    Episode 23: Will AI Replace Service Based Businesses?

    In this episode, I cover: Why I believe AI agents will replace support functions first and how I’m positioning to ride that wave, not get crushed by it. The lens I use to evaluate content and ads: qualified leads → sales (not views, likes, or followers). How I handle the iteration phase: what I measure, what I tweak, and what I work on while data accumulates. A simple loop you can steal: What worked? What didn’t? What’s the next controlled test? How to stay patient, focused, and moving forward when you’re between launches and learning cycles.

    Episode 22: Stuck at 300 Views? Steal These Tactics From a 1 M+ Creator

    Ever feel stuck at a few hundred views no matter how much you post? In this episode I break down the three biggest insights I stole from a creator with over one million followers and how I’m applying them right now to push my own organic reach past the 1 K‑view mark. I walk you through: The “casual hook” formula I’m using to grab attention in the first three seconds without gimmicks. A simple movement cue that instantly boosts watch time (yes, even if you’re camera‑shy). My AI + automation stack for turning one video into a week’s worth of multi‑platform content—no extra filming required. By the end you’ll have a plug‑and‑play playbook you can test today to scale your audience faster and convert cold scrollers into warm leads. Press play, take notes, and let me know which tactic you’re trying first. If you get value, share the episode with a creator friend who’s ready to level up their reach.

I’ll walk you through the five psychology-based angles they tested, and which ones worked best (spoiler: it's not what most founders are doing). Then we zoom out: how to apply this to your own messaging, how to stay consistent even when things aren’t clicking, and how to start using AI the smart way—not the gimmicky way. Whether you're writing ads, building offers, or trying to scale without burning out, this one’s packed with practical ideas you can test immediately. Listen ‘til the end for a mindset shift that could save your next campaign—and your energy.

    In this episode, I’m walking you through what I’ve been learning and applying in my business over the last week, from mindset to marketing.
