Would you keep showing up every week if it felt like nobody was watching? Today I'm sharing the story of one of my Hot Reels clients who did exactly that. She joined my program with about 2,500 followers and a totally dormant account she hadn't posted on for years. She spent the first few months of Hot Reels wondering if any of it was working. By the end of our year together, she grew to more than 70,000 followers.

Send us Fan MailI am so excited to bring on one of the leading Instagram strategists for business owners — Michelle Gifford. She helps six and seven-figure brands grow their audience, sell out their offers, and generate real revenue through Instagram. She's also a coach, agency owner, podcast host of The Social Strategist, and a mother of five proving every day that it's possible to build a thriving business without sacrificing what matters most. When I invited Michelle onto the show, I knew we'd be talking Instagram strategy.

⏰ Feeling overwhelmed in your dental practice? You may not need more team members—you may just need better systems. In this episode, Dayna Johnson shares one of the most impactful lessons from her nationwide Dentrix User Meetings: four practical ways dental teams can buy back time, reduce stress, and improve efficiency. Drawing from real conversations with office managers and practice owners, Dayna explains how stronger workflows, automation, and accurate data can transform the way your practice operates. Whether you're using Dentrix or another dental practice management software, these strategies will help your team spend less time scrambling and more time delivering an exceptional patient experience. ✅ Key Takeaways Shift from scramble time to preparation time with better pre-visit workflows. Embrace automation for insurance eligibility, appointment confirmations, online scheduling, and patient forms. Trust and optimize your automation tools instead of creating manual workarounds. Build a team-wide commitment to accurate, complete data entry. Finish every task all the way to the finish line to prevent costly mistakes. Eliminate outdated pop-ups and keep patient records clean and relevant. Use the Office Journal and reminders instead of relying on memory. Apply the KISS Method (Keep It Super Simple) to create workflows that are easier to train, follow, and scale. Strong systems reduce stress, improve patient care, and create high-performing dental teams.

Send us Fan MailToday I'm sharing something that sounds a little boring on paper but has changed everything about how I use AI. It's not a funnel, it's not a sales page, and it's not a complex system. It's a single living document. And it has become one of the most valuable marketing assets I've built in the last two years.

Send us Fan MailInstagram is filling up with AI-generated content. And as more small business owners and creators start using these tools, one thing is becoming really clear — everyone is starting to sound the same. So how do you use AI effectively without losing what makes you you? That's exactly what we're tackling today. This is part one of a four-part series on how to use AI in your marketing as a small business owner. We're going back to the basics, laying the right foundation, helping you avoid common mistakes, and making sure you have what you need to stand out instead of blend in.*INSTAGRAM UPDATE WORTH KNOWINGInstagram just rolled out the ability to reorder your grid posts. To access it, go to your profile, long press on any post, and select Reorder Grid from the menu that appears. You can then drag and drop your posts to change the order they appear on your public profile.This matters because those first nine posts on your profile often determine whether someone follows you or not. My advice: don't overthink it and don't spend three hours rearranging your feed like it's a living room makeover. But do think strategically about what someone sees within the first five to seven seconds of landing on your profile, and make sure it's positioned to attract your ideal client or customer.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE02:17 Instagram update: how to reorder your grid posts and why it matters05:24 Why we're in the "Summer of AI" and the perspective I'm bringing to this series07:16 The real conversation happening around AI in 2026 (it's not "should I use it" anymore)07:45 Why using AI is quickly becoming the baseline and what the actual competitive advantage is now08:39 What AI-generated "slop" looks like and why it's hurting the people posting it09:36 Why AI is making thought leadership more valuable, not less10:33 Mistake #1: Waiting until you figure it out (the fear and avoidance trap)13:50 Mistake #2: Using AI to replace your thinking instead of amplify it15:37 Mistake #3: Giving AI zero context and why this is the biggest reason outputs feel generic18:49 The mindset shift that changed everything: treating AI like a strategic thought partner19:17 One action step to take this week: ask AI to interview you before it creates anything20:39 About the live workshop: Build Your AI Thought PartnerLinks Mentioned:Build Your AI Thought Partner WorkshopThink Bigger: Using AI to Expand What's Possible in Your Business with Geoff WoodsHot Reels — my 12-month Instagram content lab.

Send us Fan MailYou already know that strong hooks are one of the biggest things separating content that gets ignored from content that gets watched, shared, and remembered. But today I want to take this a step deeper because most business owners think a hook is only the text at the beginning of a reel. And honestly, that's just one piece of it.

A Note from James:Today on the show, I have a very special guest and a good friend of mine, Brandon Webb.Brandon has been on the show many times before. He's a former Navy SEAL, and he also ran the Navy SEAL sniper school that trained some of the best snipers in the world, including the sniper the movie American Sniper was based on. He's written a ton of books about the military, leadership, confidence, mental toughness, and even military thrillers. A few weeks ago, we talked about what was going on in Iran, and I encourage you to go back and listen to that episode too.His new book is Puddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident & Joyful Kids. This is not your typical parenting book. It's not filled with abstract academic theory. I hate those books. This is written by a dad who has been through war, divorce, rebuilding businesses, and raising three kids as a committed co-parent after he and his ex-wife split.And I know his kids. From my perspective, he's done a great job.As a father myself, I was really interested in this book. And even beyond parenting, it was useful for thinking about the kind of discipline I need to apply to myself. I've been divorced. I've had failed businesses. It's hard navigating those life traumas while also trying to be a good father. Brandon has lived that, and he writes about it honestly.So let's get into it. My friend, the one and only Brandon Webb. Welcome back to the show.Episode Description:James talks with former Navy SEAL, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and father of three Brandon Webb about parenting, co-parenting, discipline, confidence, failure, and what it actually takes to raise resilient kids.Brandon's new book, Puddle Jumpers, is not a parenting book written from an ivory tower. It comes from lived experience: war, divorce, rebuilding after business failure, co-parenting across households, and trying to raise kids who can handle real life. His central point is simple but difficult: kids need love, support, boundaries, and enough ordinary stress to develop confidence.The conversation is practical and personal. Brandon explains why successful co-parenting requires putting the kids ahead of old resentments, why parents should ask better questions, why punishment without understanding the “why” can backfire, and why kids need to experience failure instead of being protected from every hard moment.What makes this episode useful is that the advice works beyond parenting. The same ideas—take responsibility, ask better questions, tolerate discomfort, celebrate small wins, and learn from failure—apply to adults too.What You'll Learn:Why Brandon wrote a parenting book after years of writing about the military, leadership, and mental toughness.How he and his ex-wife built a healthy co-parenting relationship after divorce.Why “happy mom, happy kids” became one of his guiding principles.How everyday stressors—ordering food, asking for an autograph, taking the subway—build real confidence in kids.Why parents should praise effort, risk-taking, and resilience rather than simply telling kids they are smart.How to discipline with love by getting to the “why” behind bad behavior.Why sometimes the best parenting move is not advocating for your kid.How to help kids find purpose by exposing them to lots of people, places, skills, and experiences.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Brandon on parent-to-parent advice versus academic theory[03:02] A Note from James: Brandon Webb returns[04:42] From Navy SEAL books to a parenting book[05:27] Why Brandon never expected to write about parenting[06:14] Friends asking Brandon for parenting advice[07:25] Why he saw a gap in parenting books[08:12] Applying SEAL mental management tools to parenting[09:01] Co-parenting after divorce[09:29] Brandon's ex-wife and kids joining the audiobook[09:47] Publishing with Authors Equity[11:07] Why co-parenting often breaks down[11:48] How the family court system can create conflict[13:22] The therapist who helped Brandon and Gretchen divorce well[15:29] “Happy mom, happy kids”[16:31] Responding when plans change after divorce[17:35] What the kids remember about healthy co-parenting[18:24] Why each chapter could be its own book[19:41] Building confidence and celebrating small wins[21:00] The power of ordinary stress[21:53] Asking for an autograph and building courage[23:33] Why kids need “wind” to grow stronger roots[24:47] The New York subway story and trusting kids[25:31] Failure, responsibility, and protecting kids too much[26:35] Praising effort versus praising intelligence[28:26] Brandon's daughter failing her belt test[30:19] Why painful moments can become gifts[30:53] What Brandon wishes he had done better as a father[31:51] Three questions Brandon asked his kids[32:36] Why parents need to ask better questions[33:22] One-on-one trips with each child[34:00] Questions that led to a four-hour dinner conversation[38:25] Discipline, emotional reactions, and over-punishment[39:43] Getting to the “why” behind behavior[42:00] The pizza delivery suspension story[43:25] Changing the environment when a kid is struggling[44:26] Discipline checklist and making kids feel heard[44:49] When parents over-advocate[45:10] Getting kicked off the basketball team[46:00] The talented jerk problem[46:38] What changed when Brandon took the coach's feedback seriously[48:24] Accountability, consequences, and adult life[49:00] Helping kids find purpose[49:39] Travel, culture, and exposing kids to new experiences[50:14] Supporting a child's talent when it shows up[51:17] What to do when your kid chooses a path you don't love[52:33] Becoming an advisor as kids grow up[53:14] Why mentors matter[53:32] Purpose changes over time[56:23] Creating a “forever family”[57:26] Brandon reads a letter from his daughter[59:23] Why the lessons apply to adults too[01:00:07] Closing thoughts on Puddle JumpersAdditional ResourcesPuddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident & Joyful KidsBrandon Webb's official websiteSOFREP, the military and foreign policy news site Brandon runsPuddle Jumpers Parenting, Brandon's Substack on raising joyful, resilient kidsWall Street Journal interview with Brandon Webb about Puddle JumpersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“Being a father is probably one of the toughest and most rewarding jobs I've ever had. A lot of the principles I used to teach snipers apply to kids: dealing with negativity, replacing negative self-talk, learning that well-meaning adults can say terrible things — and you don't have to take that on as baggage.” — Brandon Webb Brandon Webb defines himself as an author, entrepreneur, Navy SEAL sniper, and father. But not in that order. The first three he leveraged into a series of bestselling books about the art of sniping. The fourth — the art of being a loving father — he dodged and ducked for years. But fatherhood might be Webb's real calling. People regularly pulled him aside after meeting his grown children to ask him about his “secret” for being an effective dad. His kids were making eye contact, they were asking good questions rather than staring at their phones. Most astonishingly, they seemed happy. Webb's new book, Puddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident and Joyful Kids, reveals his secret of parenting. It applies the positive performance psychology Webb learned as a Navy SEAL sniper instructor — how to redirect negative self-talk, how to deal with well-meaning adults who say damaging things, how to build mental toughness without destroying connection — to the work of raising children. It outlines his parenting philosophy of both high expectations and high support. Think of Puddle Jumpers as simultaneously the manual for tiger and the bunny parenting. Brandon Webb's ultimate calling in life is as a parent. Father, author, entrepreneur and Navy SEAL sniper. In that order. Five Takeaways •       The Sniper Instructor as Parenting Coach: Webb was running the Navy SEAL sniper program at 27 years old. The psychology they taught there — positive self-talk, replacing negative internal narratives, dealing with adversity without being broken by it — is what he applied to parenting. The connection is not as strange as it sounds: both sniping and parenting require performing under pressure, dealing with failure without catastrophising, and building confidence that is genuine rather than brittle. The difference is that the stakes in parenting last a lifetime. •       High Expectations, High Support: Webb's alternative to the false choice between permissive parenting and authoritarian discipline. Permissive parenting replaces preparation with protection. Authoritarian discipline breaks connection. Puddle Jumper Parenting holds both simultaneously: clear expectations and emotional safety. Kids need to know what's required of them. They also need to know they won't be abandoned when they fail. Webb's word for children raised this way: puddle jumpers — kids who leap into life's messy moments with full-hearted abandon, not because they're fearless but because they trust themselves to recover. •       The Credit Card Lesson: Don't Bail Them Out: Webb's son Jackson managed a self-storage facility through college and ended up with a $25,000 ownership payout as a sophomore at St Andrews. He spent it like a drunken sailor on shore leave, got a credit card, ran up $12,000 in debt at predatory interest rates, and called his father for help. Webb's response: you remember that conversation we had? Figure it out. He let his son suffer. Jackson's girlfriend hated Webb for two years. At the end, Jackson paid off the debt with a new business and told his father it was one of the best lessons he'd ever been taught. It would have been easy to bail him out. The suffering was the lesson. •       Purpose and the War Veteran: Viktor Frankl's Lesson: How does a combat veteran come home intact? Webb's answer: purpose. His Afghanistan deployment had clear moral logic — the propaganda posters in the caves, the training camps, the towers. That clarity carried him through. Iraq was different. Soldiers who went to Iraq with no understanding of why they were there — and whose friends in 2010 were saying we have no idea what we're doing here — came home broken. Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning: purpose is the thing that makes endurance possible. Without it, violence that cannot be assigned rational meaning produces serious mental illness. •       Teach Kids About Money: The American Economy Preys on Them: Webb has strong opinions: America's economy is largely fuelled by consumer debt. Credit card companies prey on college students because they know the parents will bail them out. Kids need to understand the system before the system takes advantage of them. His prescription: teach them age-appropriate financial literacy early. The Acorns Early app gamifies financial learning for children. The deal he struck with all his kids in college: I pay for school, you have a roof and food, but if you want to socialise, get a job. The lesson is not just about money. It's about agency. About the Guest Brandon Webb is a combat-decorated Navy SEAL sniper, multiple New York Times bestselling author, Harvard Business School alumnus, and father of three. He is the author of Puddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident and Joyful Kids (Authors Equity/Simon & Schuster, May 12, 2026), The Red Circle, The Killing School, and The Making of a Navy SEAL. He divides his time between Portugal and New York City. References: •       Puddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident and Joyful Kids by Brandon Webb (Authors Equity/Simon & Schuster, May 12, 2026). •       Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning — Webb cites it as one of his favourite books, and the source of his thinking on purpose and combat trauma. •       Episode 2888: Helen Benedict on The Soldier's House — directly referenced in the interview; Webb's purpose-in-war argument is the complement to Benedict's moral injury argument. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic. With nearly 2,900 episodes since the show launched on TechCrunch in 2010, Keen On America is the most prolific intellectual interview show in the history of podcasting. WebsiteSubstackYouTubeApple Podcasts

What a VP of Clinical Efficiency Needs HR to UnderstandFeaturing Katie Abebe, Vice President of Clinical Efficiency, Upstream RehabilitationIf you have ever wondered what it feels like to run clinical operations across 800 clinics in 25 states — and what that VP actually needs from HR to make it work — this is the episode. Katie Abebe took an unconventional path from construction to community college to a doctorate in physical therapy from Chatham University, and now builds systems for clinical quality and efficiency at one of the top five largest outpatient rehab providers in the country.⚙️ What Clinical Efficiency Actually Means Clinical efficiency is not just operational throughput. It is eliminating waste, aligning what payers require with what is best for the patient, and delivering high-quality care within insurance-constrained reimbursement models where margins are already thin. One missed clinician can eliminate an entire week's margin at a single clinic. The math is not forgiving.

Define Success or Chase It Forever   Success feels endless until you define it. In this episode, Rocky sits down with Mitch Matthews, success coach and creator of the top 1% podcast Dream Think Do, to explore why high-achieving leaders and entrepreneurs struggle to articulate their dreams and how to build a business that actually fulfills you. Mitch shares the unlikely lessons from his 13-year-old self working at a bike shop in Iowa to his current work with organizations like Nike, NASA, and Disney. If you've hit your revenue goals but still feel empty, this conversation is for you.    Learning Insights  Success Is Closer Than You Think (But You Have to Define It). Most entrepreneurs are three feet from gold without realizing it. Define what success means to you in this current season and watch how quickly it becomes achievable.  Your Business Sequence Matters More Than Your Dream. Every successful business has a clear sequence that moves people from awareness to trust to investment. Most entrepreneurs can't articulate theirs, which is why they struggle to attract consistent clients.  Be Interested, Not Interesting. Stop trying to impress people with expertise. Start genuinely asking questions and listening. Curiosity creates connection far better than charisma ever will.  Permission Is a Self-Imposed Barrier. You don't need your boss, family, or industry to give you permission to pursue your next chapter. You just need to give it to yourself and start.  Dreams Are Season-Specific, Not Life-Long Absolutes. Just because you have a dream doesn't mean now is the right season. You can acknowledge it, prepare strategically, and wait for the right moment without guilt.    Why This Conversation Matters  This conversation matters because the majority of business owners operate from a default definition of success they never chose. They're chasing numbers inherited from their environment rather than defined by themselves. The most fulfilled entrepreneurs paused to ask: What does success actually look like for me right now? Understanding your sequence and building permission into your own narrative removes the shame from uncertainty while making your direction crystal clear.    Money Learning  Mitch's first job at 13 taught him that work equals income, and income equals freedom and choice. Later, when building his coaching business during the "sitcom life" (single income, two children, oppressive mortgage), he couldn't quit his day job. Instead, financial constraints forced him to be strategic about his sequence and message, allowing him to build a six-figure business in just five months on the side.    Key Takeaway  Define what success means to you in this season before you spend another year chasing it. Build a clear sequence that guides people from awareness to investment. Finally, give yourself permission to start your next chapter without waiting for external validation. Most entrepreneurs are closer to their goals than they realize—they just haven't named them yet.    About Mitch Matthews   Mitch Matthews is a success coach, speaker, and creator of the top 1% podcast DREAM THINK DO  where he helps high-achieving leaders and entrepreneurs dream bigger, think better, and do more of what they were put on the planet to do.   He's worked with organizations like Nike, NASA, and Disney, and he's the creator of The Authority Bridge™  a proven process that helps professionals turn their experience into a coaching and speaking business they love.    Links  Website: www.MitchMatthews.com   www.MitchMatthews.com/time   Coupon Code: richersoul  Podcast: DREAM THINK DO: https://mitchmatthews.com/blog/     To join thousands who receive Mitch's weekly "4 Things" email… you can go to: MitchMatthews.com/4things     "Discover 44 Proven Ways to Find Your First Life Coaching Clients (And Keep Them Coming!)"

If you've been wondering how to grow your podcast and get more podcast downloads, you're not alone. I talk to so many entrepreneurs who start a podcast thinking the audience will naturally grow over time, only to find themselves stuck under a hundred downloads an episode and wondering what they're doing wrong. The truth is that how to grow your podcast has a lot less to do with posting more content and a lot more to do with understanding how discoverability actually works.In this episode, I'm breaking down three of the biggest drivers behind podcast download growth that most hosts completely overlook: charts, mentions across the internet, and search. When you understand how these three areas influence podcast marketing and visibility, you can start making small strategic shifts that lead to real audience growth.We'll talk about how chart momentum works and why choosing highly searched topics can help you get more podcast downloads when new episodes go live. I also walk through why backlinks and mentions are one of the most overlooked parts of podcast marketing for business. When other websites, blogs, and podcasts talk about your show and link back to it, those signals strengthen your authority and expand your reach.Finally, we dive into search and why SEO plays such an important role in evergreen marketing for your podcast. Creating blog posts for your episodes and choosing topics people are actively searching for can turn your show into a long-term discovery engine that supports your online marketing, lead generation, and sustainable business growth.If you've been trying to figure out how to grow your podcast and build a show that consistently attracts new listeners, this episode will give you three practical areas to start focusing on right away.Ready to Turn Your Podcast Into a Revenue Stream? If you want to build a business that works when you're offline, your podcast can become one of the most powerful evergreen marketing tools in your business. Inside my Podcast Growth Strategy, I'll help you optimize your podcast for search so it attracts the right listeners, grows your audience, and turns your show into a discoverable marketing asset that keeps working long after you hit publish. This is a done-for-you strategy designed to help you grow your show, increase your online visibility, and create income without social media.

March is here, and healthcare HR is staring down three stories that cut straight to the core of organizational trust, workforce safety, and labor vulnerability — all in one week.⚖️ LeapFrog's Credibility Collapse A federal judge ruled that LeapFrog deliberately assigned artificially low safety grades to hospitals that declined to participate in its voluntary survey. Five Florida hospitals were affected. This isn't a data dispute — a court found deliberate punishment of non-participants credible enough to act on.The HR takeaway is urgent: every external rating your organization amplifies — LeapFrog, U.S. News, Magnet — carries reputational weight with nurses, recruits, and your community. When a rating agency's methodology is found to be punitive rather than objective, the credibility problem belongs to you, not them. Audit your ratings dependencies now.

Send us a textShowing up online can feel vulnerable, awkward, and emotionally exhausting.If you have ever questioned your confidence, your relevance, or whether social media is even worth it anymore, this episode is for you.In this conversation, I'm joined by Chelsea Peitz, keynote speaker, author, and one of the most thoughtful voices in personal branding and human-centered marketing. We talk about why visibility feels so uncomfortable, what is actually happening in your brain when you post online, and how social media has quietly shifted from connection to consumption.What You'll Learn00:00 – Why showing up online feels vulnerable and emotionally charged for most creators 02:19 – How Chelsea accidentally built a personal brand without trying to be an influencer 07:30 – Why the brain builds trust through screens the same way it does in real life 10:24 – The most common limiting beliefs that stop people from posting consistently 18:35 – How Instagram shifted from connection-based content to entertainment and discovery 21:54 – Why traditional engagement metrics are no longer reliable indicators of success 27:55 – How long-term growth comes from consistency, relationships, and not quitting 33:57 – Why Instagram works best as a relationship-building tool rather than a content machineKey TakeawaysVisibility is not neutral and often triggers fear and self-doubt. Your discomfort with social media is a human response, not a personal failure. Trust can be built through a screen when communication is human and consistent. Engagement has changed because people consume content like television. Silent viewers still build connection over time. Traditional metrics can undermine confidence and motivation. Creating your own success metrics builds self-trust. Long-term growth comes from relationships and consistency, not trends.Resources MentionedFollow Chelsea Peitz on InstagramChelsea's book on human-centered communicationFree Resource: Monetize Your IG GuideWORK WITH ELIZABETH MARBERRY Apply for your FREE Instagram Breakthrough Session with Elizabeth Free guide to Monetize Your IG: Seven Simple and Proven Ways to Finally Make Money on Instagram Follow Elizabeth Marberry on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook Please be sure to rate, review and follow the show on Apple podcasts (or wherever you find your podcasts) so we can get this free value to other people who need it.
