@thesamocean BUT super fun with the team culture we have hah

Running a YouTube agency is hard. We have to write 20m scripts in the voice of an expert who's been obsessed with their craft for 20 years. We solved this by hiring a direct response copy chief who currently writes for cold traffic for 8-fig brands. Investment is paying off.

@thesamocean Love it! Peter Crone!

First viral YouTube video in the spirituality niche. 🔥 This helped us cross 100,000 subscribers recently for this channel. It took us a LOT of testing to find the angles and emotions that this market responds to with YouTube videos. But once we found it… We doubled down and 2x’ed the growth curve. YouTube is hard not because it might not work. There’s a strong chance YOU can win on YouTube too. But it’s hard because it can take awhile to find the winning combination of elements Here’s how we do it: 1. Test wide. Try a bunch of new things. Bring your wild creative ideas to life. See what hits and what doesn’t. Ideas, angles, titles, thumbnails, emotions, script structures, all of it. 2. Test deep. Take anything from step 1 that got at least 3x-5x the results above baseline, and double down on it. You’re still testing, but you’re testing within what you found works. 3. Maximize. You’re taking the findings from the two previous steps and doubling down again. By now, you should be doing 80% what works, and testing 20% of the time. This is not a hard rule. We can never guarantee WHEN something will work, but we can guarantee we have the best damn process to eventually figure it out. Onto the next 💪

@GregLuntX Work to do

@GregLuntX Gotta jump off guys

@sarachesches @sarachesches beautiful breakdown there’s one thing you’re missing. Slack me what you think it is :) btw Sara - best podcast thumbnail designer on the market

@thesamocean ❤️ the boring ops guy

My business partner @TimDyrdin is the “boring ops guy…” But my team doesn’t realize he’s a hidden YouTube genius. He currently holds the record for most viral podcast in our agency, and he just hit 4 little outliers for a single client in a 2-week period. This client is about to hit 100,000 subscribers, but it was going a little too slow for Tim’s liking… So Tim just took over the whole account… Strategy, content, titles, thumbnails, editing… And decided to speed run it. Looks like we’ll have our third 100k award in a matter of weeks.

@thesamocean Who is Gkutafiione?

I used my low IQ to close 8- and 9-figure health brands. Here’s how: Four months ago, my partner @TimDyrdin and I try to pull off a huge marketing stunt. We spend everything in our business bank account (not much for an 8-month-old agency)… And we fly to Texas for a 4,000-person biohacking event to make a name for ourselves. We’re looking to use our biggest case study in the health industry to close more health clients. Seems smart, right? So we print over 4,000 pages of our agency’s internal SOPs, strategies, and even design custom thumbnails for certain speakers… And we GIVE it all away for free. The problem? Everybody attending is really smart with this health stuff. Tim is an MSc in preclinical medicine and molecular biology, so he fits right in. But me? I’m a community college dropout who got a C+ in English. I start to feel anxious and insecure. I’m about to be the dumbest person in a room filled with thousands of people. So I think about it for a day… And then a thought pops up from the depths of my marketing brain: Just use your dumbness to your advantage. So I did. I printed a shirt that played into my flaws… And I wore that thing in front of the smartest people in the industry. In the last four months, we’ve signed with over a dozen new clients in the health industry, at the 7-, 8-, and 9-figure range. And all of this momentum STARTED by rocking that damn shirt. I call it the dumb shirt funnel, and I’ve lost track of the ROI on it so far. You must realize two things are true right now: 1. Trust is at an all time low. 2. Everybody is literally the same. This means you will win more by OWNING your flaws… And there’s a disproportionate upside to being different… Even if it means showing people you can’t spell.

@thesamocean Peter is the best

Everyone's slinging cold emails. We're slinging 200-page folders with free YouTube sauce, hand-delivered. Peter Crone became a client 30 days after this video, and he didn't even look at what was inside. @TimDyrdin rocked it.

@EntropicEmber Legit the worst stack of books (except Dostoyevsky of course)

If you read any of these (except Dostoyevsky). I'm sorry but you're destined to be a permanormie.

@sarachesches So good @sarachesches

Title: "Love is Dead" Which packaging looks more remarkable?

6 different packaging (thumbnail + title) for @TimDyrdin which one wins?

@thesamocean Sam why you scam people bro

I started paid ads for my B2B YouTube offer. under $50 in spend and I have my first troll. says I photoshopped my YouTube awards and calls me a scammer. His name? Micky Phucks Yorface. I've been phucked. let the ad hunger games begin

“How can I make my employees see my business the same way I do?” Simple. You can’t. And the longer you pretend otherwise, the more expensive the gap becomes—financially, emotionally, operationally. You’re not fighting laziness or misalignment or lack of training. You’re fighting reality itself. Or more precisely: internal models of it. They’re not looking at your business. They’re looking at their version of it. Everything a person experiences—your pitch deck, your roadmap, your tone in the all-hands—isn’t experienced as it is. It’s experienced as the brain recreates it. Nothing enters consciousness directly. No visuals. No words. No emotion. Just signals. Electrical, chemical, pressure-based—translated inside a pitch-black skull into some usable model of the world. So when you talk to your team about the future, about ownership, about risk—they’re not processing what you mean. They’re processing what their brain makes of it. And just like that, the air goes out of your idea.

There’s a certain kind of person who thinks they’ve figured it all out. They mistake latest information on the market for the final word. Climb one hill and assume that’s the whole mountain range. The ones who actually know something quietly admit they don’t. “Certainty” is just a softer word for “control”. Feels safe. Looks sharp. But it blinds. These people defend their worldview like it’s their identity—because it is. And when that worldview cracks… there’s not much left underneath. They look confident, but it’s brittle. One well-placed question, and the whole frame collapses. You just have to know where to apply pressure 😉 What’s strange is watching people like this lead. Because to lead well, you have to be the first to admit where you might be wrong. You have to see all the angles—including the one that shows your flaws. But these types don’t live in angles. They live in noise. Volume. But never depth. It works on people which are looking for “shortcuts”. But the ones looking for depth? They walk right past it. These people aren’t dangerous because they know too much. They’re dangerous because they don’t know what they’ve skipped. And because they think no one will notice. But someone always does. And behind the sharp certainty and airtight logic—there’s just fear. Fear of being seen. Fear of not knowing.

Once the rain is over the umbrella becomes a burden. And these days that’s how loyalty stops - when benefits end.

You can not evaluate yourself. All this self-evaluation nonsense is just that - nonsense.

@jimburgess You had me on “real ones not internet ones”

I speak to a lot of founders (real ones not internet ones) and they mostly don’t care about personal branding. They do however care if you’re credible, have proof to back up your claims and if you act like a muppet online. Most won’t do business with an attention starved wannabe celebrity.
