  • SPI + Pat + Ask Liz = GOLD!

    I used to listen to this podcast years ago and loved it! Found my way back from the episode about niching down with Ask Liz, it was super helpful to listen to as an online business owner who wrestles with this topic often. Grateful for the wisdom of Pat & Liz and the entire team behind the SPI Podcast! Thanks for publishing such incredible content for online business owners :)

  • The Real Mechanics of Instagram Growth

    This conversation cuts through the surface-level advice and gets to what actually drives momentum. Growth follows clarity, relevance, and the ability to create value people feel, not just consume. Brock and Pat bring a grounded, strategic lens that helps listeners stop chasing the algorithm and start building real signal. A sharp, practical listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Can I Level-up My Brand by Doing Less?
Q: What concrete steps would you take to grow Sandra's audience and revenue without adding more to her plate?
Substitute busywork with strategic moves: start a podcast swap, pursue guesting, broaden lead magnets and create time-bound promotions to drive sign-ups, and push reviews to convert listeners into customers who pay for memberships.
Can I Level-up My Brand by Doing Less?
Q: If you were sitting as Sandra's CEO for the next 12 months, where would you put your focus?
Prioritize list-building and email marketing, cut non-essential activity, and optimize conversion metrics. Use partnerships and podcast appearances to expand reach, while continuously evaluating and improving sales emails, pages, and tripswitch offers to raise the customer conversion rate.
Can Virtual Summit Collabs Help Me Promote My List?
Q: How would you approach reaching out to fellow speakers for freebie swaps on virtual summits, and would you recruit the host to make introductions?
Keep it simple and fast: identify people with aligned audiences, verify values and vibe, then send a short, direct message proposing a swap with a specific example of what each side would share. If appropriate, ask the host for introductions, but don't overburden them; offer a plan and be ready to facilitate the intro yourself.
