A lot of businesses throw money at marketing without really knowing why it's not working. The clicks come in, the impressions pile up, but the actual results don't match the effort or spend. It's frustrating—especially when you know your product or service is solid. The real issue often isn't visibility, it's clarity—on who you're talking to, what they need, and how you're showing up. When that part finally clicks, everything else starts to make more sense. Chris Shihadeh built a lean, powerhouse agency that proves size doesn't equal success. As founder of Skylab Digital, he's turned pay-per-call marketing into a $20 million machine with just 10 employees. Today, he breaks down how insurance agencies can scale fast by dialing in lead quality, ad strategy, and team focus. He also shares lessons from his scrappy beginnings—starting businesses as a kid to navigating serious growing pains. His core message: build smart, stay focused, and culture will carry the rest.

Join Nick as he conducts a special masterclass mentoring session with guest Rohan Sheth, where they dive deep into the world of paid media advertising, exploring its significance for businesses at various stages of growth. Rohan, a seasoned expert and co-founder of the well-known agency GrowRev, shares insights from his extensive experience managing over $300 million in ad spend and generating over $2 billion in revenue for clients like Tony Robbins and Grant Cardone. The discussion covers common fears surrounding paid advertising, the importance of understanding customer lifetime value, and effective strategies for crafting compelling ad campaigns. KEY TAKEAWAYS Paid media is a powerful tool for scaling businesses quickly, but it requires a solid understanding of the numbers involved, such as customer acquisition cost and lifetime value. Knowing these metrics helps mitigate fears associated with spending money on ads. Different advertising platforms serve different purposes. For instance, LinkedIn is effective for B2B targeting, while Snapchat is emerging as a cost-effective option for lead generation, particularly in sectors like healthcare and telemedicine. Continuous testing of ad creatives, messaging, and targeting is crucial for optimising ad performance. Utilising AI tools can enhance this process by providing insights into audience segmentation and creative development. A clear understanding of the customer journey from awareness to conversion is essential. This involves ensuring that the messaging in ads aligns with what users see on landing pages to avoid confusion and increase conversion rates. Starting with a manageable budget (e.g., $50 a day) and maintaining consistency in ad spending is important for building momentum in advertising campaigns. Platforms favour advertisers who demonstrate consistent activity, which can lead to better performance over time. BEST MOMENTS "There is no quicker way to scale a business than by being able to turn on paid media and also turn it off." "Fear is the biggest one that I see a lot of the time... it comes down to understanding. There is a way to just light up money on fire." "If you know your lifetime value for customers is north of $20,000, I'd go to LinkedIn because you're going to get that." "The one thing Facebook likes to see is consistency. They'd rather you spend $50 a day consistently than turn it on and off." "Get really clear on that customer journey or that prospect to customer journey. That's critical."

You know the one—where your calendar is packed but conversions are scarce, and each call leaves you more drained than the last? That's exactly where one of my clients found herself recently, questioning her entire business model despite having plenty of interest in her services.The breakthrough came when we realized her problem wasn't her expertise or offer—it was a sales system completely misaligned with how she naturally works. Together, we crafted a five-part framework that transformed her approach and had her operations director literally dancing with excitement by the end of our session.This episode walks you through the exact blueprint we developed: lead generation that filters early to attract only qualified prospects, a qualification system that ensures calls are mutually beneficial, sales conversations restructured as "business therapy" rather than overwhelming info dumps, a gateway offer that builds true trust without giving everything away, and an upsell moment that flows naturally as the next logical step. The magic happens when these elements work together in harmony, creating a sales process that honors your unique strengths and working style.What makes this approach different is its focus on alignment rather than tactics. When your sales system fits you—not the other way around—you reclaim your energy, attract clients who genuinely energize you, and transform selling from a draining chore into an enjoyable, effective process. Whether you're struggling with too many bad-fit leads or feeling exhausted by your current sales approach, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on creating a system that actually works for you, not against you.

Bradley Benner is a leading local SEO expert and the founder of multiple businesses, including TreeCareHQ, Semantic Mastery, Semantic Links, and Semantic SEO. With over a decade of experience in agency building, lead generation, and SEO coaching, Bradley helps both business owners and marketing professionals create systems that convert clicks into clients. Why Local SEO Still Matters Even with the rise of AI-driven search, Google Maps still drives the majority of local leads – nearly 70%, according to Bradley. But most business owners aren't optimizing their Google Business Profiles the right way. From posting geo-tagged photos to writing location-specific content, Bradley shares actionable strategies that help local businesses get seen and generate results. He also emphasizes why local businesses should aim to rank in both Maps and traditional search results. It's not just about visibility – it's about building long-term authority and creating a safety net when algorithms shift. Why Niching Down Changes Everything In 2020, Bradley made a pivotal shift by focusing solely on tree service contractors – a decision that helped him streamline his processes, scale faster, and build a thriving local agency. By specializing, he was able to reuse assets, simplify his marketing, and generate predictable results for his clients. Today, his white-label SEO agencies serve other marketers looking for efficient, proven systems. Whether you're a service-based business owner or a marketing pro supporting them, this episode is packed with practical SEO insights and long-term strategy. Enjoy this episode with Bradley Benner… Soundbytes 8:20-8:34 “Just because we may have a skill like being able to know how to get stuff to rank in Google, that doesn't mean that you're going to be effective at being able to convert that skill into money – not just for yourself as the SEO professional, but for the business that you're selling that service to.” 10:14-10:34 “In 2020 I niched down. I finally decided to ignore anybody else other than tree contractors from my own local SEO agency. And boy, that was the biggest thing, the best thing I could have ever done. Because it simplified my business significantly from the workload.” Quotes “If you can build enough brand strength, you can typically rank well, even if you have terrible SEO.” “About 70% of the leads that are generated from Google Search come from maps.” “One of the most valuable things that they can do is just train their technicians to take three to five photos from a mobile device.” “AI is changing search behavior fast. If your business isn't feeding the model, you're invisible.” Links mentioned in this episode: From Our Guest Website: https://semanticmastery.com/ Connect with Bradley Benner on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bradleybenner/ Connect with brandiD Download our free guide to learn 16 crucial website updates that attract more leads and convert visitors into clients: https://thebrandid.com/website-tweaks/ Ready to elevate your digital presence with a powerful brand or website?

Running an agency can feel like shouting into the void—hours spent on content, pitch decks, and proposals that never land. It's frustrating when you know you're good at what you do but can't seem to cut through the noise. A lot of the time, it's not about effort—it's about missing the mark on what really speaks to the people you want to work with. Without that connection, growth stays slow no matter how hard you push. Bill Rice is a FinTech marketing expert with 20+ years in sales strategy and a background as a U.S. Air Force officer. He now runs Bill Rice Strategy, helping startups grow through smart lead generation. Today, he breaks down how FinTech companies can connect with customers by focusing on relatable content, using AI to assist (not replace) creativity, and building personal brands that earn trust. His approach is clear: be human, be strategic, and stay authentic. Stay tuned!

Are you looking to transform your podcast into a true marketing powerhouse for your business? In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I dive into the world of virtual events with the incredible Steve Eriksen, founder of EventRaptor.   VIRTUAL EVENTS: YOUR SECRET PODCAST MARKETING TOOL 00:00 Engage Audience with Your Story 04:22 "Mastering Virtual Event Hosting" 08:32 Building Event Lists with Top Speakers 12:28 "Entrepreneurial Success Through Speaking" 16:44 "Set Deadlines for Accountability" 20:14 Clarity Boosts Sales: Simple Pricing 21:49 "Virtual Summits Drive Audience Engagement" 25:42 Summit Preparation: Key Considerations 30:48 Tailoring Talks for Different Audiences 33:27 Targeted Networking for Real Estate Professionals 35:53 "Service Bundles and Success Guarantees" 38:28 "Nine-Step Rapport-Building Framework" 42:09 Virtual Summits for Lead Conversion 45:46 "Weekly Coaching Invitation"   We reveal exactly how hosting and speaking at summits, masterminds, and online conferences can rapidly grow your email list, attract your ideal clients, and explode your authority in your niche. Virtual events are so much more than just another "networking" opportunity—they're a dynamic growth strategy. On this episode, you'll hear why they offer results no other channel can match.   THE COMPOUND POWER OF VIRTUAL EVENTS If you want leverage, you need to get in front of more people—faster. That's why I'm such a huge advocate of virtual events. When you speak at a summit or online masterminds, you aren't just building rapport with one person at a time. You're leveraging the audience of a host who's vouching for your expertise and putting you directly in front of people already interested in your topic. And when you host your own virtual summit, you don't just add 25 or 50 leads. You're suddenly adding hundreds or even thousands of the right people to your email list, letting you scale your business much more quickly.   AVOIDING COMMON VIRTUAL EVENT MISTAKES Steve Eriksen and I dig deep into what separates successful summits from virtual event disasters. We reveal why keeping things simple—for both your offers and your event organization—is key if you want real results. Steve shares powerful examples of mistakes to avoid, like confusing multi-tiered VIP offers that leave attendees unsure and uncommitted. Instead, you'll learn why clarity and a focused value proposition always win, and how offering a single irresistible option can drive thousands in summit revenue.   FIVE KEY ELEMENTS TO BE SUMMIT-READY You might be wondering: What do you really need to show up and win at a virtual event? Steve Eriksen is the Founder of EventRaptor - the BEST solution for making Virtual Event Management easy! In his previous role as the Chief Technology Officer for Mary Morrissey, a life coach certification organization with an 8-figure revenue, he was responsible for all the tech that went into their events with thousands of attendees. Steve now helps entrepreneurs with their event tech with EventRaptor. Steve breaks down the five-step system every podcasting entrepreneur should have in place. These include a strong lead magnet, a signature talk that plants your expertise in people's minds, a reliable follow-up sequence, an irresistible offer, and a simple sales conversion system. Whether you're hosting or guest-speaking, having this foundation will not only grow your email list but also turn new listeners into long-term clients.   BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS THAT LAST Podcasting and virtual events are about more than downloads and email addresses. They're about building meaningful relationships with your audience and fellow experts. Throughout this episode, I share how consistently showing up (even as a last-minute speaker) builds goodwill in the virtual event space, leading to more invitations, stronger JV partnerships, and more sales. If you're ready to establish trust, deepen engagement, and finally build a platform that delivers impact, this episode will give you the exact blueprint to make that happen.

Episode Overview: In this must-listen episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John sits down with Eric Post, Co-Founder and Chief Visionary Officer of Huzi.AI, to unpack the seismic shifts AI is driving across the real estate industry and why traditional agents must evolve—or risk becoming obsolete. Together, they dissect the evolution of leverage in real estate—from hiring human assistants to virtual teams and now, AI-driven assistants that operate 24/7, enabling agents to scale, optimize, and dominate their markets. Eric reveals why the most dangerous disruption in real estate isn't AI-powered competitors—it's the AI-powered consumer. With access to sophisticated knowledge tools, today's buyers and sellers are better informed and have higher expectations than ever before. Agents who continue to rely solely on old-school tactics and ignore the power of AI will quickly fall behind. Key Takeaways & Insights: AI-Powered Consumers Will Outpace Agents Who Refuse to Adapt: The modern homebuyer and seller now have AI in their pockets. If real estate agents aren't using AI tools like Huzi.AI to match or exceed their clients' knowledge and responsiveness, they risk being bypassed altogether. Shift from Broadcasting to Deep Personalization: The AI revolution is not about more content—it's about more meaningful, personalized communication. Agents must stop focusing on volume and start focusing on delivering relevant, valuable conversations that resonate at a personal level. Reimagine Leverage with AI-Powered Assistants: The agent of the future will use AI tools as intelligent business partners—handling research, data aggregation, follow-ups, negotiations, and even task management—allowing the agent to focus on human-to-human connection and high-value activities. Focus on Wisdom, Not Just Knowledge: While AI can deliver data, it cannot replace the human wisdom that top agents bring to the table. Agents must use tools like Huzi.AI to augment their decision-making and empower themselves to be more strategic and insightful. The Future of Real Estate Is Hyper-Personalization and Conversation-Centric: Agents who lean into the conversational revolution and use AI to create highly personalized, interactive experiences will own the future of real estate. Collapse Time, Increase Productivity, and Eliminate Busywork: With tools like Huzi.AI, agents can dramatically compress tasks that used to take hours into minutes, freeing them to focus on nurturing client relationships, negotiating deals, and scaling their businesses. The Death of Mediocrity in Real Estate: The era of "doing enough" is over. Agents must commit to excellence, embrace AI-powered efficiency, and deliver a remarkable client experience—or face extinction in an industry evolving at breakneck speed. Bonus Insights: The dangers of agents using AI solely for vanity marketing and content pumping—and how that plays into the hands of companies like Zillow. How Huzi.AI can integrate with your CRM, calendar, and communications to become your always-on AI-powered Chief of Staff. The power of community, coaching, and collaboration in navigating the AI revolution. The parallels between business and endurance sports—why pushing your limits is the key to leadership and legacy in this AI-powered era.
