Ever feel like life is out to get you? Divorces, broken partnerships, a business that tanks… Over the past three years, I’ve been slapped with problem after problem, change after change stripped down to nothing and stuck in survival mode. I found a handful of lessons that helped me move through the chaos faster, rebuild
Ever post two almost-identical reels and one explodes with 2 M views while the other flops at 8 K? That happened to me, and I was scratching my head. I dug into Content Lab’s analytics and realized it wasn’t just the framework it was the teaching. The videos that blew up weren’t simple tutorials. They
Ever feel like your spot could be filled by someone else? Last week, hiking in Flagstaff, I hit the snowline and had an epiphany: we all operate like we’re replaceable even in our own niches. Fast forward to our team retreat in Telluride (side note: those peaks align with Orion!), and I realized this replaceable
Ever scroll past a post that nails your exact pain point and think, “How did they get inside my head?” If it doesn’t happen every day, we need to fix that. I used to watch teams craft generic ads that spoke to everyone and resonated with no one. Then I discovered diagnosing: a simple shift
“Brandon, how do I attract more buyers into my funnel?” I get this question all the time. And here’s the truth: even with a great offer, only 2.5-5% of the people in your funnel are ever going to buy. That’s just how conversion works. So if your sales are falling flat, it’s usually not a
Ever feel like you’re preaching into the void? You launch your solution, shout about the features… and hear crickets. They’re not ignoring you they just can’t see why they need it. I used to do the same thing: start at the finish line. Pitch first, connect later. No wonder nobody tuned in. In today’s world,
Ever felt like you’re pouring great content into the void and getting crickets in return? That was me until I realized I was skipping the most critical step in marketing: the bridge. Imagine you’re driving 40 mph and your car starts shaking. A sign that reads “We fix timing belts” won’t make you stop you
When I started teaching this four years ago, I’d ask people, “Is your messaging off?” and get blank stares. Nobody knew what messaging even was. They just knew their content wasn’t working. So I changed one thing. I started saying: “Is your content filled with great information, but you’re not seeing the sales or engagement?
I’ll be honest I didn’t want to talk about AI this year. I thought it would steal the human magic from messaging. But after testing it, I’ve seen its power…and its pitfalls. Back when I started, writing killer copy meant years of mastery. Now, everyone jumps into ChatGPT, types “write my Facebook ad,” and wonders
Have you ever blasted out a perfect product pitch… only to hear crickets? I’ve been there. When I first taught messaging, I’d ask, “Want to fix your messaging?” Their response? Blank stares. Because they didn’t even know messaging was the problem. They knew their content wasn’t landing. They knew they were getting zero engagement. So
