We're Big John's BBQ out of Las Vegas. I am the head pit master - Big John Bowman. My BBQ journey started in Kansas City in 2009 when my wife Kim worked with the marketing agency for the American Royal BBQ—so I got to meet and taste BBQ from top competitors, and I was instantly hooked. I bought a cheap offset smoker, started learning everything I could, and when we moved back home to Vegas, it grew from cooking for friends and church gatherings into catering events and weddings.     In 2015, I launched Big John's competition bbq team and started competing. Since then we've done numerous Nevada BBQ Association events, 16 KCBS contests, and a few SCA events, with highlights like 1st place brisket at the 2024 Golden State Battle in Hollister, CA, and Grand Champion at the 2025 KCBS BBQ Jackpot in Las Vegas.

Million Dollar Relationships
Building on YouTube with Mary Ann Bautista and Matthew Pierce

Million Dollar Relationships

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 3, 2026 35:42


What if the content you created in 2006 is still making you money today? In this episode, Kevin sits down with Mary Ann Bautista and Matthew Pierce, co-founders of Turbo Rank, in the first-ever two-guest interview on the show. With 30 years of direct response marketing behind them across TV, radio, and podcasting, they now specialize in helping mid-market businesses turn YouTube into a discoverable, revenue-generating channel. What makes their story remarkable is that they built Turbo Rank without ads, without outside funding, and without starting from zero. A client relationship they started together in 2006 never stopped generating revenue, giving them the foundation to launch on their own terms. Mary Ann speaks about a relationship that changed everything: Mary Lou, a radio salesperson she met in the early 1990s. A chain of casual introductions through Mary Lou's sister led to the client Mary Ann has worked with since 2006, the one that funded houses, put kids through college, and laid the groundwork for Turbo Rank. Matthew speaks on the relationship that changed everything: a voiceover artist he hired and became friends with, who casually mentioned Matthew to a large client one day. That single unrequested referral turned into 10 years of work across 40 franchise markets.   [00:03:28] Ryan Guthrie: The Introduction Behind This Episode Ryan Guthrie connected Kevin with Mary Ann and Matthew, and Kevin calls it an automatic yes. Both sides agreed immediately because the trust was already there through Ryan. This is also the first time Mary Ann and Matthew have been interviewed together. [00:04:56] What They Do: YouTube Organic Optimization YouTube is the second largest search engine and most businesses do not know how to use it properly. They work with brands already active on YouTube in the $10 million to $500 million revenue range. They help clients get found, grow owned audiences, and turn YouTube into a direct sales channel. [00:07:40] What Inspires Them: Results You Can Actually See Matthew loves building an owned audience on YouTube rather than renting someone else's attention. Mary Ann points to a client they took to over 50% view duration in just eight weeks. Both say watching a client's eyes open wide at their 30-day progress meetings never gets old. [00:11:08] How They Met: A Fake Sales Call on a Friday Afternoon Matthew sold radio at CBS and used fake sales calls to Mary Ann's agency as an excuse to leave early on Fridays. They became friends, and when Matthew started his own agency, Mary Ann was one of his first clients. She brought him a restricted health and wellness account, and they started experimenting with YouTube together in 2006. [00:13:40] The Client They Have Had Since 2006 That original account grew into over 60 YouTube channels, most still driving orders today. They learned the real craft of YouTube optimization by pushing hard to serve that one account well. Two years ago they spotted a gap in the organic YouTube space and launched Turbo Rank together. [00:16:07] The Client Win They Are Most Proud Of A competitor blogger was ranking above a client's own product name with inaccurate negative content. Turbo Rank pushed the negative results down and put the client's videos in top positions in about four months. Revenue share deals from work done years ago still fund Turbo Rank today and let them launch without outside capital. [00:21:32] Mary Ann's Million Dollar Relationship: Mary Lou Mary Lou was a radio salesperson at KCBS who became a genuine friend over four or five years. She introduced Mary Ann to her sister, who made a casual elevator introduction to a key contact at a major company. That chain led to Mary Ann's most significant client relationship, one that has lasted over 30 years. [00:23:20] Matthew's Million Dollar Relationship: The Voiceover Artist A voiceover artist Matthew hired stayed in touch long after the job was done. Without being asked, he mentioned Matthew to a large client he was working with. That one casual mention turned into 10 years of work across 40 franchise markets. [00:25:35] Empowering People to Outgrow You Matthew recognized a team member was destined for bigger things and pushed him toward better opportunities. Mary Ann then hired that same person at her agency, where he stayed four or five years before moving to LA and thriving. Both believe holding people back hurts everyone, and open communication is the foundation of their culture. [00:32:14] Final Thought: YouTube Is Not Optional Anymore Every month you delay means competitors get further ahead. 60 to 65% of people search after seeing an ad, and if you are not ranking, you paid for that lead to go to a competitor. Turbo Rank offers a free mini audit and quick fix report for qualified brands at turborank.co.   KEY QUOTES "YouTube is the second largest search engine. People go to YouTube to find out how to do stuff. It is a social network. People go to YouTube to connect. It is one of the most powerful things your business can do right now." - Matthew Pierce "My very best clients are employees of former clients. They remember you, they know how hard you work, they know the value you brought, and you're the first call when there's a need." - Mary Ann Bautista CONNECT WITH MARY ANN AND MATTHEW

Fat Plate BBQ, Tasting

At Fat Plate BBQ, everything began with a passion for outdoor cooking. What began as a weekend hobby in our own backyard quickly turned into a passion for creating bold and creative flavors that help make your next cook your best cook. I first caught the BBQ bug over a decade and a half ago, after buying a used Primo Oval XL from Craigslist. Probably 35 different cookers later, Fat Plate BBQ was born. Somewhere in the middle of that timeline, I started competing in as many sanctioned and unsanctioned BBQ contests as I could find. Just as my competition journey was picking up, COVID hit and shut down most comps anywhere near me. My desire to continue scratching that BBQ itch manifested itself in a slightly different way. With a background in tech, I decided to use the pandemic caused downtime to start an online BBQ supply store: boostyourbbq.com. Boost Your BBQ put me in a unique position to work with highly successful teams and contacts from all across the country. I was able to use my knowledge of competition BBQ to source products, help others on their BBQ journey, and just straight up learn everything I could. At this time, the SCA had a heavy presence on the East Coast, and I started competing regularly there. Personal commitments started demanding more of my time. I was lucky enough to become a father of two kids that I wanted to spend more time with, but also my parents' health began to rapidly decline, so I sold Boost Your BBQ and took a step back from competing. My wife and I cater upon request using our line of seasonings we've spent years perfecting, and I never wanted anyone to run out of food or feel like the BBQ wasn't a good value, so we have become known for our large portion sizes (a big old fat plate of BBQ), so Fat Plate BBQ it was. Our line of seasonings have been developed from our competition recipes and feedback from highly successful KCBS teams. Fat Plate BBQ rubs have helped many teams win MULTIPLE GC's, RGC's, 180's and Golden Tickets. Our Beef Blanket rub was part of the recipe for the FIRST EVER DOUBLE PERFECT SCA scores (West Newton, PA). Our sponsored teams have placed highly at hundreds of KCBS competitions and the Jack. Fat Plate BBQ's main goal is to create killer flavor profiles that don't taste like everything else on the market. We go for creative and unique, but still "covering the bases" to achieve traditional flavor profiles. Our rubs compliment each other, and lend themselves well to layering flavors. Our soon to be released products, really raise the bar and fill the gaps in the rub and sauce categories and add to our unique offerings.

SEASON 4 EPISODE 48: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (2:30) SPECIAL COMMENT: This is Trump’s terrorism; this is the Kent State of our time. A peaceful, unarmed protestor, murdered by Trump’s ICE, while Trump’s Lie Factory and Trump personally smeared her, blamed her, made up a story of threat where there was no threat, altered images, lied about her, lied about what the Gestapo they sent to kill Americans in American cities did to her. Two weeks from Saturday, it will be ten years since he said it. January 24, 2016: I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.” And once again his stochastic terrorist murderous wish has come true. Only it was on East 34th Street in Minneapolis. One of his Border-Patrol-ICE militia shot and killed Renee Macklin Good. ICE killed her, and then they slandered her. Trump has his wish. The Trump Administration has begun its shooting war, its reign of terror, against the peaceful and unarmed citizens of the United States. It can be disputed whether Renee Macklin Good was the first. It cannot be disputed that unless Trump is legally restrained, she will not be the last. And later, the ICE/Border Control militia attacked a Minneapolis high school. And Trump chose the day of his crime-by-proxy, after the murder, to insist that he has quote “determined” that the military budget for 2027 needs to be increased from the obscene level of one trillion dollars… by FIFTY PERCENT to a trillion and a half. That is the military he wants to use against American civilians on American streets. That is the military he JUST used against American civilians on American streets in Minneapolis. ALSO: I DON'T MAKE THE RULES. Trump's renditioning of Nicolas Maduro from Venezuela means, simply, that any country that would like to send a squad to this country to abduct one of our leaders needs only to have first indicted Trump in their own country - and cut a deal with JD Vance to take over as presidency and swear fealty to their country. B-Block (29:00) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: Earlier this week seemed to have been dedicated to Trump's most concentrated revelation of his insanity. Tuesday, at a Republican retreat, he hit all the notes, and pretty much cemented the idea that he indeed suffers from anosognosia (an inability to perceive an illness, especially a dementia-related one). C-Block (37:00) DEATH BY MEDIA: This is just day six of the Tony Dokoupil debacle but if you don't think CBS could bail out of this fast, I was a witness when they took their third most profitable news property - the local CBS News in Los Angeles - and invented a new format called "The News Wheel." It went over so poorly it was cancelled after a month and a day. And since Bari Weiss skipped right past trying to emulate Fox News and went directly to Alex Jones News, they may have to bail out. But there's a whole back story you may not know about. WHY Weiss personally selected Dokoupil to helm this disaster, and why Katy Tur married him.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
