BodyShop Marketing

We're on a mission to help 43 independent autobody shops double their monthly revenue by end of 2024.

Founder

Your One Marketing Coach

I believe every entrepreneur needs a LinkedIn strategy. I don't just care about marketing I care about you!

Starland Supply (2000) Ltd

I worked as the sales leader and marketing director at Starland Supply. This role had me working with people every day. So it was a great opportunity to grow and polish my leadership skills.

Sales And Marketing Specialist

Eagle Automotive Center

I managed the day-to-day operations of Eagle Automotive's autobody division. In this position, I was working with clients, insurance companies, and employees every day. So here I took my PR skills to the next level.

AutoBody Shop Manager

Private Christian School

I was the lead teacher at a small Christian school. My classroom was the homeroom for grades 7-10. I viewed my role not only as a teacher but as a leader and role model for my students.

My business is to help independent auto body shops dominate online and serve more people. | Founder of BodyShop Marketing | Follower of Jesus | Husband & Dad 4x

Back in the early 80’s my daddy started an autobody shop in central British Columbia, Canada. Our shop had its humble beginnings right on the ranch that I grew up on. My daddy was a hard-working man that needed a way to support his family, so he learned the autobody trade and got to work fixing cars in the ranch shop. God blessed our family and the business grew so much that they needed to add on to the shop a couple of times to keep up with demand. Of course, this shop would become a second home to me while I worked, played, and grew up there.
 
By the early 90’s the shop on the ranch was bursting at the seams. It was time to find a bigger and better location. The shop was then moved to a new shop in our town and it’s actually still there today. 

I started managing the autobody shop in 2013. I wore many hats in the shop: customer service, shop management, parts ordering, insurance negotiations, and floor sweeper. Whatever needed to be done, I tackled it head-on. I knew that it was the customers that kept the lights turned on, so I made sure customer service was our number one priority. In 2021 I chose to move on and pursue other ventures, but I look back on my years of management and feel blessed for the opportunity. I learned so many lessons on the floor of that shop, and now I’m using them to serve my marketing customers. I understand the hard work that goes into running a successful autobody shop. I understand the pain that the industry is facing. But I believe that every independent shop has the right to be full of cars and be supported by their local communities.
 
My years of growing up on the ranch and helping around the autobody shop helped shape who I am today. I was raised on hard work, respect, integrity, and humility. One of my daddy’s sayings still sticks with me today, “Don’t stand around with your hands in your pockets”. So, this is how I operate BodyShop Marketing. Let’s get after it! 

Let’s chat today and see if there is any way I can support you and your shop!

Become a Profitable Podcast Guest 🎙 | 3X Founder | 3X Father | Front Row Dad | StoryBrand Guide

Are you tired of wasting time and money on marketing efforts that just don't deliver results? Believe me, I've been there.

Picture this: it's 2020, the early days of the pandemic, and I'm on the brink of losing my business. Paid ads weren't converting, leads were inconsistent, and referrals, my lifeline, were drying up. 

Meanwhile, peers in my industry were thriving, getting featured on the podcasts I avidly listened to. I knew podcast guesting held the key to business growth, but I lacked the know-how to make it happen.

Driven by frustration and determination, I embarked on a journey to master the art of podcast guesting. Fast forward, and I've personally generated over $2M in revenue from podcasts alone. 

But the true reward? Helping over 250 entrepreneurs achieve similar success, transforming their businesses as podcast guests.

There's nothing more fulfilling to me than empowering expert entrepreneurs like you to achieve the recognition and results you deserve:

✔️ Secure coveted spots on top podcasts and make it your primary marketing strategy.

✔️ Attract ideal clients who seek you out, eager to work with the go-to expert in your field.

✔️ Consistently close high-ticket sales, fueling your business growth.

✔️ Establish yourself as the undisputed authority in your industry.

✔️ Expand your network exponentially, opening doors to new opportunities and collaborations.

If you're ready to amplify your brand by sharing your story, I'd be honored to guide you. Let's unlock the power of podcast guesting together and propel your business to new heights.

21 five-star Amazon book reviews in 90 minutes.

Community is power.

Last week, our 7-Figure Leap Community welcomed a very special guest.

Selena Soo joined us for a "fireside chat" on Rich Relationships.

This topic is SUPER aligned with our value system, and I knew our people would love Selena's book.

The week before our live virtual event, I encouraged our members to grab a copy of Rich Relationships so they could get the most out of our time together.

On Thursday, we had one of the best group experiences I've ever seen, and Selena absolutely rocked it.

During the Q&A portion, I asked our members if they'd like to take 6 minutes to go leave an Amazon review as a gift for Selena.

The result?

We're currently at 21 5-star reviews given, and Selena just crossed 400 reviews for her amazing book!

It's really remarkable.

Are you part of a community that shares your values and wants you to win?

There's nothing more powerful in business.

My voice has generated over $2,000,000 in revenue.

The secret?

Podcast guesting.

But most people think you need to get on the biggest shows.

It's not.

That's almost always a *complete* waste of time.

I've built two 7-figure businesses without generating any revenue from "big podcasts."

Just to appear on these shows, you need a:

• Booking agent
• Massive audience
• Personal relationship with the host

And even IF you do get interviewed on their podcast?

You'll walk away with 0 new leads.

Why?

Because you're just one guest among hundreds, speaking to an audience that's there for entertainment.

Not solutions.

You might get "exposure."

But that doesn't put leads in your pipeline.

Instead, I focus on small-to-medium sized podcasts.

These are shows that:

• Do regular interviews
• Publish consistently every month
• Have 500-5,000 downloads per episode

And you don't need a massive audience.

(Or any real social presence)

But that's not even the best part.

Every listener already trusts the host.

So they immediately see YOU as another industry authority.

And as their podcast grows, new high-quality leads:

• Discover you
• See you as an expert
• And want to work with you

You can start landing these premium opportunities TODAY.

I'll show you how on Tuesday, March 10th at 1 PM Central.

Join me for my FREE Interview Marketing Masterclass.

In just 90 minutes, you'll walk away with everything to turn one interview into a 6-figure marketing system.

I believe loneliness is the biggest danger for an entrepreneur.

And community is the greatest opportunity.

I've been so isolated in my business that my face went numb from stress, and I thought I had a brain tumor (seriously).

And I've spent time with the most incredible, mission-driven people who have inspired me to be better and dream biggest about my impact in the world.

Fortunately, for me, I've had a lot more of the latter because I felt the pain of the former very early on after leaving my engineering career.

This has been so fundamental to my experience that ALL of the offers in my business now wrap around Community as part of the value proposition.

It's absolutely vital.

Do you agree?  What's been your experience with Entrepreneurial Loneliness?

We're in a Relationship Recession.

People are relying on AI for:

• Companionship
• Emotional support
• Even basic human empathy

And because of this?

Your cold outreach gets ignored.

Your content gets lost in the algorithm.

And the:

• Referrals
• Partnerships
• Premium clients

That come from genuine connection are harder to find than ever.

But it's not your fault.

There's a better way.

And tomorrow, for the first time ever, I'm releasing my entire system.

In just 90 minutes, you'll learn how to:

• Build dream partnerships
• Establish industry authority
• Add $100,000/year in new revenue
• Land more premium clients for your business

Just from appearing on the *right* podcasts in your industry.

Three months after one podcast interview…

$140,000 in revenue.

No ads.
No launch.
No “content sprint.”

Just one conversation.

Here’s what most people miss:

It wasn’t about the size of the audience.
It wasn’t about being famous.
It wasn’t even about having the perfect pitch.

It was about having a simple, intentional teach-to-sell system behind the conversation.

When you know how to:

• Establish authority in the first 10 minutes
• Create trust without trying to “close”
• Turn one interview into follow-ups, referrals, and partnerships

A single appearance can outperform months of content marketing.

That’s exactly what I’m breaking down in this upcoming (free) live masterclass:

🎓 The Simple Marketing System Solopreneurs Are Using To Add $100K/Year

📅 Live training

👉 https://lnkd.in/gNmYitK4

If you’re a coach, consultant, or service-based expert who knows you’re sitting on real value…

…but don’t want to build your own massive audience to monetize it…

This is for you.

I'm convinced we're all 1 real relationship away from transforming our business.

But most solopreneurs feel stuck:

• Drowning in shallow LinkedIn connections
• Endlessly posting content that gets ignored
• Using AI to write cold DMs that feel completely empty

This leaves many of us feeling isolated, invisible, and with zero clue how to break through the noise.

People are relying on AI for:

• Companionship
• Emotional support
• Even basic human empathy

And increasingly powerful AI tools are pulling us further into this Relationship Recession.

But over the last 5 years, I've built a simple system that changed everything.

I've used it to:

• Build a 7-figure snack brand (FireCreek, landed in Walmart)
• Create a second 7-figure coaching business
• Coach 200+ mission-driven entrepreneurs to do the same

It's helped me build relationships that actually matter—the kind that turn into partnerships, clients, and revenue.

And this Tuesday, February 17th, I'm teaching the entire system for free.

In just 90 minutes, I'll show you:

• How to avoid the biggest mistake solopreneurs make with teach-to-sell marketing

• The simplest way to establish authority in the first 10 minutes of an interview

• How to turn one interview into premium clients, dream partnerships, and business opportunities

Plus, you'll get my AI-Powered Interview Research Guide.

That way, so you can book your first 3 interviews AND build deeper connections faster.

Most people think marketing partnerships are about reach.

They’re not.

They’re about trust transfer.

When someone I respect introduces me to their audience, I don’t start at zero - I start with borrowed credibility.

The best partnerships aren’t:
 • Big
 • Flashy
 • Complicated

They’re:
 • Aligned
 • Relationship-first
 • Built on serving the same person

If your marketing feels heavy, expensive, or inconsistent, the answer probably isn’t more content.

It’s one great partnership done well.

Marketing partnerships can take many forms...

...guest training, joint workshops, expert panels, email lead magnet swaps, subscription box placements...and of course let's not forget about Podcast Guesting. 🎙️ 

What's been one of your favorite marketing partnerships?

P.S. This photo captured the moment my first interview on Digital Marketer's podcast went live in 2023.

I didn't know then that it would lead me to speaking at Traffic & Conversion Summit, being invited to Ryan Deiss's mastermind, or becoming a regular guest expert for their premium community.

That's the power of an aligned partnership!

I don't think the average solopreneur realizes how much money you can make from being a guest on podcasts.

Last year, I went on The Nathan Barry Show.

And 90 days later:

That ONE 60-minute episode generated over $140,000 in new revenue.

But the crazy part?

It has less than 3,000 views on YouTube.

And I'm *still* getting new high-quality leads 8 months later.

There is SO MUCH opportunity in podcast guesting.

And so much leverage.

More leverage than most marketing strategies.

Every interview you do isn't just "effort."

It's an asset.

This is why every solopreneur should have a proven system that turns one interview into more:

• Premium clients
• Dream partnerships
• Business opportunities

Which is exactly what I'm going to reveal on Tuesday, February 17th at 1 PM CST.

For free.

In just 90 minutes, you'll learn how to:

• Start landing clients fast
• Establish industry authority
• Add $100,000/year in new revenue

And more!

Last week, I spoke to a Founder running a $700K coaching business. And he’s exhausted.

Everything looks good on the surface. 

Revenue is growing quickly, but he's managing a team of 25 coaches.

But as revenue goes up, so does acquisition cost (and so does stress). 

So this Founder:

→ Relies heavily on cold traffic
→ Needs to 'push to close' prospects on calls
→ Uses paid ads to top up the 'funnel', eating into margins

Even with great top line numbers, below the surface, he's super stressed out, because conversion takes a lot of work, time and resources (meaning profit margin is very low).

For me, it's not about how much I make, but how much I get to keep.

Revenue growth is great, profit is better.

Last year, we hit seven-figure revenue AND 70% profit margins. We did it through podcast guesting and warm partnerships.

By borrowing other people’s trusted audiences, our cost of client acquisition is basically zero. 

Which, of course, provides a lot more room for margin. And there's no ad expense to eat into our profits.

"You need a massive audience to make money" is the biggest faulty belief holding solopreneurs back from adding $100k+ years.

But most solopreneurs stay stuck for 2 reasons:

1. Choosing The Wrong Marketing Strategy

Most solopreneurs waste years on unprofitable paths:

• Posting 5x/week hoping for traction
• Spending thousands on ads that never convert
• Sending Cold DMs that feel gross and get ignored

Instead, find a system that builds authority AND generates revenue.

2. Treating Podcast Guesting Like a Lottery Ticket

Most solopreneurs think showing up is enough.

Do the interview & hope for the best.

But there are only 3 things that actually matter:

• Finding the RIGHT shows (where your audience already listens)

• Delivering value in the first 10 minutes (giving you instant authority)

• Turning one interview into multiple opportunities (so you have a 6-figure growth engine running 24/7)

What's the point of having an amazing offer if you can't get in front of the right people?

Or going on a podcast where no one remembers you?

Now, the solopreneurs adding $100,000+/year fixed these 2 mistakes.

That's why I'm running my free masterclass this Tuesday, February 17th.

In just 90 minutes, I'll cover:

• How to avoid the biggest mistake solopreneurs make with teach-to-sell marketing

• The simplest way to establish authority in the first 10 minutes of an interview

• How to turn one interview into more teaching opportunities, partners, and premium clients

Plus, to make the most of your time, you'll also walk away with:

• My AI-Powered Interview Research Guide
• The exact system I used to generate $140,000 from one podcast
• A repeatable process you can use in less than 2 hours per week

Anyone can scale their business podcast guesting.

Here's how I do in just 5 simple steps:

But now?

I've built two 7-figure businesses using podcast guesting to consistently generate ready-to-buy leads.

Here's the dead-simple framework I use to turn podcast appearances into profit (it works even if you've never been interviewed before):

Most solopreneurs spend 20+ hours a week on marketing.

But they're STILL struggling to land high-ticket clients.

Why?

• They're building complex funnels
• They're running expensive paid ads
• They're trying to master platforms they hate

Meanwhile, the entrepreneurs landing more high-ticket clients than they know what to do with are JUST doing the work they love:

Helping clients.

And it takes them less than 2 hours a week.

This Tuesday, March 10th at 1PM CST, I'm hosting a FREE 90-minute live Masterclass.

I'm showing you how to turn ONE interview into a reliable 6-Figure Marketing System.

• No daily posting
• No cold outreach
• No platforms you hate

The same roadmap I used to build two 7-figure businesses.

And right now, it's helping 250+ solopreneurs land more high-ticket clients than they can handle.
