The sudden visibility was thrilling and disorienting, but with support and boundaries, she found a rhythm: mission-driven work by day, creativity by night. Kirti's journey began after motherhood made the long, unpredictable schedule of makeup artistry unsustainable. During the pandemic she launched a supplement brand, posted on TikTok for marketing, and unexpectedly went viral. She soon gained 80K followers in a month, then jumped from 4K to 120K on Instagram in a week.Both now navigate two worlds - the everyday one and the digital one. To stay centered, they set firm boundaries. Jess keeps work and content separate and even created a “So You Want to Start a Business” group at her agency to manage questions. Kirti refuses all family-based partnerships, keeping her kids fully offline for their safety and privacy, even when turning down major money.Their advice for creators: slow down, learn the craft, trust your intuition and stop chasing comparison. Growth does not need to be rocket-fast to be meaningful. Jess reframes consistency as a habit that builds over time. Kirti uses data to improve content without compromising her values.Their message for brands: give creators creative freedom. Kirti's community recognizes her in a simple black tank top, forcing a neon look makes the content feel less authentic. Jess rejects rigid scripts that don't sound like her voice. And both prefer opt-in PR over surprise boxes at the door.Together, they show that influence is not about going viral, it's about boundaries, integrity and building a career that feels true to who you are.If you are a creator trying to navigate your own boundaries or a brand trying to build better partnerships, this episode is full of nuance and real talk from two women who live it every day.

→ CLICK HERE to claim that free audit! Your content isn't boring. It's just not activating dopamine. I had a client go from $12K to $80K+ months. What changed? Her content started triggering dopamine, and people became obsessed. They'd binge 10-15 posts in a row, watch all her story highlights, then apply, ready to buy. No objections. Just "when can we start?" In this episode, I'm breaking down the neuroscience of why your content doesn't convert, how to trigger dopamine through anticipation loops (not curiosity loops), and the micro-commitment ladder that primes people to buy before they ever talk to you. Plus, I'll walk you through real examples from my own content that generated $360K+ in applications, and show you exactly how to audit your content right now to see if it's activating dopamine or just educating without converting. The difference between content that gets views and content that gets buyers is dopamine. If people aren't binging your content and showing up to calls pre-sold, this episode is for you.

When Dr. Kyle Hemsley opened his 170-square-foot office inside a Reno powerlifting gym right before the pandemic, few could have predicted what would come next.   In this episode, Kyle sits down with Justin to unpack his journey from renting a mold-infested room to running a 5,000-square-foot, multi-clinician performance clinic — all while growing an 80K+ social media following and redefining what success looks like as a rehab chiropractor.   You'll learn: - How Kyle built confidence to start his own practice right out of school - The social media mindset that took him from 7K to 80K followers in 6 months - The existential crisis that helped him stop caring what colleagues think - How therapy, fatherhood, and discipline shaped his business philosophy - The systems he uses to filter, qualify, and convert online followers into real patients - Why success came when he finally gave himself permission — to rest, to grow, and to lead   If you've ever felt stuck between your potential and your fear of judgment — this episode will hit home.   Ready to finally grow and scale your practice?

Points of Interest00:00 – Introduction: Marcel welcomes recurring guest Carson Pierce to the Agency Profit Podcast and introduces a new format—walking through a real, anonymized client assessment to show how Parakeeto diagnoses and solves profitability challenges.02:00 – Every Agency's Problems Are Unique but Familiar: Carson explains that while every agency's situation feels unique, most share a few core underlying problems that manifest differently based on team structure, services, and culture.03:40 – Client Background: The featured firm had around 12 staff, close to $1M in revenue, but was losing roughly $80K per year. Despite solid demand, they couldn't pinpoint the source of their declining profit.05:00 – Early Misdiagnoses and Attempts: The leadership team suspected overhead costs like health insurance and software were to blame and tried tightening internal processes, but those adjustments didn't solve the deeper financial issues.06:30 – Leadership Misalignment: With multiple co-founders holding different perspectives, the agency struggled to align on the root cause of its issues, each assuming the problem lay outside their area of expertise.10:00 – Starting the Assessment: Carson outlines Parakeeto's assessment process—benchmarking against a healthy “agency model,” ingesting financial and time data, and identifying gaps between planned and actual performance.11:50 – Payroll Red Flag: Analysis revealed that 98% of all revenue was going directly to payroll, leaving no margin for overhead or profit—a clear signal of structural imbalance.13:30 – Data Gaps and Adjustments: The team had poor time-tracking compliance and a prepaid revenue entry on the P&L that skewed results. Parakeeto corrected these to reveal a more accurate financial picture.16:30 – Root Causes Identified: The agency was top-heavy with overhead roles, under-utilized due to a bottlenecked design team, and priced below the level their delivery costs required.20:30 – Building the Roadmap: Quick wins included improving time-tracking compliance and reclassifying project management and account management as billable delivery hours. Longer-term actions included hiring a designer, raising prices 10–15%, and training PMs in scope management.25:50 – Strategic Choice: Grow, Don't Cut: Instead of downsizing, the founders chose to grow out of the constraint—adding delivery capacity to balance the team and improve utilization since demand existed.28:40 – Coaching and Next Steps: Carson explains the ongoing coaching plan—educating on data hygiene, improving utilization, then progressing to deeper ABR and project-level analysis—focusing first on leading indicators before tracking lagging outcomes.Show NotesConnect with Carson via LinkedInFree Agency ToolkitParakeeto Foundations CourseFree access to our Model PlatformLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

What if you could turn a $5K/month business into $80K/month in under a year? That’s exactly what Chan Yuenenyi did. In this episode, Jaryd Krause chats with the founder and CEO of EssayGrader AI—the world’s leading AI grading platform trusted by over 100,000 educators. When Chan bought the business, it was generating only $5,000 per month. Fast-forward less than a year later, and he’d scaled it to $80,000/month, hitting $1M in annual recurring revenue. But here’s the twist: Chan didn’t chase shiny tactics or massive ad budgets.He used precision. Systems. Deep understanding of what users actually need. Before founding EssayGrader AI, Chan managed a billion-dollar product line at OpenText. So, he knew one thing most first-time buyers miss—buying a business is easy. Growing one takes vision.

$80K worth of whipped cream stolen along with truck trailer in Canada, Kentucky woman accidentally gets body parts delivered instead of the medication she ordered, Utah farmer gave his 1991 Geo Metro a great Halloween-themed sendoff by dropping a nearly 2000 lb Pumpkin on it

Click HERE and Let's Meet! Chat with us to see if Farm Marketing Mastery can break you out of marketing misery. I used to wake up before dawn to milk cows, spend all day running kids around and doing farm work, then collapse exhausted every single night. Sunrise to sunset - and still no money left at the end of the year. If you're working that hard but there's still nothing left... I need you to stop what you're doing and listen to this episode right now. I mean it. I just got off a coaching call with a farmer who was doing ALL the right things: Amazing website. Farmers market every Saturday. School partnerships. Food pantries. Multiple product sizes. On paper, she looked like she had it figured out. But here's what was actually happening - she was stuck at $80K and couldn't break through. No matter how hard she worked. The problem wasn't that she wasn't doing enough. The problem is she was doing TOO MUCH. In this episode, you'll hear: Why selling chicken, beef, AND pork actually STOPS you from having money leftover at the end of the year The "Scatter Trap" and how it keeps farmers broke - so just know that The "Rule of One" that gets you profitable faster than anything else (most farmers get this totally wrong) The simple fix that helped farmers go from stuck to sold out Here's what changed everything: One product. One sales channel. Consistent effort in ONE direction. That's it. You'll hear the actual coaching call - the breakthroughs, the "aha" moments, the relief when this farmer realized she could let things GO and actually make money. Bottom line: You don't need to do more. You need to do LESS.

Send us a textA month after Canfranc, the dust has settled but the stories still sting—sometimes literally. We sat down with Team USA leaders Paul Kirsch and Tom Hooper to unpack a world championship defined by raw terrain, tight logistics, and athletes who found another gear when it mattered most. If you watched the medals, you saw the headlines. If you listen here, you'll hear the blueprint.We start where results are made: planning. Paul and Tom pull back the curtain on selection debates, athlete travel, hotel puzzles, kit approvals, and an aid station operation designed for seconds, not comfort. Imagine three staff crewing a dozen athletes off a single table while frost slicks the rocks, ground wasps erupt near the trail, and two bulls jog past a sunrise checkpoint. That's the reality of world-level trail—messy, improvised, and relentlessly precise.From there we dig into racing. The long and short trail routes tilted skyward and technical, but champions like Jim Walmsley and Katie Schide still rose, proving that range and resilience travel across terrain. Hillary Gerardi stepped from VK to 80K to keep the team whole. Short trail newcomers like Jane and Ruby showed composure well beyond their caps. The vertical and classic squads highlighted rising stars—Anna Gibson, Cam Smith—and real team tactics, with athletes working together late to lock in points, cross-country style. Meanwhile, U20 athletes arrived with true mountain chops, signaling a pipeline ready to meet a deeper, more global field that now includes full squads from Uganda and Kenya and breakthrough team medals from nations like Canada.We also talk about the gap that still holds the sport back: brand buy-in. Many athletes earn no bonuses for worlds and must choose between country and paycheck. With more sponsor support—following models we already see in track and the Olympics—world championships could become the premier stage they deserve to be. South Africa is next, and with the right mix of citizen races, media, and partners, the scene could match the spectacle.Hit play for a candid, inside look at how Team USA turned chaos into podiums and why the future of mountain and trail running has never looked brighter.

How much passive income would you need to retire early? $60K/year? $80K/year? $100K/year? What if you could build a financially freeing passive income stream in just five years? Five years from now, you could retire early, quit your job, or keep building wealth. What would that freedom feel like? Joe Hammel has already achieved it, using a simplistic, beginner-friendly “bread and butter” rental strategy. Today, he's generating $115,000/year in pure cash flow from his rentals, just five years after buying his first rental. In this episode, Joe shares exactly how he grew his six-figure passive income stream and the exact blueprint you can use to replicate it. Joe invests in a market that real estate investors used to laugh at—Detroit. However, the tables are now turning, as Detroit continues to see solid appreciation, cash flow, and affordable prices. Joe buys houses for $100,000 (yes, even today), often using the “slow BRRRR strategy”, and rents them out for well above his costs. He says out-of-state investors can do this easily as well, and he has helped dozens repeat his system.  This could be your path to achieving financial freedom in under a decade, just like Joe! In This Episode We Cover The “bread and butter” rentals beginners can buy to build passive income streams Why Joe says Detroit is such a solid real estate investing market (especially now) Using the “slow BRRRR” method to build wealth faster and increase your equity  The best rental property types to target (for beginner investors, especially!) How to invest in affordable markets even if you live hours away  And So Much More!

Jamie I.F. talks about what it was like losing $80K a month in affiliate revenue, rebuilding from the ground up, and what keyword research really looks like in the age of AI. He is a former affiliate SEO who once scaled to $80,000 per month before the HCU update brought that down to nearly zero. Now, Jamie focuses on building software for SEOs and other niches. One of his tools, Answer Socrates, helps bloggers generate thousands of topic ideas and cluster them into organized groups so they can focus on the fun part: writing. By leveraging SEO, Jamie has grown the tool to over 100K monthly users and has also found creative ways to drive traffic through platforms like Reddit. Jamie shares the wild ride from skyrocketing affiliate earnings to starting over after Google's updates. He teaches us how to approach keyword research differently in the AI era, how Reddit is reshaping SEO, and why feelings, not just facts, win traffic today. Key points discussed include: Affiliate highs and lows: One decision brought in $80K a month, but it all disappeared overnight, showing how fragile affiliate-heavy models have become in today's SEO world. Products over pure info: Relying only on informational content is riskier than ever, but turning expertise into products can safeguard your business from AI scrapers and shifting algorithms. Keyword depth wins: Ranking for just one keyword is no longer enough, and covering a range of related subtopics builds the topical authority needed to compete. Clustering made simple: Grouping hundreds of keywords into meaningful clusters makes it easier to plan content strategically without drowning in data. AI overviews explained: Google and ChatGPT pull from multiple sources, and structuring content clearly increases the chances of being featured in those summaries. Reddit power: Reddit now dominates search results, and thoughtful participation can drive traffic, spark PR coverage, and strengthen brand visibility. Make people feel: Optimization helps, but content that stirs emotion keeps readers engaged and loyal even when AI-generated summaries crowd the search results. Connect with Jamie I.F. Website
