Follow Tracy Beavers on LinkedIn. ㅤ Nearly 700 episodes in and business coaching had somehow never come up, which is strange given how many people started calling themselves one around 2020. Tracy Beavers has actually been doing it at an elite level for two decades, and she gets refreshingly blunt with Jay Schwedelson about real price tags, the bad actors taking $50,000 for nothing, and the one sentence that should make you walk away from a sales call immediately. Also settled here: Romance, Arkansas is a real place, and brides drive there just for the postmark. ㅤ Best Moments: (03:15) Everyone at the top of their game has a coach, athletes and Warren Buffett included (04:43) Two signs it is time to hire someone, and one of them is how you talk to yourself (06:09) Where business coaching stops and actual therapy needs to start (09:02) How to properly vet a coach before you hand over a single dollar (11:58) Real numbers on what an engagement costs, and why the range is the Wild Wild West (13:16) Why the access you get between calls matters more than the calls themselves

There's also a date on the calendar that quietly changes what your content should be about for the rest of the year, and most teams are going to miss it. Then things go completely sideways into a documentary trailer and a televised double date that genuinely should not exist. ㅤ Best Moments: (00:38) What Astra actually is, and why better images and better copy are the wrong thing to expect (01:45) The kind of prompt that sends the model on a real competitive research mission instead of a lookup (02:30) The repetitive task hiding in every marketing org that should be first in line (03:16) Why September 15th flips what people are actually willing to download (04:20) The consumer-side play that goes past Black Friday and Cyber Monday (05:17) A documentary trailer so bizarre it hijacked the back half of the episode

Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray dig into AI summaries, the feature already rewriting preheaders inside Gmail, Apple Mail, and Copilot, and why the first 150 characters of your send now matter more than the design around them. There's also a detour into Burning Man, five straight years of Coachella, and Daniel's firm position on tents. ㅤ Best Moments: (02:02) Daniel explains what live text actually is and why AI put it everywhere (02:49) The one email thing Jay says will matter most over the next twelve months (03:22) Copilot hits thirty million paid users and why that changes B2B email (03:59) What counts as live text, and why your JPEG and your alt text do not (05:24) Half your preheaders will not be your preheaders within six months (06:48) The prettiest email stops winning and email structure rewinds fifteen years

Jay Schwedelson walks through the show-up rate data that flips the calendar on its head, plus a one-word tweak to your event name that lifts registrations on its own. There's also fresh Goldcast data on the single best day to run a webinar, and it's the day 92% of marketers refuse to touch. ㅤ Best Moments: (00:36) Why September has the second-highest webinar show-up rate of the year and August has the worst (01:17) The recycling move that lets you launch a September webinar without creating anything new (02:27) "Webinar" is the category, not the name, and calling it that is costing you registrations (03:01) Worldata data showing a 24% registration lift from swapping "webinar" for "insider session" (03:23) The one extra word that adds another 12% lift to your registration rate (04:29) New Goldcast data on why Friday between 11 AM and 2 PM Eastern beats Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (04:55) Only 7.4% of webinars happen on Fridays, and what that gap means for you

Jay Schwedelson breaks down what actually earns those citations, why Reddit and X just made opposite bets on lead gen forms, and the three video openers pulling the most watch time on Instagram right now. There is also a Love Island take nobody asked for. ㅤ Best Moments: (00:38) New AirOps data showing over 70% of pages ChatGPT cites were updated within the last 12 months (01:52) Why adding the current year or month to your offer titles lifts your odds of showing up in AI results (03:00) The single ad format that beats everything else across LinkedIn, Meta, and X (03:46) Reddit is killing on-site lead forms while X quietly brings theirs back (05:03) Adam Mosseri says watch time is the whole game for organic reach on Instagram (05:50) The three video hooks people are actually staying for, and the intro you should drop immediately

Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray trade the exact syntax, the Grok prompts, and the filters that let you see what's actually working before you write a single word of content. It also starts with a bleeding heel and a lost loafer, so, you know, stick around. ㅤ Best Moments: (00:47) Daniel spent more on one pair of shoes than ever, then lost half of them at a conference (01:47) Why X is the only social platform you can actually query like a database (02:13) The Grok prompt that surfaces high-engagement posts in your niche from the last 48 hours (03:21) Advanced search is back on X, and Jay spells out the exact string to type (04:43) Layering in minimum retweets, comments, date ranges, and media-only filters (06:30) If the syntax is hard to follow by ear, have ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude write it for you

He tells listeners he is easy to find online, with LinkedIn as the simplest place to reach him. ㅤ Give Ross Simmonds three hours and a blank calendar and he will map out exactly how to get your company cited inside ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity, off the cuff, without knowing the question was coming. Jay Schwedelson hands him that challenge two minutes in, then keeps pulling the thread through connectors, dusty old blog posts, and the reason most people's AI visibility numbers are quietly lying to them. There is also a fantasy football draft in here, which somehow turns into the most convincing argument of the whole conversation. ㅤ Best Moments: (02:02) A three hour, no warning game plan for getting your brand cited by the major AI models (05:37) What a connector actually is, explained like you have never touched one (07:59) Why your old posts are gems sitting in a treasure box nobody opens (09:52) One message said 100 different ways beats 100 new ideas, and Nike proves it (14:12) The memory trap that has executives celebrating rankings that are not real (20:06) Jay drafts an entire fantasy football team through ChatGPT and gets graded on it

Jay Schwedelson has that one, plus a lawsuit going after the sleep score you check before you open your eyes, and two subject line stats that argue the exact opposite of the best practice everyone keeps repeating. Stick around for the email data, but the Oura story is the one you'll end up texting someone about. ㅤ Best Moments: (00:30) LinkedIn's AI slop report button gets used over a million times in a matter of weeks (01:00) The claim that flagged content is now pulling 40% fewer views, and why the feed doesn't feel like it (01:45) Oura gets hit with a class action over whether a ring can actually measure sleep at all (03:00) Subject lines under 15 characters are quietly beating open rates by more than 15% (04:00) The case for writing a subject line so long it gets cut off on purpose (04:45) ChatGPT advertising rolls into 31 more European markets this week
