SHOW NOTESTravel agents, what if your biggest content problem isn't that you don't know what to post, but that you aren't recognizing the content you're already creating?In this episode, I'm introducing The PLOT Framework, a new framework I've developed to help travel agents find the stories hiding inside the work they're already doing.Because every time you create a proposal, you're making decisions. You're listening to what your client is actually telling you. You're navigating challenges. And you're noticing tiny details that can completely change the vacation you recommend.That's the content.PLOT gives you four places to look:P — PICK: The Decision StoryWhat did you pick, and why?L — LISTEN: The Client StoryWhat did your client say that mattered?O — OBSTACLE: The Challenge StoryWhat did you have to work around or solve?T — TINY DETAIL: The Difference StoryWhat small detail changed the recommendation or experience?We're also talking about why storytelling matters more than ever in travel agent marketing, how AI is changing the research and booking process, and why showing your discernment is more powerful than simply telling potential clients you're an expert.And this is only the beginning. Over the next four episodes, we're breaking down each part of PLOT and talking about how to recognize these stories, frame them, and turn them into Reels, carousels, emails, captions, Stories, blogs and more.YOUR HOMEWORK: Pull up the last proposal you sent and find the PLOT. Then come tell me what you found in my Instagram DMs.LINKS + RESOURCESCome talk marketing with me on InstagramConnect with me on LinkedInWatch The Social Takeoff on YouTube

In today's episode, Brock Johnson breaks down how to beat the new Instagram Reels Jail and why skip rate is the baseline metric you need to understand first. He covers why likes aren't something to obsess over, since they mostly come from followers, most accounts have a relatively low follower count, and every non-follower viewing your content is technically a stranger, plus higher views usually bring more likes anyway. The real focus is shares, which represent views from non-followers and show up as sends per reach. He  gives the basic tip of directly asking for the share, but pairing that ask with a clear reason why or a specific person to send it to. Brock also walks through the SHARE method, simple, hook, authentic, relatable, entertaining, as a framework for building shareable content, and the TRIBE framework for what actually makes something shareworthy: timely content tied to breaking news or trends, relatable content that makes people feel seen, inspiring content that motivates, beckoning content that calls on the community to act, and edgy content built around hot takes or unpopular opinions.

By ten in the morning, you're wired and foggy at the same time, reaching for sugar, caffeine, and one more scroll I already know will make me feel worse.That pattern has a real reason behind it, and it comes down to four brain chemicals that shape how we feel every day: dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. Neuroscientist TJ Power calls this system DOSE, and understanding how these four work together helps explain why your midlife energy, your focus, and that low hum of anxiety you've carried for years start to make sense in a whole new way.I have been trying to get TJ Power on the show for eight months.

ARE COUPLES IN LOVE OR CREATING CONTENT? Is the relationship real… or are they just really good at making Reels?

You're pouring hours into content (more Reels, more carousels, "maybe I need to start a YouTube channel" etc) and have convinced yourself that's what'll finally get you more clients - while barely touching the one thing that actually converts all that traffic: your website.What would actually happen if you went viral tomorrow? Would your website be ready to turn those people into paying clients, or would they land, get confused, and leave?

I've been going hard with trial reels the past 30 days - and the results have been awesome.So I wanted to share with you one strategy you can start implementing TODAY to help you improve your brand, voice - and most importantly - engagement.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson is breaking down 9 Instagram post ideas that generated 597K views on Reels, giving you a practical framework you can apply to your own content calendar. He covers gamification tactics like most-liked comment contests and scavenger hunts, identity callout hooks ("keep watching if...", generational comparisons), and challenge-based content like the 1-mile-per-follower format and 20-minute daily workouts. He also walks through immediate action prompts, transformation reveals (before/after, Day 1 vs. Day 100, time-lapse builds), and teaching formats using whiteboards, projectors, and slideshows. Brock rounds out the list with lighter formats: the "who I do it for" joke angle, caveman talk delivery, and the bad/better/best structure for showing progression. Each of these ideas is built around a proven engagement mechanic, and he explains why they work from a psychology standpoint so you can adapt the format rather than just copy the trend.

It's about creating relevance.In this episode, you'll learn:Why creating more content won't fix an unclear marketing messageThe difference between marketing the “vehicle” and marketing the “destination”Why clients are buying much more than a 50-minute Pilates classHow to turn studio features like small classes and expert instructors into meaningful client benefitsWhy broad messaging such as “build strength” or “feel your best” can become almost invisibleHow specificity helps the right client recognize that your studio is for themWhy strong marketing joins the conversation already happening in your client's mindHow a clearer message can improve your content, sales conversations, offers, and overall studio positioningThis episode is for you if you've been consistently posting, emailing, trying different offers, or experimenting with social media - but you still aren't seeing the steady flow of qualified new clients you want.If you're ready to build a more profitable, sustainable boutique fitness studio with clearer marketing, stronger systems, better retention, and a business that works as a whole, learn more about Thrive, my business coaching program for boutique fitness studio owners, at springthree.com/thrive.Got a question for Seran?

GAW   Text Dear WLS or Reviews +1 743 500 2171 Public   Show Titles   Dear WLS WINNER Question from Anonymous Coward from Maryland Hello guys I recently just found you guys on spotify. I live pretty close to river edge tactical. I have a question for you guys. I've been getting pretty hardcore into training. I have a nice plate carrier, gun belt.They're all set up.I have decent rifles and pistols. I cannot find anywhere where I can train and learn and just have fun. I've been to a few ranges close to me And you can't really do anything there as you guys probably know . Just seeing, if you guys know anywhere, or does river edge tactical do that kind of stuff. Thank you Question from Anonymous Coward from Texas I asked this question a year or 2 ago. Jeremy happened to be gone when you read it and you all went “fuck, I don't know. That would be a great question for Jeremy”. So here's hoping he's there when it's read this time.I would like to know what kind of accuracy I can expect from a savage 99 and a Winchester 88. Those are both lever actions without a magazine tube so they can shoot pointy bullets. The biggest part of accuracy is obviously the shooter, but compared to other rifles types of the same age: would you say they are as accurate as other bolt actions or will they still be around the same as other lever actions? If it makes a difference, the calibers I'm leaning towards are .243 and .308. Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox from Virginia Question from Jaqin Ta'Sox: Hello my favorite bundle of sticks. Since u all seem to be masters of firearms and all things related, might u answer this? I am having chicago screws. In holsters, when I make improvements or just from extended use, all the dang screws come loose. Do y'all know of a tool or method for reaching and getting the damn screws to the German specs of good n tight? Question from Karl from Nova Scotia Hey guys, I was thinking about picking up a 3D printer and was seeking out suggestions. I want a tool more than a hobby so the cheaper ones you need to tinker with are off the table. I heard the Bamboo printers were good “just works” solutions but from my understanding the company has done some shitty things recently and Internet connectivity and forced firmware updates are required to use their printers. Is there a high quality printer that I can keep and use offline that you would recommend? Keep up the great show, thanks, Karl #BlameCanada Question from typicalpnwguy from Oregon Evening gents, Im looking at building a 4.5″ suppressed 10/22 in a chassis for fun. Debating on the polymer sb tactical chassis or the Fletcher hall aluminum chassis. Is there a major pro/con of either (besides price)?Thanks for your deep thought out answer to this manner… -typicalpnwguy Question from Anonymous Coward from Oregon If WLS was a Vine/Reels/Tik Tok or meme, which one would describe you all the best? For me, the Reels where the two dudes are arguing over the witches from Wizard of Oz.

I wanted to take today to talk about creating trial reels and making your content feel human again. (And yes, this applies to all the social media apps, not just Instagram!) The old advice of removing “I” and “my” from your content actually makes your content less engaging, and switching to more personalized hooks can make a massive difference in your engagement rates.

Are you using ChatGPT to create graphics for your business? I get it, it feels like the dream. You tip in your details, out pops a flyer, and you get to move on with your day. But in this podcast, I'm sharing something that might make you rethink that workflow... because what AI is spitting out for you might actually be quietly pushing your clients away. I've been doing some anecdotal research on this: running Reels, reading comments, talking to people... and what came back genuinely surprised me. Everyday people, not just designers, can spot an AI graphic. And when they can? They're less likely to trust the business, engage with the content, or even show up to the event being promoted. That's a big deal. This isn't about going anti-AI. I use AI too (mostly for writing, because that's not my strongest suit). But I do want to share why using it for your graphics specifically comes with some real costs, and what I'd actually love for you to do instead. Free Canva Masterclass: Design Tools to $100k

What apps do you actually need to create great social media content?In this video, I'm sharing the content creation apps I use just about every day on my iPhone - from recording and editing videos to creating Reels, organizing B-roll, repurposing content and using AI to speed up my workflow.The good news? You don't need dozens of apps to create great content!I'm a big believer in keeping your content creation process simple. Your phone can do a LOT on its own, and a few go-to apps can make creating, editing and repurposing content so much easier.In this podcst, I share how I use:

How do you become the best version of yourself and level up your life when fear keeps you stuck?You've prayed, journaled, researched, saved 47 Reels, and asked God for another sign. Baby, God heard you the first six times.

Instagram's algorithm took over the show again, and this one's a chaotic ride through everything currently living in the feed. There's a street interview response about fat people and plane tickets that gets more unhinged with every line, a viral story about a woman who ran three full-time jobs at once and ranked in the top 10% at every single one, and an ongoing debate about what actually counts as illegal versus what just gets you fired.On the fitness side, the scroll delivers some real talk too: protein brownies that taste like dried-out cat, why 180 grams of protein a day isn't necessary unless there's a bodybuilding show on the calendar, and the difference between wanting “Pilates arms” and just wanting muscle. There's also a debate worth having about whether weight loss and quality of life are actually two separate things or just two sides of the same coin.Add in a Florida man who wore 11 shirts through airport security to dodge a bag fee and a woman who faked not speaking English for six years until trivia night blew her cover, and it's another reminder that the internet never runs out of material.

In Episode 680 of the New Media Show, host Rob Greenlee welcomes Steven Goldstein, founder and CEO of Amplifi Media, for a timely, future-leaning discussion. We have entered the Liquid Content Era. A podcast conversation can now become an audio episode, full-length YouTube video, Spotify video, Apple Podcasts video, vertical clips, social posts, articles, newsletters, searchable transcripts, and potentially AI-discovered answers. The underlying content may be the same, but the way people encounter and consume it varies by platform. That creates an enormous opportunity for creators. It also creates a measurement problem. Podcasting built much of its advertising business around the download. That metric helped turn an emerging medium into a legitimate advertising marketplace, but Steven argues that it no longer adequately represents how audiences consume modern shows. Downloads were created in an era when bandwidth was limited and podcast applications often downloaded episodes to devices before the listener played them. Today, streaming is increasingly immediate, video consumption is growing, audiences move between devices, and clips can sometimes reach more people than the original episode. The question is no longer simply:  How many times was the podcast downloaded? The better question may be: How many people actually listened to, watched, encountered the advertising, and engaged with the creator's content across the entire media ecosystem? Why advertisers need this change. Large brands already buy television, web, streaming video, social, and other digital media through dashboards that provide comparable impression-based reporting. Podcasting remains fragmented across RSS analytics, platform dashboards, YouTube views, Spotify data, and different definitions of what constitutes meaningful exposure. That fragmentation makes podcast media harder to buy at scale. Steven explains that advertisers do not want separate teams manually reconciling podcast audio, video, clips, and platform metrics. If podcasting wants to attract substantially more advertising investment, it needs to fit more easily into the systems marketers already use. That leads into one of the episode’s central topics: the AMP Accords. The Alliance for Measurement in Podcasting was formed to address three persistent problems: Defining a podcast Standardizing exposure metrics across platforms Creating a more consistent way to evaluate advertising effectiveness. The AMP Accords describe their goal as establishing cross-platform measurement standards spanning open RSS and closed platforms. One of the biggest proposed shifts is moving toward a 30-second play as a standardized exposure metric across audio and video. Steven is less concerned about whether 30 seconds ultimately proves to be the perfect number than he is about establishing a common starting point. Media measurement has always evolved. Steven draws on his experience in radio, where audience measurement moved from handwritten listening diaries to electronic Portable People Meters. The change was disruptive. Some formats gained audience under the new methodology, and others lost it. But advertisers demanded better information, and the industry eventually adapted. Podcasting is facing a similar moment. The industry should not allow the pursuit of a perfect measurement system to delay the adoption of a more useful one. The AMP framework also addresses advertising impressions and audience measurement. That matters because an advertiser ultimately wants to know whether someone actually received an advertising message, not simply whether a media file was automatically delivered to a device. Rob and Steven discuss the tension this creates for established podcast measurement. Some publishers remain strongly committed to the download because it has provided consistency and an open measurement methodology for many years. Steven gives the download credit for helping build the podcast advertising business but believes the medium now needs to move forward. The shift becomes even more important when video enters the equation. YouTube has become a major podcast-consumption platform with sophisticated analytics on views, watch time, audience behavior, retention, and discovery. Spotify has added video. Apple is expanding its video capabilities through HLS. Meanwhile, audiences increasingly move fluidly between audio and video rather than seeing them as completely separate media products. This raises another difficult question: What exactly is a podcast now? The AMP Accords propose a broad podcast definition that encompasses audio or video and open or closed distribution, provided the program remains meaningful without requiring constant visual attention. Steven likes the basic framework but emphasizes that audiences will ultimately shape the word's meaning. People already call shows “podcasts” based on format and experience rather than on technical infrastructure. Most listeners do not know whether a show uses RSS feeds, direct platform uploads, streaming video, or another delivery method. Rob raises a concern about defining podcasting too strongly through an audio lens. If a video must always function perfectly with the viewer's eyes closed, does that discourage creators from investing in richer visual storytelling? That question becomes increasingly important as video production matures. A modern video podcast can include visual demonstrations, graphics, archival material, set design, screen sharing, camera movement, and other elements that provide additional value to the viewer. Rob argues that creators should retain the freedom to build excellent audio and excellent video experiences, even when the two versions are not identical. The discussion then moves to another major part of liquid content: short-form video. Shorts or Clips were initially treated primarily as promotional tools designed to push people toward the full episode. That assumption is changing. Some audience members may never consume the full show. They may know a creator entirely through Shorts, Reels, TikTok, or other excerpts. Steven describes this as both an opportunity and a potential problem. If a creator publishes the four best moments from an hour-long conversation, some viewers may decide those clips provide everything they wanted from the episode. That means short-form may represent a separate audience, not simply a funnel into long-form media. At the same time, social clips have become an increasingly important discovery mechanism. Creators cannot simply ignore the places where audiences spend their time. That is the essence of liquid content: the audience determines where and how the media gets consumed. Artificial intelligence adds another layer. Steven believes creators should increasingly think beyond traditional SEO, Search Engine Optimization, toward AEO, Answer Engine Optimization. AI systems are increasingly becoming discovery engines themselves. Instead of searching through a list of websites or podcast episodes, a user may ask an AI system a specific question and receive a direct answer assembled from available sources. That shift could be especially valuable for niche creators. A podcast with deep authority in a narrow subject may become an important source of AI-generated answers if its content is well-structured, transcribed, accessible, and clearly associated with expertise in that category. Rob expands the discussion into recommendation systems. YouTube already uses AI extensively to determine which content should be presented to which audience. Similar systems will increasingly influence discovery throughout digital media. That creates a harder competitive environment. Steven argues that mediocre content will be crushed. As audiences face effectively unlimited choices and algorithms become better at filtering those choices, simply producing acceptable content may no longer be enough. Shows need differentiation, relevance, expertise, strong personalities, or storytelling that holds attention. That does not mean every successful podcast needs millions of listeners. Steven points to niche podcasts serving highly specific professional communities. A show about HVAC systems may never become a mainstream entertainment hit, but it can still become an extremely valuable business if it reaches the right technicians, manufacturers, buyers, and industry decision-makers. Influence within a valuable niche can matter more than raw audience scale. The conversation closes by examining the tension between short-form and long-form media. Consumers are time-starved. Summaries, clips, AI-generated takeaways, and compressed content are becoming increasingly useful. Yet long-form is not disappearing. Joe Rogan, Acquired, Dan Carlin, and other successful long-form creators demonstrate that audiences will still spend hours with content when the storytelling, expertise, personality, or subject deserves the investment. The real challenge is earning the audience's time. In the Liquid Content Era, creators are no longer simply publishing episodes. They are building adaptable media assets that can move across platforms, formats, screens, algorithms, and audiences. The measurement systems now need to catch up.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through 25 psychology tricks that make Reels go viral, organized by the exact job each one does in a video. He starts with hooks and openers — the curiosity gap, pattern interrupts, callout targeting, negativity bias, and open loops — and explains how each one stops the scroll in the first second. From there Brock moves into retention mechanics like the Zeigarnik effect, rapid cuts, visual countdowns, contrast framing, and micro-cliffhangers that keep people watching to the end. He breaks down the emotional triggers that make content land, including social proof, loss aversion, relatability shock, righteous anger, and aspiration mirroring. Brock also covers the sharing psychology behind identity signaling, "send this to" prompts, in-group language, and measured controversy, then finish with engagement drivers like the deliberate error, binary questions, fill-in-the-blank prompts, reciprocity, and curiosity-based CTAs. For each trick he gives a concrete example across different niches so you can see how to apply it to your own content, whether you're in fitness, finance, cooking, or anything else. The goal is to give you a practical toolkit you can pull from every time you sit down to script a Reel. Watch On YouTube 

Episode 260: How I Sold My Brand-New Course Without Posting on Social MediaWhat if you could launch and sell a brand-new course without constantly posting on Instagram, creating Reels, or chasing the algorithm?In Episode 260, I'm taking you behind the curtain and sharing exactly what I did to launch and sell my brand-new course using email marketing—without posting about it on social media.I'm breaking down my launch strategy, how often I emailed my audience, what I sent, how I followed up with people who didn't open the first email, how I created urgency around pricing, and what I learned from the sales that came in.I'll also share the real numbers behind the launch, what worked, what I would do differently, and why I believe email marketing is one of the most powerful tools you can build into your business.If you're a coach, course creator, entrepreneur, podcaster, content creator, or online business owner who feels like you have to constantly create social media content to make sales, this episode will give you a different perspective.Inside this episode, we're talking about:How to launch a digital course without relying on social mediaMy email marketing strategy for selling a new offerHow I used daily emails to build awareness and drive salesWhy sending to unopens mattersHow I created urgency around my launch and pricingThe difference between audience building and actually making offersWhat happened when I increased the priceWhy your email list can become one of your most valuable business assetsWhat I learned from this launch that I'll use for future courses and programsYou don't need to be everywhere.You need to know who you're talking to, what problem you're solving, and how to consistently make the offer.Let's pull back the curtain.

Instagram just quietly rolled out one of its biggest quality-of-life updates, and almost nobody is talking about it.In this episode, I break down Instagram's new "Your Algorithm" feature and show you exactly how to use it to take control of what shows up in your Reels feed.

Your feed shapes your ideas, inspiration, and ultimately the content you create. I'll explain how curating your algorithm can help you discover better content, stay ahead of trends, and improve your own social media strategy.I also dive into one of country music's biggest "what if" stories—Dierks Bentley reveals the hit songs he turned down, including "Whiskey Lullaby," "Drink a Beer," "I Drive Your Truck," and "Watching Airplanes." We talk about why artists pass on songs that become massive hits and what creators can learn from trusting their instincts.In this episode:• How to find Instagram's hidden "Your Algorithm" feature• How to train your Reels feed to show better content• Why this update matters for businesses and creators• What the feature can—and can't—do• The surprising list of hit songs Dierks Bentley passed on• Lessons in content, creativity, and making the right decisionsIf you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone looking to grow their business, improve their content, or simply take back control of their Instagram feed.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson is breaking down 10 recent leaks and updates about the Instagram algorithm, several coming directly from Adam Mosseri and Meta. He covers why Reels now generate more than 4X the interactions of single-image posts, how average Reel watch time has more than doubled year over year to 8.5 seconds, and what Metricool's analysis of 24 million posts reveals about asking for engagement — including that asking for likes actually gets you 5% fewer likes, while comments jump 203% and saves climb 92% when you prompt for those instead. Brock also gets into the practical tactics you can apply right now: editing comments, reordering your profile, and writing a different caption for each carousel slide. Then he tackles the bigger shifts — Meta's plan to replace 90% of its content review staff with AI, why removing bots from your account could hurt more than help, and why Mosseri says the "best time to post" is a myth despite HubSpot, Sprout Social, Hootsuite, Buffer, and SocialPilot all publishing conflicting windows.

Jordan Reeder sent a photo: "Hi, just wanted to show what I was doing while enjoying the awesome music on the podcast… one of these days I'd love to submit some of my music. Maybe after I chop my way through this pile of firewood! Alex Meyers emailed from Toronto: "Politically neutral Irish music does not exist. Hi Marc, I started listening to the podcast seven years ago as I took my newborn son for long walks with wireless speakers perched on his stroller so he could listen too. Now with two boys we frequently listen while we have breakfast. In a recent episode you responded to yet another listener who told you to stick to music and leave the politics alone. I am always impressed by how resolute you are in the face of these cynics, you never try to soften the message of peace, compassion, and inclusion. Also, I've always found it hilariously ironic that someone would say "leave out the politics" about IRISH music, 1/3 of all Irish songs are about oppression and kicking out the British. Have these people never listened to The Wolfe Tones or The Cranberries? Speaking of which, I highly recommend you check out the Irish rap group Kneecap. They perform in Irish/Gaeilge and English and deserve massive credit for popularizing Gaeilge. They are firmly on the side of the oppressed from Ireland to Palestine and their latest album is "Fenian", which should tell you something about their politics. Keep up the great work!"
