Are you stuck working harder but watching your growth stall? Spending your days manually chasing leads, answering the same questions on repeat, and wondering what to focus on next?

In this episode, we reveal the three core system shifts separating coaches stuck at $5K to $10K months from those building sustainable six and seven figure practices. After working with hundreds of service professionals, we break down exactly what successful coaches are doing differently in 2026... and it's not about working more hours.

You'll discover why the hustle era is officially over, how to use AI as your strategic partner instead of just a content generator, and the growth infrastructure that works while you sleep.

Key takeaways:

• The three system shifts driving real growth for coaches in 2026

• How to use AI for client delivery workflows and automated follow up sequences

• Templates that eliminate decision fatigue and save you hours every week

• Building growth infrastructure that captures and converts leads 24/7

• The real cost of staying in manual mode (opportunity cost, inconsistent results, growth ceiling)

• Moving from survival mode to CEO mode

If you're tired of piecing together random tactics and ready for a complete system that actually works, we can help you build it. Inside the Expert Authority Program, we work with established coaches who are done with the hustle and ready to install real infrastructure.

Are you falling for LinkedIn growth promises that sound too good to be true? Spoiler alert: they probably are.

In this episode, we tackle a problem we see constantly on LinkedIn: unrealistic growth expectations being sold as simple strategies. We break down a viral post claiming someone grew to 70,000 followers in just 10 minutes a day, and we do the math to show you why the numbers don't add up.

We expose the red flags of fake engagement, automated growth tactics, and engagement pods that LinkedIn openly warns against. Then we shift to what actually works: the realistic expectations you should have for sustainable network growth and the intentional strategies that create real business results.

Key takeaways:

• The acceptance rate math that reveals realistic LinkedIn growth patterns

• Red flags that signal fake engagement and automated tactics

• What Scott's 13 years of consistent LinkedIn presence has actually produced

• Why quality connections matter more than vanity metrics

• The realistic time investment required for LinkedIn growth (hint: it's not 10 minutes)

• How to use LinkedIn intentionally for actual business relationships and revenue

Stop chasing unicorns and start building something real. The slow and steady approach creates sustainable growth that actually converts to clients and revenue.

Are you jumping into 2026 planning without evaluating what actually worked this year?

In this episode, I'm doing something most business owners avoid: getting brutally honest about 2025. The wins that surprised me, the strategies that flopped hard, and the market shifts nobody saw coming.

This isn't reflection for nostalgia's sake. It's strategic. The businesses that scale aren't doing the same thing harder, they're stopping to assess and optimize based on real results.

I'm revealing my one word for 2026 (OPTIMIZATION) and sharing the Red, Yellow, Green framework I use every December to decide what stays, what needs work, and what gets cut entirely.

Key takeaways:

• Why Expert Content Society members are crushing it on LinkedIn and what content actually works (spoiler: video, newsletters, and consistency win)

• The partnership move that hit 250+ members when we weren't even trying

• Honest failures: evergreen funnels that didn't convert, features nobody wanted, and process gaps that killed our scalability

• Critical market shifts: buying patterns changed, trust became everything, and clients now expect personalized solutions with zero friction

• The simple framework for evaluating your year and planning strategically

If you're ready to stop doing more and start doing what matters, this is your starting point.

Before you map out 2026, get clear on where you actually stand. Take the LinkedIn Business Assessment to see what’s working, what’s not, and where to optimize next.

Most people hit “publish” on their LinkedIn Newsletter…and then wonder why it barely gets seen.

It’s usually not the content. It’s the visibility strategy behind it.
LinkedIn gives you powerful tools to boost your reach, but most creators skip them entirely.

If you want your newsletter to get noticed, shared, and subscribed to, here are three upgrades that change everything:

Add the LinkedIn Video Cover Feature:

• This grabs attention the moment someone lands on your newsletter page.
• A quick 10–20 second intro can double the chances someone subscribes.

Optimize your SEO title and description:

• LinkedIn (and Google) use these fields to decide whether your content appears in search.
• When you skip them, you skip discoverability.

Use images throughout your editions:

• Visuals create connection, break up long text, and guide your reader through the story.
• Engagement always increases when your editions feel more interactive.

If you’ve been publishing but not seeing the traction you expected, or you’re just getting started and want to do it right, this episode will help you finally get seen.
