Hey Everyone - This is a MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT - No Labor Day sale. No “72-hour bonus.” I’d rather give you something you can actually use. And thanks to @Tom Omnus @Michael Stagger @Michael Stuart @Kevin Casanova @Brent Marking , and @Shawn Ferrigno you are going to get the Best Labor Day Weekend Deal EVER! Watch The First Episode Here - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQeRlbT7KPxI&si=gYsZU_Aybi5iCNO8 Last week, I opened up a small coaching program for 5 agencies. The goal is simple: Go from cold → conversations → client in 30 days. And we’re building the entire client acquisition machine together. Their niche. Their market. Their foot-in-the-door offer. The actual pain they’re solving. Who they should target — and more importantly, why that business should give a damn when they reach out. Then we build the rest. Where to find the right businesses. The hooks. The outreach. The channels. The follow-up. The booking process. The sales conversations. The proposals. The close. The onboarding. The fulfillment. Until it becomes a day-to-day operating system they can actually run. Here’s where it gets interesting… Yesterday, the guys agreed to let me open the doors and publish the sessions. Meaning you get to watch us build these agencies in real time. Not another polished course where everything magically worked in hindsight. You’ll see the decisions. The questions. The adjustments. The stuff we keep. And the stuff we throw in the trash. Basically, you get to sit in the fishbowl and watch what’s normally direct, paid work with me. Free. I’ll release the first session this weekend, then another each week through September. And while we’re doing it, we’re rebuilding my agency alongside them — starting small in Cabo and running the same process ourselves.

Quick heads up — the next 48 hours matter if you want to see what’s actually working right now for booking demos, closing deals, and filling pipelines. I just recorded a 6-minute impromptu video breaking down what’s coming next and why I’m opening this up one time only. If you want to see it comment FUNNELS Below. What this leads into: This Thursday I’m running a live, closed-door training where I’m walking through my top 3 funnels that feed directly into my BAD framework: B.A.D. = Book A Demo Not hype. Not theory. The actual systems I use across: - Cold outreach - Social groups & communities - Networking - Paid traffic (yes, even at scale) We’ll cover: - How the funnels are structured - Why they convert without pressure - How I’m filling them right now - And how they ladder into real sales conversations This is not a long, dragged-out low-ticket thing. You’ll pay to get in, we go deep on Thursday, and then it closes FOREVER. I’ll also be revealing something on that call that: - I’m not posting publicly - I’m not teaching again this quarter - And only attendees will ever have access to If you want the link to join the Thursday BAD Funnel training: 👉 Comment funnels below I’ll drop the purchase link later today — only for those who comment. NOW LET'S GO FROM GOOD TO FREE STUFF!!!

For our LIVE members - or on the recording. What was your biggest lesson learned or take away?

Quick impromptu update for you guys — recorded late, no slides, no polish… just what’s actually happening inside our agency and client accounts right now. Here’s the short version 👇 If you don’t have an AEO offer this year, you’re going to feel it. AEO = Answer Engine Optimization (also being called AISEO / GEO depending on who you talk to) Different name. Same shift. Why this matters (a lot) Clients are no longer just asking: “Can you rank us on Google?” They’re asking: “Why aren’t we showing up when people ask ChatGPT, Gemini, or AI tools who to use?” And here’s the part most agencies are missing… This isn’t replacing SEO. It’s the next layer on top of it. If you already: - Sell SEO - Have AI Spotlight - Do content, ads, or reputation - Talk to multi-location businesses - Build websites - Or are looking to have a HOT OFFER this Year!!! This becomes your what’s next offer. Proof, not theory I’m not positioning myself as “the AEO guru.” I do what I always do: - Hire the right people - Implement internally - Track every lead source - Then show you what’s actually working Right now, we can tell clients exactly where leads come from: - PMAX - Direct - ChatGPT - AI-driven discovery And yes — those AI leads are showing up. Especially for: - Larger brands - Multi-location businesses - Higher monthly retainers What I’m opening up I’m considering hosting a live AEO workshop next week (likely Tuesday). On that call, I’ll walk through: - What AEO / AISEO / GEO actually means (no fluff) - How we’re implementing it for 8-figure clients - What we’re doing internally across our own brands - How you can package this as a clean add-on offer - How to confidently explain it to clients without sounding like you’re guessing Live. Questions allowed. No “trust me bro” slides. 👉 If you want me to run the workshop: Comment AEO below. If there’s enough interest, I’ll drop the details later this week. 2026 is not the year to stay reactive.

Here's the deal...It's time to Stop Chasing Leads And Start Thriving. We went off-script again today — and this one might be the most valuable 15 minutes you’ll watch all week. I jumped on a quick call with Venkat Maddala 18 hours ago, who’s quietly built a thriving agency using a system that puts him in front of 300–3,000 potential clients without cold calls, ads, or DMs. And HE HAS THE RECEIPTS to prove it!! It’s simple. It’s scalable. And it’s how his agency went from brand-new to booming in under two years. Here’s the punchline 👇 You don’t need more leads. You need the right conversations with the right people at the right time. That’s exactly what this new Agency Thrive System does — it gets you into the flow of real business owners ready to buy, without you ever feeling salesy or pushy. 🔥 Inside this 15-Minute Chat: - How Venkat consistently books follow-up meetings on the spot (the “second-date” sales move you’ll steal immediately) - Why $49/mo clients turn into $499–$999 retainers — automatically - The real-world network effect that landed him 2 new clients from a single post - How Jeff’s using this same system to break into new markets in San Diego THIS WEEK! 💬 ACTION STEP: Comment THRIVE below this post if you want early access to the training + a special 48-hour founders discount when it drops inside Skool.
