Ever feel like you're doing everything right with email… but your open rates are stuck and sales feel inconsistent? Like your messages just aren't landing where they should? In this episode, I sit down with email deliverability expert Troy to break down what's actually happening behind the scenes when you hit send—and why most marketers are unknowingly training inbox providers to ignore them. We unpack the biggest mistakes killing email performance: sending too infrequently, neglecting list hygiene, falling into spam traps, and assuming your ESP is handling deliverability for you. Troy explains why inbox placement requires ongoing maintenance—and how small backend fixes can lead to massive gains. You'll learn why sending more often can improve deliverability, how cleaning your list can revive inactive subscribers, and how businesses add 10–20 percentage points to open rates without changing their offers or copy. If email is a core revenue channel for your business, this conversation will change how you think about inboxing—and what it really takes to get your emails seen, opened, and acted on.   💡 YOU'LL DISCOVER: ➡️ Understanding Email Deliverability [01:40] ➡️ Optimizing Email Content for Deliverability [10:09]  ➡️ Common Mistakes in Email Marketing [19:29] ➡️Consulting and Customization in Email Marketing [28:28] …And much more!   🏆 HELPFUL RESOURCES ✅ Visit Troy's website. ✅For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog. ✅ Get AI-Powered Marketing Ideas – Test drive Inspired as your personalized marketing butler with a 14-day free trial at getinspired.app ✅ Work With Me – If you're ready to launch your marketing system, visit https://www.joelerway.com/ to inquire about working directly with me.   🔔 SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST: Youtube, Apple Podcasts,  Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher.   👉 FOLLOW JOEL ON SOCIAL MEDIA:  Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin.

Think AI is just another trend? Think again. It's not just changing the way we work—it's reshaping how we communicate, create, and connect. In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Mast of White Beard Strategies to explore how AI is transforming business and marketing right now. From his early experiments with ChatGPT to building custom GPTs that handle social media and support—Jonathan doesn't just talk tech. He uses it, daily. We dig into what's working (and what's not) across platforms like YouTube, Facebook, and Google—and how new tools like Comet AI and Genspark are quietly shifting the landscape. This isn't about hype. It's about leverage.

Ever feel like you're doing everything right, but the energy just isn't flowing your way? Like opportunities, people, and momentum are just... out of reach? In this episode, I dive into the unexpected habit that's quietly shaped my life for decades: smiling. Not the fake kind—just a subtle, natural smirk that shifts how people see you and how you see yourself. I share real stories—from childhood kitchens to billionaire dinner tables—where a simple smile became the reason someone leaned in, started a conversation, or opened a door. It's not about charm. It's about state. It's about magnetism. You'll hear why this small act can flip your mindset, attract aligned energy, and create real, tangible results—without you saying a word.

Trying to build real wealth with digital products—but feel stuck playing small? You're not alone. In this episode, I'm sharing the core mindset shift that separates struggling entrepreneurs from those who create true, lasting freedom: asset stacking. After years of selling both high-ticket and low-ticket offers, I've realized the real game isn't just about what you sell—it's about what you build. You'll learn why every product, email list, and audience member is a potential income-producing asset—and how to create systems that pay you beyond the initial sale. I'll break down why low-ticket offers are more powerful than ever, how AI has changed the playing field, and the one critical focus that makes advertising feel effortless (and profitable).

Struggling to turn low-ticket sales into real profit? You're not alone. In this episode, I'm breaking down the single biggest shift you need to make: stop selling products, and start selling progress. After launching 20+ low-ticket offers with partners, I've seen one thing separate the profitable funnels from the duds: bridge thinking. You'll learn why every front-end offer is just the first step—and how your upsells must guide buyers across their next hurdle. I'll walk you through the mindset shift that turns $50 buyers into $300 customers, the two biggest mistakes killing your upsell conversions, and how to map out simple, logical bridges that unlock real scale.

Think you need a finished product before you start selling? Think again. In this episode, I'm sharing how one $17 sale in a parking lot changed everything—and why proof of concept is the most powerful momentum builder you'll ever find. You'll hear the full story behind my very first digital product launch, how I went from knowing nothing about marketing to seeing sales roll in while on vacation, and why launching before building is the fastest path to real results. I'll walk you through the simple testing methodology my partners are using right now to get sales—often before their product is even created—and how we're helping first-time offer creators see wins within days, not months.

Struggling to find your true north? In this episode, I'm sharing a personal story about the time I almost quit entrepreneurship and made a drastic pivot in my life and business. I'll talk about how I went through an "exploring phase," nearly leaving my marketing career for something completely different—cryptocurrency—and what I learned in the process. You'll hear how I almost took a 9-to-5 job in a new industry but realized it wasn't aligned with my values or my mission.

Still think you need a long funnel to make sales? That mindset might be the reason you're stuck. In this episode, I dive into the truth behind what actually drives conversions today—and it's not complicated funnels or endless nurturing. It's simple, direct offers made to the people who are already ready to buy. You'll hear the behind-the-scenes story of how Cole Gordon used a single Power Offer to generate millions, and why this approach—first introduced back in 2016—is more effective than ever in today's social-driven world.

In this episode, I share the biggest mistake entrepreneurs are making with AI: treating it like a tool instead of an employee. I break down the crucial shift you need to make to truly leverage AI's potential—by employing AI as an agent that works for you autonomously. I explain how AI can act as your personalized marketing assistant, handling tasks behind the scenes and bringing you content every day, so you don't have to restart the machine each time.
