Podcasts about Hooks

One of the biggest reasons why people aren't consuming your content is because they don't find it relevant. And the things that people find relevant are the things that create these automatic triggers inside of their subconscious. Things like emotions, curiosity, or identities, or  big realizations, that's the stuff that gets the clicks and most people don't know how to do that. Last week we did a whole episode on four different hooks that you can use to start getting people to take the automatic reactions and clicks and actions you want them to take. This week, listen and discover how to effectively use these hooks in various contexts such as ads, emails, webinars, and call-to-actions to create impactful messaging that drives actionable responses. Discover how to use them in every part of your communication from content creation to teaching to pitching and how that can get you the best traction. Ready to create content that converts?

So what does? Well, it's all about the hooks—the language and communication that drive people into action.  Today on the podcast, I break down four different hooks you can start using immediately to get your audience to act. Listen in to explore how buying decisions are emotionally and subconsciously driven, and why understanding this is key to driving conversions. I'll even introduce you to four types of hooks (Identity, Curiosity, Emotional, and Realization) and show you how to implement them in your content to drive action every single time. Whether it's in your business, funnel ads, or emails, these hooks will change the game.  Ready to create content that converts? I'll show you how for just $17!

“As I was reading Hooks and Freire, a colleague recommended Adrian Rich's essay "Teaching Language in Open Admissions." It was in that essay that I first read about her experiences teaching at CUNY during open admissions, learning that she taught alongside June Jordan, Audre Lorde, and Toni Cade Bambara. Eventually, that essay led me to their archival teaching materials. I was really excited because I found in those materials concrete teaching methods, things they were doing in their own classrooms that I then started trying in my classrooms as well. I also really liked their educational philosophies, thinking about what it means for college to be free and the fact that they were teaching during this revolutionary era. What would that look like today? What would it mean? What could free college bring to our society? What does free college make possible? All of those things coming together led me to the project.”In this episode of the Speaking Out of Place podcast, Professor David Palumbo-Liu talks with Danica Savonick about her marvelous book entitled Open Admissions: The Poetics and Pedagogy of Toni Cade Bambara, June Jordan, Audre Lorde, and Adrienne Rich in the Era of Free College. This is a riveting and deeply inspiring story of how each of these luminaries in the fields of literature and feminism found their way into the City University of New York in the 1960s, when community activists had forced open what was called the Harvard for the proletariat to admit new classes of Black, brown, and other people of color. Savonick shows through copious archival research how Bambara, Jordan, Lorde, and Rich each came to find radical teaching methods in collaboration with these new students, and how their experiences with this new pedagogy affected their creative and other writing in profound and lasting ways. This is a critical history we can and must learn from today, when federal and state governments have added to the damage and violence done by the neoliberal university. We find exactly the tools and models we need to create spaces for education for liberation both within, but also outside, the Academy.Danica Savonick is an Associate Professor of English at SUNY Cortland. Her current project focuses on the radical writers and artists who taught at the experimental Livingston College (part of Rutgers University) in the 1970s. Her research has appeared in MELUS, American Literature, Modern Fiction Studies, Radical Teacher, Keywords for Digital Pedagogy in the Humanities, Public Books, and The Chronicle of Higher Ed.https://speakingoutofplace.comBluesky @palumboliu.bsky.socialInstagram @speaking_out_of_place

Racing the Shadows – CH Hooks on Can't Shake the Dust In this compelling episode of Read Between the Lines, host Molly Southgate sits down with acclaimed author C.H. Hooks to talk about his powerful new novel, Can't Shake the Dust. The story follows “Little” Bill Lemon III as he struggles to outrun a family legacy filled with hardship, violence, and resilience. From the gritty cages of The Monkey Palace—his grandfather's rough-and-tumble bar—to the questionable ventures of his parents, Little finds his escape on the dirt track every Saturday night. In a car that barely runs, he races not just for victory, but for redemption in the backroads of the South. Hooks masterfully captures the weight of legacy, poverty, and perseverance in a world where there's never enough—money, opportunity, or even soap to wash away the Georgia red dirt. With its heart-pounding scenes and unflinching truths, Can't Shake the Dust is a southern tale you won't forget.

When Briar Roberts started reading towing-themed books to his young children, something unexpected happened – he got mad. As an experienced tow truck operator, the technical inaccuracies in these stories were glaring. Hooks attached to plastic bumpers? Cables through windows? This wasn't the profession he knew and loved.What began as bedtime frustration transformed into inspiration when his wife suggested a simple solution: "Why don't you write one?" So, Roberts penned what would become "Chuck the Little Tow Truck," a children's book that finally represents the towing industry with technical accuracy while delivering heartwarming messages about perseverance, mentorship, and safety.During this captivating conversation with hosts DJ Harrington, April and Wes Wilburn, Roberts reveals the surprisingly swift writing process  and the more challenging journey through illustration and self-publishing. Working with South American illustrator Eduardo Posh, Roberts meticulously ensured every visual detail accurately reflected proper towing techniques – from correct vehicle recovery positions to the inclusion of specialized equipment like spreader bars and snatch blocks.Beyond technical precision, "Chuck the Little Tow Truck" embeds critical safety messaging about slowing down and moving over for roadside workers – education that could potentially save lives by reaching children and parents simultaneously. The story itself follows a small tow truck with big dreams, teaching valuable lessons about knowing your capabilities and recognizing when to ask for help.Now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart, this first installment in a planned series represents more than just a children's book – it's an industry veteran's contribution to accurate representation and safety education. For towers who visit schools with their trucks or want to share their profession with the next generation, Roberts has created the perfect companion piece that respects and celebrates the skilled work of towing professionals.Ready to support this industry-changing project?

If your LinkedIn feed looks like a museum of giant n8n screenshots and “comment to get the guide” posts…good. That means the playbook works—when you do it right. Paolo breaks down the exact framework his agency uses to turn LinkedIn into a repeatable inbound lead engine for B2B—especially SaaS, agencies, and info businesses.What You'll LearnLead magnet mechanics that still crush: how to pick the right asset (templates vs. guides), formats that perform (Notion docs, Miro boards, short scroll videos), and the “perceived value + curiosity + scarcity” combo.Hooks that make people click “See more”: trigger desire, fear, or curiosity in the first 3 lines.Pattern interrupts that boost reach: why oversized workflows, zoom-ins, and 10-second sped-up videos spike hover time and help the algo.Profile-as-landing-page: how to structure your headline, Featured section, and CTAs to funnel traffic without tanking post reach.Nurture after the comment: DM prompts that qualify intent, when to drop case studies, and how to avoid low-intent “free audit” traps.Where this shines: B2B SaaS, agencies, consultants/coaches—audiences that are active on LinkedIn and buy from content.Paolo's Playbook (Step-by-Step)Pick the problem (one ICP pain your offer solves).Choose the asset format based on buyer type:Done-for-you buyers → plug-and-play templates.Education/info buyers → guides/videos.Design the preview media to signal value and create curiosity:Notion table of contents screenshot, massive Miro flow, or a 10-sec scroll video.Write the post like this:3-line hook (desire/fear/curiosity).Promise + what's inside.CTA to comment (optionally “repost for priority”).Light scarcity (e.g., 48-hour window).Delivery & DMs:Send the asset, ask an easy reply (“Are you posting on LinkedIn yet?”).Qualify with 1–2 follow-ups, then make a clear offer with outcomes + timeline (+ guarantee if you have one).Nurture cadence (next 2–3 days):Day 1: Case study (story format: before → intervention → after; CTA to book).Day 2: Technical value post (lower engagement is fine; it nurtures).Add strongest case studies to Featured on your profile.Links without nuking reach:Push to profile/Featured or drop links in comments; edit the post later to add the link after it's cooked.Tactical NuggetsComments > Likes (weightier signal + more hover time).Avoid bot pods; if you coordinate engagement, keep it real accounts and relationships.For SaaS without a free trial, push to a free setup/usage guide that inherently requires the product.Use storytelling in case studies; people remember transformations, not dashboards.If you're running volume lead magnets, expect lower engagement on deep-dive posts—that's normal and still effective.Tools & Formats MentionedNotion (TOC screenshot as lead magnet preview)Miro (big workflow screenshots)n8n (automation diagrams that stop the scroll)Short scroll videos (10–15s, autoplay pattern interrupt)AI voice agent (optional MOFU experiment to educate and qualify at scale before handing off to a human)Who This Works Best ForB2B SaaS (often top performer)AgenciesConsultants/CoachesAny ICP that's active on LinkedIn and buys based on content/authoritySponsorTalent Fiber — Hire world-class global talent (engineers with 7+ years' experience, U.S. time zones, excellent English) at ~⅓ U.S. cost.
