What turns chaos into momentum? In Episode 26 of The Experts, Dr. Jenelle Kim sits down with Mike “C-Rock” Ciorrocco—entrepreneur, bestselling author of Rocket Fuel, and founder of That One Agency—to unpack how intention becomes attention, why podcasting is the ultimate attraction engine, and how to turn your story into a scalable opportunity. From broken beginnings to 2,000+ podcast appearances, from mortgages to media, and from “stuck” to quantum expansion, this conversation is a blueprint for creating impact, community, and longevity—without losing your soul or your standards.

🔥 In this MUST-WATCH episode, you’ll learn:

  • ✅ Rocket Fuel method: convert setbacks into momentum (tank vs. trunk thinking)

  • ✅ Intention → Attention: the red-car effect for brand, bookings, and breakthroughs

  • ✅ Podcast leverage 101: get booked, deliver value, and amplify content that compounds

  • ✅ Packaging that lands: one-sheet/press kit musts and how to pitch with trust signals

  • ✅ Network as an asset: 15-minute “speed networking,” curation, and warm-intro systems

  • ✅ AI-proof your career: human connection, live experiences, and community as moat

  • ✅ Faith, family, physiology: daily practices C-Rock uses to stay clear, strong, and grounded

    00:00 – Welcome & Why This Conversation Matters
    Late-day honesty, real energy, and a practical path from story → impact.

    01:12 – Meet Mike “C-Rock”

    Entrepreneur, author of Rocket Fuel, host and agency founder; 2,000+ podcast appearances.

    02:28 – Origin Story: From Broken to Built

    Divorce, addiction around him, and the early vow to break cycles—not people.

    04:10 – Tank vs. Trunk

    The core metaphor behind Rocket Fuel: store adversity in your tank to convert into lift.

    05:35 – Sales Reps to Real Estate to Lending

    Nine years in kitchen-table sales → top agent → regional mortgage leader… and the “trapped” feeling.

    07:20 – Wake-Up at 40: Commitment Before How

    Mentorship (commit first, details later), deciding to be known globally, not locally.

    09:02 – Intention Directs Attention

    The “red car” effect: set the aim (podcasts), then see opportunities everywhere.

    10:25 – 2,000+ Pods: The Attraction Engine

    Why repetition isn’t boring—most people haven’t heard your story (yet).

    12:03 – Getting Booked (for Real)

    Positioning, press kits, trust logos, and the value of warm relationships over cold blasts.

    13:35 – That One Agency: Guarantees & Curation

    12/25/50-show packages, personal host relationships, and editorial fit that sticks.

    15:18 – Amplify or It Didn’t Happen

    Post-pod workflows: microclips, quotes, email list, LinkedIn carousels, and owned channels.

    17:05 – The 15-Mini

    Speed-networking calls during lockdown → a repeatable funnel for quality connections.

    18:42 – That One Network & Quantum Expansion

    Directory + WhatsApp community → experiential meetups; why in-person wins.

    20:25 – Events with Aesthetic & Substance

    BrainTap demos, nitric-oxide science, panels, and designing rooms that expand minds.

    22:00 – AI Is Here. Be Human-Moated.

    Use tools—but build what AI can’t replace: trust, taste, and shared experience.

    23:18 – Faith, Family, Physiology

    Prayer, Bible study, bloodwork, training, peptides—habits that fortify purpose.

    25:10 – Boredom Is Dangerous

    Emotional scale, choosing constructive challenge, and forging resilience on purpose.

    26:40 – Manifestation, Daoist Edition

    Intention → Chi (energy) → Action; alignment over wishful thinking.

    28:05 – For Founders & Creators

    Never assume “people already know.” Wake up unknown—and earn attention daily.

    29:22 – Packaging That Lands

    Message clarity, outcomes, credibility, and a one-sheet that answers “Why you? Why now?”

    31:00 – From Stages to Green Rooms

    How consistent signal creates proximity—and proximity creates new chapters.

    32:05 – For First-Timers: Where to Start

    Niche fit, shot list, sound, story beats, CTA, and a simple 30-day content calendar.

    34:10 – Parting Wisdom

    Commit. Keep moving. Remove clutter. Tell the story again—better and wider.
