play00:54

gaming and entertainment and social

play00:57

networks people here complain

play01:00

that they're not getting a lot of views

play01:02

on their videos on Instagram or Tik Tok

play01:05

or these platforms but they have

play01:07

play02:12

opportunity is for free

play02:15

attention that is the biggest elephant

play02:18

in this room

play02:20

[Music]

play02:23

today for you today what would be the

play02:25

top three platforms to be on because

play02:27

there are so many and what would you do

play02:29

on each of them if if you were starting

play02:31

now what would you do on Tik Tok YouTube

play02:33

Instagram or Facebook yeah so I think

play02:36

again back to the earlier point of

play02:38

self-awareness if you're selling

play02:40

B2B all of a sudden LinkedIn is number

play02:43

one right if you're selling if you're a

play02:45

sass if you started a SAS business if

play02:47

you're listening right now and you want

play02:48

to s or you you sell to lawyers you have

play02:51

a service that sells to lawyers then

play02:54

LinkedIn is going to be number one

play02:55

globally for sure with YouTube shorts

play02:58

probably being number two because

play03:00

YouTube is a search engine yes and a lot

play03:02

of people search there so that would

play03:03

also be good if you were into SAS and

play03:06

then probably in that scenario I would

play03:08

then say if you're selling you know a

play03:11

B2B service after those two probably

play03:14

Facebook grounded in a Facebook group

play03:18

with then Twitter X being probably

play03:20

fourth if you're selling SAS Instagram's

play03:22

probably a distant fifth Snapchat

play03:25

Pinterest they're super far away in that

play03:27

scenario if you're selling

play03:30

t-shirts to 15 to 25 year olds all of a

play03:34

sudden Tik Tok becomes number one

play03:37

instagram probably becomes number two in

play03:39

that scenario and YouTube shorts is

play03:40

number three right so I think for a lot

play03:43

of people that's that reality for

play03:46

broader markets I think that if you're

play03:49

really trying to sell something like to

play03:51

the broad consumer call it for everybody

play03:53

who's 25 to

play03:55

55 well now you start getting into

play03:57

Facebook still being an incredibly

play04:00

powerful platform for selling MH um I do

play04:04

think that organic Tik Tock for Branding

play04:07

is exciting Instagram again becomes a

play04:10

stronger selling platform but both of

play04:13

those scenarios require ads more than

play04:15

organic reach yeah um whereas Tik Tok

play04:18

you can win on organic reach and kind of

play04:20

capture lightning in a bottle so the you

play04:23

know I hope everybody appreciates the

play04:25

answer it it it is

play04:28

contextual

play04:31

now what's the importance of

play04:33

diversifying your

play04:35

content I love you for that clearly

play04:37

maybe you've been you know I've been a

play04:39

little bit loud about this last 60 days

play04:40

I'm writing a new book next year it's

play04:42

going to be called day trading attention

play04:44

so I've been in it trying to teach

play04:45

everybody how to win on every platform

play04:47

Tik Tok YouTube cuz social media is the

play04:49

current place where attention is if the

play04:51

metaverse comes I'll be telling you what

play04:53

to do in those [Β __Β ] headsets I don't

play04:54

care where attention is cable TV 20

play04:56

years ago I'd be writing books like

play04:58

cable TV

play05:00

40 years ago regular TV regular TV 80

play05:03

years ago radio how to hack radio I just

play05:05

want to know where the attention is

play05:08

Spotify rap cabar is important today it

play05:10

used to be called TRL it used to be

play05:12

called The Source it used to like I

play05:13

don't hot 9 I don't give a [Β __Β ] I'm

play05:16

agnostic to what platform has the

play05:18

attention I just want to figure out

play05:19

where it is I want to be great at it I

play05:22

don't hear social media I hear Tik Tock

play05:25

and then I double click Tik Tock regular

play05:27

post Tik Tock live different I don't

play05:30

hear LinkedIn not just where you put

play05:32

your resume no no I hear that's a social

play05:33

network double click there's regular

play05:35

posts there's video there's written word

play05:39

there's pictures this is science it's

play05:41

skill so diversifying content is the

play05:45

number one reason that the person on the

play05:47

other side of this video right now is

play05:49

not popping off like she he wants to

play05:51

people get stuck in ruts they got

play05:54

something that worked for them or

play05:55

they're comfortable with and they're

play05:57

posting the same [Β __Β ] they posted 5

play05:58

years ago on in stagram even though a

play06:00

ton of people are now on Tik Tok and

play06:02

Instagram so there's less it's different

play06:04

mhm and we've already seen all that [Β __Β ]

play06:06

from you and they get tired we all grew

play06:10

up with [Β __Β ] that was hot as [Β __Β ] and

play06:13

then three years later it was less hot

play06:14

because we got it that's why Madonna was

play06:17

a beast she was like oh I got you for

play06:20

four years now I'm going to I'm A

play06:21

Material Girl now let me go on a cross

play06:23

and some D I'm going to do this and I'm

play06:25

going to be Vogue and she just kept

play06:26

mixing it the [Β __Β ] up we understand and

play06:29

by the way we see that all the time like

play06:31

there's the people that have one pitch

play06:33

and they're hot for three years and we

play06:34

never heard about them again right and

play06:37

then there's people that are [Β __Β ]

play06:38

icons why because they Diversified their

play06:43

content that's

play06:45

[Music]

play06:48

major the best YouTubers in the world

play06:51

starting with Mr Beast Down spend more

play06:53

time and more money on their thumbnail

play06:55

than you could ever imagine so number

play06:57

one for everybody who's going to do

play06:59

video

play06:59

and again that's a whole another

play07:01

conversation because for some people it

play07:02

should be written word some people

play07:04

should be doing audio some people should

play07:06

be doing video but I think uh I think

play07:10

the thumbnail on video is incredibly

play07:11

important I think the first three

play07:12

seconds thing that Dustin and I were

play07:14

talking about on our trip this week is

play07:18

do we need the hook from the from the

play07:21

thumbnail to be delivered on in the

play07:23

first two or three or 4 seconds and and

play07:26

we we really believe we do we believe

play07:28

that if if my hook says you know 30 to

play07:32

40 year olds you should be thinking

play07:34

about LinkedIn and if my opening line is

play07:36

like before we get into that I you know

play07:38

like you might in two seconds you may

play07:39

lose that audience and so I think a lot

play07:42

of science around the art I think a

play07:44

couple of other things there's a lot of

play07:46

ways to do it let me encourage some

play07:48

people one thing that I've been noticing

play07:50

is on Instagram you could just take a

play07:53

photo of something right you were here

play07:55

with your friend this weekend in New

play07:56

York you could take a photo of like a

play07:58

nice picture that caught your eye in New

play08:00

York take a photo but if you then wrote

play08:04

three paragraphs really great ones

play08:07

because you're a great writer about the

play08:09

concept of enjoying the weekends to

play08:12

reset of the concept of busyness in

play08:15

chaos in Controlled Chaos is an

play08:18

effective way to be an

play08:20

entrepreneur you could write the you

play08:22

know curiosity I've been to New York

play08:25

seven times but I've never gone down

play08:27

this street right like you could take a

play08:29

photo of anything a banana a car a tree

play08:33

a bird your backyard it you really could

play08:37

take a photo of almost anything and then

play08:40

write three or four paragraphs that are

play08:43

very thoughtful about a point you're

play08:44

trying to make now all of a sudden you

play08:46

don't need a video and editing

play08:48

team you could do it all by yourself and

play08:51

for a lot of people listening they're

play08:52

not great on camera they're not great

play08:55

with their words but they're incredible

play08:57

writers and so it's around

play08:59

self-awareness of the me the the style

play09:02

the content and then there's strategy

play09:04

around the distribution depending on

play09:06

your business and so that's one main

play09:10

theme to keep getting very nerdy and

play09:12

deep on your question the other thing to

play09:14

always look for is underpriced attention

play09:16

yeah the thing that I know you know

play09:18

about me over these last seven eight

play09:20

years is that I have a very strong skill

play09:23

set in understanding where there's more

play09:26

organic reach against consumption

play09:30

and and when to do it hard than most

play09:33

people and that's been a big part of My

play09:34

Success you were there when I was

play09:36

yelling about musically and Tik Tok when

play09:39

that when that seemed crazy to almost

play09:42

everyone you you weren't there but

play09:44

people that have been following me all

play09:45

the way back to 2005 6 and 7even there

play09:48

was in an incredible amount of content

play09:52

and passion I had around YouTube and

play09:54

Twitter and Facebook I mean I wrote

play09:56

Crush in 2008 came out in 09 but I wrote

play09:59

it in 2008 that's 15 years ago long time

play10:03

so I I think that I constantly look for

play10:07

the underpriced

play10:09

attention it's always most exciting when

play10:11

it comes up in a new platform but new

play10:14

platforms only come around every 3 four

play10:16

seven nine years yeah then when it's not

play10:19

a platform it goes into the things we

play10:21

just talked about the strategy within

play10:24

the platforms yeah I talked about

play10:27

recently it's already lost momentum in a

play10:30

month but a month ago I was incredibly

play10:32

excited about posting a meme and then a

play10:34

video on Instagram a two poost Carousel

play10:37

I saw that mhm and you know I I I see

play10:41

incredible uh opportunity that again

play10:44

almost talking to Dustin I'm almost

play10:46

having my own meeting right now one

play10:47

thing that continues to work for me is

play10:50

taking headlines that are happening in

play10:52

pop culture business and doing a green

play10:55

screen and talking over it that model

play10:57

continues to work better than if I just

play11:00

looked in camera right now and talk and

play11:01

even when the the green screen the Green

play11:04

Screen Video is not great quality like

play11:07

it doesn't look good but it it works

play11:09

correct to your point my last one which

play11:11

did really well I was in the car and the

play11:13

light was hitting a different way and it

play11:14

wasn't like my yeah I was like distorted

play11:17

that's

play11:18

[Music]

play11:20

play11:22

content I always said to myself do I got

play11:26

play11:27

cuz I'm going to L this [Β __Β ] whereever

play11:28

you recorded or not so what's the

play11:30

difference between content and

play11:32

documenting the journey yeah there was a

play11:35

moment there was a kid in here it was a

play11:37

big moment for me it exploded for me we

play11:39

were just chopping and I just cuz thank

play11:41

God I was filming back there and I just

play11:42

said he's like I don't know what to make

play11:44

I said document don't create right

play11:47

people have shoot days I'm an influencer

play11:49

I'm on today I'm going to make stuff

play11:51

that's commercials that's TV that's fine

play11:53

by the way that works for a lot of

play11:54

people people like you and me and a lot

play11:56

of people out there we should be

play11:58

documented mhm not creating right we

play12:02

because what we do is just who we are

play12:04

just you know the best [Β __Β ] you ever

play12:06

said the best [Β __Β ] I ever said it's lost

play12:10

I said some [Β __Β ] to my sister the other

play12:11

day I'm like [Β __Β ] I wish that

play12:12

[Β __Β ] was fil you know like like it's so

play12:16

the difference

play12:18

is not a lot the key for everyone is to

play12:21

be self-aware of who they are some

play12:24

people this is what blew me away maybe

play12:25

this hit you too as my life started

play12:27

changing I started rubbing elbow with

play12:29

different kind of people I'm like yo

play12:31

some of these Comedians and actors like

play12:33

suck in real

play12:34

life but in the context of doing it for

play12:37

film they're beasts and then then I did

play12:39

enough TV and different [Β __Β ] I'm like oh

play12:41

this shit's slow you go do a movie

play12:43

you're like all right back in the

play12:44

trailer for 3 hours I'm like [Β __Β ] this

play12:46

[Β __Β ] you know for other people we like

play12:48

it raw clean authentic no [Β __Β ] no

play12:51

[Β __Β ] with it like that works for us so

play12:53

for everybody on the other side there's

play12:55

two groups there's the people that

play12:57

should do it the actors way like they

play12:59

should make the studio proper they need

play13:01

their not they they need to memorize

play13:02

their lines and then there's us more

play13:05

improv we're more SNL than we are

play13:07

feature film right improv live life on

play13:11

stage you know in the kitchen around a

play13:14

dinner table chopping stoop life it's

play13:16

that [Β __Β ] and so cool like neither's

play13:20

better the key is does everyone on the

play13:23

other side of this know who they are and

play13:25

are they trying to force

play13:27

it

play13:30

what is universally true for everyone in

play13:34

this room regardless of where you are on

play13:36

the journey within this industry is that

play13:38

the far majority of individuals humans

play13:41

here and companies are not taking

play13:43

advantage of what's happening in

play13:45

LinkedIn right now so just from a pure

play13:48

practical standpoint there's so many

play13:50

wants and dreams and hopes and things

play13:53

that you want to happen in this room and

play13:56

one of the most significant

play13:58

opportunities to make that thing happen

play14:00

is actually knowing how to make content

play14:02

for LinkedIn and actually posting it and

play14:05

actually reaping the benefits of it

play14:06

LinkedIn right this second is acting

play14:10

like a social network more similar to

play14:12

what Facebook was in 2013 and 14 and the

play14:16

land grab for B2B companies and B2B Toc

play14:19

companies that I've watched over the

play14:21

last two years grow and explode and

play14:24

really I won't use the word exploit but

play14:26

just so everybody understands no ads

play14:29

just taking advantage of best practices

play14:32

to create organic reach is

play14:34

disproportionately the underpriced

play14:37

attention the

play14:38

underutilized move of this Collective

play14:41

room you can literally make videos and

play14:44

pictures and run $25 to 50 $100 on

play14:48

LinkedIn against employees of venture

play14:50

capital

play14:51

firms and reach them and not have to go

play14:54

to conferences and pray that you'll run

play14:56

into them in the hallway to pitch them

play14:58

your startup

play14:59

and this is results tomorrow LinkedIn

play15:02

content for your business you can

play15:05

literally reach everyone everyone so

play15:08

many people's agendas here today is to

play15:10

do business development right you'll

play15:12

listen to my talk but what you're

play15:13

worried about is what's going to happen

play15:14

out there and what's going to happen

play15:15

tonight that's why you're here that's

play15:17

the actual business the fact that I know

play15:20

that scales 365 days a year if you spend

play15:24

the 5 or 10 hours to do research on how

play15:26

do I make good LinkedIn content by the

play15:29

way there's an incredible website that

play15:30

will tell you everything you should do I

play15:33

know some of you are taking notes I'll

play15:34

spell out the website for you g o o g

play15:40

thank you for doing that that made my

play15:41

[Β __Β ]

play15:42

warning you can literally type in how do

play15:46

I make LinkedIn content for an insurance

play15:49

SAS company enter and get obnoxious

play15:52

amount of results with best practices

play15:54

this isn't about when I talk about this

play15:56

stuff they're like Gary but how do I do

play15:58

it that's like saying how do I get into

play16:00

shape everybody here knows how to get

play16:02

into shape it's called stop eating

play16:05

[Β __Β ] and go to the

play16:08

gym doing it is

play16:10

hard I promise you that if every person

play16:13

here leaves and does proper because

play16:16

there's the right way to do push-ups

play16:18

versus the wrong way does proper

play16:20

LinkedIn content three times a

play16:23

day that they would see miraculous

play16:25

results for their business a year later

play16:31

uh Taylor Swift yes Travis Kelce yes

play16:34

have changed the NFL's business yes

play16:37

without the NFL being a part of its plan

play16:40

at all that's right like what is the

play16:42

attention message from I know you're a

play16:44

big NFL

play16:46

fan like is there a message in that yes

play16:49

of course there is it's actually one of

play16:50

the biggest parts of the book which is

play16:51

that everybody on Earth underestimates

play16:54

pop culture what happened with Taylor

play16:55

and Kelsey is they're cross-pollinating

play16:57

their platforms M so if you're a

play17:00

mechanic in Detroit like I said in this

play17:01

post on social you're not thinking about

play17:04

hitting up the Thai restaurant down the

play17:06

street to do a piece of social media

play17:08

content I know that's true today yet

play17:10

that's the kind of left field post that

play17:13

will get people's

play17:14

attention and so what I see there is

play17:17

what do I think about pop culture I

play17:19

think it's one of the most significant

play17:22

currencies on Earth what if you're lucky

play17:24

enough to have an employee that works

play17:26

for you that's first Nam is Travis and

play17:29

another one that's first name is Taylor

play17:31

like literally you're a law firm Travis

play17:33

Johnson Taylor Smith maybe they're both

play17:35

guys cuz Taylor is obviously a name that

play17:38

can go either way you can easily use the

play17:40

micro moment of the infatuation of our

play17:42

society to do something clever and silly

play17:44

what people don't realize is that little

play17:46

clever video on Instagram that only got

play17:48

90 views one of those 90 views is

play17:51

someone who's actually considering to

play17:52

hire an attorney and they actually like

play17:54

the fact that you were a little silly

play17:56

and not buttoned up and you made them

play17:58

feel more comfortable to reach out to

play17:59

you to work with your Law Firm or your

play18:02

dentist's place or your like I people

play18:04

are very linear they don't realize how

play18:08

big pop culture is and how they can

play18:10

factor into their boring business I had

play18:12

a I had a um gentlemen reach out to me

play18:15

who asks literally I used a concrete

play18:17

cement business in one of my analogies

play18:19

in a piece of content he literally owned

play18:22

a asphalt business he literally started

play18:24

to make Tik toks even though he thought

play18:26

it was the wildest craziest thing he'd

play18:28

ever heard and it literally has doubled

play18:30

his business an

play18:32

asphalt seller like guy that comes and

play18:35

redo your driveway made a couple Tik

play18:37

toks one went decent another one went

play18:40

viral and literally if I recall properly

play18:43

the email a business that was doing

play18:45

$800,000 a year servicing a local area I

play18:48

think he was in Wisconsin is now doing

play18:51

2.5 Mill he he the tears were coming

play18:54

through the

play18:55

email but most people who are listening

play18:58

to this podcast don't who are in a B2B

play19:00

or like a different kind of business are

play19:02

not thinking how Tik Tok can work for

play19:03

them right and pop culture doesn't

play19:05

necessarily mean that you need to have a

play19:08

your celebrity endorser correct you're

play19:10

you're playing off of what the

play19:12

conversations that are going on it's

play19:14

like being good at a cocktail party

play19:16

right think of this as your social media

play19:18

marketing you go out tonight and it's a

play19:20

fundraiser of your local PTA or the

play19:23

school or or it's the the banquet for

play19:26

the high school basketball team are you

play19:28

the kind of person that comes to that

play19:30

event and you're enjoyable to talk to

play19:32

and have a circle around you or are you

play19:35

in the corner by yourself the reality is

play19:38

being an introvert and not being

play19:39

comfortable in that is incredibly

play19:40

appropriate and awesome as a business

play19:43

you'd like to think that you're trying

play19:44

to Market and get business and so to me

play19:47

there's so much more permission for

play19:49

creativity Than People allow themselves

play19:52

but you know like people continue to

play19:54

like wear their suit and tie in their

play19:55

LinkedIn profile and like they they they

play19:57

don't understand the room is what I ALS

play20:00

ultimately think I think like you take

play20:02

the most stuffed up person you know

play20:04

literally I want everyone to close their

play20:05

eyes and just think about like the most

play20:07

kind of buttoned up stuffy rigid person

play20:09

you know I promise you if that person

play20:12

goes to Las Vegas right now with their

play20:14

best friends from college for a weekend

play20:17

they're going to be a different version

play20:18

of themselves than you know them and I

play20:20

think businesses and brands have more

play20:21

permission to be contextual to the room

play20:24

they're Distributing the content in when

play20:26

I make Facebook content I'm think think

play20:28

about parents because I know the demo is

play20:31

going to be older those are going to be

play20:32

different videos that I'm putting into

play20:34

Tik Tok where I know they're going to be

play20:35

youngsters the words and the videos and

play20:38

the slang and everything I say and do is

play20:40

different yet I believe most people are

play20:42

just making a video and then pushing

play20:44

them out on these channels and expecting

play20:47

for it to succeed they think of it as

play20:49

distribution I think of it as a place

play20:51

you have to be contextual to win the

play20:53

[Music]

play20:56

room I would just ask Maybe what would

play20:58

be some advice that you have for someone

play21:00

who's just starting off what are some

play21:01

things maybe you've seen specific to the

play21:03

fitness industry that have helped scale

play21:05

and then maybe just in general

play21:07

eventually I'd like to kind of grow my

play21:08

own kind of personal brand be able to

play21:10

down the road step away from the gym

play21:12

kind of throw online amazing everything

play21:14

I just heard and as you can imagine the

play21:17

the there may not be a more cliche

play21:21

stereotype than the fitness dude who

play21:23

built a Fitness business on social and

play21:26

then decided to teach everybody how to

play21:27

build business to build a personal brand

play21:29

you're like in my pocket the answer to

play21:31

the question is you need to post 30

play21:33

times a day on social media but you have

play21:35

to be good at it so what you need to do

play21:37

is what I just said about AI you need to

play21:39

start googling and youtubing and

play21:41

podcasting and educate yourself on

play21:43

something I call sock strategic organic

play21:47

content not just posting happy [Β __Β ]

play21:50

Wednesday and hoping it works like why

play21:52

are you posting let me just pull it up

play21:54

right now watch this it like this I'm

play21:56

going into my phone I'm I'm going into

play21:58

my content team

play22:00

WhatsApp and apologize I need to run to

play22:03

a meeting so I'm going to run out pretty

play22:04

quickly here so I apologize I'm going to

play22:06

scroll up here it

play22:09

is here we go this morning at 7:21 a.m.

play22:14

McKenzie on my team said good morning I

play22:16

need you to post at 5:04 p.m. and 7:07

play22:20

p.m. on Instagram one needs to be a

play22:22

carousel one needs to be a

play22:26

real this is called the science behind

play22:29

the art I'm not out here posting

play22:33

randomly for ha haa and my social media

play22:36

strategy is not the

play22:43

following all of yours

play22:45

is I need you to understand the

play22:48

thumbnail the first 3 seconds what time

play22:51

you post how many words which platform

play22:55

what's going on in LinkedIn carousels

play22:56

that's different than Facebook par

play22:58

Facebook reals What are broadcast

play23:00

channels do you know what the [Β __Β ] is

play23:02

going on this is now the television and

play23:05

until you understand that you are

play23:07

leaving money on the

play23:09

table back to scaring them this is how

play23:12

it works brother right now everyone most

play23:14

likely is just leaving double growth on

play23:17

the table and then it becomes the thing

play23:19

that puts them out of

play23:21

business and so please take this serious

play23:24

what you need to do how many times a day

play23:26

do you post I it's nothing how many

play23:29

probably once a probably once one post a

play23:31

day and some days not even right yeah

play23:34

some days not even even better about one

play23:36

a day and flooding the stories and stuff

just Instagram think about where I am in

play23:39

my career and where I want to go and

play23:41
