What if growing your business didn't require posting every day, constantly checking your DMs or chasing the algorithm?In this episode, Holly sits down with Ashley Brock, founder of Paid Ads Academy and an eight-figure business owner who has managed more than $200 million in advertising spend. Ashley shares how entrepreneurs can use paid advertising to become more findable—so the right people discover their businesses without relying entirely on organic social media.Ashley breaks down why paid ads can be an anti-social, life-first growth strategy that continues working while you spend time with your family, serve your clients or step away from your phone. She also explains why successful advertising is about much more than Facebook and Instagram, how to choose the right platforms and what needs to be in place before you start investing.00:00:00 — Why paid ads can be an anti-social, life-first growth strategy00:01:30 — What building a life-first business means to Ashley00:03:00 — Using stronger boundaries to separate work, family and phone time00:04:30 — Leaving a six-figure corporate job while pregnant00:06:00 — Growing a business without relying on daily social media activity00:07:30 — How advertising helps customers find you across multiple platforms00:09:00 — Why paid advertising goes far beyond Facebook and Instagram00:10:30 — Choosing platforms based on customer behavior and business goals00:12:00 — Combining search ads, social ads, prospecting and retargeting00:13:30 — How to think about ad budgets and customer lifetime value00:15:00 — Why learning ads feels overwhelming at first—and how it becomes easier00:18:00 — Using AI to audit your calendar and reclaim valuable time00:19:30 — What must be proven before you invest in advertising00:21:00 — How AI can connect advertising and sales data for faster decisions00:24:00 — The support, delegation and weekly structure behind Ashley's business00:27:00 — Letting go of DMs, sales calls and founder-only responsibilities00:28:30 — The testimonial ad Ashley recommends creating firstCONNECT WITH ASHLEY:Website | https://www.paidadscoaching.com/Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/ads.with.ashley/TikTok | https://www.tiktok.com/@ads.with.ashleyYouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@ads.with.ashleyLinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyjettonbrock/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/WinWithPaidAds/

Posting "just listed" and still feel invisible? The storybrand marketing framework real estate agents actually use looks nothing like what you're doing right now.I used to be the worst kind of marketer. Every post was about me, my new listing, my win, my hustle. Nobody cared and nobody called. Once I flipped the script and became the guide instead of the hero, everything changed, especially with sellers who had already been burned by another agent. That's the entire idea behind the storybrand marketing framework real estate agents are catching onto now.In this breakdown I walk through the exact real estate branding mistakes that were quietly killing my response rate, and the shift that turned my content into something people actually acted on. This isn't theory. It's the same approach that helped me pick up 75 expired listings in a single year.✅ Why most agents are making the same real estate agent marketing mistakes without even realizing it✅ How real estate storytelling marketing gets sellers to see themselves in your posts instead of watching you brag✅ The exact expired listing cold call script I use when I call a seller whose listing just fell through✅ Why your current real estate social media mistakes are costing you calls, not just likes✅ How to actually become the guide not the hero in real estate so sellers trust you before you ever pick up the phone✅ An updated expired listing script for 2026 built for how sellers are actually thinking right now✅ How to use storybrand for real estate agents without sounding like a corporate pitch deckIf you've ever wondered how to position yourself as a guide not the hero, this is the entire mechanism, no fluff, no theory, just what worked on real calls with real sellers.
Your content is what builds trust, gets people to want to learn more about you, and can eventually lead to a customer. But that can't happen if you're creating content for content's sake and ignoring your brand foundations.In this episode, I get into why so many business owners stay stuck creating content that doesn't do a damn thing for them, why most "content experts" on your feed are really just Instagram experts who'll teach you to grab eyeballs and then leave you hanging, and why you've gotta do the foundational brand work before you start posting.Resources Mentioned:The Groundwork
Liam shares a solo, practical episode about the power of posting to grow bookings for workshops, meeting rooms and desk hire at Suffolk Creative Spaces. Gone are the days of “if you build it they will come.” Today you must show up where people are, repeatedly and with purpose. Learn why posting consistently builds awareness, keeps you top of mind, and turns casual viewers into future customers, even when they don't need you right away.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy posting beats hoping: one person in town is history; competition is everywhere.Top of mind marketing: how repeated, varied exposure makes you the obvious choice when someone is ready.The marketing mix that works: social media, Google Business Profile, website, and print all play a role.Posting with purpose: content that supports bookings, answers questions, and reduces friction.Real results: the approach we used and how it's paying off for bookings and enquiries.If you run a space or offer services and want help turning posts into bookings, message us and we'll share the simple content plan we used to fill our calendar.

#1013 Ready to turn your LinkedIn connections and text messages into paying AI clients? In this part 2 of our 2-part episode, Corey Ganim returns to the Millionaire University podcast with five more zero-cost strategies for landing AI clients — from human-first LinkedIn outreach and free mini-assessments for people you already know, to strategic partnerships with agencies, accountants, and realtors, hosting AI office hours at local co-working spaces, and the simple discipline of "posting your wins" to build authority over time. Corey breaks down the exact numbers behind his outreach game (how many DMs turn into clients), shares a real success story from a listener who booked two warm leads at a co-working space office hour, and explains why partnering with people who already have your ideal clients is one of the most underrated growth hacks out there. If you missed part 1, go back and check out Corey's meetup and door-knocking strategies before diving into this one!

A billion views. Twelve million women. All of it started on a living room floor, postpartum, in lockdown, with a phone and no plan. Jo had gained fifty pounds, she was in the middle of postpartum depression, and she has said her body was nothing she recognized. She almost didn't press record. She thought if she showed up looking like that, people would look away. She showed up anyway. Not for an audience, not for the algorithm, not even for the woman she used to be. And that quiet decision, made on a bad day when nothing felt possible, is the whole reason twelve million women found her. We got into the girl before all of it. One of eleven kids, a family band, university at sixteen. Why she gave up training athletes to train regular women. The husband she met on a shoot, the one who never pulls her down. The woman in China who told her that her smile through a screen was the only thing that got her through the pandemic. The first stage she ever walked onto turned out to be an arena of forty thousand. And she said the smartest thing about consistency I've heard anyone say out loud. It isn't a daily workout. It's knowing what season you're actually in and showing up for that one. Two fifteen-minute workouts a week after a baby counts. So does a workout every day when life lets you. Neither one is failing. We talk about transformation like the point is the after photo. I don't think it is. The real story is the woman who got on the floor when nothing felt possible and chose herself anyway. Coming home to yourself isn't a transformation. It's a decision. Quiet, daily, usually made when no one is watching. New episodes of Not Alone every Wednesday. Subscribe so you never miss one.

In this episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, Jon LaClare sits down with Matt Olen of Grip Spritz to reveal how a struggling product found new life through a smarter target market, relentless content creation, and strategic Amazon optimization.Grip Spritz originally served the golf industry, but the team recognized that the product could solve a much more urgent problem for basketball players: slippery shoes and dusty courts. Matt explains how they repositioned the product for basketball, traveled to tournaments to demonstrate it firsthand, and earned credibility by winning over respected coaches, athletes, and industry leaders.The conversation also explores the Amazon changes that helped unlock rapid growth. Grip Spritz had already built significant brand awareness through years of social media and in-person marketing—but its Amazon listing was incorrectly placed in the gardening category. Once the listing was rebuilt and moved into sporting goods, the company was finally positioned to capture the demand it had already created. A goal of $25,000 in annual sales quickly turned into approximately $100,000 during one fourth quarter alone.Matt also breaks down the content system that keeps Grip Spritz visible across seven social media platforms. By publishing three core videos across multiple channels every day, recreating proven content, answering customer objections, and giving audiences a behind-the-scenes look at the company, the brand remains consistently top of mind without reinventing its strategy every morning.In today's episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, we cover:How to identify a more profitable market for an existing productWhy repositioning can be more effective than abandoning a struggling brandHow live demonstrations and trusted industry voices build product credibilityThe Amazon listing mistake that prevented Grip Spritz from reaching its audienceHow organic social media can create demand before a product is widely availableMatt's system for publishing 21 video posts across seven platforms every dayWhy recreating successful content often works better than constantly chasing new ideasHow responding to comments turns customer questions into effective marketing contentWhy founder-led videos help customers feel like they are buying from a person—not a corporationHow local manufacturing helps Grip Spritz respond to sudden demand and avoid Amazon stockoutsWhy complementary products, bundles, and accessories can increase average order valueHow attainable goals help founders maintain momentum during the difficult early stages of growthIf you have an older product, a plateauing brand, or an eCommerce business that needs a new growth strategy, this episode offers a practical lesson in meeting customers where they are, creating consistent demand, and going deeper into the problems your business already solves.Want to learn more about Matt and Grip Spritz?Visit GripSpritz.com or follow Grip Spritz on your favorite social media platform to explore its shoe traction, team, and court-care products.Do you have a product or brand you'd like to launch, reposition, or scale?Visit HarvestGrowth.com to book a free consultation and discover how the Perfect Launch Blueprint can help you identify the right audience, messaging, offer, and marketing strategy before you invest heavily in advertising.
In 2010, Karen Yankovich sat in traffic on the Lincoln Tunnel Express for two hours a day, just to get to a job 15 miles from home. She built a business to escape that commute - and then, without realizing it, built a second one: posting every day, chasing hooks, chasing numbers before coffee and after midnight.

A small-town strength gym outside Austin went from being stuck in the high 20s/low 30s to consistently $40–50k months without ever listing prices on their site. Episode SummaryHill Country Movement spent years hovering around $28–30k a month, even with solid coaching and a loyal community. They weren't broken—just capped. This conversation walks through the real changes that finally moved them past that ceiling: tightening their no-sweat intro, packaging a real 12-week kickstart, and getting serious about high-ticket personal training and hybrid offers.You'll hear how they use “no prices on the website” to avoid price shoppers, why in-person consults matter so much, and what shifted once Lasso took over their marketing and follow-up. If you're in a smaller market, charge more than your competition, or feel tapped out as the main coach and seller, this is a clear, real-world look at what it actually took to hit $50k months and hire full-time career coaches.Key TakeawaysYou'll learn:How pulling pricing off the website cut down on price shoppers and made consults easier to close.Why a structured 30–45 minute no-sweat intro that digs into the client's real “why” makes premium packages feel like the obvious next step.How Hill Country Movement packages high-ticket hybrid options (1:1 plus small group) and a 12-week kickstart to raise average client value.How they position being the most expensive option in a small market by leaning on coaching quality, degrees, and a truly coached environment.What changed once they stopped trying to be their own ad agency and let Lasso handle campaigns, workflows, and lead flow.How reworking their offers and sales process took them from years at $28–30k to consistently hitting the 40s and then $50k months.Why they only hire full-time, career coaches instead of “free membership” part-timers, and how that supports service and retention.How getting the owners off the floor opened time for systems, SOPs, and family, without sliding backwards in revenue.How they handle “just tell me the price” texts, when they give a range, and when they know someone isn't a fit.Episode Chapters01:02 Who Hill Country Movement serves02:31 PT, small groups, and hybrid offers10:34 Selling high-ticket packages in a small town12:08 No-sweat intros and uncovering the real “why”13:23 A la carte plans and “just tell me the price”16:34 Starting with Lasso & baseline revenue18:12 Hitting $50k months and ROI on Lasso19:31 Breaking the long-time $28–30k plateau25:05 Hiring full-time career coaches26:16 Systems, automation, and smoother scaling30:33 Million-dollar goal and future facility plansAbout the GuestBane and Gina are the co-owners of Hill Country Movement, a boutique strength and conditioning gym in the suburbs of Austin, Texas. They focus on personal training, capped small-group training, and habit-based nutrition coaching for “everyday athletes”—busy, middle-aged adults who want to stay strong and capable for real life. With a team of degreed, full-time coaches and a coaching-first environment, they built a premium, service-heavy model that supports higher pricing and deeper results. After years stuck around $28–30k a month, they reworked their offers, sales conversations, and marketing with Lasso's help and are now consistently in the $40–50k range while spending less time on the floor and more time on family and growth.About the PodcastGym Marketing Made Simple cuts through the noise around gym growth. Each episode focuses on practical marketing, sales, and leadership systems designed for boutique fitness gyms. The goal: clear messaging, better leads, and cleaner sales processes so owners can grow without guessing, chasing, or burning out their teams.Listen & Subscribe
Send us Fan MailAre you spending time, money and energy on your marketing but still wondering why it is not generating the leads or momentum you expected?Marketing Espresso is back for its third and final season of 2026, and I am kicking things off with some fairly big personal news: I am pregnant.It is a big part of why the podcast has looked a little different this year. Recording, training and running strategy sessions while dealing with months of morning sickness was not exactly the breezy experience I might have imagined. Breaking the podcast into seasons gave me the space to continue sharing useful conversations without trying to maintain an unrealistic production schedule.This will be the final Marketing Espresso season for 2026 while I take some time away to have a baby. It is not the final season ever, so everyone can calm down. Before I head off, I want to give you some practical ideas you can use to strengthen your marketing and prepare your business for 2027.This episode was prompted by a client conversation about generating consistent cold leads. Two new leads a month might sound like a straightforward goal, but whether it is realistic depends on how the entire business is set up.Can you switch on an advertising campaign and generate leads relatively quickly? Or are you operating in a relationship-driven industry where business development, referrals, trust and direct conversations do more of the sales heavy lifting?Marketing does not operate separately from the rest of the business. Your positioning, brand, website, customer experience, sales process and ability to build relationships all influence what your marketing can achieve.Instead of giving you another list of content ideas, I am sharing five marketing “one percenters”: relatively small areas that can create a noticeable shift when you approach them properly.In this episode, I explore:Why your website remains an important digital storefront, even when most of your leads appear to come through social media, LinkedIn or referralsWhy generic AI-generated branding, imagery and design could be making your business less memorableHow improving your customer flow can increase repeat business, referrals and customer satisfactionWhy every marketing channel needs a clearly understood purpose and realistic expectationsHow to use a 70/20/10 approach to plan your marketing while leaving room for experimentationYour website does not need to be the most expensive or technically impressive site on the internet. It does need to be functional, easy to navigate, visually aligned with your brand and clear about what you do, who you support and what someone should do next.The same principle applies to design. Canva and AI tools have made it easier than ever to create something quickly, but quick does not always mean distinctive. When every business uses the same templates, stock imagery and AI-generated visuals, everything begins to look remarkably similar.Your brand should feel like your business. It should build recognition, trust and emotional connection rather than looking like something generated from the same prompt as everyone else.The third one percenter is your customer flow. This is one of the areas businesses often fail to think of as marketing, despite the potential return.What happens after someone enquires? What happens after they buy? How do you continue adding value? How do you encourage repeat business? When and how do you ask for referrals?Before spending more externally, take a look at what is happening internally.The fourth area is understanding what each marketing activity is designed to do. Organic social media may create visibility, trust and familiarity, but it cannot be expected to complete the entire sales process on its own.Posting consistently is not the same as building relationships. Sending a weekly email is not the same as having a complete conversion strategy. Being active on LinkedIn is not the same as carrying out intentional outreach and engagement.You need to understand where an activity sits within the customer journey, what kind of return it can reasonably produce and how much time it may take.Finally, you need a marketing plan that combines consistency with flexibility.One approach I use with a client is the 70/20/10 model:70 per cent is the proven business-as-usual marketing we know we want to continue20 per cent is activity we have already tested and now want to improve or expand10 per cent is reserved for new ideas, experiments and calculated risksA good marketing plan should include the campaigns, sales periods and activities you know matter to your business. It should also create room to test something new, form a hypothesis, review the result and decide whether it belongs in the long-term strategy.You do not necessarily need to tackle all five areas at once.Choose one. Give it proper time, energy and attention. Decide what success would look like, create an execution plan and follow it through.The answer to a difficult market is not always to spend more or create more noise. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is stop, assess what is already happening and make one meaningful improvement.If you are ready to set your marketing up properly for 2027, reach out and let me know. I will be returning to strategy sessions from mid-November.Follow Marketing Espresso so you do not miss the rest of this final season for 2026, and share this episode with another business owner who feels like their marketing is stuck.DOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNERInstagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

Share a commentSome words are so familiar we stop hearing them, until we realize they've been shaping us the whole time. We take on the vocabulary of our homes, our friends, our stress, our screens and then we wonder why our faith feels thin when life gets loud. Today we slow down and look straight at the Third Commandment: “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain,” and why it speaks to far more than profanity.We talk about why God's name is never just a label. In the Bible, a name carries character, reputation, and identity, so dragging God's name into anger, jokes, manipulation, or casual slang is a spiritual issue, not a manners issue. Stephen Davey breaks down three major misuses: profanity (using God's name in the wrong context), hypocrisy (using His name for the wrong reason), and insincerity (using His name with the wrong attitude). Along the way, we confront the subtle danger of spiritual-sounding shortcuts like “God told me” or “God led me” when they're used to win an argument or bypass wise counsel.You'll walk away with clear next steps for Christian living and discipleship: build a habit of reverent speech, ask God to “post a guard” at your mouth, and remember that we represent Jesus Christ as His ambassadors. If you need prayer, we'd be honored to pray for you, and if you want to grow steadily in Scripture, we'll point you to tools that help.Subscribe to Wisdom for the Heart, share this with a friend who cares about faith in real life, and leave a review so more people can find biblical teaching that changes how we live and speak.

Share a commentSome words are so familiar we stop hearing them, until we realize they've been shaping us the whole time. We take on the vocabulary of our homes, our friends, our stress, our screens and then we wonder why our faith feels thin when life gets loud.

You know who you are. So why aren't you being her? In this episode, Chad sits down with Lizzy to talk about spending two years in maintenance mode while running a successful coaching business, convincing herself she'd eventually "get back to it." The problem? Good had quietly become comfortable. Since deciding to stop coaching herself and step into a room that challenged her, she's rebuilt her physique, started leading from the front again, and grown her business to consistent $50k months. This isn't a story about fixing a struggling coach. It's about what happens when someone who's already successful decides they're done settling for less than they're capable of.
The Avengers Doomsday trailer dropped this week and Doug has already watched it four times. The full reaction is here: what landed, what it means for the MCU, why the Russos coming back gives genuine reason for optimism, and why Thor not cracking a single joke in the entire trailer is one of the most promising signs this movie is going somewhere real. The biggest moments get the full breakdown. Captain America's return and the Mjolnir handoff. RDJ as Doctor Doom and the most logical in-universe explanation for why he looks exactly like Tony Stark. The Loki TVA card and whether the average viewer has any idea what that means. Shang-Chi showing up despite not appearing in a single piece of Marvel content since 2021. The Fantastic Four's involvement. Gambit getting a moment that made a 10-year-old lose her mind. And the theory that this film is essentially Marvel's version of Secret Wars, a way of pruning timelines, retiring legacy characters, and rebooting the X-Men in a way that actually makes sense. Speaking of the X-Men, Doug and Natalie watched all five original Fox X-Men films over the weekend specifically to prepare for Doomsday. The full post-mortem covers everything the franchise got wrong: Wolverine was never supposed to be the main character, Cyclops got done catastrophically dirty across every single film, Rogue never threw one punch in three movies, the X-Men never once fought as a team despite that being their entire thing, and Hugh Jackman looked completely fine in the year 2000 and we as a society did something terrible to that man over the next 24 years. Before all that: a Reddit question about socially acceptable life choices that are actually kind of insane when you sit with them. Spending money you don't have to impress people you don't like. Working five days a week just to get two days of freedom. Choosing your entire career path when you are 17 years old. Sports fanaticism and the double standard that exists between jersey-wearing adults and anyone who shows up to a convention. Gambling, specifically the rise of sports betting apps and why that cottage industry is genuinely sinister. Posting everything on social media compulsively. And the hokey pokey. The Urban Dictionary game returns. This round covers Gert, Yop, Opstopper, Cap-tain, Gup, and Poo Shuttling. Justin's definition of Poo Shuttling involves Colorado, underground pipe hacking, and a thriving East Coast black market. It is not correct. It is significantly better than correct. This week's recommendations: Justin: Good Luck Have Fun Don't Die (Hulu/Disney+). Sam Rockwell is extraordinary. Zazzy Beetz, Michael Pena, Juno Temple, Haley Lou Richardson. Weird, funny, and not far off from where we are headed. The third act gets away from itself slightly but the film is absolutely worth your time. Doug: The Long Walk (HBO). Stephen King adaptation. Dystopian future. 50 boys from 50 states walk until one is left alive. Dark as hell. Completely enthralling. Not a pick-me-upper. Go watch it.

Want to see how we help gyms get to $100K a month? Here's the plan the best gym owners are following right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMPx7b3_LOA Your ad agency did not lose you that member. Something else did, and it happened long before the ad ever ran. Paid ads get blamed for problems they did not cause. A great ad still fails if your Google reviews look shaky, if leads sit for hours before anyone calls, or if your team has no script for the close. More than 80 percent of consumers research a company before they ever click through on an ad, and gyms that respond to a lead within five minutes are nearly 900 times more likely to actually reach that person. In this episode you'll learn: — Why more than 80 percent of consumers check you out before clicking your ad — The Google review numbers that make a gym look credible instead of shaky — Why 1 in 9 gyms miss the easiest fix on their entire Google listing — What to put in your three pinned Instagram posts, and what to leave out — Why community now beats results as the top reason people join a gym — The five numbers every $100K gym tracks after a lead comes in — What the MIT five minute rule actually means for your close rate — Why asking a lead when works for you is costing you the sale — The double call trick that gets more leads to actually pick up — How booking two for one can add 20 more leads to every 100 you generate — Why your ad agency might not be the problem at all If you have been blaming your ads for a while now, this episode might show you where the real leak is. Timestamps: — 0:00 Cold open, the weakest link problem — 1:13 The quarterback analogy for paid ads — 3:20 Reputation, the first weak link — 3:34 Why 80 percent of consumers check you out first — 6:19 The Google review numbers that build trust — 7:00 Why 1 to 2 new reviews a week matters — 8:49 The Google listing update most gyms skip — 11:04 Adding case studies and proof to your Google listing — 12:35 Why community now beats results — 12:42 Building an Instagram profile people trust — 16:20 What to put in your three pinned posts — 17:33 Posting cadence and stories that actually convert — 18:42 Tracking, the second weak link — 20:11 Contact rate, booking rate, and show rate targets — 22:44 Close rate benchmarks for $100K studios — 24:07 Referral rate and the math behind 100 leads — 26:47 Sales process, the third weak link — 27:02 Speed to lead and the five minute rule — 29:04 Why you should always book today — 31:57 The double call trick — 32:32 Booking two for one — 33:11 Daily and weekly sales training — 34:22 Scripts and the price presentation transition Weakest Link Checklist Marketing budget video Competitor Creep ———————————————————————— Mike walks through the exact numbers behind every $100K a month gym, from reviews to close rate to referrals.

*Most pharmacy owners are doing social media completely wrong… and it's costing them serious growth. Posting generic "come visit us" content isn't cutting it and what you should be doing instead.

Fewer than 3% of LinkedIn members post in a given week. Most people celebrate the low competition. Here's the part that's harder to swallow...Your ideal clients are reading and never engaging. And if you measure LinkedIn by likes, you'll quit right before it starts working.In this episode, we break down a 15 minute LinkedIn routine any coach or consultant can run tomorrow morning. Three blocks, five minutes each, and not one of them involves writing a post.We walk through the full routine, comment, reply, connect, and get into the 1-9-90 rule that explains why your best clients stay silent. We cover why 42% of buyers check your profile before they'll even reply to you, and the one thing fifteen minutes a day simply cannot do for you.Fifteen minutes gets you the audience. This episode is about what to do with them.Follow the show so you don't miss what's next. Then tell us... which of the three blocks are you least likely to actually do? We already know the answer, and it's usually the one that matters most.Want the content side of this too?

What lessons have Democrats learned from the Graham Platner debacle…and what are their chances of finally unseating Senator Susan Collins with a campaign timeline that's evaporating faster than you can say Harris-Walz 2024? Alex Seitz-Wald, deputy editor of The Midcoast Villager in Maine, joins Offline to explain how Platner's scandal-plagued campaign was perceived online vs. on the ground, and why Mainers are done with people who are “from away.”For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

It reminded me that people don't just want to see the final result—they want to understand the work that got you there.If you're a business owner, marketer, or content creator trying to build a genuine connection with your audience, this episode is packed with practical advice you can start using today.Key Takeaways:How Amy grew the Women's Business Network from just 23 members to more than 900 without paying for advertising.Why authentic stories consistently outperform polished, "perfect" content.The biggest content marketing mistakes SMEs make and how to avoid them.How to use AI without losing your own voice and personality.Why podcasting is one of the most powerful tools for creating authentic, long-form content.Chapters and timestamps:00:00 – Rapid-fire questions and why authenticity beats viral marketing04:00 – Why sharing challenges creates stronger engagement than polished content08:30 – Listening to your community and creating content your audience actually wants14:00 – The biggest content marketing mistakes SMEs make20:00 – AI, authenticity, and why your voice still matters26:00 – Why podcasting is the perfect format for authentic content marketingSend us Fan MailBook a free call with me here to help you create the best podcast possible!

Posting the setlist late doesn't just stress you out. It costs your drummer a Friday night with his kids. Teel Merrick spent 17 years as a music director and worship pastor before turning worship admin into his full time job. Now he lives inside other churches' Planning Center accounts all week, cleaning up chaos most leaders never see. In this conversation he breaks down his volunteer triangle: the three things every volunteer needs before Sunday (resources, information, expectations) and what goes wrong when one is missing. He walks through his Monday to Friday admin rhythm that locks the set early so the whole week stays calm. And he explains why volunteers rarely disobey you: they are usually missing information or resources you never gave them. If you hate admin, this episode won't make you love it. It will show you how to get it under control so you can get back to people. And if late setlists and unprepared teams are eating your week, Worship Online gives your whole team album-accurate tutorials, charts, and setlists so everyone shows up ready without you chasing them.

This week on the Frotcast, returning bald man Justin Halpern (Cougartown, Harley Quinn, Abbott Elementary) joins us to talk about his latest book Get Lost. For his fourth release, he's going in a different direction by writing a novel, which is about…dads and baseball. It's probably about a whole lot more than that to be fair, but we completely derail the conversation with some Godforsaken California Town chat. Sorry to any listeners for whom this is niche to the point of meaninglessness. Just remember the important part: Clovis is the Paris of the Central Valley, not to be confused with the Paris of the Inland Empire, which is Perris. Justin also casually drops that he was on the Bert Kreischer podcast (shirt on), then even more casually drops that he was on Joe Rogan (unclear if shirt on), whereupon he shares with us some delightful details of the Joe Rogan Experience experience. Spoiler: he took DMT and saw a vision of Papa Roach playing the Sleep Train Amphitheater in Chula Vista. Raise a glass, with your pinky up of course, for our favorite southern dandy Lindsey Graham. That's right, Lady G, the ladybug himself, kicked the bucket, in a watershed day for gay sex workers along the Eastern Seaboard who enjoy posting online. We solemnly and respectfully remember a revered American statesman who worked tirelessly to strip the rights away from everyone except white straight men and rally support for completely unjustified foreign wars. We may not have always agreed with him, but what's a little quibble on whether or not to murder thousands of people between pals? Finally, we watched The Furious. There's lots of ass whooping, which whoops ass. Ass is whooped, then it's whooped some more. Then a nerdy dude who you think is about to get his ass whooped turns out to be a complete ass whooper, and he then proceeds to whoop hella ass. It whooped ass. Solid B+.

Welcome back to the Messy Success Podcast. If you've been posting content and getting no results, you are not alone, and today Elizabeth is challenging the whole way you're measuring "working." This episode is for the creative entrepreneur who is showing up online every day, hearing crickets, and starting to wonder if any of it matters. Elizabeth shares why likes and comments were never the real metric, how building trust on social media actually happens quietly over time, and why she has built what she calls an algorithm-proof business, one that doesn't depend on virality or a single platform to survive. She walks through how to diagnose what's actually going wrong in your content (is it a traffic problem, a messaging problem, an alignment problem) instead of just deciding your offer is bad and starting over. She also gets into why becoming the local authority in your area can feed your entire online presence, and why the entrepreneurs who make it are the ones who stay in the game long enough to build real trust. Plus, a behind the scenes update on Elizabeth's Hampton Roads Creative Network and the new site being built for it. If you've been feeling like you're talking to no one, press play and let this one recalibrate how you think about your content.

Some of the videos and meditations I make become golden eggs on Spotify, finding thousands of listeners and reaching people who genuinely use them.Then I upload the same work to YouTube and it gets ten views.Sometimes one.Sometimes zero.Oddly, that does not discourage me the way it probably should. I still believe people can find the work when they need it, even if the platform has no idea what to do with it yet.In Golden Egg Theory Part 3, I talk about what happens after you release something you care about. The views, the silence, the pressure to repeat whatever succeeds, and the strange way the same piece of work can be valued on one platform and almost invisible on another.This episode is about learning from numbers without letting them define the work, improving titles and thumbnails without losing your voice, and trusting that meaningful things sometimes travel slowly.The algorithm can tell you how something performed.It cannot always tell you what it meant.Website: https://idiotmystic.comInstagram: https://instagram.com/idiotmysticTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@idiotmysticDiscord: https://discord.gg/dXKjhZrZmM
If you're a coach, consultant, or service professional struggling to generate leads on LinkedIn, your content strategy may be the real problem. Posting more isn't the answer. Posting the right mix of content is what builds visibility, trust, conversations, and qualified opportunities.In this episode, I break down the four types of LinkedIn content that every service professional, coach, and consultant should create to attract the right audience and turn visibility into business growth.You'll learn how to create authority content that positions you as the expert, story content that builds trust, proof content that builds credibility, and conversation content that encourages meaningful engagement.When you consistently combine all four, LinkedIn becomes more than a place to post. It becomes a platform that helps you build relationships, generate conversations, and create more opportunities.Don't forget to register for our FREE Connections Into Clients LinkedIn Workshop here:https://www.thetimetogrow.com/LinkedInContentRoadmap

Hope is not a sales strategy. Outbound is what fills the pipeline. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why waiting for inbound leads can starve your business and how to build a ruthless outbound engine that puts you back in control. Let's be real… Posting content is not enough. Having a nice website is not enough. Waiting for the phone to ring is not enough. If nobody knows you exist… You have to go to the market. In this episode, you'll learn: Why relying only on inbound leads can kill your revenue How outbound sales puts you in control of your pipeline Why rejection must be treated like math, not emotion How daily prospecting creates predictable opportunities and consistent growth The truth is simple: You cannot cash hope. You cannot deposit likes. And you cannot build a serious company by waiting to be discovered. High-level operators hunt. They make the calls. They send the messages. They knock on the doors. They track the numbers. They master the pitch. Because when you know the math behind your outbound engine… You can scale your pipeline on command. Stop waiting for the market to find you. Take the fight to the market. Do the outbound work. Close the deal. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

President Donald Trump says he will not sign the housing bill into law. Posting on his social media platform, Truth Social, the president wrote, “I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House, in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.”Prosecutors in Utah are presenting final evidence against Tyler Robinson, the 23-year-old accused of murdering Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk. Friday marks the final day of the five-day preliminary hearing.
Leigh Laird has been watching Marc Scott's documentary short videos on LinkedIn and wants to know everything - how he picks topics, how he writes scripts, how he produces the videos, and whether the strategy is actually working. In this Summer Series episode, Marc pulls back the curtain on the full DocuShort strategy - from the AI-assisted scripting process to the one-to-two hour production workflow, and all the ways a single short video gets repurposed into demos, casting site playlists, website pages, and GEO content. Inside this episode: How Marc identifies documentary topics by starting with the networks he wants to work with - and then using AI to generate ideas within those themes The full production setup - phone video, studio audio, Adobe Audition, Adobe Premiere, and Envato Marketplace stock footage Why Marc records himself on camera during every video - and how that one decision separates him from AI-generated content The honest answer on results - no documentary booking yet, but four direct invites and a booking on Voice123 this week alone How he cuts each DocuShort into 15 to 20 second clips for casting site playlists, giving him dozens of new SEO opportunities per video Why he builds a dedicated website page for every video he creates - and how that is starting to show up in AI search results The 40-second average view time that proves people are watching his short content all the way through - and what he does in the first three seconds to make that happen Why Instagram is currently outperforming every other platform - including the video that just crossed 40,000 views after a year of consistent posting Whether you're targeting documentary narration or a completely different genre, this episode gives you a clear and practical framework for turning one piece of content into a full marketing strategy.
In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful conversation I had with Samantha Daily, host of the Make Shift Happen podcast and a brilliant voice for women building intentional online businesses. We get into the hard truth that so many online entrepreneurs are facing right now: showing up, posting, pouring effort into your content, and still not converting. Why? Because your messaging and positioning, not your content or your visibility, is what sells. I walk Samantha and her audience through my Momentum Messaging Framework, the exact strategy that helped me scale to over a million dollars in less than a year. We unpack why constantly reinventing your content strategy might be doing more harm than good, the difference between pleasure content and power content (and why most women only create the first), how to know if your messaging is actually working, and why posting less might be the move that finally gets your ideal client to pay attention and buy. I also share the leadership maturity required to scale, the compounded growth that took me from $250K to $1.3M in nine months, and the question I ask every new client: if I dropped 100 paying clients into your world today, could you actually hold them? If you've ever felt like you're screaming into the social media void or exhausted from over-delivering without the sales to match, this episode is your breath of fresh air. Liked this episode?

The White House's official twitter account went fishing this past week using “Q posting” as bait. They snagged a wild Travis View hook, line, and sinker. While posting about President Trump's executive orders related to quantum technology, the social media team for the White House and the Pentagon seized the moment to post “Q is for quantum” memes, copy Q drop aesthetics, and parody QAnon slogans. We discuss this new era of government communications, in which trolling and QAnon fan service are used to amplify cybersecurity policy for speculative tech. Once they get a good picture with Travis and throw him back, he moves onto the reemerging conspiracy that Charlie Kirk's wireless microphone was rigged with explosives and the bizarre evidence some claim proves this theory. Then Liv and Julian discuss the world cup and what offsides means while Jake and Travis listen intently. Finally, Jake brought us a little dessert to top off the episode in the form of a “large animal chonker and their pilled to the gills parent”. Bon appetite.
