Connection is everything.

We’re still buzzing from an incredible week at Expo West 2026! ☀️

There is nothing quite like the energy of the Anaheim Convention Center when the best in natural products gather under one roof. The innovation this year was next-level.

But the real highlight? The conversations. We had the pleasure of meeting with dozens of mission-driven brands, both industry icons and emerging disruptors, to discuss the future of storytelling. In a world of digital noise, these face-to-face moments remind us why we do what we do: we don’t just buy products; we buy into the people and the passion behind them.

That same "booth-side" authenticity is what we strive for in every podcast sponsorship we build. It was an honor to hear your stories in person. Now, we can't wait to help you tell them to the world.

To everyone we met, thank you for the inspiration! If we didn’t get a chance to connect at the booth, let’s keep the conversation going. Send a DM and let’s chat.

Humans speak naturally.

We’re moving beyond the era of robotic keyword stuffing. Podcasting is the most intimate medium because of the human voice, so why is your SEO strategy still so mechanical?

Voice search is the bridge between a curious listener and your brand. By focusing on conversational queries and long-tail intent, we ensure your message is the one the AI chooses to recommend.

Company stuck at low YouTube views despite consistent publishing?

I've helped 50+ companies fix this across B2B SaaS, finance, and wellness.

The problem is usually:
→ Packaging that doesn't stop the scroll
→ Content optimized for search instead of discovery
→ Corporate format the algorithm doesn't recognize as "engaging"
→ Missing the 70/30 recommendation vs search balance

BECAUSE YOU'RE ON MY PROFILE, I ALREADY KNOW 4 THINGS:

1. You're publishing consistently (1+ video/week)
2. You're getting under 1,000 views per video
3. You've been stuck for 3+ months
4. You're ready to invest in fixing this

I get it.

When we started GrowUMedia, 90% of companies had a YouTube visibility problem - publishing consistently but seeing no growth.

Once we understood YouTube's recommendation algorithm mechanics, we specialized exclusively in algorithm optimization for companies.

Results we've achieved:
→ B2B SaaS social media platform: 40 views → 500K+ views (90 days)
→ Health & wellness brand: $38,000 revenue from single video
→ Fitness coaching platform: Format gap identified, systematic testing implemented

OUR APPROACH:

After optimizing 50+ channels, we've identified the pattern.

It's not about:
❌ Better production quality
❌ More frequent posting
❌ SEO optimization
❌ Longer videos

It's about:
✅ Packaging that stops the scroll (CTR-focused)
✅ 70/30 recommendation-dominant strategy (not search-dependent)
✅ Discovery content vs nurture content split
✅ Systematic 60-day testing process
✅ Creator-style packaging for corporate brands

HOW IT WORKS:

Our 90-day process:

WEEKS 1-2: RESEARCH & STRATEGY
→ Algorithm gap audit
→ Niche mapping & ICP analysis
→ Competitor reverse-engineering
→ Content strategy development

WEEKS 3-4: PACKAGING OVERHAUL
→ Thumbnail redesign (scroll-stopping)
→ Title optimization (curiosity-driven)
→ Format optimization

WEEKS 5-12: SYSTEMATIC TESTING
→ 3-5 format tests
→ Weekly performance analysis
→ Iterative optimization
→ Double down on winners

Timeline: 60-90 days to crack your format

WANT TO SEE YOUR GAP?

I built a 15-minute diagnostic that shows you:
→ Why your YouTube is stuck
→ What's causing your algorithm gap
→ How you compare to competitors
→ What to fix first

Comment "AUDIT" on any of my posts.

On the call:
→ Review your channel's specific gap
→ Show you what we'd fix first
→ Map out a 90-day plan
→ See if it makes sense to work together
