Send us a textFew people have witnessed global security challenges from as many perspectives as Chris Brewer. In this riveting conversation, the veteran Ranger Battalion NCO and Special Forces Officer pulls back the curtain on covert operations and international security work spanning decades and continents.Brewer's extraordinary career trajectory took him from the elite Ranger Battalion formed in 1974 to the Department of State's Office of Security Assistance, then into the most dangerous regions of Afghanistan, the UAE, and Nigeria. With remarkable candor, he shares experiences that shaped modern security practices while revealing the human side of high-stakes operations.The heart of this episode lies in Brewer's previously classified stories, now cleared for public discussion through his books. His encounter with Pablo Escobar's forces while protecting a radar installation in Colombia reads like a thriller but happened in real life. Equally compelling is his account of Operation Promote Liberty in Panama, where his team served as a "tripwire" against Noriega loyalists planning a coup—a mission that never made headlines.Brewer's perspective on the Afghanistan withdrawal provides powerful insights into the personal impact on veterans who worked closely with Afghan partners. His description of frantically helping colleagues escape Taliban forces reveals the ongoing commitment many veterans feel toward those left behind.For anyone interested in military history, international affairs, or security operations, Brewer's books "Old Scroll Ranger" and "In the Shadows Between Wars" offer rare firsthand accounts of operations that shaped global security. These aren't just war stories—they're lessons in adaptability, quick thinking, and cross-cultural understanding from places few Americans will ever see.Have you read accounts from operators who worked in the shadows between major conflicts? Share your thoughts on how these untold stories shape our understanding of global security challenges.Want to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?

The Hunt Quietly team conducted in-depth research into NWTF over the last several months.  This research uncovered widespread problems with their reporting.  NWTF grossly overreports the acres they conserve and the dollars they devote to their mission.   Evan Curtin, Nick Buckley, and Matt Rinella explain all of this and try to determine if these problems stem from corruption, incompetence, or both.  Hunt Quietly recommends against donating to organizations that do hunter recruitment, and NWTF does lots of that.  And in the case of NWTF, there are many additional reasons for Americans to spend their precious conservation dollars elsewhere.  A sincere thanks to David Fontenot, Chris Brewer, and Thomas Doyle for assisting  with research for this episode.

Do you want to level up leadership in your agency and empower your team? Providing resources and training to your leadership team is important in helping build their confidence and creating a trickle-down effect to the rest of the team. Today's guest believes it all starts with the hiring process and creating an agency that is desirable to work for. He is on the show sharing how he and his agency business partner maintain a balanced relationship that benefits the agency and how they've created an agency that is in high demand not only by clients but by protective employees as well. Brett Curry is the CEO of OMG Commerce, a performance marketing agency that manages YouTube, Google, and Amazon campaigns for growing ecommerce brands. They're a Google Premiere partner and Amazon partner. Brett is also the host of two ecommerce podcasts Spicy Curry and Ecommerce Evolution, where he highlights what's new and coming in e-commerce. In this episode, we'll discuss: Creating balance with your agency business partner. Cultivating leadership and empowering your team. 2-step strategy taking e-commerce brands to the next level.   Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Stitcher | Radio FM Sponsors and Resources Would you like to convert more prospects into clients, charge what you're worth, and maximize profits?

Head over toAgencyMastery360.com/covert Listen to our Smart Agency podcast episode with Chris Brewer, OMG Commerce where he shares 4 major agency sales mistakes and the systems you need to sales success.   Pivoting Away from the Full-Service Agency Model For as long as he can remember, Brett has been captivated by the world of advertising and marketing. Even while on vacation, he can be found diving into the latest marketing books and publications. His passion was sparked early on when he discovered direct-response marketing gurus like J. Abrahams and Dan Kennedy in his teens. Though the mediums may have changed over the years, as an agency owner he has maintained that intrinsic drive to understand what makes great marketing. Brett and his partner first started the agency in 2010. By then, he had a successful career in marketing and owned a company focused on print, TV, radio, and direct mail. The agency started a project to try their luck with online advertising. They started with local Google map optimization for businesses and was a hit right away. With time, they started doing website design, copywriting, and TV advertising. However, it quickly became too much and they pivoted away from that full-service model. It was time to drop some services and focus exclusively on an area where they truly shined. The clear answer was search marketing. It combined all the things they were really good at as a team, so they went all in. Right away they formed some key partnerships and started working with ecommerce clients. Creating Balance with Your Agency Business Partner Starting out, both Brett and his partner had existing businesses to lead, so balancing the agency became a challenge. How could they each utilize their skill sets and still work as a team? They share the most important value which is their trust in marketing and leadership style. When it comes to their individual strengths, Brett is really good at pitches and leading teams while his partner loves everything about the sales process and is very good about following up. This is how they complement each other and divide the workload. For agency owners with co-founders, Brett recommends having very clear expectations about what each one brings to the table. It's good to have this in writing from the beginning instead of figuring it out along the road. In fact, this is something they still revisit 16 years later when they talk about how their roles need to shift every couple of years as the agency grows. The most important thing is having a good understanding of each partner's personality and areas of genius. Get clear about how you'll work together and which decisions you can make individually and which must include all partners. Cultivating Agency Leadership and Building a Great Team For Brett, everything rises and falls on good leadership. To ensure he's creating the best conditions to build great team leaders, he leads a monthly leadership development training open to everyone in the agency. He's a big believer in providing the right resources and training to empower people to make decisions. This is the fastest way to prevent a bottleneck where every decision has to be run by you. Having good leaders working alongside you ensures they can make decisions. It's not easy to do for agency owners. We love to solve problems! But you need to show people you trust them to make decisions. Finding and training great leaders starts with the hiring process. Brett is proud of his agency's process and the type of people their culture attracts. They've had some disastrous experiences with past hires, which have mostly traced back to hiring friends of friends. They've since learned a lot from their mistakes and made great key hires who have been with the agency for a long time. How to attract the right people to your agency team. Brett loves podcasting and speaking at events and admits he would do it just for fun. However, he says a really cool benefit of having a podcast and being a regular speaker at industry events is not only attracting clients but also attracting employees, too. 2-Step Strategy to Take eCommerce Brands to the Next Level Brett declares YouTube as one of the fastest-growing and most used platforms by younger generations. If you want to learn or research something, YouTube is the place to go. It has reach and targetability so you can be really specific about what you want to reach. As opposed to other platforms where the video is just doing part of the work, on YouTube the video is everything. YouTube videos must interrupt, grab attention, overcome objections, demonstrate the product, get the viewer to take action, and have the right pacing. Furthermore, it's important to understand video ad campaign structure to identify how to bid, measure, and look at things to get the most out of your video. It's not enough to measure direct conversions. Many people watch an ad and then go to Amazon rather than click through and purchase directly. Owned by Google, YouTube holds all the search behavioral data you need. They've been collecting the data for decades and you can tap into that keyword search behavior and target people based on that. Build your audience based on what people search on Google so they'll see your ad. YouTube really understands audiences and creatives. Brett has witnessed many shifts in the marketing game over the years. However, he still thinks email remains as powerful as ever. It's a good way to warm someone up to your brand and cultivate them into a great client before they buy. Once they do buy, it's also a great way to get them ready to get the most out of the product. It basically facilitates repeat purchases and product launch sequences. Put them together for a strategy that takes brands to the next level. YouTube ads are a great way to get people introduced to a product and send them to a landing page to opt-in to an email list. Then, use email to close the deal. In fact, in Brett's opinion, a direct-to-consumer e-commerce brand email should be responsible for 30% to 45% of revenue. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Are you guilty of making one of the biggest agency sales mistakes? Do you rely too much on referrals? Do you have three channels working to find new prospects and fill your pipeline? Without this, you're always playing catch-up leaving no time for working on growth. A lack of systems hinders your agency's growth by keeping the owner tied to daily operations. As today's guest learned the hard way, you can't rely too much on any one specific channel of lead generation. He shares the lessons he learned on maintaining a balance and working hard to set up the different channels to secure new leads. He also recalls the pitfalls and mistakes made as well as the ways he learned to set up his agency sales team for success. Chris Brewer is the cofounder of OMG Commerce, a digital agency that's highly experienced in crafting Google search ads designed to target traffic that converts. Their team is really connected to the Google ecosystem and knows what's new and noteworthy, what's tested, and what's not quite ready for primetime. In this interview, we'll discuss: 4 biggest sales mistakes growing your digital agency 3 systems to setup for agency sales success.

In 2009, after selling his business and feeling miserable about it, Chris attended the Dan Kennedy Super Conference in Dallas. This conference was a great place to network and Chris actually left with a pretty good idea for a new business he later presented to Brett. They started selling Google Maps optimizations to local businesses. That first year they sold $30K worth of optimizations. This allowed them to pivot to other areas which provided opportunities for repeat business. They turned their Google Maps model into SEO and PPC and continued to grow their agency in other service areas. Their most recent focus is on eCommerce. 4 Sales Mistakes to Avoid When Growing Your Digital Agency  With such a long history in the business, Chris is embarrassed to admit it was only eight years ago he realized he needed to get out of sales. Now he shares mistakes made while growing his agency: Not focusing on outbound. When the agency was growing, it seemed there was no need to focus on outbound. However, there came a time when the inbound pipeline dried up and they scrambled to hire for outbound sales. This is reactionary and, as Chris says, “hindsight's always wonderful in agency land.” Jason recommends a 3-channel approach to lead generation: inbound, outbound, and a strategic partnership. Relying on referrals. Chris and his partner worked hard to establish themselves as a reliable and trustworthy partner. With that kind of reputation, other agencies felt comfortable sending them referrals. However, if most of your strategic partners are other agencies, they'll hold onto business when things get slow for them. Conferences and events. Before the pandemic, conferences were the place to network since all the big brands were usually there. As we've seen, things change quickly so it's important not to rely heavily on events you haveno control over. Lead gen companies. They turned to the many emails they regularly got from lead gen companies coming after their agency. In the end, however, the ones they chose didn't play out too well. It was a disappointing experience, but he still believes in outbound. 3 Systems to Set Up Your Agency Sales Team's Success By now, Chris has figured out what he does best and the value he brings to the agency. At some point, he felt he wanted to share the spotlight and get approval. More recently, he decided he wanted to step back and do what he does best, which is relationships and connecting with people in a non-sales way. An owner always sells better than an outside hire. There are various reasons for this, but Chris thinks it starts with compensation. An owner will just step into a conversation and make sure they're getting the right kind of clients. They're in no rush to meet a sales quota or specific commission, so they can properly separate prospects from suspects. Additionally, they have a high degree of credibility and trust which helps put people at ease. There are certain things an owner can teach their team to attract and covert clients: Agency-specific experience isn't necessary; nuances of the agency business and service offering can be learned. Your sales team can navigate sales calls when you prepare them with responses to the common sales objections. Pass along success stories accumulated from the years of being an agency owner in order to share with future prospects. It's an integral piece to making prospects feel like they're in a conversation rather than being sold. Once you set up these systems to tackle the challenges of training an effective sales team, they won't even need you anymore. What is the Worst and Best Day in an Agency Owner's Life? The day they can finally exit day-to-day operations is the best and worst day for an agency owner. You walk around realizing your team doesn't need you and can handle things on their own. It's the best day because now your business is scalable; and the worst day, short-term, until you realize the agency still needs you in a different way. Maybe you don't want to exit and maybe you do, but it's important to have the choice. Also, it's something you'll need to do even if you want to take a vacation. Has it been years since the last time you took even two weeks off? Do you think the business will come crashing down if you're not there to put out the fires? Something's probably wrong if that's the case. Be more productive in the things that'll move you forward Most entrepreneurs can relate to the feeling of having so many ideas you end up all over the place. Chris says that's how he's made money but he also admits this also makes him his own worst enemy. If you're trying to focus on certain projects, Chris recommends not making any big changes all at once. Start with one thing and give it some time to see if it works. Also, figure out your why before you start. Have a clear reason why this new thing you're working on is important to you and then find an accountability partner. If you're planning to try time-blocking, you need someone to keep you accountable for that and attach a personal or financial penalty. For instance, when Chris was writing a book, he told his wife he'd put $500 in her account if he didn't get up at 7:00 AM to work on it.

All Parties Are Proven Innocent Until Proven Guilty In A Court Of Law. News Article By Alyssa Williams Published: May. 7, 2023 at 6:23 PM EDT WYMT Mountain News Weekend Edition newscast at 6 p.m. on Sunday. HARLAN COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT) - The family of Harlan County native Mike Lamb is continuing to search for answers following his disappearance last year. It was March of 2022 when Lamb, 53, vanished from the Evarts community. Lamb's family said he walked outside the home he shared with his brother to go to his neighbor's house, but he never made it there. I mean, he left his phone and his wallet and everything like that, and my brother that is disabled, he also took care of, and he had left him there so I know he hadn't planned on being gone for long,” said Lamb's sister, Chasity Lamb. Once Lamb was declared missing, his family hit the ground running with the search for him. ”We went actually just everywhere. We went to the different places that we thought he could have been,” said Lamb's cousin, Janice Brewer. “We went searching the river banks to make sure he hadn't fell off the side of the road or anything. We searched the ditches. We searched everywhere.” More than one year later, the search for answers continues. ”We urge everybody that if you hear anything at all, no matter how crazy it sounds, to tell one of us or the sheriff's office so we can check into it,” said Lamb's son, Aaron Lamb. “It might sound off the wall and crazy, but it could have some truth to it, and that one little piece of information could very well be what leads us to finding my dad.” Although the family said this search has been difficult, they continue to hold hope that justice will be served for Lamb. “Whatever happened, he didn't deserve it,” said Aaron Lamb. “We know for sure he doesn't deserve to be laying up on the mountain somewhere or something. He deserves to be brought home.” In a statement to WYMT, Harlan County Sheriff Chris Brewer said his department's efforts in the search for Lamb are also continuing. The Mike Lamb case remains open as a missing persons case with foul play involved. There isn't a lot we can comment on due to the case remaining active but the Harlan County Sheriff's Office is still following any and all leads. I spoke with Mr. Lambs family not long after I was sworn in as Sheriff and informed them that we would continue on with the investigation and do everything in our power to bring justice and closure to the family. We are currently following new leads but also revisiting old leads to ensure we are doing everything possible to find Mr. Lamb and the ones responsible for his disappearance. In the meantime, Mr. Lamb's family remains in my prayers because I could not imagine the nightmare they are living. I ask anyone that if you have any information to please do the right thing and contact the Harlan County Sheriff's Office. Chris Brewer, Harlan County Sheriff Lamb's family said they are grateful for Sheriff Brewer's dedication to finding Lamb. They added they plan to host a large search party in the future. #mikelamb #where #walkededaway #kentucky #wymt #Summerwells #murder #coldcase #grizzlyonthehunt #unsolved #police #fbi #forensics #water #shallowgrave #missing #missingperson #kidnapoed #raped #stabbed #tied #body #buried localpolice #news #media #detectives #hotline #tips #sheriffs #deputy#deputies #drugs #narcotics #sex #dumpster #hotel #needle #heroin #prostitution #Xanax #pills #lost @TrueCrime @CrimeNews @CriminalJustice @kentucky @grizzlyonthehunt @HomicideCases @MurderMystery @CrimeSceneInvestigation @ForensicScience @ColdCase @CrimeDocumentary @SerialKiller @JusticeSystem @Criminology @CrimePrevention @LawEnforcement @VictimAdvocacy @CriminalProfiling @PrisonSystem @CrimeStatistics @GangViolence @CrimeAnalysis --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grizzly-onthehunt/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/grizzly-onthehunt/support

Chris Brewer is an agency veteran, marketing expert, and former golf pro. Not to mention my business partner and OMG Commerce's co-founder. Each year, Chris has the privilege of talking with hundreds of DTC brands, both big and small. He hears about their goals, struggles, plans, and more. As a strategist, I also consult with large-scaling eComm brands. Through our perspectives, we'd like to highlight ways in which great brands get in their own way and offer some candid advice when it comes to working with agencies.  We love the brands we talk to and the clients we serve. But, like anyone else, brands can sometimes overlook how they inadvertently hinder their own growth. Here are a few topics we cover that we hope you'll find helpful: Having goals that aren't battle-tested. Still thinking like it's 2020 in some areas of your business. Prioritizing automation and tools over strategy. Shooting for perfect data and ignoring actionable data. Stopping short of getting results. When you shouldn't hire an agency. How to get the most from an agency relationship. Plus more!

Chris Brewer is a former collegiate runner turned high stakes poker player from Oregon, currently sitting second on the state's all-time money list. After getting his first tournament cash in 2015, Brewer broke out onto the high stakes scene and is a regular in Triton events and in the PokerGO studio. In September 2021, Brewer took down the Poker Masters $25,000 No-Limit Hold'em event for $427,500, just one month after getting $420,670 after winning the $50,000 Super High Roller at the World Poker Tour (WPT) Seminole Hard Rock Poker Open. Brewer's heater continued into 2022 and he finished first in the Triton Poker Series Madrid €20,000 No-Limit Short Deck event for $387,209. Despite racking up $485,202 in WSOP earnings across 27 cashes, Brewer has yet to take home a coveted WSOP bracelet or ring. His closest call was in the 2021 WSOP.com Circuit online series, where he finished third in a $500 Pot-Limit Omaha event for $14,736. At the 2021 WSOP, Brewer finished fifth in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship for $211,235.Here is what you can expect on this week's show:0:00 Introduction1:04 The world's most expensive mullet7:41 3% Body Fat9:32 The world's fastest poker player18:29 Break-down of a bad beat34:20 A run at the Olympics44:18 Will Chris get slapped silly?▬ Winning the Game of Life ▬▬▬▬▬▬Check out other "Winning the Game of Life" episodes:► https://www.youtube.com/c/WinningTheGameofLifeConnect with Chris Brewer:Instagram: @cbrewer4893Twitter: @Chris_D_BrewerFollow "Jungleman" Dan Cates on social:Websites: https://www.wtgol.comInstagram: @wtgolpodcast @thedancatesTwitter: @junglemandan

There probably isn't a more consistent rule in business or in life like the 80/20 rule.  Usually, 80% or more of your results and success come from just 20% of your efforts. I'm all about finding the 20% of activities, changes, etc. to focus on to deliver the biggest impact.   In this episode, I bring back my business partner Chris Brewer to outline the 7 key areas you should focus on to grow your business both on Google and on Amazon this year.   These are 7 factors that should provide a big return for you. We'll cover a variety of topics including: How and why you should invest in YouTube ads What to expect and what to consider with Google's automation and smart bidding options How the SEO practices that everyone has forgotten may be a secret weapon for you. How Amazon is pouring more money and time into their ad platforms and what that means for growing your business.   Plus more!

The Cyber Five (Thanksgiving - Cyber Monday) this year broke all kinds of records and was an interesting departure from years past in several ways.  In this episode I welcome back to the podcast my business partner, Chris Brewer. We look at this holiday shopping season from a few different perspectives.  We talk in general terms about how our clients who are mostly in the $5 to $50 Million per year in sales did during the Cyber 5 and after. We also looked at trends and data from the largest ecomm companies.     By the numbers….a Look at the Industry as a Whole.   Here are just a few of the highlights we look at in this episode. Thanksgiving weekend was up 23% - total spend was $24.2 billion.  Thanksgiving through Cyber Monday. Mobile spend was $10 billion of that (approaching half) and that's up 44% from last year.  So doubling the growth rate of the holiday trend as a whole. Main Drivers of online sales Email at 26% - up 2% YoY Paid Search at 22% - up 6% YoY Social - minimal impact 1.3% of sales….(remember this stat is from the big guys, not mid-sized companies). Surprises from our clients: Black Friday was our clients biggest day by a long shot with Cyber Monday finishing 2nd. Social continues to be a big investment for our clients but getting the same results as last year has been difficult mainly due to rising ad costs. YouTube big as well - one of the top 3 channels for several of our clients.   Winning Formula: We talk about what our most successful clients did well so you can properly plan for next year.  We look at several winning tactics including: Email - build, cultivate and prime your email list for Cyber 5.  Multiple email reminders - often 3 per day. Start early - Wednesday even.  We found our most successful clients started sales or at least started promoting sales early. Consumers have finite dollars to spend, get their attention early and you'll have a better chance to grab your share of wallet. Build your retargeting audiences early - our clients who had the most success had large lists of people who've visited their site in the past or viewed a YouTube video who we could then retarget.  

Recently I had a chance to catch up with my friend and fellow entrepreneur, Dave Woodward.  Dave is the Chief Business Development Officer at ClickFunnels. He's a motivator, a marketing mastermind, and an all around awesome guy.   I first met Dave in 2009 or so when my business partner, Chris Brewer, and I were partnering with Russell Brunson (Co-Found of ClickFunnels) on a project.   It's been amazing watching click funnel scale from just an idea to a $200million + per year software as a service (SaaS) company in just a few years.     So how do you achieve that kind of growth?  That's what I wanted to hear from Dave. Here's a look at what we covered.  I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did!   Philosophy and mindset that allows for meteoric growth How the founders of Click Funnels got the team side of things right in order to scale How ClickFunnels acquired customers at a profit or breakeven when approximately zero SaaS companies have achieved that mark Marketing channels that are the most important to the growth of ClickFunnels What makes for a great eCommerce funnel What's next for ClickFunnels Plus more!

This episode is a treat both in terms of topic and guest.  I have my long-time business partner Chris Brewer on to talk about the most important topic of the year for most eCommerce companies - Holiday Sales.     For most eComm companies the Holiday season will determine whether you have a good year or a not so good year.  For some companies every day of holiday sales is the equivalent of a week or two the rest of the year. Having a great holiday season requires planning, attention to detail and some creativity.     I see things lining up for most eCommerce companies to break sales records this Holiday.  Will you be one of them?   Here's a look at what we cover: Getting Your Google Ad Campaigns Ready - getting your search, shopping and brand campaigns ready to “make hay” this holiday season.   Getting Your YouTube Ads Ready - Do you have remarketing in place?  Are you capitalizing on your competition?

Getting Your Amazon Ads Ready - Amazon is poised to CRUSH IT this holiday season.  Are your ad campaigns ready?
