Most people think practice makes perfect. They’re wrong. Practice makes permanent.

In this episode of The Off the Clock Show, Shawn and Marshall rip the bandage off your bad habits. We discuss the dangerous reality of "cutting corners." If you cut corners every day, you aren't saving time—you are training yourself to be a hack. And guess what? You’re becoming a world-class expert at it.

We also dive into the bank balance of life: Time. You wouldn't throw $500 out the window driving down the highway, so why do you flush hours of your day down the toilet? We break down how to audit your time, establish rituals that actually convert to cash, and why transparency is the only marketing tactic that survives a recession.

In this episode:

• The Lazy Trap: How you are accidentally perfecting the art of failure.

• Time vs. Money: Why you’re broke on time and how to fix it.

• Just the Tip: Marketing strategies that don't make you look like a sleazebag.

• Rituals: The boring stuff that makes the most money.

If you’re ready to stop practicing poverty and start practicing success, clock in.

This week, Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill get brutally honest about the one thing businesses still can’t seem to fake — authenticity. We’re living in an era where customers scroll past gimmicks faster than your last Facebook ad spend, and they can spot insincerity before you even finish typing “limited-time offer.” The guys dig into why honesty isn’t just a moral choice anymore — it’s a marketing weapon.

In a world full of filters, funnels, and “authentic” AI-generated nonsense, real communication cuts deeper than any algorithm. We talk about the difference between being real and pretending to be real, and why your customers don’t owe you loyalty if you keep feeding them fluff. This episode tears apart the hollow marketing speak, the fake community vibes, and the copy-paste “we care about our customers” crap that too many brands hide behind.

Authenticity doesn’t mean posting a selfie and calling it transparency — it means saying what you mean, backing it up, and building a reputation that doesn’t vanish the moment your next ad drops. So grab a drink, ditch the filters, and let’s talk about how to stop being fake in business before your audience ghosts you for good.

In this episode of The Off the Clock Show, Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill dive into a wide-ranging conversation that blends personal reflection with real-world business strategy — all wrapped in their signature unfiltered style.The duo kicks things off with seasonal changes, mood shifts, and the unwelcome rise of speed cameras before transitioning into the deeper stuff: work-life balance, leadership mindset, and how to stay sharp when life gets busy. From there, they dissect what it really takes to serve customers at a higher level, including how wealthy clients think, how to price based on value instead of fear, and why great communication can turn disasters into loyalty.

Shawn and Marshall also break down upcoming marketing opportunities — especially Black Friday — with creative strategies to stand out in crowded inboxes. They discuss relationship-driven selling, the psychology behind buying decisions, and how partnerships can elevate or destroy a brand.

Packed with insights on customer service, team leadership, sales training, and knowing your ideal client, this episode delivers the mindset and tactics today’s business owners need to thrive in a changing market.

In this episode of The Off the Clock Show, Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill unpack their observations from the SEMA show — the good, the recycled, and the genuinely innovative. They dive deep into what today’s auto industry trends reveal about marketing, authenticity, and competition.

From finding your edge in a crowded market to crafting irresistible offers for Black Friday and the holidays, the duo breaks down actionable strategies that can help any business cut through the noise. They discuss why short, honest content beats overpolished hype, how to speak your customer’s language, and why taking imperfect action often wins over endless planning.

If you’re ready to level up your marketing game before the year ends, this episode’s for you.

💥 Marketing. Mindset. Mayhem. All off the clock.

This week, we’re calling out the microwave marketers — the ones looking for shortcuts to shortcuts, trying to copy their way to success instead of actually learning how to cook. 🍽️🔥

We dive into the difference between reproducing vs. copying in business — why slapping someone else’s post style or ad headline on your page won’t make you rich, and how real marketers reproduce with purpose. That means studying what works, adding your own flavor, and actually improving it instead of being the cheap knockoff version of another shop.

We also tee off ⛳ on golf-inspired marketing, showing how something playful and creative can grab attention (without being another “game changer” post). Speaking of game changers, we talk SEMA — the biggest, boldest, and sometimes most bullshit-filled event in the detailing world — where apparently everything is a “revolution,” even if it’s the same tired crap in a new wrapper.

Our big takeaway? Stop microwaving your marketing. Let it simmer. Build a strategy with flavor, depth, and originality — because half-assed marketing leads to half-filled shops.

You don’t need to work harder—you just need to make people feel dirty enough to buy.

In this unapologetically honest episode, Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill flip the script on the idea of laziness in business and marketing. Everyone praises hustle, but what if being lazy—strategically lazy—is actually the smartest move you can make?

The duo dives into how laziness shows up in marketing (and why that’s not always a bad thing), how shame and cleanliness drive customer decisions, and why speed beats effort every time. From using guilt to sell more details to embracing “the path of least resistance” as a business strategy, Shawn and Marshall break down how smart marketers make lazy look legendary.

If you’ve ever been told to “work harder,” this one will make you want to work smarter—and dirtier.

💥 Marketing. Mindset. Mayhem. All off the clock.

In this no-fluff episode, Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill tear into lazy marketing habits that kill customer engagement faster than bad beer at a BBQ. From farm stands in Oklahoma to the global playbook of HelloFresh, they expose how constant repetition burns out your audience — and why switching up your message can turn dead leads into loyal fans.

In this unapologetically raw episode, Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill dive into the uncomfortable truth most business owners don’t want to face — you might be grinding, but you’re not progressing. They unpack the obsession with “hustle culture” and how it’s killing creativity, customer relationships, and genuine growth.

From the psychology of smiles to why your marketing feels like a bad pick-up line, this episode exposes the gap between working hard and working smart.

Get ready for straight talk, smart laughs, and a reminder that charm, strategy, and genuine connection always outshine brute-force effort. This one’s part therapy session, part marketing masterclass, and 100% Off the Clock.

You’ve been told to “post more.” So you grind out reels, memes, hashtags, and stories — and the algorithm keeps you on the hamster wheel. But here’s the truth: most posts don’t sell anything. In this episode, Shawn Gervais and Marshall Hill blow the lid off the social media illusion that’s been feeding you vanity metrics while starving your bank account.

They dig into why engagement ≠ revenue, and how your community — not your content — is your real goldmine. From local events and creative storytelling to old-school handshake marketing, they reveal how genuine human connection crushes any boosted post. You’ll hear wild stories from the Tulsa State Fair, real talk about marketing in an economic downturn, and why humor might just be the most powerful sales tool you’re not using.

No Marshall this week—his internet tapped out—but I went solo and didn’t hold back. In this episode, I break down two OrbisX member websites: one from a brand-new member fighting uphill battles, now ready to flip the script with OrbisX and some solid mentorship… and another that’s already crushing it, a shining example of what every service business website should be doing.

I tear into the weak spots, rip apart the mistakes, and spotlight the site that’s dialed in and converting like crazy. It’s raw, it’s unfiltered, and it’s exactly what you need to hear if you want your website to stop sucking and start selling.
