AI search is changing who gets found—and who gets ignored. You're not too late- Master this topic with our FREE 3-Day carrot.com/challenge ⸻ In this video, I break down the exact framework we’re using at Carrot to help businesses show up and get recommended in AI search results. One of our clients generated over $100,000 in deal profits within 60 days after implementing these strategies and getting found through ChatGPT. I’ll walk you through the 5 layers of AI optimization—from basic indexability and visibility to sentiment, truthfulness, and the hidden bias factors that influence which companies AI platforms recommend. If you’re relying on referrals, SEO, or local marketing to grow your business, understanding these shifts now could give you a huge advantage before your competitors catch up. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quotes: “If your business is not showing up in AI search, you’re about to be invisible.” “Within 60 days Dave locked up over $100,000 in deal profits just from these few ChatGPT leads.” “The reason bigger companies win in AI search isn’t because they’re bigger—it’s because they’ve done these things more effectively.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get my Business Growth Levels and EFF Graphics: TrevorMauch.com/freedom Follow me on Instagram: @trevor.mauch Evergreen Marketing Podcast: plnk.to/Carrot Join the Evergreen Marketing Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity Take a demo of Carrot: carrot.com/choose-demo --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At EPIC, we’re on a mission to help entrepreneurs build businesses that provide true freedom.

Entrepreneur burnout isn’t about working too much—it’s about losing what gives you energy. Watch Next- The Momentum Meter: https://youtu.be/1JUFaJKXe-E ⸻ A few years ago, I found myself in a place that many entrepreneurs eventually hit: the business I built for freedom started feeling like a trap. I was losing energy, losing excitement for the vision, and showing up worse in the areas of life that mattered most. In this video, I break down the exact four-step framework I use to recognize when a business starts owning you—and how to reverse it before burnout takes over. You’ll learn the same process I recently used with one of my coaching clients who felt stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from both his business and family. We’ll walk through how to eliminate distractions, rebuild daily non-negotiables, add joy back into your calendar, and focus on the work that actually creates energy and growth. If you’ve been feeling trapped by your business, this could be the mindset shift you need. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quotes: “Burnout does not come from working too many hours. Burnout comes from not doing the things outside of work that give you the most energy and joy.” “The business I was building to give me freedom was the very thing that felt like it was trapping me.” “Doing more work is not the answer. Doing better work and more focused work is the answer.” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get my Business Growth Levels and EFF Graphics: TrevorMauch.com/freedom Follow me on Instagram: @trevor.mauch Evergreen Marketing Podcast: plnk.to/Carrot Join the Evergreen Marketing Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity Take a demo of Carrot: carrot.com/choose-demo --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At EPIC, we’re on a mission to help entrepreneurs build businesses that provide true freedom.

Entrepreneurship is lonely- but these friendship habits can change everything. Watch Next: Control Your Calendar and Your Life: The Integrated Week Method: https://youtu.be/lIo33hAZtdU In this episode, I share something that almost never gets talked about in the entrepreneurial world: friendship. As entrepreneurs, it’s easy to pour everything into business, family responsibilities, and achievement while slowly letting meaningful relationships disappear. I’ve been there myself. I’ll walk through the self-audit questions that helped me recognize the problem, the research that changed how I think about relationships, and the six practical steps I’ve used to intentionally build deep friendships while growing businesses. These simple rhythms have made life richer, improved my health, strengthened my business, and helped me create a life that feels successful beyond just revenue and growth. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quotes: “The business is not the life. The business is just a part of that life.” “Social media has made us less social in the ways that actually matter.” “Let’s make it so this is the last year that you say, ‘This is just a busy season.’” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get my Business Growth Levels and EFF Graphics: TrevorMauch.com/freedom Follow me on Instagram: @trevor.mauch Evergreen Marketing Podcast: plnk.to/Carrot Join the Evergreen Marketing Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity Take a demo of Carrot: carrot.com/choose-demo --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- At EPIC, we’re on a mission to help entrepreneurs build businesses that provide true freedom.

Turn your executive assistant into a true strategic partner- not just task support. In this video, I break down the 4-step framework I’ve used to move an executive assistant from reactive task taker to proactive strategic partner. I share the mistakes I made early on as a CEO, how that limited both me and my EA, and what changed once I started giving real ownership over inbox, calendar, and priorities. I also walk through the exact tools and rhythms that helped me get back 20–40 hours a week, protect my energy, and create more leverage inside the business. If you’re a CEO who feels like you’re still the bottleneck, this will show you how to build an EA relationship that gives you real freedom instead of just more delegation.

Feel off lately? This simple life audit helps entrepreneurs reset fast. In this video, I walk you through the exact system I use every quarter to audit my life across six key areas: faith, family, fitness, friends, finances, and fun. This isn’t theory—I’ve used this to eliminate guilt, increase intention, and create real progress in the areas that actually matter. Most entrepreneurs over-index on business and wonder why things feel off. This framework helps you step back, get clarity, and intentionally improve the one or two areas that will create the biggest shift in your life. ----------------------- Beat Entrepreneur Burnout w/ The Momentum Meter - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JUFaJKXe-E ----------------------- Quotes from the Episode “Remove the guilt.

Marketing stopped working? Here’s the system I use to restart business momentum fast.
