In today’s episode of the Marketing Secrets podcast, I dive into one of my favorite strategies: creating and leveraging noise to make your products irresistible. I know firsthand how crucial it is to capture attention in a crowded marketplace, and today I’m sharing insights to help you do just that. We explore the difference between making your own noise versus aligning with noise that already exists in your industry. Both approaches have their pros and cons, but there’s a lot of potential in strategically using trends and events to drive traffic and boost sales.
I share practical ways to capitalize on seasonal and cultural events, whether it's major sports matches or the wave of New Year's resolutions. It’s about harnessing the energy already present and riding that wave to introduce your offers. These tactics may seem simple, but they can be game-changers in connecting with your audience at the right moment.
Key Highlights:
Understanding the importance of creating a reason for your customers to buy now.
How to align with trends and existing cultural moments to drive engagement.
The difference between adding bonuses versus offering discounts and why the former could be a better strategy.
Real-life examples, like how I’ve utilized big events like Black Friday or Christmas for ClickFunnels promotions.
Insights on over-delivering in all aspects of your marketing to build lasting trust and brand loyalty.
Whether you’re planning holiday campaigns or thinking ahead to 2025, this episode will give you the clarity and motivation to make your marketing stand out. Don't miss it!

On this episode of the Marketing Secrets podcast, I revisit the topic of Extreme Ownership—a principle that has shaped not only my business but also how I approach every challenge that comes my way. In this return episode, I share an interaction I had with someone in our community who was struggling to get traction with her business and explain why it’s critical to take full responsibility for your own success. It’s not about placing blame or looking for others to solve your problems; it’s about owning your journey and being willing to push through the discomfort and setbacks.
Throughout the episode, I break down why relying on others, whether it’s a coaching program or a mentor, to deliver success is a recipe for failure. Instead, I emphasize the need to shift the focus back to yourself and the actions you’re taking—or not taking—to move forward. I reflect on my own early struggles and share how consistently putting myself out there, whether it was on a stage or through webinars, was the only way I built the skills and confidence needed to succeed. This is the same mindset that can help anyone listening to break through the barriers holding them back.
Key Highlights:
Taking Extreme Ownership: How to stop relying on external sources for success and start taking 100% responsibility for your results.
The Power of Repetition: Why your first attempts might suck, and that’s okay—keep iterating and refining until you get it right.
Proven Business Models: Why sticking to what’s been proven to work is far more effective than trying to reinvent the wheel.
Mindset Shifts for Success: Why changing how you phrase things can make or break your business journey.
This episode is from a few years ago, so I may make a few dated references, but overall, the message still rings true. If you’re struggling to make progress, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear more about how owning your role and taking charge can transform your business and personal growth.

In this episode, I share the very first presentation I gave on this concept at Funnel Hacking Live, where I explained how mastering this framework can transform your business. We cover everything from why your hooks are crucial for grabbing attention to how your story connects with your audience, and finally, how to craft an irresistible offer that drives conversions. If you understand and master these three elements, you can create funnels that not only work but thrive.
Key Highlights:
Understanding the Framework: Learn why every problem in your funnel can be traced back to your hook, story, or offer.

In this episode of the Marketing Secrets podcast, I had the incredible opportunity to dive into some rarely discussed entrepreneurial strategies of Napoleon Hill. Most people know Hill for his personal development principles in Think and Grow Rich, but what many don't realize is that he was also a master entrepreneur. I recently spent time immersing myself in Hill's old manuscripts, uncovering 10 specific things he did that directly relate to how we, as entrepreneurs, can build and scale our businesses.
In this episode, I break down the importance of telling your origin story repeatedly, how to build a core philosophy for your business, and the crucial role of promotion and partnerships. Hill’s journey wasn’t just about success principles — he was a student of marketing and advertising and used these skills to push his message to the masses. These lessons are timeless and still apply to entrepreneurs today, helping us shape our businesses in ways that stand the test of time.
Key Highlights:
