I ran a little experiment on our parenting brand: two almost identical videos, same topic, same style. One got 205 views. The other exploded to 64,000 views in 36 hours—and it’s still climbing. What changed? A tiny psychological tweak in our communication. Here’s the backstory: I’ve been knee-deep in AI, solo parenting chaos, and business
What if you could give every student a one-on-one coach without ever filming another video? I had Jenna Soard back on the mic this week. she’s the AI branding guru who went from teaching Canva to running a $5.5M business with zero video modules. We dove deep into the exact tools and strategies she uses
Everyone’s losing their minds over AI. Some hail it as the greatest thing since sliced bread. Others warn it’s going to kill authenticity. Meanwhile, sales and followers are swinging wildly all around us. I got caught in the swirl myself. After a tough year—divorce, stalled launches, ghosted inboxes—I realized I’d lost sight of why I’m
Ever wondered why AI isn’t the magic bullet for your messaging? Most people jump into ChatGPT or Gemini expecting it will fix their copy, sales page, or launch strategy—only to find they’re amplifying what’s already broken. I saw this firsthand when my daughter came home upset over a silly granola‐bar comment. Instead of a generic
How do you launch a business, partner with your spouse, and still be fully present for your kids? Sounds impossible, right? I sat down with Dan Colos—he and his wife, Nicole, ditched the 9–5 provider/caregiver model. They closed their granola side hustle, co-lead her personal brand, and raise three daughters under one roof…without losing their
We all want content that grabs clicks, followers, and sales. But if you’re only leaning on urgency and social proof, you’re missing out on the deeper magic: belief shifting. I used a parenting analogy on the podcast—comparing a boss yelling “Do it now!” versus calmly asking for help—to show why persuasive triggers spark action but
Ever feel like everyone’s screaming at you to hustle until your eyeballs bleed? But cling to “work-life balance” and they say you’ll never make real money. As a dad, I’ve been there. I need a business that pays the bills without missing bedtime stories. That’s why I sat down with Dan and Nicole Culver—two of
Sixteen years ago I walked away from the traditional career path. And I haven’t looked back. Between selling websites in college, building SEO niches, launching service retainers, coaching, and exploring coffee shops and AI apps, I’ve generated somewhere between $10M and $20M without ever punching a clock. Today on the podcast, I’m pulling back the
You’d think I’d seen it all… until 2023 hit. Between a painful divorce, a business model I outgrew, and revenue crashing, it felt like everything I loved was slipping through my fingers. I had to relearn how to love myself, how to let go, and how to rebuild from the ashes. Today on the podcast
Your AI images look impressive… until someone notices the extra finger or robotic grin. That’s exactly what I saw when I first dabbled in AI branding. Without a solid process, you end up with weird artifacts, cold-traffic ads that flop, and zero ROI on your “pretty” creatives. Enter Jenna Soard. She’s the AI brand wizard
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
Have you felt your industry flip upside-down overnight? Pricing, launches, even the way people buy courses it’s been a whirlwind. I’ve seen more change in the past few months than in years prior. And if you’re stuck wondering how to not just survive, but actually grow right now, I’ve got you. I spent eight months
