Expert Edge Podcast

As a coach, your mindset is your most important asset. This is especially true when you're trying to create a life of monetary abundance. A lot of people, myself included, grew up in a situation where money was seen as scarce. Not as something that flows easily and effortlessly into our lives. Because of this, there’s a tendency to have a scarcity mindset about money. It took me a long time to overcome this mindset. But once I realized the mindset shifts I needed to make, it was easy. So to save you the trouble, I created this episode so that you can immediately uplevel your money mindset to abundance.    Discover how to authentically connect with your audience & fill your programs with a Conversion Story. https://www.conversionstoryformula.com Hit the "Follow" button so you don't miss an episode!

Most coaches think scaling is about finding the perfect funnel, running the right ads, or tweaking their webinar script until it’s flawless. But here’s the truth: growing to a million isn’t about hacks, it's about climbing the right ladder, one phase at a time. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I break down the Million Dollar Scaling Ladder the exact journey I took from 120 hours of free coaching to running a multi-seven-figure business (without burning out). You’ll learn: The four distinct phases of business growth and what to focus on at each one so you don’t waste time or stall out. When to hire your first team member (and when to stop doing everything yourself). The identity shift you must make to break through the $500K–$1M ceiling and step into true CEO leadership. If you’ve been hustling to grow but feel like you’re spinning your wheels or stuck at the same revenue level, this episode will show you what’s missing and how to climb to the next step without skipping the ones that matter most.

Want to sell more from stage before you even start speaking? In this episode of the Expert Edge, I break down the invisible (but powerful) element behind high-converting presentations: stage presence. Whether you’re speaking live or virtually, your ability to hold attention and build trust starts before your first slide. It’s not just about having a polished deck or a strong pitch, it's about the energy, confidence, and clarity you bring into the room. Here’s what we cover: How to use The Emotional Calibration Technique to go from squirrel brain to fully present in under 60 seconds Why intentional silence is one of your most persuasive tools How body language, tone, and pacing instantly shift audience trust If you’ve ever watched someone totally captivate a room and wondered, “How do they do that?”  This episode unpacks the how, the why, and the actionable tools to help you do the same.   PRE-ORDER BOOK BONUS: If you haven’t pre-ordered my new published book One Presentation Away yet—this is the best time.

When the market feels shaky, most coaches and course creators do one of two things: Panic. Or pause everything. But neither one actually helps you grow. In this episode of the Expert Edge, Colin breaks down three practical, battle-tested strategies that will help you stay clear, confident, and profitable—even when the economy’s wobbly and your launch starts looking like a ghost town. You’ll learn: Why your beliefs about the market might be costing you more than the market itself. How to elevate your audience and attract higher-level clients (even now). The real reason your offer isn’t converting—and how to make it actually irresistible. This episode isn’t about fear tactics or false hype. It’s about leading yourself (and your business) wisely, especially when things feel uncertain. If you’ve been feeling stuck, spinning, or low-key stressed—this episode will give you the reset you didn’t know you needed.   PRE-ORDER BOOK BONUS: If you haven’t pre-ordered my new published book One Presentation Away yet—this is the best time.

Most coaches think that if they just dial in their funnel, optimize their email sequence, or finally crack the perfect ad—they’ll start converting more clients. But here’s the truth: it’s not just about tactics. It’s about the transfer of belief. In this episode of the Expert Edge, I dive deep into the invisible strategy that underpins every high-converting sales experience—and most people don’t even know they’re doing it wrong. You’ll learn: Why belief is more powerful than persuasion—and how to transfer it. How to show up with authority without being salesy or pushy. The subtle shifts that get potential clients saying “yes” before you even make the offer. Whether you're selling on a webinar, in a DM, or from a stage, this episode will help you close more clients—by focusing on what they actually need to believe to buy.   PRE-ORDER BOOK BONUS: If you haven’t pre-ordered my new published book One Presentation Away yet—this is the best time.

You don’t need more funnels, more content, or another “10K in 10 Days” webinar. You need to stop thinking thoughts that sound smart… but are quietly sabotaging your business. In this episode of the Expert Edge, I’m breaking down the 5 most common toxic thoughts I’ve seen in the coaching and course creator world. These are the sneaky ones. The ones that hide under the mask of “responsibility” and “logic”... but slowly chip away at your momentum, your confidence, and your income. Here’s the thing: If you don’t learn how to spot them, you’ll keep spinning in circles—wondering why your “proven” strategies aren’t working anymore. But once you become aware of them, everything changes. I’ll walk you through: Why one “harmless” belief might be costing you hundreds of clients The difference between smart growth and disguised self-sabotage The mindset shift that separates stuck coaches from the 7-figure ones This one’s practical, honest, and might sting a little in the best way. Listen in now—and free yourself from the thoughts that have been holding you back (without you even realizing it).   PRE-ORDER BOOK BONUS: If you haven’t pre-ordered my new published book One Presentation Away yet—this is the best time.

If strategy was the whole answer, we’d all be millionaires by now. But if you’ve ever had a “successful” launch and still felt anxious…  ...or watched your Stripe account grow while your confidence still lacked… There’s something deeper going on. In this episode of the Expert Edge, I’m pulling back the curtain on a conversation we all need to have—but most people avoid: your nervous system. Because here’s the truth: You don’t just build a business with strategy—you build it with your state. And if your nervous system is stuck in stress, fear, or fight-or-flight mode... it doesn’t matter how good your funnels are. You’ll keep self-sabotaging your growth. In this solo episode, I’m breaking down how I’ve personally rewired my own nervous system for success—and how I coach my students through the same process. You’ll learn: Why high performance often hides chronic stress How to identify nervous system dysregulation in your business The #1 somatic shift I made to finally feel safe hitting 6 and 7-figure months And how to lead from calm, power, and presence—no matter what’s happening externally This episode is vulnerable, practical, and probably the missing piece you didn’t know you needed. If you’ve been stuck at a plateau—or pushing so hard you’re burning out—this one’s for you.

Ever felt stuck, spiraling, or just plain panicked in your business? You're not alone. In fact, fear is a frequent visitor at every stage of growth—whether you're launching your first offer or scaling past seven figures. In this episode of the Expert Edge, I break down the five coaching questions I personally use (and teach my clients) to shift from fear into focus, from overwhelm into clarity, and from spinning your wheels into real momentum. You’ll learn: Why your brain defaults to disempowering questions—and how to override it. The exact reframe that helps you uncover opportunity in the middle of chaos. How to use “certainty-based thinking” to make bold decisions that align with your future self. Whether you’re leading clients through emotional blocks or navigating your own, these five questions will become your go-to toolset for turning stuckness into strategy.

Most people think scaling to $100K months is about better ads, more traffic, or a shinier funnel. But after working with thousands of coaches and course creators, I can tell you—it’s not just strategy. It’s identity. In this solo episode of the Expert Edge, I walk you through the five powerful inner shifts that I had to make (and that my most successful students also made) to step into consistent $100K months. You’ll learn: Why your beliefs are often your biggest bottleneck—and how to change them. How your environment silently reinforces your income ceiling. What high-level entrepreneurs focus on that most people ignore completely. The mindset shift that separates “busy” entrepreneurs from wildly profitable ones. Why clarity on who you are is more valuable than any marketing hack. If you’re feeling stuck at your current income level and sense that it’s not about the tactics, this episode will meet you where you’re at—and show you what’s actually required to go to the next level.

If it ever feels like you’re doing 17 different jobs just to run your business… you probably are. And here’s the truth: most of those jobs can (and should) be automated with AI. In this episode of the Expert Edge, I’m sharing the 5 most effective ways I’m using AI right now in my coaching business.

Here’s what I break down in this episode: How I use AI to plan and build coaching programs faster (and with more clarity) The tool that turns my voice into a week’s worth of content The prompt framework I personally use to get better results from ChatGPT How I’m creating visuals, slides, and marketing assets in minutes—not hours Why my emails and sales pages still sound like me (even when AI writes the first draft) If you’ve been watching AI from the sidelines or you’ve dabbled but haven’t gone all in, this episode will help you finally put it to work in a way that feels natural (and actually fun).

If your offer used to sell like hotcakes but now it’s just… sitting there, this episode is for you. In this solo session, Colin breaks down the four core shifts you need to breathe life back into an offer that’s stopped converting.

How to simplify your promise so it lands instantly (and why complexity kills conversions). Easy, no-brainer tweaks you can make to boost perceived value and get more yeses without lowering the price. How to add emotion, story, and resonance that drives action instead of apathy.

With over 700K followers and a multi-7-figure business built on Instagram, Brock brings the data, the strategy, and a whole lot of clarity. You’ll learn: Why your Reels aren’t getting seen (and what to change right away). The most underused Instagram features that boost engagement without burning out. How to design a 30-day Instagram strategy that drives leads and converts followers into buyers. If you’ve ever felt like you're playing catch-up with the algorithm or wasting hours creating content that flops, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to post with purpose.
