We found out last week that Meta is about to take away my credit card points. Our first reaction was: between the brands we manage and my own ad spend, we put a LOT of money through Meta every single month. And all those credit card points? They add up to real cash back. 

What we found is honestly bigger than credit card points. Rumor has it, Meta is changing the entire way they bill advertisers — starting April 1st. And whether you're spending two hundred bucks a day or twenty thousand, this is going to affect how cash moves through your business.

Ever launch a brand new ad on Meta and wonder why it's barely spending? You're not alone - it's one of the most common questions we get from our coaching clients. In this episode, Dylan asks Josh 5 of the biggest Meta ads questions he hears every single week.

Questions covered:
1. Why does Meta not spend on newly launched ads?
2. Why does your ROAS spike every time you run a promotion?
3. What ratio of paid ads to organic social posts should you be doing?
4. How do you create diversity in ads with the same messaging?
5. Is it dangerous putting all your eggs in one product basket?

Whether you're troubleshooting your Meta ad spend, trying to stabilize your ROAS, or building a smarter creative strategy - this episode has the answers you, and so many other ecommerce brands, been looking for.

If you’ve been saying “I need better ads” or “I need my ROAS higher,” this episode might sting a little.

Because most ecommerce brands aren’t stuck from lack of effort - they’re stuck because they’re attacking the wrong constraint.

We break down the four levers of business growth (Acquisition, Fulfillment, Product Dev, Ops) and explain how to stop bucket-thinking your problems. Ads aren’t one thing. Teams aren’t one thing. Profit isn’t one thing.

We also walk through leading vs. lagging indicators, wildly important goals, and how to identify what you can actually control this week to move the business forward.

Hard truth: when growth stalls, it’s usually leadership - not the algorithm.

In this episode, Josh sits down with Dr. Mark Matthews - PhD in psychology and high-performance coach - to unpack something most founders never stop to examine:

The difference between achievement and fulfillment.

You’ll hear:
- The ACTUAL definition of addiction
- How high performers unknowingly train their nervous system for constant stimulation
- The hidden cost of being achievement-obsessed
- Why reflection might be the most powerful growth lever you’re ignoring
- How three simple identity words can radically change your relationships and leadership

This conversation goes deeper than tactics.

It challenges how you define success.
How you show up at home.
And whether you’re building a business… or slowly losing the parts of yourself that matter most.

If you’re driven, ambitious, and always thinking about work — this episode will hit close to home.

And it might just change how you think about performance forever.

►  State Of Meta Ads Workshop

In this episode, Josh sits down with Nicole, co-founder of Bunnie Box and GPig Box - hyper-niche subscription brands that started as a simple idea… with a guinea pig sitting on her desk.

In month one?
She pre-sold the idea and hit 380 subscribers at under $10 CPA.

Growth became harder in a post-iOS 14 world where Meta changes constantly. Which is what caused Nicole to begin within with us. 

Now? They’ve crossed 3,200+ monthly subscribers, expanded into a second market, and transformed their margins from ~30% to 70–80% by bringing manufacturing in-house.

In this episode, Josh and Dylan break down GEM (Generative Ads Model)—Meta’s new advertising “brain” - and why it’s not a small update… it’s a complete shift in how your ads get rewarded or even worse - punished.

If your ads get engagement but won’t scale…
If your ROAS feels unstable…
If performance feels harder than it did a year ago…
This episode explains why.
