    One-Man Billion-Dollar Comapany With AI ft. Samar Hussain

    Comment the word MAC down below for a chance to win a Mac Mini 💻🔥 and a FREE seat to Samar's masterclass on February 26th 5pm est One-Man Billion-Dollar Company With AI Imagine a future where a single founder can credibly build a billion-dollar company—and the backbone is AI. This episode breaks down what it actually takes to make that real: not hype, but systems, discipline, and community that turn ideas into repeatable outcomes. From onstage workshops to late-night research sprints, we share the moves that compress timelines, lift margins, and keep your team locked in on what matters. Samar Hussain joins us to unpack the operating system behind his momentum: live workshops where attendees open laptops and ship working tools on the spot, a quiet but potent paid Telegram community that prioritizes action over chatter, and a relentless research habit that keeps him ahead of model upgrades and new workflows. We get tactical on building internal AI tools: – Call scoring systems that kill fraud in minutes – Transaction audits that slash subscription bloat – Data pipelines that replace gut feel with real forecasting – Workflow automation that turns chaos into clarity The payoff is speed. When your team can wield AI against real process flows, you stop firefighting and start forecasting. We also go deep on focus and proximity. Splitting attention across too many verticals tanks profits and spikes stress. By picking one revenue engine, consolidating roles, and cutting redundant expenses, growth becomes smoother and more defensible. Proximity amplifies it: surround yourself with operators who give blunt feedback and set a higher bar. That environment forces sharper decisions on hiring (hello Gen Z AI super-users), training, and saying no to shiny offers that drag you off course. Looking ahead, we outline a serious plan for MiamiCon: an AI-powered event built around personalization, structured for operators in the room, and designed to deliver compounding edges—not fluff. If you’re ready to replace noise with data, hype with hands-on builds, and clutter with clean systems, this one is for you. Huge shoutout to our sponsors: Ringba – The leader in call tracking and performance marketing infrastructure. If you’re in pay-per-call, this is the backbone. NewsBreak – They’re offering up to $5,000 in matching ad spend. If you’re an affiliate or media buyer looking for new scale outside of Meta and Google, this is a serious opportunity.

    Goats Take The Stage At Affiliate Summit West 2026 | Adam Young David Stodolak Carlos Corona Boris Shvarts Samar Hussain

    📞💰 Phone Calls That Print: The 2026 Pay-Per-Call Playbook LIVE from Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas 🎰🔥 Hosted by The LFG Show’s David Stodolak A dead offer doesn’t mean dead demand. The money didn’t disappear — it moved to the phone. In this heavyweight panel recorded live in Vegas, we break down the macro shift reshaping performance marketing right now: consumer-initiated inbound calls are outperforming form leads and outbound at scale. Spam labeling, falling connection rates, and tighter regulations are crushing dialers — while calls deliver the highest intent, cleaner compliance, and real conversations that actually close. Adam Young, Founder & CEO of Ringba, lays out the macro reality from the front lines. Billion-dollar call flows, scale signals from Ringba’s GOAT Club, and why inbound calls are becoming the most defensible channel in the industry heading into 2026. Then we get tactical 🔥 We map how top operators are diversifying beyond Meta into TikTok, NewsBreak, Snapchat, CTV, radio-style audio, and even direct mail — and how those channels only work when paired with serious call tracking, instant routing, and full-funnel attribution. Samar Hussain breaks the creative bottleneck wide open. JSON-driven prompting, Sora and VEO pipelines, variation engines, strict naming conventions, and daily UGC-style output that stays compliant while slashing costs. Learn how to extend 15-second model limits, structure testing cadences, and connect performance back to prompts so scaling becomes systematic — not luck. On the ops side, Boris Shvarts from Pitch Perfect explains how to run onshore warm transfers at 20k+ calls per day with rev-share alignment, carrier approvals, supervisor ratios, DID registration, and stress-proof tech stacks — all priced to buyer CPA and LTV. Carlos Corona Jr. shows how to stop begging for cap by partnering directly with operators, automating real-time quoting across auto, health, and life, and launching prepaid marketplaces so overflow turns into revenue instead of waste. David Stodolak closes with the biggest blind spots most marketers are missing: fragmented, local, high-ticket services like HVAC, plumbing, electrical, pest control, med spas, and elective surgery — plus the massive upside still sitting in Spanish-language programs. The winning pattern for 2026 is clear 🚀 Diversify channels Capture every variable Manufacture compliant creatives at scale Own enough of the back end to protect margins Humans still close humans on important buys. Build around that — and you’ll outlast every offer cycle 🐻🍯 Sponsors 🤝🔥 Ringba — Call tracking, routing, and monetization at scale [https://www.ringba.com/lfg](https://www.ringba.com/lfg) NewsBreak is matching up to $5,000 in ad spend when you sign up with the LFG link 👇

    Inside the #1 TikTok Shop in America | Early Opportunity, Real Money ft. Jose Torres

    Stop scrolling — you’re looking at the early days of a gold rush 🛒🔥 TikTok Shop isn’t saturated. It’s not “late.” It’s still in the early stages of its real potential, and the people who understand that right now are building a massive head start. In this episode, we go deep on TikTok Shop with Jose Torres, founder of Creatify — the #1 TikTok Shop operation in America 🇺🇸🏆. Not hype. Not theory. Real systems, real scale, real revenue. This conversation makes one thing crystal clear: TikTok Shop today feels a lot like Facebook ads or Amazon in the early days. The algorithm is still generous, the infrastructure is still forming, and creators and brands who move now are locking in unfair advantages before the masses arrive. We break down exactly how the machine works: • How creators qualify and get approved • How to request product samples the right way • Why guessing kills momentum and a tight creative formula wins every time • How top brands coordinate thousands of UGC posts that turn into a compounding content engine across TikTok and Meta The numbers are eye-opening 📈 You’ll hear real examples — including a creator who jumped from roughly 20–30K in monthly profit to 430K in a single month — and brands scaling by treating TikTok Shop content like performance media, not random posts. We also get specific on what TikTok is prioritizing right now: • Skincare and supplements are leading the charge • Home goods and select niches still work with the right story and on-camera trust • Live shopping is exploding overseas and slowly ramping in the U.S. • Short-form UGC remains the primary driver of sales today Whether you’re: • A brand sitting on inventory • A creator chasing 15–25% commissions per sale • Or someone who feels like they’re always late to trends …the playbook is simple: Align product and persona Hook fast Show benefits visually Ask for the sale Then scale what works with discipline instead of chasing hype 💰🚀 We also talk sustainability. Big ambition requires structure. Meditation, training, routine health checks, and consistency are what keep you sharp when the grind hits hard. The opportunity is massive, but the winners are the ones who can stay in the game long enough to compound. If you’ve been waiting for a real entry point into TikTok Shop, this is it.

    The Niche Financing Play Everyone Overlooks ft. Derek Jarr

    Your equity is up, cash is down, and monthly payments are crushing budgets 📉🏠 In this episode, we sit down with Derek Jarr of Stay Frank to break down a practical alternative for homeowners who can’t — or won’t — take on new debt. We unpack home equity investments, a model that provides cash today with no monthly payments and a payoff at sale or refinance. If you’re sitting on a 2–4% mortgage you won’t touch, a sub-620 credit score, and five or six figures of equity locked inside your walls, this could be the bridge between high-interest cards and real financial stability. We walk through exactly how the structure works using real numbers, the trade-offs versus HELOCs and cash-out refis, and why this isn’t “cheap money” — it’s a strategic bridge. Derek explains the guardrails that keep deals safe, including typical credit bands, minimum accessible equity, and loan-to-value thresholds. We also explore when a sale-leaseback can be the smarter move 🧠 Selling the home to an operator while leasing it back allows homeowners to delay a move and unlock funds now. This can be especially powerful for retirees or anyone facing rising HOA dues, insurance premiums, and property taxes. For performance marketers, this is a greenfield opportunity 🚀 Search demand is still thin because consumers don’t fully understand the category, which creates massive upside for operators who lead with education. Declined refi leads, HELOC fallout, debt settlement lists, and distressed homeowner data can convert extremely well when you qualify properly and transfer warm calls. We dig into payout structures, two-to-four-week funding timelines, and why early adopters can capture outsized returns before this category goes mainstream. If you’re ready to test a niche that solves a real problem and rewards operators who actually do the work, this episode maps the playbook.

    From Teen Hustle To Industry Leader | Affiliate Legend Harrison Gevirtz

    Where would this industry be without Harrison? Long before playbooks, gurus, or conference stages, Harrison was already in the trenches building, breaking, and rebuilding the systems that performance marketing and pay-per-call still run on today. He isn’t adjacent to the story — he’s a central character in it. A true pioneer whose fingerprints are all over how this industry scaled, stabilized, and survived. In this episode, we sit down with Harrison, and his story is straight out of the wild west of the internet. It starts at 13 years old — spamming the internet, flipping coins on eBay, living in sketchy forums, and hacking early SEO before anyone knew what SEO even was. That chaos turned into momentum. That momentum turned into a seven-figure run before most people finish college. And then came the real test: scaling into a nine-figure affiliate network that exploded under bad AR, weak controls, and adrenaline-fueled decisions. The wreckage became the lesson. We go deep on the things most operators never talk about: – Why promising wires you can’t send destroys trust instantly – How weekly, no-minimum payouts quietly kill businesses – Why radical transparency with advertisers and traffic sources can unlock exclusive access – How one counterparty default can wipe out years of top-line wins Harrison breaks down real operator decisions: – Trade credit insurance that saved six figures – Modeling payroll for twelve months of zero cash flow – Choosing durability over hype, ego, and dopamine Ringba is a core part of this story. As partners, Harrison and Adam Young helped architect the infrastructure that modern pay-per-call depends on. We talk about the early chaos of the industry, the trust failures, the lack of real controls, and how Ringba was built by operators who had already lived the downside. From call tracking to intelligent routing to marketplace liquidity, Ringba didn’t just grow with the industry — it helped define it. We also break down Ringba X, a programmatic call exchange built slowly and intentionally, prioritizing compliance, quality, and longevity in a space that usually chooses speed over stability. Built to last, not built for hype. Then comes the pivot nobody saw coming. A brutal private jet experience turned into a full-scale aviation business serving billionaires, built on 24/7 service and fair economics for aircraft owners. We break down a surgical, near break-even play that landed Grant Cardone as a client — flying him to Paris on a private jet — and why five hours of proximity at 40,000 feet can beat any conference hallway deal. If you’re a performance marketer, founder, or operator trying to scale the right way, this episode is required listening: – Communicate early – Insure receivables – Respect margins – Build real systems – Partner with people who’ve lived the downside – Keep showing up when it’s uncomfortable Sponsors: Ringba – call tracking and pay-per-call infrastructure built by operators, for operators https://www.ringba.com NewsBreak – reach local audiences at scale https://admanager.newsbreak.com/signup?utm_source=pod&utm_medium=lfg Subscribe, share this with someone who needs perspective, and drop a review telling us the one safeguard you’re implementing this week.

We sit down with Carmen Muley, CEO of Paragon Social Commerce, to unpack how creators and brands move from nice content to content that actually converts. Carmen’s path runs from China’s 2015 live streaming studios to today’s TikTok Shop surge across Spain, Germany, and the UK, and she brings an operator-level playbook for anyone who wants sales, not just views.

Carmen shares how tools like Kalodata and Fastmoss help spot trends early, plus surprising winners like olive oil, umbrellas, and seasonal Spanish ham alongside evergreen staples such as fashion, beauty, and small electronics. We also dig into the biggest brand mistakes: Skipping strategyExpecting instant resultsFailing to brief creators or briefing them poorlyCarmen ties it together with how Paragon Social Commerce supports TikTok Shop end to end, including setup, catalog and pricing, live operations, affiliate management, ads, and team training, all built on constant testing, not theory.

    How Vision, Culture, And Smart Partnerships Fuel A $10B Ambition ft. Ringba's Eric Vari & Ross Van Meter

    Two booths facing each other, stacks of signed books, and a team that somehow manages to be everywhere at once—this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to scale pay-per-call from a “nice tactic” into a true category with billion-dollar upside. We sit down with Eric Vari, VP of Sales at Ringba, alongside sales weapon Ross Van Meter, to break down the mindset, mechanics, and momentum driving Ringba’s growth. Eric explains why pay-per-call is still early innings—and how Ringba is deliberately building for the inflection point with enterprise-grade call tracking, intelligent routing, and Ringba X, a marketplace designed to add real liquidity for buyers and publishers. He also shares how Adam Young and Harrison Gevirtz push strategy forward by pressure-testing ideas, leading from the front, and reinforcing a culture where truth, speed, and ownership win. The north star is clear: real adoption, relentless innovation, global expansion—and a long-term path toward a $10B valuation. Ross brings it down to the field level. From daily content that builds trust before the show to relentless outbound that converts during and after, he details how he books 50–60 meetings per event and closes 25–30% within weeks. The playbook stays simple: start newcomers in white-hat home services, set clean KPIs, and scale what proves out. Education is a force multiplier—the Pay Per Call Revolution and the new step-by-step workbook are designed to help publishers launch faster with fewer blind spots. Partnerships complete the flywheel: a direct integration with NewsBreak unlocks a high-intent 40+ audience primed for insurance and home services, while Snapchat matched spend lowers the risk of testing new acquisition channels. If you’re a publisher, brand, or marketer tired of signal loss, soft attribution, and guesswork, this episode is a practical roadmap for turning intent into outcomes—covering how to pick a vertical, structure campaigns, and leverage platforms like NewsBreak and Snapchat for measurable conversions.
