    This is not a reaction to the content itself, but a look at how attention, personal branding, conferences, and business interests all work together behind the scenes.

    LinkedIn isn’t paying you for “consistency,” and followers don’t automatically turn into revenue.

    2:02 - Lie #1: Posting content = money

  • Zoom is Ruining Your Podcast, Try Riverside.fm Instead

    Watch the full tutorial on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6eb6unmDG4

    90% of podcasts don’t make it past episode 8 — not because the host lacks talent, but because the workflow gets annoying and people quit.


    In this walkthrough, I show you what modern podcasting looks like in Riverside in 3 simple steps:

    1. Record + schedule sessions (solo or with guests)
    2. Post-produce with in-software editing + Magic Clips
    3. Publish/export long-form + clips to YouTube and podcast platforms

    https://mailchi.mp/podcastprinciples.com/script

    Advisors spend less than 2% of revenue on marketing, and I want to keep it that way.


    In this video, I walk you through my $0 organic marketing plan for RIAs and financial advisors. It’s built for advisors selling plans, wealth management, products, or a mix of all three, and it’s designed to work in 2026 and beyond.


    I also share a simple scripting structure that makes prep easy: hook, body, outro. Then we go into repurposing tools, posting cadence, and the compliance-friendly workflow that makes approvals way easier by getting the long-form transcript approved first.


    Finally, we talk conversion. Content creates attention, but clients come from having a clear bridge to a helpful free resource and actually starting real conversations.
