Brendan was the #1 salesperson for Andy Elliott and on track to make $700k this year. But his story didn't start there. It started at rock bottom.

This is one of the most powerful comeback stories I've ever...

When Alisha asked me how busy founders can win on Instagram, I shared my "Batch & Test" method. It's a simple system: I batch-film an entire week's worth of content in one day, then test multiple versions of every video risk-free using the "Trial Reels" cheat code that shows your content only to non-followers. We also cover the "Triple H framework for scripting videos that actually perform. If...

Now, he focuses on a "lean" model using paid ads to create predictable, automated growth. In this episode, we debate the pros and cons of both worlds and explo...
