Two new Think Fast Talk Smart AI tools put communication skills to the test in real time.Technology promises many things, but few experiments illustrate its potential more vividly than a coach in conversation with his own digital counterpart. In this episode, Matt Abrahams introduces two new AI-powered tools from the Think Fast Talk Smart Online Learning Community: Coach Matt and Chat Matt. Trained on years of Matt's communication teachings and podcast insights, these digital counterparts offer a rare opportunity to watch human expertise meet machine-driven guidance in real time.Coach Matt begins by addressing a familiar tension: the surge of anxiety that surfaces before high-stakes speaking moments. His approach reframes that nervousness as a form of future-focused energy that can be redirected toward curiosity and clarity. He also introduces the “What–So What–Now What” framework, a simple but powerful method for giving feedback that remains constructive, direct, and grounded in shared purpose.Chat Matt then steps into the conversation, tackling the challenge of crafting a compelling proposal in just two minutes. Its responses reveal how AI can quickly synthesize communication principles while also highlighting the evolving space where human nuance and digital precision intersect.By pairing Matt Abrahams with his own digital counterparts, this episode of Think Fast Talk Smarts explores the future of communication learning—one where technology doesn't replace the coach, but expands the possibilities for insight, clarity, and confident expression.Episode Reference Links:Think Fast Talk Smart Learning Community Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (03:13) - Introducing Coach Matt and Chat Matt (04:14) - Coach Matt: Speaking Anxiety (06:14) - Reframing Nervousness (07:14) - Constructive Feedback Framework (08:33) - Testing Communication Advice (10:07) - Chat Matt: High-Stakes Presenting (13:59) - Strengthening a Two-Minute Proposal (16:35) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.

Every year it happens.You head into January full of intention – new planner, new strategy, new promise that this is the year your marketing finally feels organised and intentional.And then by mid-February… you're right back in reactive mode wondering what the hell happened.In today's episode of the How I Do Content Podcast, I'm breaking down why this cycle keeps repeating itself – and spoiler alert: it has nothing to do with your motivation, organisation, or discipline. The real reason you slip back into reactive marketing is because your messaging isn't doing the job it's supposed to do.When your messaging is unclear, everything you create becomes guesswork. You default to random acts of marketing, posting whatever pops into your head, filling space, relying on pressure or inspiration, and hoping it magically works.And without strong messaging, your marketing has no direction – so of course it becomes reactive.I'm diving into the three specific messaging mistakes keeping you stuck in this pattern: the chaos that happens when you create random content with no intention, the trap of speaking only to your warm audience (and accidentally blocking your own sales pipeline), and the reason people love your content but still don't take the next step. These are the patterns pulling you back into reactive mode year after year – and once you see them, you can change them.If you want 2026 to be the year you finally break out of reactive marketing and step into proactive, intentional messaging that actually attracts, moves, and converts your audience – this episode is your sign to fix your messaging.CHOOSE YOUR MESSAGING PATHWAYPathway 1: Micro Messaging (6 months of wizard-level support)If you want powerful messaging that consistently attracts and converts your dream clients, join the waitlist to access the 2025 pricing before it increases in January.https://thesocialbolt.com.au/messaging-waitlist/ Pathway 2: The Messaging Fastrack IntensiveNeed your 2026 messaging + launch plan sorted fast?

If your messaging isn't converting buyers every day, you need to dump the old messaging model.  And replace with the NEW sales-anchored messaging model.  Without these anchors? You sound...nice. Helpful.  You don't sound like a category-of-one authority premium buyers need to hire. Sales-anchored messaging shift beliefs. Close gaps.   And convert. When your messaging is infused with my YES-trigger Psychology -- you'll hear "I'm in" ( even before you reveal the price). Press play and listen how sales-anchored messaging triggers YES before you even make the offer. Your category-of-one era starts here. _______________ Access my entire Sanctified Sales Methodology inside this *free* Private Podcast: https://www.judyweber.co/privatepodcast Next Steps:

Ever wonder why some home service businesses grow effortlessly while others can't convert loyal customers? Many blame competition or marketing spend, but the real issue is confusion—unclear stories, inconsistent branding, and clunky customer experiences that break trust.  In this episode of The Better Than Rich Show, host Mike Abramowitz talks with Brian Sooy, author of Blue Collar Branding and Marketing Director at Gorjank Home Services. Brian shares how the StoryBrand and CARE Framework (Clarity, Alignment, Relevance, Experience) can help small service companies communicate clearly, deliver trust at every touchpoint, and scale through simplicity. He explains how local expertise, consistent messaging, and frictionless systems create brands that customers remember and recommend. Sooy discusses the StoryBrand framework, emphasizing the customer as the hero, and outlines a seven-step process—identifying the customer's problem, presenting a solution, and defining success. He highlights the importance of clarity, alignment, relevance, and experience in branding, stressing the need for consistency across all touchpoints, including marketing and customer service.  Timestamps [00:00] From Story to Strategy [01:32] The Customer Is the Hero [05:05] Defining the Ideal Client Avatar [07:23] The PASS Framework for Messaging [12:47] Ensuring Consistency in Conversions [17:01] Training CSRs for Alignment [18:26] The CARE Framework Explained [26:19] Building Frictionless User Experiences [32:43] Aligning Vendors with Company Vision [38:33] Standing Out Through Local Expertise [43:33] Delivering Premium Customer Experience [48:03] Tracking Sanity Metrics vs Vanity Metrics [51:00] Significance Over Success  Key Quotes “The customer is the hero, and your brand is the guide.” “Clarity builds confidence. Confusion kills conversion.” “Alignment means everyone tells the same story—marketing, sales, and customer service.” “The sale is a sample of the service. Every touchpoint matters.” “Significance over success—that's what it means to be better than rich.” Key Takeaways Clarify your message so customers instantly know who you help and how. Align every team and vendor around one consistent brand story. Focus on relevance—speak like a trusted local expert, not a faceless company. Deliver an experience that's frictionless, fast, and personal.  Links Mentioned Blue Collar Branding by Brian Sooy: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Collar-Branding-Field-Proven-Framework-ebook/dp/B0F91PMS6ZGorjanc Home Services: https://www.gorjanc.com/Aespire: https://www.aespire.com/Connect with Brian on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briansooy

In a world flooded with low-quality AI content, this episode delivers a powerful truth: AI will not replace you, but someone who knows how to blend authentic story, message, and originality with AI absolutely can. Jason breaks down the major shifts shaping 2024 and 2025, from the rise of performance longevity and biohacking in health, to AI-driven storytelling and distribution in wealth, to the growing need for real community in happiness. This episode offers a practical roadmap to stand out in a crowded digital landscape while staying rooted in authenticity.   "If you know how to control the message and the distribution using AI as a tool, and you can merge your story, your brand message, into the AI tools I'm telling you, you are going to dominate for the foreseeable future."   Key highlights: AI will not replace coaches and service providers, but those who combine their authentic message with AI will outperform those who rely on AI alone. Authenticity is becoming the new currency, surpassing attention as the most valuable driver of connection and conversion in marketing. Market sophistication is rising quickly, and businesses that fail to evolve their messaging and positioning will get lost in a sea of lookalike content. Health and wellness trends are shifting toward performance and longevity, with growing interest in peptides, wearables, recovery tech, and biohacking. Community and connection are emerging as major "booms" because people crave belonging, which increases retention, results, and business profitability. A unique brand message and big idea are essential, since generic messaging and AI-written content make brands feel commoditized and interchangeable. The GPT Sandwich method (10-80-10) helps creators maintain their true voice, where AI supports brainstorming, drafting, and refining, but the creator's unique tone, depth, and story remain at the center.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Josh Justice, CEO of Peerly, highlights the new Video in Motion technology, an evolution of their previous HD video texting service. This next-generation tool allows for sending 4K high-resolution video to voters' phones via text message, bypassing the limitations of MMS protocols. This is a direct-to-voter messaging model that Josh argues is superior to traditional OTT and CTV advertising because it delivers a measurable interactive experience directly to voters. Josh and I talk about: The integration of AI for video captions and thumbnails using AMP AI to handle replies that text campaigns generate The benefits of delivering messages directly to a voter's phone versus paid advertising The value of the robust real-time metrics tracking 64 different points of engagement Need for campaigns to take a mobile-first strategy to meet voters where they are in motion and not just sitting in front of a screen #Peerly #VideoInMotion #CampaignTech #PoliticalInnovation #DigitalOutreach #VoterEngagement #MobileStategy Peerly.com

Over the last couple of weeks, we've talked about how to tell if you have a brand messaging problem, why it's worth fixing, and how the sneaky culprit behind fuzzy messaging is the curse of knowledge—a trap that's so easy for consultants and coaches to fall into. This week, we're getting into the fix. Or more accurately, my fix. I'm taking you behind the scenes of my brand positioning and messaging process, which all my clients begin with before we frame their offers, build their websites, or strategize how they will attract and land strategic client engagements. It's my signature process, one I've been honing for nearly 10 years, ever since I first got serious about pivoting my business to work exclusively with consultants and coaches. What makes this process unique is that it's designed by a consultant and coach with 30 years in the industry, and customized for consultants and coaches who are intentional about both their business and their life. It's built to help you attract the right clients, yes, but just as importantly, to build the business that's meant for you, the one that reflects your strengths, passions, and purpose, and supports your life priorities. So if you're at an inflection point in your consulting or coaching business, whether you're starting your first business, building something of your own after relying on referrals or subcontracting, or pivoting focus and finding yourself in that confusing in-between space where you're ready for more but your messaging hasn't caught up... this episode is for you.

In this episode of OnBase, Paul Gibson talks with Tejal Patel about why ABM often falls short in large enterprises and how companies can fix it. Tejal shares how her B2C background shaped her customer-centric approach and explains the key issues she sees inside big tech—misalignment, data quality gaps, siloed teams, and overreliance on ABM as a standalone strategy.She contrasts this with the agility of smaller organizations and outlines practical ways to improve targeting, use intent data, strengthen sales–marketing alignment, and unify brand and demand. This conversation offers clear, actionable advice for anyone trying to make ABM work at scale.Key TakeawaysABM is a tactic, not a standalone strategyTejal argues that ABM only works when paired with brand, awareness, nurture, and customer-centric messaging. Without broader demand creation, ABM becomes narrow and ineffective.Sales and marketing alignment remains the biggest barrierLarge enterprises struggle with global vs. regional disconnects, mismatched KPIs, and long internal approval cycles, slowing execution and creating misfire between strategy and action. Smaller companies excel because they have fewer layers, faster decision-making, and shared prioritization.Data quality is the silent killer of ABMMessy CRM data, fragmented systems, mismatched account naming, and inconsistent scoring models undermine targeting, personalization, and sales handoff. Clean data and agreed lead quality criteria must come first.Intent data only works when paired with first-party signalsGreat ABM prioritizes first-party data, then layers on external intent. Messaging should be mapped to where accounts are in their journey, not just industry segmentation. Audience clusters can be built based on behaviors, not just firmographics.Brand and demand must run in parallelBrand builds trust with the 90% who aren't yet buying; demand captures the 10% who are. Both motions must reinforce each other with consistent messaging across all touchpoints, internal and external.Simplification accelerates performanceTejal shares examples where hundreds of micro-campaigns were consolidated into fewer, audience-grouped programs, leading to clearer measurement, stronger engagement, and faster pipeline.AI will finally unlock true personalization at scale, but only with clean inputsAI can accelerate content, sales enablement, and buying-group messaging, but only when built on a foundation of strategy, quality data, and customer-centric principles. Otherwise, AI simply amplifies the noise.Quotes“Smaller companies succeed because they're aligned, agile, and closer to the spirit of ABM.”Tech recommendationsMiroChatGPTCanvaResource recommendationsThe Rundown AI newsletterLisa Adams (LinkedIn) – insights on AI and modern marketing org designHarvard Business ReviewShout-outsJuskiran Sond, Senior Global Digital ABM Marketing Manager at Riverbed TechnologySuyasha Kale, Senior Paid Social Advertising Manager - Global at TeamViewerBrett Rieser, EMEA & LATAM Growth Marketing, Senior Manager at Palo Alto NetworksAbout the GuestTejal Patel has 25+ years experience in marketing transformation, strategic planning, organisational design & change management.

In this episode from the archives (March 2022), we break down why consistent brand messaging isn't just “nice to have”—it's the backbone of every customer touchpoint you've got. From your first marketing impression to every call, chat, and DM, the message has to match.We dig into how each social platform has its own personality—and why posting regularly on TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook matters if you want to stay relevant. You'll hear why Wendy's nailed their brand voice on Twitter while other companies crashed and burned by trying to be funny when their brand wasn't built for it.We also talk about the danger of “set it and forget it” scheduling tools. Yes, Hootsuite saves time, but if you're not monitoring your replies in real time, you're missing the whole point of social. Engagement has to feel human, aligned with your brand, and consistent across the board.You'll learn how outdated scheduled posts can cause policy conflicts, how employee engagement can strengthen your message, and how your call center, dispatch, and frontline teams all play a role in reinforcing the same story.If you want a brand that feels solid, trustworthy, and unforgettable—your messaging has to stay tight everywhere your customers interact with you.Here's the LinkTree: https://linktr.ee/caffcx

Why are your webinars packed with value but crickets at checkout? You can teach circles around your competition, but if you're not weaving in demand and trust first, you'll still struggle to make sales.  I learned this the hard way—running one webinar where I felt on fire, only to see zero sales… until a random DM popped up hours later saying, "Shut up and take my money." That moment flipped my world. It wasn't my pitch; it was my messaging, my relevancy triggers, and my ability to diagnose their exact problem. Today on the podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on our new AI-powered messaging system by letting you in on Day 2 of our new Messaging Meets AI workshop. We've trained it on 15 years of our most successful launches and 3,000+ students so you can discover why sales actually start the second someone sees your ad—not when you pitch, build all three levels of trust (including trusting their own ability to win with you), teach powerful concepts with metaphors and stories that spark "I can do this", diagnose your audience's daily pain points so they're DMing you first, and use simple AI prompts to pull relevancy triggers and pre-empt objections. Ready to stop giving away free info and start creating real demand? Listen now and learn how to have people begging to buy—before you even open cart.  Did you enjoy this episode?

Two big things are happening in Washington today, and each involves a separate controversial figure. On Capitol Hill, the House is set to vote on closely watched legislation to release the files from the investigation into the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It is far from the first time Epstein has been at the center of activity on the Hill, but President Donald Trump's U-turn to encourage Republicans to vote for the release has taken much of the drama out. At the White House, Trump will welcome Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for the first time since the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. Playbook's Jack Blanchard and White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns walk through what to expect, plus Trump's latest affordability pitch.

Today the house in congress votes on the release of the Epstein files. America seems to be having Epstein fatigue, so let's get this done. Who will vote how? Congressman Biggs chimes in. Affordability it the biggest issue in America, is the Trump administration doing enough to calm American concerns? Los Angeles is a complete mess, and the blame is square on the mayor and the state's governor. Plus, ballroom, will there be a female president, Oreos, and MickeyD's.

Joyful Business Revolution Founder & CEO M. Shannon Hernandez shows that messaging is still at the heart of effectively connecting with your very human customers and prospects. She shares her fascinating journey from teaching 8th graders in Spanish Harlem to helping early stage companies scale through authentic storytelling. A drive for continuous learning is everything. "Your business, your company, your organization is only going to grow as far as you grow yourself." Purpose driven founders are rejecting that growth must be had at all costs. She sees a big hunger for transparency, integrity and ethical marketing that respects people's intelligence, energy and time. Less pain-point manipulation, more focus on excellence. "Do less, but do it better." And through it all, leaders need to embrace three strategic levers: Clarity, Kindness and Joy. This episode has been sponsored by Meter.

Podcast interview marketing is one of the fastest ways for health coaches to grow authority, expand reach, and attract right-fit clients—without living on social media. Strategist Chloe Williamson from Interview Valet explains how to guest on the right shows, borrow trust from vetted hosts, repurpose long-form interviews into evergreen content, and build a campaign aligned to your goals (education, client acquisition, or authority). What You'll Learn Why podcast guesting often outperforms hosting for lead generation and credibility How to pick shows strategically (audience fit, titles/descriptions, host style, discoverability) Research that matters: demographics, geography, trends, and topic data Chloe uses Messaging that converts: overcoming "bragging" reluctance, positioning, and clear offers Evergreen content playbook: turn one 45-minute interview into emails, reels, blogs, ads, and talks Busting the "saturation" myth in health and wellness Guesting without social media: leverage email/newsletters and communities Post-interview promotion that actually moves the needle (and what to ask the host) Setting realistic goals and reverse-engineering your guesting plan Key Topics & Flow Chloe's origin story and why guesting resonates in health & wellness Borrowed trust: how vetted hosts pre-warm their audiences Strategy vs. spaghetti: choosing shows, not just chasing downloads How to talk about yourself without feeling "braggy" Guesting > hosting for client leads (while both can coexist) Evergreen repurposing: interviews → emails, reels, blogs, talks, ads Seasons, replays, and keeping your feed ranking and discoverable "Niche down + niche out": expanding beyond a too-tiny avatar Defeating the oversaturation myth: everyone needs health Next steps: goal setting, outreach, prep, and post-show promotion   Action Steps for Health Coaches Set your primary goal: education/authority, client acquisition, or content creation. Build a show shortlist: audience fit, guest-friendly titles/descriptions, searchable show notes. Develop talk tracks: 3 core stories, 3 actionable tips, 1 clear call-to-action. Pitch with proof: outcomes, case examples, and a tailored angle for each host. Repurpose immediately: pull 5–10 clips/quotes, 1 newsletter, 1 blog, and 3 reels from each interview.   About Chloe Williamson Chloe Williamson is a strategist at Interview Valet, a white-glove podcast interview marketing agency.

What if your best copy didn't come from your head—but from your hips, your heart, or your hilarious inner weirdo? In this playful and powerful conversation, I'm joined by my longtime friend, mentor, and colleague Carly Raemer to talk about writing from the body, not just the brain. Carly is a copywriter, energy worker, and mystic strategist with a gift for saying the thing your audience didn't know they needed to hear—right from the center of their lived experience. In this episode, she reveals how she tunes into the energetic field of her clients, writes through their hands and eyes, and uses body-based awareness to create copy that's funny, felt, and wildly effective. Whether you're drowning in your own overthinking or stuck staring at a blank screen, this episode offers a new way in. A way that starts in your body, not a headline formula. A way that trusts your truth more than any algorithm. Inside this episode: Why writing from your head alone leads to numb, "off" copy The energetic practice Carly uses to attune to her audience How she speaks to the felt experience of her readers, not just their pain points A real-time somatic exploration of how your belly, heart, and throat each "speak" differently The role of humor, desire, and even erotica in finding your true voice What to do when your business writing feels flat, formulaic, or like it's missing you This episode is a masterclass in writing honest, embodied copy—and it's also a reminder that you're not broken if writing feels hard. You might just be trying to write from the wrong part of yourself.

Are you still hand-crafting every email, ad, and social post? I was, too, until our in-house AI beat me at my own game. Last week I ran a blind test, feeding our AI and my own brain the same ad prompts. I thought I'd crush it. Guess what? AI cut our cost-per-lead in half and I was left eating its digital dust. It blew my mind because I used to hate AI. Now I'm hooked. Today on the podcast I'm sharing recordings from our brand-new "Messaging Meets AI" workshop. You'll learn exactly how we built AI to leverage relevancy triggers that stop the scroll, write ads delivering $7–$9 leads instead of $15–$20, craft three content types that explode engagement, produce high-converting copy, and insert mid-video calls-to-action that drive follows. If you've been experimenting with AI—or completely avoiding it—this episode will transform how you create (and sell with) content.  Tune in now to find out what happens when you combine proven messaging formulas with trained AI. It's time to let the bots do the heavy lifting. Did you enjoy this episode? I'd love it if you'd share it on Instagram and tag me @iambrandonlucero!
