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.

I’ll be sharing insights on "Authority That Scales: How Podcast Guesting Builds Trust (and Sales) Faster Than Any Algorithm" and connecting with leaders who are ready to step into the future with clarity and confidence.

If you're committed to leading your team well in the age of AI, this is the room you want to be in.  Grateful that Jay Owen is leading the charge.

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.

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.

Most coaches and consultants don’t have a revenue problem.

They have an offer problem.

Specifically:

👉 too many offers
👉 unclear roles
👉 confused buyers

Here’s a simplifying rule that holds up across 6 and 7-figure businesses:

You only need 3 offers.

1️⃣ A WIDE offer

Think: front-end
	•	Low cost ($10–$250)
	•	DIY
	•	Minimal interaction
	•	Purpose: create customers, not profit

Examples:

📘 a book
🎓 a paid workshop
🧠 a short course
🧾 an audit

Important: If it’s free, it’s not an offer.

⸻

2️⃣ A DEEP offer

Think: core / flagship
	•	Done with you (or done for you)
	•	Finite engagement
	•	Clear promise for a clear price
	•	Purpose: cash flow

This is what your business is known for.

For most businesses, this is around 80% of revenue.

⸻

3️⃣ A LONG offer

Think: continuity
	•	Membership
	•	Mastermind
	•	Retainer
	•	Subscription

People buy once… and keep buying.

Purpose: consistency

Recurring revenue = stability.

⸻

Complexity doesn’t scale.
Simplicity does.

When each offer has one primary job:

	•	Wide → creates customers
	•	Deep → creates cash
	•	Long → creates consistency

Marketing gets clearer.
Decisions get easier.
You actually know if you’re winning.

⸻

Inside our client community, almost every 6 and  7-figure business follows this exact structure.

Different niches.
Different pricing.
Same simplicity.

If your business feels heavier than it should…your offer stack is the first place I’d look.

Quick gut check:

Which of these 3 offers is missing (or muddled) in your business right now?

Let me know in the comments!

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

One podcast interview.
$140,000+ in revenue.
Zero ads.

That’s what happened after I appeared on Nathan Barry’s podcast.

Not because it “went viral.”
Not because I have a massive audience.

It worked because I showed up with a deliberate strategy for borrowing someone else’s audience - and turning attention into real business.

After that interview, a lot of people asked me the same question:

“What did you actually DO to make that work?”

So I broke it down into a simple, practical resource that walks through the exact approach I used.

I even created 3 custom AI Prompts 🤖 that you can use to make the process super simple for your business.

If you want access, comment “PODCAST” and I’ll send it to you.

(Especially helpful if you’re a coach, consultant, or expert who wants growth without building everything from scratch.)

Do you ever try to explain something in a meeting,
but it doesn’t come out as clearly as you want it to?

You over-explain.
You're not concise. 
Or you leave the meeting overthinking:

“I should have said that better.”

Most people assume they just need "more practice"
That’s rarely the problem.

It's actually about a lack of structure.
And how your brain responds to pressure. 

That's why I work with professionals who want 
to be seen as more clear, confident, and credible.

(especially in high-stakes situations)

So far, I’ve coached 330+ professionals with a 99% success rate. 

Many are managers, directors, executives, and founders. 
People in positions where clarity matters. 

Our work focuses on 3 things:

1.) Clear, concise speaking on the spot

2.) Confidence and composure under pressure

3.) Executive presence in important situations

Everything is customized and built around 
the real-life meetings, presentations, and 
conversations you'd like to speak better in. 

If crystal clear speaking would be helpful 
for you and your professional life,

Have you heard about the 7 
deadly sins of speaking? 💀

1. Gossiping
2. Judging
3. Negativity
4. Complaining
5. Excuses
6. Lying
7. Dogmatism

In the video, I added 7 silly 
(& less deadly) examples of each. 

They're all about big arms 😅

This is from Julien Treasure's famous TED talk: 
How to Speak so that People Want to Listen

Which deadly sin are you making?

And if you’re a perfect angel:

Which one do others do that annoys you the most?

Speak clearly and confidently under pressure in 90 days (guaranteed) / World Class Certified Speaking Coach / 3x Bestselling Author / TEDx Speaker / 330+ clients coached

Loud voices get attention.
But calm clarity creates real success.

Today, many professionals want to stand out. 

But they're going about it the wrong way. 

They speak quickly.
They give long answers. 
They don't allow space for silence. 

This urgency can get you attention, 

but it's the wrong kind of attention. 

And it often scrambles your thoughts and weakens your message.

The people who stay calm under pressure 
and speak clearly on the spot...

Are the ones who've learned to balance peace with power. 

What are they doing?

→ Staying composed
→ Controlling their pace 
→ Starting points with clarity
→ Finishing points with authority
→ Listening fully before responding

They don’t treat these as speaking 𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘴.

They treat them as speaking 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘴.

And the people around them feel the difference.

Do you think you've learned to balance peace with power?

No one listened to my stories 
UNTIL I started adding this 1 thing: 

Lines of dialogue. 

One of the stories I tell is about a former piano student of mine.

He was struggling playing in front of people
and wanted to quit his lessons. 

Version 1 (before using dialogue):

Andrew came to me after a lesson.
He wanted to quit because he didn’t like playing in front of people.  

Version 2 (using dialogue)

Andrew came to me after a lesson and said:

"I suck at piano. 
I just can’t play good in front of people. 

I'm hopeless, and I wanna quit.” 

Do you see the difference? 

On top of all the clarity and confidence work 
I do with clients, storytelling is another fun 
thing that we'll sometimes add in.

Once I stopped making this communication mistake, 
everybody started listening to me more. 

What was it? 

Using complicated/fancy words. 

Here’s why:

Studies show people consider messages 
more honest and trustworthy when a person 
uses simple instead of complicated words. 

This means if you use simpler language:

There’s a greater chance people will believe you. 

And buy into what you're saying. 

It also takes less brain power for your listeners to understand you.

So you’re doing everyone a favour by 
making it easier to absorb your message. 

I give an example of complicated vs. simple in the video. 

If you think you should be using big words
and developing a complex vocabulary...

There are better ways to spend your time. 

You’d be better off using that time learning 
to explain things in a simple, clear way. 

Have you ever thought "I need a bigger vocabulary?"

(Embarrassing) When I was 8 years old, I used 
to climb trees to avoid talking to people.

Not for fun. To hide.

I was painfully shy.

Afraid of conversations.
Afraid of speaking up.
Afraid of being seen.

Fast forward a few years…

I was throwing up before meetings at my first corporate job.

Until 1 moment changed everything.

I learned something that would 
genuinely change my life forever. 

It's how I went from being AFRAID to speak...

To TEACHING people to speak for a living. 

I share the full story in this video.

If you’ve ever felt nervous speaking.
If you’ve ever replayed conversations in your head.
If you’ve ever asked yourself "Why am I like this?"

This will hit close to home.

How I removed filler words for good
(and how you can too)

3 Proven Techniques:

1.) Speak in shorter sentences. 

Long, run-on sentences 
= harder to control 
= more filler words 

2.) Slow your speaking pace. 

Faster speech 
= harder to control 
= more filler words 

3.) Proper breathing. 

At the end of your sentence, 
take a breath and inhale.
Then speak as you exhale. 

This forces you to pause more.

Anyone can remove their filler words. 
I've seen it with hundreds of clients over the years. 

That means you can too.

Which filler word do you use the most?

I CANNOT believe this is actually happening.

Spoke to 17 professionals on 1:1 calls last week about their speaking. 

15 out of 17 believed – they just need to “practice more” 
13 out of 17 – lose their train of thought under pressure
12 out of 17 – find it tough to be concise on the spot 
10 out of 17 – overthink about what to say/how to say it
7 out of 17 – said they needed a bigger vocabulary
6 out of 17 – expected speaking to improve naturally over time

I’ve helped 300+ people speak more clearly and confidently under pressure. 

The single most effective way to speak clearly on the spot is to train your brain to speak with frameworks.

Then you can organize and articulate 
your thoughts in a way that makes sense. 

A way that people actually understand and resonate with.

I put together my top 3 frameworks in a doc.

Comment or message the word “FRAME” and it’s yours.

Make sure you’re following me and connect so I can send it to you.

It also includes examples of how to use them.

This 1 thing I learned makes me 
immediately sound more credible
any time I speak.

(Especially in high pressure situations)

It’s strategic pausing. Which is: 

1.) Pausing to gather your thoughts
2.) Pausing after saying something important. 

But I used to be TERRIBLE at this.

One day after giving an update in a team meeting,
my boss looked at me with a dead stare and said:

“Ty, slow down. You don’t get any prizes for finishing quickly.” 

I was incredibly embarrassed, but he was right. 

I needed to slow down and pause more. 

A well-timed pause does 3 things:

1.) Shows a high level of composure. 
2.) Gives your listeners time to absorb what you’re saying.
3.) Makes your words land with more weight. 

Silence is not weakness. It’s emphasis. 

It reminds me of a quote from Mozart: 

"The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between."

Agree?

Sometimes you have to look back

and remember how far you’ve come…

Even if it’s just passport photos. 😅 

-

P.S. How much do you look
like 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 passport photo?

I learned this weird thing about head 

position that changes how people see you.

If your head is straight,
you'll be seen as more firm. 

But if your head is titled, 
you'll be seen as more empathetic. 

If you're a communication nerd like me, there are studies published in journals like 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 and 𝘗𝘴𝘺𝘤𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 that dive more into this. 

Tilting the head lowers perceived dominance.

And significantly increases ratings of: 

- Warmth
- Trustworthiness 
- Empathy

A lot of empathetic people do this tilt without realizing. 

Do you think you're one of them?

"How do you help me build my confidence?"
There's a reason this is on my FAQ page. 

Think of your brain like a computer. 

Over time, different 'programs' get installed in your brain…

that cause you to think, feel, and speak a certain way. 

So if you’re confident in certain situations
but less confident in others, there are programs 
in your brain that are causing this. 

(Same goes with overthinking, doubt, etc.)

Most people think they can fix this by:

1.) Getting a ton of tips and tricks 

2.) Just practicing a lot

Most coaches will teach you that way as well.

But the problem is:

It’s like trying to add new software to a computer 
when you haven’t removed the bugs. 

That's why we need to:

1.) Uninstall the programs that are holding you back.

2.) Install new ones that help you feel more confident. 

We do this using neuroscience-backed techniques to reprogram your subconscious mind. (that fun nerdy stuff)

Which is kind of like reprogramming 
your system so it runs smoothly.

This is what allows you to overcome 

the nerves, doubt, overthinking...

And feel more

confident, calm, and in control when you speak. 

Have you ever thought of your brain like a computer?

3 Ways to Trash

Your Reputation at Work:

1.) Disagree with people often. 

But don’t have strong reasons 
to back up your points. 

Just hold your ground. 

2.) Ramble in meetings. 

Add lots of unnecessary 
context and details. 

Be hard to follow. 

3.) Complain behind the scenes. 

If you need to address something, 
never bring it up to them directly. 

Only talk to others. 

What would you add?

If you hate leaving meetings thinking 
"I should've said that better"...

Do something about it. 

Learn to: 

➙ Organize your thoughts
➙ Articulate them clearly 
➙ Stay calm under pressure

No reason to keep replaying conversations in your head.

You can change how you speak.  

These are learnable skills. 

So if you hate second guessing or overthinking 
about what to say or how to say it

Do something about it.

You don’t have to struggle with 
something you can improve.

Agree?

If you overthink what to say 
in meetings or presentations,
this can change everything.

Before you speak, ask yourself:

What’s the one idea I want people to walk away with?

Start with that. Expand as needed. 

—> You’ll ramble less.
—> You’ll speak more clearly.
—> You’ll feel more in control.

A lot of people struggle when speaking on the spot because they’re trying to say too much at once.

They’re trying to sound smart.

Instead of being understood.

And they’re worrying way too much 
about what others think of them. 

(That used to be me too)

Here’s what I wish I knew earlier: 

When you simplify your thoughts,
People don’t see you as “less intelligent”

They actually see you as more credible.

—> You don’t need to overexplain.
—> You don’t need to impress anyone.

You just need to make your 
ideas easy to understand.

You got this.

Many professionals ruin their points when speaking. 
Are you one of them?

If you ever catch yourself using 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀
you might be in this group. 

(I definitely was)

It's not that you need more knowledge. 

You just need a particular set of skills. 

The skills of organizing your thoughts quickly
and then explaining them clearly and concisely.

Because if you can't get to the point quickly...

People will assume you have none.

They'll stop listening and zone out. 
(especially with attention spans these days 😅)

So if you want to sound more credible, trim the fat.

Make your messages lean. 

After all, why spend 3 minutes delivering a point 
that could have been made in 30 seconds?

If you're not super skilled at this 𝘺𝘦𝘵, it's all good. 

It's a skill that can be learned just like anything else. 

You got this.

I learned this tip from the former #1 
ranked public speaker in the world:

Don’t just give information. 

Don’t just focus on being heard. 

Create moments of reflection.

Why? 

Because when your audience
thinks about how your message 
applies to them, that’s when it sticks.

And that’s when you really connect.

3 Examples:

1.) “Have you ever lost 
your train of thought in
the middle of a sentence?”

“Me too.” 

2.) “Have you ever worked 
with someone who 
complains constantly?”

“What’s it like to be around 
that type of person?”

3. “Now that you know 
this tool, when could you 
use it in your own life?”

Important: Pause after each question. 

For max impact, listeners 
need time to answer the 
question in their own mind.

Because when they reflect, you connect.

And when you connect, they remember.

If you want to command 
a room like the world's top leaders
(or simply want to land higher-level roles)

Master these 3 speaking skills.

1.) Crystal clarity

Deliver your message concisely
using the fewest words possible.

No extra fluff.

2.) Storytelling.

Share stories that people can relate to.

They make your messages
more memorable and persuasive.

3.) Strategic Silence

Get comfortable with those pauses,
especially after important points.

They give people a moment to think.
And allow your words to really sink in.

These are a lot of fun to work on with clients. 

But then again, as a communication nerd...

Everything we teach in the program is fun. 

Which of these 3 skills could you improve on?

Most communication tips are a waste of time.

There, I said it. 

You've heard it all before:

Speak clearly.
Make eye contact.
Project confidence.

The same tips get repeated everywhere.

But here's the truth:

If all you needed was tips, everyone would 
be an exceptional communicator, right?

The real problem isn't knowing 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 to do.

It's knowing 𝘩𝘰𝘸 to actually do it when it matters.

Habits don't change just because 
you read a list or watched a video.

If you want something practical:

The single most effective way to speak clearly on the spot is to train your brain to use frameworks.

Then you can organize and articulate 
your thoughts in a way that makes sense. 

A way that people actually understand and resonate with.

I put together my Top 3 in a doc.

Comment or message the word “FRAME” and it’s yours.

It also includes examples of how and when to use them.

You’re in a meeting at work
and have something useful to say...

But you either:

1.) Hesitate 
or 
2.) Jump in too fast

If you hesitate, the moment passes.
You think "I should have said something" 

If you jump in too fast, your thoughts rush out. 
You think "I should have said that better"

In both cases:

- You're overthinking
- Your thoughts aren't clear
- The right words just aren't coming 

You might even feel a little annoyed or frustrated with yourself. 

Most people think “That’s just how my brain works”

True. 

But your brain works that way because you
haven't trained it to do anything differently. 

Remember - your brain is like a computer.

We can uninstall old programs 
that are causing these things. 

And install new ones that help 
you think and speak better. 

If this resonates, happy to walk you through how it works.

Unclear communication doesn't 
just affect your daily work life...
It quietly limits your growth.

It changes how people see you. 

In every meeting, interview, and conversation.

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve spoken to a handful of people who all shared similar things: 

→ A meeting where they over-explained 
→ A comment they didn't know how to respond to 
→ A thought of "I should have said that better"

These aren’t just speaking issues.

They’re clarity issues.

→ Organizing thoughts on the spot 
→ Articulating them concisely 
→ Getting people to buy-in

What's the mistake most people make next?

Practicing random tips or things they heard online

before they build a real foundation of skills. 

Otherwise it’s the same patterns again.

Different meeting.
Same overthinking. 

The hardest part isn’t learning what to say.

It’s admitting that your skills aren't where they need to be.
