Grow Your Business on YouTube in 90 Minutes with Jerry Potter
Let's be honest: social media can feel like a hamster wheel. You post on Instagram or LinkedIn, get a few likes, and 24 hours later, that content is dead and you're back to square one. But what if your content worked for you, building momentum over months and even years? That's the promise of YouTube. In this episode, I sit down with YouTube strategist Jerry Potter, who breaks down exactly how busy business owners can build a lead-generating channel in just 90 minutes a week—without becoming a full-time content creator. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/609 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

Outside-In Marketing Strategy with James Hipkin
Most of us think our websites are working just fine. They look good. They're fast. They have all our information right there on the homepage. But here's the problem: your website isn't about you. If you're standing on your digital rooftop shouting about how awesome you are—your 15 years in business, your features, your awards—you're doing inside-out marketing. And it's probably why your growth has stalled. James Hipkin has been building businesses with digital marketing since 2010, and he's here to flip the script. Today, we're talking about the shift from inside-out to outside-in marketing, why your website needs to engage visitors in six seconds or less, and how to stop wasting money on tactics that don't work. This is the conversation that might finally make your website work as hard as you do. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/608 Rich's AI Workshop on 12/11/2025: https://www.takeflyte.com/flyte-school-live Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

Create Custom AI Assistants with Mike Allton
You're wearing all the hats. Marketing, operations, sales, customer service—maybe even IT support when the printer acts up again. And somewhere in there, you're supposed to actually grow your business. Here's the thing: You don't need to hire a whole team to get help. You need to build one out of AI. Mike Allton, creator of The AI Hat and AI architect for solopreneurs, is going to show you how to create your first AI assistant—one that doesn't just spit out generic responses, but actually works the way you work. We're talking about AI that challenges your assumptions, asks clarifying questions, and handles those repetitive tasks you've been meaning to delegate for months. Whether you're a one-person show or running a small team, this episode gives you the blueprint for building AI teammates that free up your most valuable resource: time. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/607 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

Creating Messages That Stick with Tamsen Webster
If you've ever wondered why some marketing messages stick while others vanish faster than your last new year's resolution, you're not alone. The problem isn't that you're bad at messaging—it's that you're only talking to half your audience's brain. Message designer Tamsen Webster returns to the show to explain why speaking to both the analytical and automatic brain is the difference between messages that get ignored and ones people can't unhear. She breaks down her ITBA framework (if, then, because, and) and shows us how to craft messages that create not just clicks, but lasting change. If you've been throwing marketing spaghetti at the wall hoping something sticks, this conversation will give you a better approach. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/606 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?

Paid Search for Small Budgets with Brooke Osmundson
Look, I get it. You've got a modest marketing budget, and every time you hear about Google Ads, you think: "That's for the big players with deep pockets." But here's the thing: paid search can absolutely work for small budgets—you just can't play by the same rules as enterprise brands throwing around unlimited cash. Brooke Osmundson, Director of Growth Marketing at Smith Microsoftware, joined me to break down exactly how small businesses can make paid search work when you're working with $20 to $50 a day (or even less). She's been in the trenches on both the agency and in-house side, managing everything from local clinics to Fortune 100 companies, so she knows what actually works—and what's just burning money. If you've been frustrated by rising costs, spread-thin budgets, or campaigns that seem to eat cash without delivering results, this conversation will change how you think about paid search. No fluff, no impossible tactics—just practical strategies you can use today. https://www.theagentsofchange.com/605 Need help with your branding, website, or digital marketing?
