I’d like to introduce you to another special guest, Kar Brulhart!

Kar is the Founder of KB Marketing, has generated over 6 million views on her videos, and is on her way to becoming a 7-figure business. 

Kar started off as a tax accountant in Vancouver, but her first social media job was working for the United Nations social team and helping them launch the 'Share the Meal' campaign.

She had a crazy experience working with some of the biggest brands like Apple, Facebook, Google, Michael Kors, and the World Food Program. 

Today, Kar shares how she started having people reach out to her for social media tips simply from her personal Instagram account and an account she created in a 10-month stretch selling textiles between Mexico and the US where she wasn’t able to work in the US. Trust me, you want to hear her story!

In this episode, Kar shares how she looks at Instagram as a business and how she leverages their number one KPI: time spent in the app. She created custom and broad strategies to teach you and her students how to utilize them to your advantage. In about three months, she ended up with over 15,000 followers and is now closer to 50,000, in just under a year!

I’m excited for you to hear the number one mistake small businesses are making that are holding you back from building your community on Instagram, how to actually curate those relationships, and the power of outsourcing so you don’t have to be overwhelmed with the idea of doing everything manually. And of course, what you need to be focusing on in order to create VIRAL content!

There are a ton of ways to connect with Kar and work with her, so first, connect with on Instagram (@karbrulhart) where she shares a TON of free content! You can also get access to her Instagram VIP package, a ton of courses, and a $19 entry package (very accessible)! If you put Adam Flores on any of her products…you get $100 off! If you DM her for the VIP package for her 2-day intensive, let her know I sent you for some extra love and treatment!

Last tip of the day: add VIDEO to your content strategy!

We have a very special guest joining us today from Florida, Lisa Collum!

Lisa is going to inspire us all today! Lisa is the CEO of Top Score Writing and as a wife and mom of 4, became a millionaire through her business AND started running a school - she owns Coastal Middle and High school - crazy cool!

Today, she shares her amazing story of how she started off as a 4th-grade writing teacher and went on to develop a system that took lowest-performing schools to a 100% pass rate and how that turned into her 7-figure business, Top Score Writing. (Lisa is THE real-life Hilary Swank from Freedom Writers!)

Lisa gets honest sharing how she didn’t originally see herself as a business owner and didn’t believe she was capable of it.  Although, as she kept seeing the need from local to state to nationwide schools, Lisa knew she had a fantastic solution that she had to share.

In this episode, you get a behind the scenes look at her family's “lovely chaos,” advice that has kept her going and we all need to hear, and how important it is to write everything down, then prioritize and delegate…that’s the only way she has been able to do it all!

I am excited for you to be inspired by Lisa’s story and to feel empowered knowing that it's totally doable for anybody! Follow your passion, identify a need and meet it. That’s all Lisa was doing…and yet she has changed so many people’s lives, including her own!

Make sure you guys go follow her and check out her work! You can DM her letting her know how this episode impacted you and what you loved about her story. She's going to be in the next wave of influencers and entrepreneurs!

Today, we have another special guest, Assael Leon!

Assael is the Founder and Creator of The Perfect Trainer Academy and specializes in helping you close high ticket programs. 

Assael’s journey to sales started with working the drive-thru at McDonald’s, stumbling upon personal training, and a divine connection with Kevin Zane that ended up with a request to become a closer at his company. Assael became a top performer in sales in only 5 months! 

Since then, Assael decided to branch out on his own and start his own fitness coaching business online – because fitness is his passion. Once he built it to a 6-figure mark, he wanted to show others how to do it too! 

Today, Assael is sharing some behind-the-scenes looks at what he teaches his clients when learning how to close those high ticket items.

In this episode, Assael talks about mirroring and pre-framing as an art form and essential sales technique, as well as how strong salesmen are not pushing the sale, but looking for the truth. He approaches each sale as simply getting clarity, identifying the problem, while at the same time matching the language and tonality of each potential client. 

He goes on to explain how the new way of sales is more like flowing with the customer a little bit and using emotional intelligence to know how to show up.

I am so excited for you to hear about how success comes from making it more about other people, and with that mindset, how you can show up as your most powerful self in every sales call!

For those who are looking to become masters at sales, whether you are a personal trainer or 9-5 worker who wants to build an online fitness business, you guys can follow him on Instagram @AssaelLeonOfficial. Send him a DM. He’ll be happy to “shoot some love back!”

Today we have a very special guest, maybe the youngest guest that we've ever had on the show, Mya Gilleland!

Mya is the Founder of Instagram University, currently based in Utah, but born and raised in Idaho. Mya is leading out by breaking expectations as when she dropped out of college to take her network marketing business full time, and then eventually transitioning to Instagram Coaching. 

Today, she has 61,000 followers already coming out of her Instagram University and 107 students in 12 days for her new IG Reels Course...and she is just getting started!

Mya shares GOLD with you today discussing how often you should post reels a week, how batching is her secret weapon, the difference between “you” and “I” marketing, the importance of niching down your content to build the community you want, and how that can grow your following more.

Mya also dives into the importance of personal branding for your IG and how it is the key to making you stand out on social media. She even shared this mind-blowing statistic: over 1,000 posts are uploaded to Instagram every SECOND! Now more than ever, it’s SO important to know what is going to help you stand out!

I’m excited for you to be inspired by Mya’s story and be empowered to step outside the normal 9 to 5, college route, especially if you are wanting to step out into the online and social space. 

University is a little behind the times with social media… but you have access to people like Mya that are forging the way for online entrepreneurs and social media influencers. 

A great first step would be following Mya on Instagram (@myanichol)  where you can learn all about Instagram reels.

Hey guys! I am looking forward to you hearing from today’s special guest, Carina Belmonte!

Carina is a video producer turned into a personal branding coach and content creator and is now the Creator and Founder of the MBS Strategy and Carina Belmonte Personal Branding. She was born in Caracas, Venezuela, but has been living in Miami for the last 11 years. 

Today, she is going to talk to you about how to get the most out of your personal branding. Carina started off very shy behind the camera, but through a lot of self-discovery and intention has found herself successful and aligned in front of the camera...and she’s wanting to share how you can too!

Carina shares the behind-the-scenes process she uses for her own personal branding and her clients. Her approach to personal branding requires you to go much deeper than most agencies. Instead of diving straight into brand voice and awareness, Carina helps walk you through building your foundation first by answering questions like “Who am I?," ''What are the experiences that made me who I am and what I believe today?,”  and “What are my limiting beliefs?”

I am excited for you guys to hear Carina walk you through each step of her MBS Strategy so you can build out a strong foundation and not waste your time by expanding your brand too fast without the right foundation. Remember, your brand is not a one-time build, a brand consistently evolves.

If you are looking into your personal branding, need help discovering what your message is, what your strategy is going to be, or help around mindset, go to www.carinabelmonte.com and follow her on Instagram (@carinabelmonte) as well! There you can go book a call, get some discovery and help you get clear on this process so your personal brand can thrive.

I am excited to introduce you guys to Katrina Lebar and discuss what we believe will be THE strategy through March 2022 at least (Mark my words!).

Katrina is the Founder of Scale Your Social and Reels Like a Boss. She has mastered reels for business, and today shares some of her principles she uses across Tik Tok and Instagram so you can sell directly to the clients.

Katrina has been in social media for a long time, about 7 years, and reminisces how much harder it was for smaller businesses to get their name out on social media until reels were introduced. Reels were what helped her pivot and she is so thankful that she gets to teach them to entrepreneurs and small businesses like you!

Katrina shares the 4 categories of reels that work the best and takes your content viral: educational, inspirational, entertainment, and storytelling. She even gives an inside look into a shift into “edutainment” and what that looks like! 

This episode is for anyone that sells directly to consumers or wants to in the future! Reels are a fast-paced, fun, and lucrative opportunity for small businesses, and Katrina shares how you can see the same success she and her clients have had!

I’m excited for you to learn how to plan your content and Katrina’s time-saving “batching” method that will keep you from spending hours every day filming and posting on social media!

I highly recommend you follow Katrina on Instagram (@katrinalebar) to see these strategies in action and how you can start implementing them today! If you are interested in learning more or getting involved, Katrina has resources for every level of social seller.
