- No Conversions? How to Write Copy and Messaging That Makes You Memorable | Marisa Corcoran (MU Classic)
#1078 Is AI really killing copywriting — or is it exposing just how powerful your message needs to be? In this episode, host Brien Gearin sits down with Marisa Corcoran, founder of Copy Confident Society, to unpack why copywriting isn’t “dead” in the AI era — it’s more important than ever. Marisa shares her wild pivot from professional acting (yes, a Winnie the Pooh audition was the breaking point) to building a thriving copy community, and explains why business owners must “create their own stage” through platforms like podcasts, summits, or content series. You’ll also learn why most “copy problems” are actually messaging problems, plus Marisa’s practical Ghostbusters-inspired “Proton Pack” framework to clarify what you sell, who you help, and how to make your message memorable — so the right people remember you, rave about you, and refer you!

50 min - Signs That You Should Pivot Your Business in 2026 — And How to Do It! | Christine Gritmon (MU Classic)
#1077 What if the smartest move you make this year isn’t scaling bigger — but pivoting back to what actually matters? In this episode, host Brien Gearin welcomes back “micro-business mega fan” Christine Gritmon for a timely conversation on making smart business pivots heading into early 2026. Christine shares her winding path from corporate beauty to journalism to social media strategy — and how years of working in personal branding led her back to her roots: supporting the tiniest founder-led businesses that often get overlooked in “scale at all costs” spaces. Together, they break down what makes a good pivot (listening, evidence, and market reality) versus a reactive one, and why Christine is shifting from 1:1 coaching into community-driven events, expert-led panels, and an eventual global hub designed specifically for solopreneurs. Christine also explains how selling gets easier when you’re offering something bigger than yourself — and leaves listeners with a clear reminder: entrepreneurship is about writing your own rules, adapting fast, and building a business that actually fits your life!
(Original Air Date - 1/14/26)
What we discuss with Christine:
+ Knowing when a pivot is necessary
+ Good pivots vs. reactive pivots
+ Listening to market signals
+ Micro-businesses being overlooked
+ From 1:1 coaching to community

#1076 What does it actually take to scale a simple service business into a multi-million-dollar operation? In Part 2 of this two-part episode, Brogan Williams continues his conversation with William Milliken, president of Swoop Scoop, to break down the systems behind growing a dog waste removal business across multiple markets. William shares how Swoop Scoop hires and incentivizes employees, builds layers of management, and documents nearly every role in the company to make scaling easier. He also reveals the marketing channels driving growth, why each customer can be worth $2,500–$3,000, how the company is preparing for AI-powered search, and why keeping the business simple has been one of its biggest advantages. Plus, William explains the common mistakes that kill profitability in local service businesses, his goal of reaching $10 million in revenue, and why taking action beats waiting until you have everything figured out!
What we discuss with William:
+ Hiring and scaling a team

30 min - He Built a Multi-Million Dollar Business Picking Up Dog Poop (Part 1/2)
#1075 What if one of the best business opportunities is something most people would never want to do themselves? In Part 1 of this two-part episode, Brogan Williams sits down with William Milliken, president of Swoop Scoop, to unpack how he turned a dog waste removal business started with about $1,000 into a multi-million-dollar operation generating more than $200,000 a month. William shares how the company exploded from roughly 20 customers to more than 300 in just a few months, why recurring subscription revenue makes this “boring business” so attractive, and how Swoop Scoop has expanded into multiple markets. He also explains why low-cost, unglamorous service businesses can hide huge opportunities — and why building a profitable business around something you’re not passionate about can sometimes give you more freedom to pursue the things you are!

28 min - You Don’t Need More AI Tools — You Need to Do This Instead (Part 3/3)
#1074 What if the smartest way to use AI is to stop chasing every new tool and start with the problems actually costing you time and money? In Part 3 of this three-part special episode, we return to the Millionaire University coaching call to explore practical automations, AI agents, and how to decide what’s actually worth automating. Hope Trory shares how she’s using AI to triage her inbox, draft replies, and turn Zoom calls into summaries and follow-up emails, while the group discusses when simple automations are enough — and when more advanced AI agents might make sense. You’ll also hear a practical framework for identifying which tasks to eliminate, outsource, automate, or keep doing, plus why entrepreneurs may be better off spending 90% of their time taking action in their business and just 10% chasing new tools and information!
What we discuss on the call:

43 min - He Built These AI Tools Himself — And They’re Saving Him Weeks of Work (Part 2/3)
#1073 What if AI could help you win new business, eliminate hours of tedious work, and even coach your team to perform better? In Part 2 of this three-part special episode, we head back inside a live Millionaire University coaching call as previous podcast guest and MU member David Mitchell shares the practical AI systems he’s building and using in his business. David breaks down how he used AI to put together a last-minute proposal that won a new project, built a custom pricing tool that replaced a time-consuming spreadsheet process, and created systems to identify missed opportunities and hold technicians accountable. He also demonstrates how an AI coaching tool he originally built to improve his performance in a game could be adapted to analyze sales calls, spot recurring weaknesses, and help employees improve over time — while Hope Trory shares how she’s already applying a similar concept to sales call reviews!
What we discuss on the call:
+ AI as a thought partner
+ Multiple AI advisor personas
+ Winning projects with AI proposals
+ Automating pricing and estimates
+ Replacing tedious spreadsheet work

22 min - AI Isn’t Giving You the Best Answer — Here’s What It’s Actually Doing (Part 1/3)
#1072 What if AI isn’t giving you the best answer — just the most common one? In Part 1 of this three-part special episode, we take you inside a live Millionaire University coaching call as founders Justin and Tara Williams, podcast host Brien Gearin, and Brien’s business partner Rob Tillman unpack how AI actually processes information and what that means for entrepreneurs. Rob explains why AI tends to surface the most prevalent answers rather than the best guidance, how authority, credibility, and trustworthiness can influence what AI says about your business, and why understanding how these systems work could give you an edge as AI becomes a bigger part of how customers discover businesses. You’ll also learn why getting mentioned in the right places can matter far more than simply being mentioned everywhere!
What we discuss on the call:
+ How AI actually processes information
+ Why AI favors the most common answer
+ Average vs. mode in AI
+ AI overviews and business discovery
+ Authority, credibility, and trustworthiness
+ Getting mentioned in the right places
+ Working with AI instead of gaming it
+ Getting better guidance from AI
+ Using AI to attract customers
+ Standing out from common advice

27 min - "What Should I Sell on Amazon?" The Answer Is Right Here! (Live Demo!) | Neil Twa (MU Classic)
#1071 If you’re still thinking about Amazon FBA as a keyword game, this episode will completely change how you see selling online! In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, Neil Twa returns to break down what “omnichannel” really looks like — and why you shouldn’t rush into TikTok Shop, Shopify, Walmart, or retail until your Amazon business is truly incubated and profitable. He shares a three-stage framework (discover, build, optimize) and explains how today’s winning sellers think less like “keyword hackers” and more like data scientists — feeding Amazon’s AI the right listing data so the engine can match your product to customer intent. Neil also demos how his team uses customer-need driven product research to build SKU pipelines inside proven “nodes,” avoid the low-price commodity trap, and identify higher-margin opportunities — then pairs it all with the capital strategy required to scale without running out of inventory!
(Original Air Date - 1/13/26)
What we discuss with Neil:
+ Amazon as an incubation engine
+ Omnichannel timing matters
+ Discover, build, optimize framework
+ Customer need over keywords
