Kansas City 3, was it criminal or the result of bad decisions? Welcome to another gripping episode of 'Police off the Cuff,' where real crime is dissected from the front lines by those who know it best. I'm your host Bill, alongside my esteemed colleague Mike Geary, as we dive into a perplexing case that has Kansas City and the nation on edge. In today's episode, titled "Kansas City 3: was it criminal or the result of bad decisions?", we're unraveling the tangled threads of a tragedy involving three adult men—Clayton McGeeney, Ricky Johnson, and David Harrington—who lost their lives under mysterious circumstances. We ask the tough questions: Was this a terrible outcome of personal choice, or is there more to this story that meets the eye? The case, known as the "Kansas City three," saw these men attending a football watch party that ended in disaster, with drugs playing a fatal role in their demise. With speculations of fentanyl-laced narcotics and the tragic result of an unintentional overdose, the community and authorities are left grappling with the consequences and legal implications. As we dissect the fine line between accident and homicide, we'll consider the critical aspects of the investigation—from lividity and body positioning to the toxicology reports. With expertise from retired NYPD sergeant and law professor Mike Geary and insights from our chat participants, we'll explore the harsh reality of drug use, the dangers of fentanyl in street drugs, and the profound impact on the families left behind. It's a complex tapestry of personal responsibility, legal challenges, and the quest for justice. So as the world listens and the families demand answers, join us on 'Police off the Cuff' for a candid look at this harrowing case. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/otcpod1/support

This week we check out another show that watches an old TV show and breaks it down one episode at a time. Does it include people from the show? Nope. Do the hosts have any expertise in creating entertainment? Definitely not. Should adults be enjoying a children's show they watched as tweens? I won't answer that one, I don't want to piss off most of the internet. Mike Geary is on to laugh along with the two hosts who can't stop making jokes about 9/11. But that's just the start. We then check out the official DabbleCon song created by Tony Muskrat and El Horrible, listen to Kevin Brennan call Chad every insult he can think of, hear Opie's well-informed takes on politics and science, respond to Patty Brokenskull's latest response to us, and try our best to catch an alien. https://linktr.ee/blindmikeproject We're live in Philly on April 22nd with the Dick Show.

Thanks to Patty C Cups I was informed that Brendan Schaub and Chris D'Elia have rebranded the show they used to do with Theo Von. I went into this one wondering who I would hate more and was surprised that Erik Griffin gives them both a run for their money. This show is shockingly unfunny. Mike Geary, aka Blind Mike, joins us once again to try to figure out if there are people who actually like Brendan Schaub unironically. Then we chat about Stuttering John, Richard Ojeda, Chad Zumock, and play another round of To Catch An Alien starring Tommy from MSCS Media. Oh, and at the very end we get a quick Patrick Michael update. He's not happy. https://linktr.ee/blindmikeproject Tickets for DabbleCon – http://watplive.com/ Support us, get bonus episodes, Vic and Hannah pics, and watch live every Saturday and most Wednesdays: http://bit.ly/watp-patreon https://watp.supercast.tech/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Jumpers Jump is a show hosted by two young guys who have terrible mic technique, can't speak very well, and are wildly ill-informed. Also, Jumpers Jump is a hugely successful show with millions of viewers. Those two things don't seem to make sense until you understand the power of the number eleven. Mike Geary joins us once again with breaking news about Harvey Weinstein. Then we hear the most exciting voicemail ever, one of the best Chad Zumock song parodies, a very confusing interview by Tommy from MSCS Media, and a Beer on the Balcony from October that we missed. blindmike.net Tickets for DabbleCon – http://watplive.com/ Support us, get bonus episodes, Vic pics, and watch live every Saturday and most Wednesdays: http://bit.ly/watp-patreon https://watp.supercast.tech/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Almost everyone now talks about how critical Magnesium is for us, Dr. Hyman, Andrew Huberman, all of the health industry authorities, and doctors. There is a long list of symptoms and diseases that can be eased or even treated with magnesium. In fact, way back magnesium was a critical element. Doctors used magnesium for all kinds of conditions, from arrhythmia to constipation, to preeclampsia, and even seizures. For some reason, now doctors use it as a last resort and put patients on high doses of Magnesium if they are at risk of premature labor, seizure, and other very serious conditions.It's really essential to our health and our wellbeing. This is a huge problem because magnesium deficiency can increase your risk of all diseases and keep you from performing optimally. We shouldn't wait until we are Magnesium deficient!And even more critically, there's not just one type of magnesium. There are seven different types that we need in order to ensure both our health and vitality remain strong.  Fortunately, BiOptimizers has the solution. Their Magnesium Breakthrough supplement is the only product on the market with all seven types of magnesium. And it's specially formulated to reach every tissue in your body to provide maximum health benefits.

There was a time when attractive ladies who like to show people their buttholes didn't have many options. Thankfully, we now have OnlyFans. What type of women are on OnlyFans?

That's definitely not the best part. Also, Patty Brokenskull dropped another new episode and we learn why we took a break from podcasting. Good news, looks like he's back for good!

You've likely heard that email marketing is either dead or dying - it's not true! People use their email regularly - don't you want to get your message in front of them? On this episode of Inspired Insider, you'll hear from business leader and renowned marketer - Justin Goff. In his conversation with Jeremy, Justin opens up about why he is so vulnerable in his emails, how to connect with an email list, what it was like to exit his business, success stories, and much more! Have pen and paper ready - you don't want to miss a minute of this powerful episode featuring Justin's story!  Have you ever had someone open up and share something personal with you that you never thought they would? Imagine getting an email explaining how someone's mother wouldn't support or encourage their career - that's what Justin Goff did! While opening up to thousands of strangers via an email sounds crazy (It is) it is also incredibly effective. As a result of that deeply personal email - Justin saw a huge increase in the engagement he had with his email list. The lesson is this - vulnerability can go a long way!  On the other side of the coin - some will be turned off by intensely personal stories. Justin shared a story about suffering from Crohn's Disease, which involved descriptions of struggling with painful bowel movements. As you can imagine - that wasn't the cup of tea for everyone on Justin's email list! The mixed and somewhat negative feedback that Justin received from that email didn't slow him down one bit. Today, Justin is committed to being honest, raw, and real with his following.  Have you ever found yourself struggling with fulfillment in your life? What have you tried to fill that void? Have you found anything that works? Business leaders all over the world struggle every day to find their life's purpose beyond what they do and what they can produce. If you've ever struggled with your self-worth - you aren't alone! Struggling to find meaning in his life - Justin set out on a quest to learn from other leaders who have had similar challenges and made it out the other side. What Justin learned changed the course of his life for the better! Here is a hint - Justin's turnaround didn't involve making more money.  When you get the chance to learn from a marketing expert like Justin - you don't take it for granted. In his conversation with Jeremy, Justin was kind enough to reveal his take on marketing strategies and methods that work and ones that need to fade away. Here are three upsell approaches that Justin says work every time.  More of the same - where you offer an increased amount of the same product.  Results faster - offering a product that will fast track the results they are looking for.  Done for you - proven and prepackaged methods that deliver results.  If you'd like to go deeper with the significant insights and resources that Justin discussed with Jeremy, make sure to check out his website and apply to his email list!

After a full day of funnel hacking over 300+ funnels, I want to walk you through what funnel hacking is again and make sure you’re doing it right. On this episode Russell talks about the difference between stealing and pulling inspiration while building funnels. Here are some of the interesting things to look forward to in this episode: Why copying is stealing, but modeling and taking inspiration is not. How taking inspiration from several different sources and not copying anything is exactly is the proper way to funnel hack. And what Brendon Burchard said about how he avoids accidentally taking other people’s ideas. So listen here to find out the difference in the right way to funnel hack, and the wrong way to funnel hack. ---Transcript--- What’s up everybody?

Today, once again I am marketing in my Tesla and it makes me laugh because all my Tesla listening followers all messaged me yesterday congratulating me on my Tesla, so thank you. Now I know who you all are. With that said, let’s jump into the theme song, and then come back. I got something fun to share with you. Alright so yesterday was so much fun. Yesterday was funnel hacking day, but not like a normal funnel hacking day. It was like an intense, expensive funnel hacking day. So I’m working on, we have an event this summer called unlock the secrets, it’s for all my Two Comma Club X coaching members and my inner circle members and also their families. So it’s the first time I’ve ever done an event where parents and children can come. So it’s going to be really, really fun. There’s a lot of work going into it. But one thing I wanted to do as I’m teaching different funnels and things like that, is I wanted some examples and swipe files. I’ve been building out the swipe file in trello with all my favorite funnels in there. And I’ve been doing kind of slowly for a little while and yesterday I was like I’m going to spend the whole day and go hardcore on this. So I basically, in trello you can have different columns and then in the column has different cards. So I made a column for every funnel type. So it’s like Lead Funnels, Cart Funnels, Book Funnels, Presentation Funnels, Via Cell Funnels, Challenge Funnels, all the different types of funnels. Then underneath there I made a card for every funnel I like. And then I would go and in the past I’ve taken screen shots of here’s page one, page two, page three, so you can kind of see them really easily in this trello board. So what I did yesterday is I recruited two people on my team to help make this possible. I had Melanie who became the funnel purchaser, the funnel buyer, and then Leon who became the funnel screen shotter. So what happened is I would go through and find my favorite funnel, I’d post the front page link in a new trello, and then Melanie would go in and she would go through and buy it and buy everything, and then get the links for every single page in the funnel, post them inside of trello. And then Leon comes behind her and takes screen shots of every single page and posts them in there. And it’s been interesting because typically I geek out on funnels. I’ll want to funnel hack something and I’ll buy two funnels and it’ll take me the entire day because I’m reading everything, and looking at and studying and nerding out. But Melanie, she’s immune to funnels so far. We’re working on her, but as of today she’s definitely immune to funnels. So she just buys without thinking twice. She just goes to the pages and I think conservatively she spent over $10,000 in funnels yesterday. There was one offer where she’s like, “This is a $5000 offer. You want me to buy that?” I’m like, “Nah, let’s don’t buy that one, but buy all the rest.’ So I’m going to be getting in the mail this week thousands of rand-o things. From nail polish, to kidnapping board game kits, to anyway, so many random funnels. So much fun. So anyway, that’s kind of what’s been happening. But with that said, we were able to funnel hack yesterday, probably about 300 or so funnels. And the ones I loaded in there are probably close to a thousand now. So I’m done for the day, she’s going to be going in there and keep on funnel hacking and then Leon’s going to be taking pictures, and then we’ll have this huge data base of every amazing funnel that I love, the pictures and the screen shots, and it’s going to be so much fun. So I am pumped and excited and I cannot wait to get all the weird crap in the mail over the next week or two, of what we actually bought. So that’s kind of fun. A couple of things I want to talk about. Number one is funnel hacking. I’m curious how many of you guys actually still funnel hack. It was interesting, I went to my Two Comma Club X member’s and I said, “Hey, I want you guys to submit funnels that you look at, your favorite funnels so I can go and funnel hack them.” And I got a lot of really, really good ones back from a very few amount of people, which made me think for most of them, they haven’t been funnel hacking. They don’t know what funnels they like. How are you supposed to create something if you don’t know what you like? I know exactly, when people are like, when I have my bat meetings with my team, I’m like, “Okay, we’re going to build a funnel.” They’re like, “Cool, what do you want it to look like?” I’m like, “I want it to look like this one and this one, with a twist of this one, and a little bit of this one.” I don’t just create from scratch. That’s what morons do. Come on you guys. If you want to, this is art. There’s a book I just bought the other day that said like, actually I don’t know the title. The title is something like, “Great Artists Steal.” And I haven’t read the book yet, so I don’t know exactly what it says, but I’m assuming it has something to do with that, right. We don’t create from scratch, we look at a whole bunch of examples of amazingness and then we build something off the back of that. So it kind of blew my mind that there was only, I don’t know, maybe a dozen people that had any funnels to even post out of a group of almost a thousand people. I’m like, this is so crazy to me that nobody’s been funnel hacking. Nobody’s got like their favorite funnels, like at queue. I have links to all my funnels so that when I’m building something I can get inspiration. I say, okay I’m doing a webinar. Let me look at like 10, 15, or 20 different webinar funnels as I’m building this one out to get ideas for looks, color pallets, ideas, hooks, headlines, and ways they did things, and how they did the call to action, and all those kind of things. I’m doing a squeeze funnel or a lead page funnel, or a lead funnel, whatever you want to call it, to generate leads. I look at a dozen or two or three dozen to get ideas. I think a lot of times what happens is that, and this is the borderline between funnel hacking and stealing and this drives me crazy. For example, we launched the Expert Secrets book. And I took inspiration from like 50 different funnels to build that one. I spent a ton of time and energy. Same thing with the copy, I studied a whole bunch of free plus shipping book funnels and things like that to get ideas for the hooks and the angles and the copy. I did all this research and I plugged it in and we built this amazing funnel. And within an hour of us doing it, I see all these people like, ‘I funnel hacked Russell’s funnel. Here’s the share funnel link.” And they’re giving away my exact funnel with the same colors and the same everything. And I’m like, you missed it. Funnel hacking is not, look at something and then copy it exactly. That’s not how this works. Now there’s like 800 people with a funnel that looks exactly like mine. So what am I doing? I’m re-changing it. The reason why we spend time on a funnel, a funnel I’m modeling stuff. I’m looking for proven things in a funnel. Like layout, structure, concepts, I’m looking for those things when I’m funnel hacking. I’m not stealing word for word, stealing the colors, stealing the headline, which for some reason that’s what people think funnel hacking is and it’s not. That’s illegal and immoral and evil and bad, and that’s not what I’m talking about. Funnel hacking is about looking at a whole bunch of stuff and pulling inspiration. I heard somebody once say that if you copy from one person it’s plagiarism, but if you copy a whole bunch of people it’s research. That’s my belief on it. You’re looking at a whole bunch of stuff and then creating your own from that. I’m looking at all these different ideas as inspiration to model, but then I go and create something new, something better. And this is one of the main reasons why that’s so important. It’s because marketing is all about pattern interrupts. Do you guys understand this? The reason why something works really good is because there’s the pattern and then I come and interrupt that pattern. So you’re on facebook scrolling through the thing, and it’s like for example, meme videos. I remember when meme videos first came out like two years ago. Nobody was doing them, and Brandon and Kaelin were one of the first to really do it and hit it hard, and their meme videos were killing it. And then guess what happened? Everybody saw their meme videos and they’re like, “Oh meme videos.” And then their software came out and they’re like, “We create meme videos.” And it blew up and now everybody on the planet has meme videos and guess what happens? When Brandon and Kaelin came out they interrupted the pattern. They shifted it and everyone saw it and they’re like, “What is this?” and they captured their attention so they clicked on it. But then when everybody does it, you’re not interrupting the pattern, it becomes the pattern. It becomes the pattern and then it doesn’t work anymore. The same thing with hand sketched videos. Vince Palko was the dude who did the very first hand sketched video online, he did it for Mike Geary in the fitness space for Truth about Ads. And he did this video and I saw the stats about six months later. I was at a mastermind retreat with Mike Geary and he’s like, ‘Hey, yeah, Vince Palko’s the dude who hand sketched my sales video and look at the conversion.” And it was like 300% increase in conversion, something crazy. I think it was higher than that. But it was this huge increase. And I was like, “Oh my gosh.” And that was the first one I’d seen. And then what happened? Everyone in the fitness industry is like, “Ah, new videos.{inaudible}” and all the sudden the next thing you new, every single video the fitness space was a hand sketched video. But I saw Geary’s first so I contacted Vince and I’m like, “Hey, I want to do one in my market.” Because no one had done it yet, right. So there was a pattern of like, everyone was doing these Power Point VSL’s and it became the pattern so everyone was doing it, so it stopped working, and stopped becoming effective. So I was like, “I want to do the interrupt.” So I hired Vince to do a hand sketched video for us, for the original Dotcom Secrets Local webinar. We used that, and boom, it became the pattern interrupt and it worked so good. And that was the funnel, man, if you guys have heard my One Funnel Away story, that was the funnel that got me out of the brinks of bankruptcy and gave me the ability to pay off the IRS and a bunch of other craziness, because it was the pattern interrupt that grabbed people like, “What is this?” and it worked. But then, guess what happened? Everyone’s like, “Oh look what Russell’s doing.” And they all got hand sketched videos and now it became the pattern and then it doesn’t work nearly as effectively. So what you’re looking at with funnel hacking is you’re looking at the pattern. And there’s elements of the pattern that are essential. So understand that this is the model, this is the structure, this is the layout, this is the flow, this is how it works. Then your job as the artist, as the marketer, say, “Okay, this is the pattern. How do I interrupt it?” and the interrupt can be something as simple as the headline, a color tweak, a way you do your video, things like that.  If you saw the affiliatebootcamp.com you guys notice the pattern interrupt there. It’s literally almost the same concept as 30days.com. You look at both pages and you’re like, “Oh, these pages look almost the same.” I funnel hacked myself. In fact, if you look at the funnel structure, it’s literally the same. The upsell flow, everything is the same. But we needed a different hook because that’s a pattern interrupt. So affiliate boot camp versus 30days, it’s a different hook. Then I needed a different, obviously the color pallet is different. One’s blue and everything, and the other one is green and more army like. But then I needed an interrupt for the video. If the video was the same, I sat in the same spots, said the same words, said the same thing, it wouldn’t work. So I gotta interrupt the pattern. So what I do then is I did the video with the cards. So if you go to affiliatebootcamp.com and look at the top you’ll notice I did these cards, and it’s a pattern interrupt and it’s killing it right now. And I guarantee what’s going to happen is all of you guys are going to do card videos now, so there’s going to be a million of them and it won’t work anymore. But I interrupted the pattern with that thing. So what your job to do as a marketer, when you’re funnel hacking and you’re looking at stuff, is you’re looking at stuff not just in your lens of like,  ‘I’m a dentist, therefore I will look at other dental funnels.” Look at all these funnels in different markets and see it. Guess how I got the idea for the hand sketched videos. A couple of years ago my wife and I were watching YouTube flipping through stuff and we saw this kid with his hand, with these cards. And I was like, “That’s interesting.’ I clicked play and started watching it. And it was this kid telling a story about how he was dying and he told his whole story through cards. He didn’t say a word, just held up card after card. And I sat there, it was like a 25 or 30 minute video. And I watched the whole thing with my wife and we bawled our eyes out, and I think the kid ended up dying and this video had gone crazy viral. And I was like in this emotional state where I was like, I sat there for 30 minutes waiting to see, reading each card to pull me through the story. And I was like, “That is powerful.” And that night I was just like emotionally messed up. And the next morning I woke up and I said, “Holy cow, look how that triggered me.” I had to read the whole thing and I couldn’t stop reading it. So that day, literally that day I was like, “That is a pattern interrupt.” So we did our very first hand card video, which also happened to be for affiliatebootcamp.com, but it was one from 8 years ago, whenever we did the original one. And after that time, a whole bunch of people knocked me off, did hand card videos, and then I stopped and then everybody else forgot about it. And then we brought it back. So the other thing nice about pattern interrupts is you, something that is the interrupt, then it becomes the pattern, then people forget about it, then it becomes an interrupt again in the future. Anyway, so that’s, I want you guys just understanding these concepts of funnel hacking. So often we think it’s just “Oh I must find a funnel, I will copy it.” No, that is not what I said ever, ever, ever. That is unethical, immoral and wrong. And it’s stupid too because it’s not going to make you more money. It’s looking at the pattern, so I find the funnels that work and looking at the pattern. I keep the structure of the pattern. I keep the structure so it’s like, I know this layout works. The logo here, the button here, the box here, the structure will remain the same. But now I gotta come in and add my art. So I’m changing color pallets, changing things like that. I change the copy, and then I’m looking for a pattern interrupt. So what is it? Is it hand sketch videos, card videos, no video, different headline, a bold headline, a picture of me flexing in my mankini? I don’t know. I would never do that. But something that becomes the pattern interrupt.Every single ad is an interrupt. I saw Dean Graziosi with his book a while ago, lighting his book on fire and I was like, “oh my gosh, that’s a pattern interrupt. He did it in his market, which is like personal development, I’m going to do it in the marketing nerd market.” So I lit my book on fire, and that ad did awesome for a long time. It worked. And now, that one didn’t catch on.  No wonder you guys wouldn’t burn your product, which is probably good. I do know Stephen Larsen last week, went and blew up his product, it was crazy. You’ll see it soon in a funnel, I’m sure. But do you guys get what I’m saying though? Anyway, I love funnel hacking, it’s really, really fun. But it’s not stealing. It’s getting ideas to pull inspiration from. So when I know the next time I’m pulling a webinar, I log into my trello board, I look at the 400 webinars I funnel hacked and I start looking at the images. I’m looking for ideas, I’m looking for patterns, and I don’t do it where I open up the screen and then I open up Clickfunnels next to it, and I’m like copying. I don’t do it that way because it’s plagiarism. In fact, I was talking to Brendon Burchard, it was interesting. He said that when he has an event coming up, “I can’t listen to any Tony Robbins thing for at least 6 months before my event happens because I get heavily influenced. I’ll hear Tony saying stuff and I’ll like it. And I’ll be onstage talking and all the sudden this thing will come out and it’s like, ugh, that was Tony’s thing. That was not my thing. I know that how our brains work, is that we model and we see things we like to pull inspiration. If I listen to Tony too closely to stepping onstage, then I start saying Tony things and that’s not what I want. I want this to be my stuff so I have to stop listening to it.” And it’s the same thing with funnel hacking. I don’t open up, you know, Jim Edward’s webinar funnel and copy thing for thing for thing. Because then I’m copying and it’s not going to work. And it’s just like a not cool thing to do. Instead what I do is I go back and say “Okay, let me look at 5, 10, 15..” I look at all these things and I get ideas, I get inspiration and then I close the board, and then I start building something. Now I’m not copying anything, but I’m pulling inspiration. I did a bunch of research ahead of time, and now I’m like, “OH I remember this part. I liked that. And I like this and I like this.” And now I create something new, genuinely new. And that is how you grow in your market. That’s how funnel hacking can and should be used. So I hope that helps. Alright, well I’ve been in my Tesla driving around in circles for the last 14 minutes as I’ve been talking with you guys. So I’m going to go drive to the office now and get started because funnel hacking day is done and today I gotta be working on the Traffic Secrets book. I have to get chapter four done today. It’s halfway done. I have to get done today or else I will be beaten by my publisher who gave me a deadline. It also is crazy, this is the first time I’ve used like a traditional publisher and they, it was so funny because we did the whole book deal, and I didn’t read the contract because I’m not a contract guy, but I had Dave read through it and then Dave came over he’s like, “Did you know they’re giving you an advance?” I’m like, “What’s an advance?” He’s like, “That’s where they pay you before you write the book.” I was like, “Really? That’s the coolest thing ever.” Anyway, so I asked them, I was like, “This is cool.” He’s like, “Yeah, well most people they take the advance so that way they can take a year off and write a book. You’re kind of insane because you’re running a business and a million other things. But we…” oh, my kids turned on the whoopee cushion fart on the Tesla. That’s not me farting, that’s the whoopee cushion turn signal. Oh my Tesla drivers know what I’m talking about. That is embarrassing. Anyway, my kids are dead to me now. What was I talking about? They gave me this advance, right. So that was pretty cool. And they send me this money and I’m like, “This is awesome.” And then with that it’s like the chains, it’s like, “We gave you money, here’s your deadline.” I’m like, “What?” Anyway, it’s kind of funny. So I gotta write my book because I contractually have to now. But I’m also excited. And this turned out really good. I spent a lot of time in the RV on the way to Lake Powell last week and on the way home writing. My wife is amazing, she drove while I was typing it up. And man, it’s coming along really, really good. At the end of chapter four I’ll be done with the first section, which is, I’m excited for it. Alright, that’s all I got. I hope you guys are doing amazing. And I will talk to you all again soon. Bye everybody.

What I remembered about business while wrestling with my 9 year old twins this weekend. On today's episode Russell talks about wrestling and how beating your opponent requires that you have an angle and why business works the same way. Here are some cool things in this episode: Why you need to have a different angle in your business to have success. How you can find an angle in your business to beat others in the same market. And how all that relates to funnel hacking. So listen below to find out why you need to have the right angle to differentiate your business and have fast success. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone! This is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing In Your Car or Marketing In My Car or something like that. Hey, everyone. So, I was wondering today. How many of you guys actually listen while you're in your car? Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm the dude in the car and you guys are all marketing at your house or in your office. I don't know. But anyway, I appreciate you guys been on today. Hope things are going amazing for you and your companies. And I've got a bunch of fun stuff to talk to you about. Last night or not – it was actually Sunday, I was sitting around after church thinking about stuff and I started mapping out ideas for cool things I want to share with you guys. So I've got a list of cool stuff to share with you guys. So, that's my game plan for the next few days. Today, what I want to share or talk to you guys about a little bit, and hopefully this will help you guys when you're thinking about positioning your products and your services and even your brand as a whole. And kind of the back story behind this, most of you guys at this point know that I'm a wrestler. I wrestled through high school. I was a state champ. I took second place in the country. I was an all-American, ended up wrestling at BYU until they cut the wrestling program that went to Boise State and I became one of the top – I think the highest I was ranked was 14th so top 14 wrestlers in the country. And I trained for Olympics for a little while. In fact, we built a whole Olympic Training Center. Anyway, recently I built my own wrestling room at my backyard. So I'm obsessed with it to say the least. But anyways, it has been fun. As I built my own wrestling room, I've been working with my kids. Teaching them wrestling…. I got some jiu-jitsu guys coming over, teaching them some wrestling and it has been really fun. So it was kind of fun because it has kind of given me a chance to kind of re-remember a lot of the fundamentals of wrestling, of things that we take for granted because we just do them instinctively. But you start trying to break it down for someone else like, “Oh, this is why you do that and this is how you do that,” and things like that. So in wrestling, one of the really interesting things when you're wrestling someone, if you guys watched a wrestling match before, people come out and they come like head to head typically and it looks like the heads are smashed together and they're trying to punch each other in the face, trying to get in on each other's legs, right? So from the outside looking at it, you probably don't know what's happening. You're like, “Oh, that's kind of weird.” But if you look at what the goal of a wrestler is, like when we're getting in there and we're tying up, and we have our head to head and we're pushing and pulling and moving people around, our entire goal of that is we're trying to get an angle. OK? We're trying to get somebody to step so that we've now got an angle we can attack them from. I know that it's very difficult if not impossible for me just to shoot directly like through somebody. It's really hard. The way that if I want to take somebody down, I've got to move and move and move until I can get them take a little step and then I can take an angle. And as soon as I got an angle, instead of going head to head, I'm going to head to like me going through their ear type thing. I have an angle. Now, it opens up the whole world to me. Now, I can actually get it on their legs. I can take them down. But it's a hundred percent – it all requires me getting an angle like if I want to takedown on somebody, it's just how it works. And so, I was thinking about that as I was showing my kids, like I was showing Bowen, one of my twins, like we've been doing like these things where he pushed and we're doing inside control and trying to like get in good position, I told him how like I just want him to push and pull. I was like, “Watch. When you pull right here, what happens is I step and then check it out. Now, we're not head to head. Now, you've got a little angle on me. Now, it opens up a shot where you can actually get on my leg and you can take me down.” And so for wrestling, that's the whole point is I'm in there beating the trash out of the other dude's head trying to move him all with a hope that I can get a little bit of an angle. And as soon as I get that angle, as soon as it opens up, boom! Takedown's there and I can score. All right. So there is the metaphor. So, how does that relate to business? OK? So in business, I see so many people where when they say, “Hey, I'm going to be in this business or this market.” They pick what they want it to be. And then I think part of it is a disservice that I've done because I talk a lot about funnel hacking. So they say, “OK, this guy has got this.” And they go and they make the exact same thing. Now, what just happened now that you got this new business? You've just stepped up and you're head to head with someone. You got the exact same product, exact same offer, exact same everything as these guys. OK? And that's going to make it difficult. I'm not saying you can't be successful. OK? There are some people – like for example, this week is actually the world tournament in Las Vegas for wrestling and there's an Olympic champ named Jordan Burroughs who has got the best double leg I've ever seen in my life. And he can just plow through everybody like he's so dominant. Like this dude does box jumps higher than his head. He's got the strongest legs and hips and he just can plow through anybody. He doesn't even need an angle. Just boom! He's just taken you out, right? But for average humans and the majority of people, we got to have an angle, right? And so, the same thing for you, if you go head to head with someone, you have the exact same thing and you funnel hack them exactly, what just happened? Now, you're going up against someone else who if you funnel hack someone well, you're going to get some perfect competition and you can't – this could be hard for you to score to make money. And so, what I want you guys thinking about a little bit is the angle. What's your angle? What makes what you do different than what everybody else is doing? Okay? When I'm funnel hacking someone, I'm looking for a process. I'm looking for price points. I'm looking for things like that. I'm looking for layout. But as soon as I figure that out, my next goal is how do I make mine different or better or more unique or what's my angle? What makes me – why is there a purpose for me to exist in this market that I'm stepping into? I got a friend. His name is Mike Lovitch and Mike is one of the smartest dudes I've ever met. He owns a company called RealDose and a bunch of other things. He owned a company called Hypnosis Network. I think he may still own that. I don't know. But he was the one when we trying to create weight loss offer back in the day and I was doing what I kind of do. I was like, “OK, here's one that's successful. Let's model it.” And he kind of made this really good point to me. He said, “Every market is kind of like its own little ecosystem.” And if you look at an ecosystem, there's like – let's say it's weight loss. There is Mike Geary, he owns The Truth About Abs. Then over here is so and so and they own high fat. And over here, so and so, they own low fat. And over here is – you see these ecosystems, this little world. And if you come in and you got exact same thing with somebody else, suddenly, you're competing with them and if they've got a bunch of partners, now you're competition to everybody, and nobody is going to let you in the cool kids' crowd. If you can come in and look around, look at the ecosystem and see where everybody is at and then figure out what's not being served? What's the message or the thing or the product or the service that nobody else has done or at least nobody else has done well? And that's how you find your angle. There you get it and you find that spot. And now, you look at all these other people in your ecosystem. Instead of you becoming head on head and direct competitors with them, because you've got an angle, now you've opened up partnerships with all of them. So, all of your potential competitors all become your potential partners. And that's a big key with this. So I want you guys thinking about that today, just really figuring out like what's your reason for existence in your ecosphere? The market you picked, where are you different? Why should someone care that you exist? And if you can't answer that, you need to start thinking about it more because right now, you're going head to head like I would in a wrestling match. And until I find that angle, I got to push and pull and move and just grind this guy until I can get a little bit of an angle, find my spot in the ecosystem and then boom. As soon as I do that, that's when growth explodes. That's when you start having tons of success very, very quickly is by finding that angle, finding the difference in your world, in your ecosystem, in your market and then blowing that up and exploiting it. That's where you have success quickly. So I want you guys thinking about that because I think it's really kind of the next evolution of funnel hacking. It's not just – funnel hacking is all about finding all those pieces, the proven success road model. Then the second step is now you coming back and saying, “Now, OK. What's my angle? What makes me different than everybody else? Why should I exist?” That's what you really got to start thinking about. So, I want to put that in your head today. I was thinking about when we launched ClickFunnels, out there in the market, there was a bunch of other people doing stuff similar. We had LeadPages, we had OptimizePress, we had Unbound and a bunch of different things. And so – in fact, our initial thing when we first started, Todd, my business partner in ClickFunnels, he was like, “Oh, we can clone ClickFunnels in a weekend. Like that's the easiest. Like I can literally, in a weekend we can have our LeadPages. We can literally clone LeadPages in a weekend and we could be going head to head with them.” OK, that's cool. But now, we are like direct competitors like there's no differentiation. There's no – all these other things we missed. How do we – like what's our angle? What makes us different? What do we want to be? What do we want to be different? How do we – how can we serve this market better than anyone else has in a different way? And now, it's kind of – from those questions and from that conversation is where ClickFunnels was born. So that is my question for you. I want you to look around your ecosphere, the market that you're in or the market that you want to be in and let me know why you exist, why people should care about you. What's your angle? What's different? Because as soon as you figure that out, as soon as you figure out than angle, as long as it is a good angle, sometimes I get an angle on somebody that puts me in bad position then they take me down. That's not good either. You don't want a bad angle. As soon as you get the right angle, that's when you can score, that's when you can start growing your company quickly. And I'm sure it's the same in most sports. I always think wrestling is the best, and it is. But I think most sports, I played football for a while. I played basketball. Like all those sports are the same thing, it's all about angles. Like if you don't have the angle, you're going straight on, it's hard to compete. But as soon as you figure out the angle, it changes everything. So, that's the message. That's the moral for today. Start thinking through that because that's going to help you guys to grow and differentiate yourself from everybody else. All right. With that said, I am almost to the office. I've got an amazing day today. We got some cool stuff happening. I'm working on the ClickFunnels 2.0 re-launch which is turning out so exciting, so amazing. I've spent all night last night building out new affiliate center for ClickFunnels inside of ClickFunnels, which is exciting. If you guys haven't used the backpack plugin inside of ClickFunnels, it's pretty awesome. So we built out a whole affiliate center. And this weekend, I also went and I built out all my autoresponder sequences inside of Actionetics for all the DotComSecrets side of the business. Then today and tomorrow, I'll be building them out inside of the ClickFunnels side. So, pretty exciting. I'm having a lot of fun with it. I'm excited to be able to share Actionetics with you guys because it is amazing. If you ever look in the emails that have come out over the last three days from me, those are all ClickFunnels emails. And look how amazing they look, except for an iMac or was it Apple Mail? Apple Mail, out formatting is off. But everywhere else, we look amazing. So we'll get there. But I think you guys are excited to be able to play with it and see it. And you'll see how we've taken the concept of autoresponders and then got our angle on like why is ours different, why is it better, how does our tool help you dominate people more than anybody else's? So you will see, my friends, you will see. Anyway, that's it for today you guys. Have an awesome day. Go out there figure out your angle and let's make some more money, serve some more people and have an awesome day. Thanks everybody!

What I remembered about business while wrestling with my 9 year old twins this weekend. On today’s episode Russell talks about wrestling and how beating your opponent requires that you have an angle and why business works the same way. Here are some cool things in this episode: Why you need to have a different angle in your business to have success. How you can find an angle in your business to beat others in the same market. And how all that relates to funnel hacking. So listen below to find out why you need to have the right angle to differentiate your business and have fast success. ---Transcript--- Hey everyone! This is Russell Brunson and welcome to Marketing In Your Car or Marketing In My Car or something like that. Hey, everyone. So, I was wondering today. How many of you guys actually listen while you’re in your car? Maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m the dude in the car and you guys are all marketing at your house or in your office. I don’t know. But anyway, I appreciate you guys been on today. Hope things are going amazing for you and your companies. And I’ve got a bunch of fun stuff to talk to you about. Last night or not – it was actually Sunday, I was sitting around after church thinking about stuff and I started mapping out ideas for cool things I want to share with you guys. So I’ve got a list of cool stuff to share with you guys. So, that’s my game plan for the next few days. Today, what I want to share or talk to you guys about a little bit, and hopefully this will help you guys when you’re thinking about positioning your products and your services and even your brand as a whole. And kind of the back story behind this, most of you guys at this point know that I’m a wrestler. I wrestled through high school. I was a state champ. I took second place in the country. I was an all-American, ended up wrestling at BYU until they cut the wrestling program that went to Boise State and I became one of the top – I think the highest I was ranked was 14th so top 14 wrestlers in the country. And I trained for Olympics for a little while. In fact, we built a whole Olympic Training Center. Anyway, recently I built my own wrestling room at my backyard. So I’m obsessed with it to say the least. But anyways, it has been fun. As I built my own wrestling room, I’ve been working with my kids. Teaching them wrestling…. I got some jiu-jitsu guys coming over, teaching them some wrestling and it has been really fun. So it was kind of fun because it has kind of given me a chance to kind of re-remember a lot of the fundamentals of wrestling, of things that we take for granted because we just do them instinctively. But you start trying to break it down for someone else like, “Oh, this is why you do that and this is how you do that,” and things like that. So in wrestling, one of the really interesting things when you’re wrestling someone, if you guys watched a wrestling match before, people come out and they come like head to head typically and it looks like the heads are smashed together and they’re trying to punch each other in the face, trying to get in on each other’s legs, right? So from the outside looking at it, you probably don’t know what’s happening. You’re like, “Oh, that’s kind of weird.” But if you look at what the goal of a wrestler is, like when we’re getting in there and we’re tying up, and we have our head to head and we’re pushing and pulling and moving people around, our entire goal of that is we’re trying to get an angle. OK? We’re trying to get somebody to step so that we’ve now got an angle we can attack them from. I know that it’s very difficult if not impossible for me just to shoot directly like through somebody. It’s really hard. The way that if I want to take somebody down, I’ve got to move and move and move until I can get them take a little step and then I can take an angle. And as soon as I got an angle, instead of going head to head, I’m going to head to like me going through their ear type thing. I have an angle. Now, it opens up the whole world to me. Now, I can actually get it on their legs. I can take them down. But it’s a hundred percent – it all requires me getting an angle like if I want to takedown on somebody, it’s just how it works. And so, I was thinking about that as I was showing my kids, like I was showing Bowen, one of my twins, like we’ve been doing like these things where he pushed and we’re doing inside control and trying to like get in good position, I told him how like I just want him to push and pull. I was like, “Watch. When you pull right here, what happens is I step and then check it out. Now, we’re not head to head. Now, you’ve got a little angle on me. Now, it opens up a shot where you can actually get on my leg and you can take me down.” And so for wrestling, that’s the whole point is I’m in there beating the trash out of the other dude’s head trying to move him all with a hope that I can get a little bit of an angle. And as soon as I get that angle, as soon as it opens up, boom! Takedown’s there and I can score. All right. So there is the metaphor. So, how does that relate to business? OK? So in business, I see so many people where when they say, “Hey, I’m going to be in this business or this market.” They pick what they want it to be. And then I think part of it is a disservice that I’ve done because I talk a lot about funnel hacking. So they say, “OK, this guy has got this.” And they go and they make the exact same thing. Now, what just happened now that you got this new business? You’ve just stepped up and you’re head to head with someone. You got the exact same product, exact same offer, exact same everything as these guys. OK? And that’s going to make it difficult. I’m not saying you can’t be successful. OK? There are some people – like for example, this week is actually the world tournament in Las Vegas for wrestling and there’s an Olympic champ named Jordan Burroughs who has got the best double leg I’ve ever seen in my life. And he can just plow through everybody like he’s so dominant. Like this dude does box jumps higher than his head. He’s got the strongest legs and hips and he just can plow through anybody. He doesn’t even need an angle. Just boom! He’s just taken you out, right? But for average humans and the majority of people, we got to have an angle, right? And so, the same thing for you, if you go head to head with someone, you have the exact same thing and you funnel hack them exactly, what just happened? Now, you’re going up against someone else who if you funnel hack someone well, you’re going to get some perfect competition and you can’t – this could be hard for you to score to make money. And so, what I want you guys thinking about a little bit is the angle. What’s your angle? What makes what you do different than what everybody else is doing? Okay? When I’m funnel hacking someone, I’m looking for a process. I’m looking for price points. I’m looking for things like that. I’m looking for layout.
