The New Generation Entrepreneur Podcast

When I started my business, my success was tied to three-dimensional "rewards." If I drove my own Jaguar, if I lived in my 5,000 square foot dream house, if I hit a million in sales… then I'd made it. The problem was, when I did get most of those things, I didn't like who I was. Yes, I'd achieved my goals, but I hadn't maintained my values. I needed to evolve with love and kindness so my values were equal no matter what I owned. Because how you define success has everything to do with whether or not you will be successful. Today on the podcast, we're rerunning and episode from a few years ago where I talked about how to redefine success in order to experience a more fulfilling life. Listen in and discover the three lessons to redefine success, how and when I recognized I was attached to the wrong things, helpful ways to define your worth the right way, and a life-changing lesson I learned from Mel Abraham on making financial decisions. When I started to redefine what success was, I actually became more successful financially, and not only that, I started to remember more of who I was, who I wanted to be, and how I wanted to show up.

Ever wonder why some posts explode while yours stall at 200 views? A few months ago my students were in the same boat. They nailed topics and titles, but their videos still limped along. Then we cracked the code: structure. Once they layered in the right triggers— to get comments, increase watch time, and inspire CTAs—the algorithm took over. One even hit 35,000 followers in just 30 days. Others scored 14,000 views and 200 new followers on a single clip. Today on the podcast… we dive into step three of our new AI-powered content system: how to structure your videos so the algorithm loves you and your DMs and comments light up. Listen in and discover why comments are the algorithm's secret weapon, how average watch time signals success (and how to hold attention), the "trigger call to action" hack that drove 100× more follows. how to spot which topics will go viral next, and what it takes to turn comments into DMs, leads, and real conversations.

The secret to growth online isn't fancy graphics or endless posting, it's relevancy. Real, nail-on-the-head scenarios that made people stop, click, and share. In episode two of our three-part series, I'm spilling how we built titles from the exact situations our audience lives through. Think beyond "How to beat overwhelm" and into "Three reasons your kids ignore you even when you're yelling up the stairs." Specific. Relatable. Unignorable. Today on the podcast, I break down how we, unearth the true problems your audience faces (not the generic fluff), inject those scenarios into thumb-stopping titles, run a simple 3-step process to spin one story into endless content, leverage numbers and thought reversals ("3 reasons," "5 mistakes," "Unpopular opinion…"), and set up our next move—algorithm triggers to boost watch time (coming in part three). Stop guessing what might work. Use real-life triggers to grab attention and build momentum before you even pitch. Tune in now and discover how to craft viral titles that grow your brand. And don't miss part three where we'll unpack the exact algorithm hacks for maximum reach.

You ever wonder how some brands just explode overnight? We quietly launched a second brand, Grounded Parenting, and in under 60 days we shot to 27,000 followers on TikTok. Now we're at 30K. No luck. It was our secret weapon: a custom messaging AI built on hundreds of conversion points and a simple step-by-step system. This week, I'm rolling out a 3-part vlog series to show you exactly how we did it—day by day, behind the scenes. Today (and tomorrow and Thursday!) on the podcast, we're teasing part one: laying the foundation for viral growth by mastering relevancy. Listen in and discover why hyper-relevant titles beat vague topics every time, the formula to craft specific scenarios that stop the scroll, how our AI outperforms ChatGPT for conversion-focused messaging, the secret sauce that turns ideas into thousands of followers, and where to get free, AI access so you can plug it into your own brand.

When it comes to messaging, there are 4 main areas I like to focus on: educational (what to do), thought reversal (shifting perspectives), self-identifying (so your audience is thinking, OMG, that's me!), and the fourth and the most overlooked of them all is connection content. A few years ago, I ran a 10-hour training and dropped an F-bomb or two. One person unsubscribed just because I cussed. And at first I panicked. Then it hit me: I don't want people sticking around for the wrong reasons. I'd rather be disliked for who I am than loved for who I'm not.  Today on the podcast we're re-running an episode all about how to lean into who you are, attract your tribe, and get them to know, like, and trust you. Listen in and discover: the 4 pillars of powerful messaging (and why connection wins), how to stand for—and against—the right things without chasing trends, the exact language hack to make your audience feel seen and heard, why sharing your biggest flop (think zero-sale webinar) builds instant rapport, and simple practices to protect your authenticity even when trolls attack.

Ever feel like you're doing everything right…and still stuck? Last week I noticed I was lugging around tiny weight belts of tasks, expectations, and rigid beliefs. It was killing my creativity. And my freedom. So I decided to let go. Today on the podcast we're revisiting one of our most powerful episodes on letting go to grow. I unpack the four areas where you might be holding on too tight—and how releasing them can ignite real progress. Listen in and discover why handing off control to your team fuels creativity (and saves you hours), how questioning society and industry "norms" frees you to stand out, the secret of sitting in silence to reconnect with your true desires, and how dropping fixed perspectives brings better relationships and sharper focus. Ready to shed the stuff that's holding you back? Tune in and learn how to lighten your load so you can scale up—without burning out. Did you enjoy this episode?

Ever poured your heart into tutorials, webinars, or posts—only to hear crickets? Or see "great info" in the comments but zero sales? I used to think if I just explained more, people would buy. But after helping thousands refine their messaging, I learned that info alone doesn't cut it. You need relevancy—those precise words that make someone think, "Wow, that's me." Today on the podcast, I'm ditching generic "give more tips" advice and diving into relevancy triggers—how to nail those exact scenarios so your audience feels heard, builds trust fast, and finally converts. Listen in and discover what "relevancy" really means and why information overload fails, the four pillars of experience (emotions, mistakes, thoughts, situations), how to use identity and hyper-specific scenarios to stop the scroll, real-world metaphors—from car mechanics to comedians—that land every time, and the exact strategy we used to grow 27,000 followers in two months. You don't need to dump every tip you know. You need your audience to feel seen. Ready to transform your message?

Why are your webinars packed with value but crickets at checkout? You can teach circles around your competition, but if you're not weaving in demand and trust first, you'll still struggle to make sales.  I learned this the hard way—running one webinar where I felt on fire, only to see zero sales… until a random DM popped up hours later saying, "Shut up and take my money." That moment flipped my world. It wasn't my pitch; it was my messaging, my relevancy triggers, and my ability to diagnose their exact problem. Today on the podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on our new AI-powered messaging system by letting you in on Day 2 of our new Messaging Meets AI workshop. We've trained it on 15 years of our most successful launches and 3,000+ students so you can discover why sales actually start the second someone sees your ad—not when you pitch, build all three levels of trust (including trusting their own ability to win with you), teach powerful concepts with metaphors and stories that spark "I can do this", diagnose your audience's daily pain points so they're DMing you first, and use simple AI prompts to pull relevancy triggers and pre-empt objections. Ready to stop giving away free info and start creating real demand? Listen now and learn how to have people begging to buy—before you even open cart.  Did you enjoy this episode?

Are you still hand-crafting every email, ad, and social post? I was, too, until our in-house AI beat me at my own game. Last week I ran a blind test, feeding our AI and my own brain the same ad prompts. I thought I'd crush it. Guess what? AI cut our cost-per-lead in half and I was left eating its digital dust. It blew my mind because I used to hate AI. Now I'm hooked. Today on the podcast I'm sharing recordings from our brand-new "Messaging Meets AI" workshop. You'll learn exactly how we built AI to leverage relevancy triggers that stop the scroll, write ads delivering $7–$9 leads instead of $15–$20, craft three content types that explode engagement, produce high-converting copy, and insert mid-video calls-to-action that drive follows. If you've been experimenting with AI—or completely avoiding it—this episode will transform how you create (and sell with) content.  Tune in now to find out what happens when you combine proven messaging formulas with trained AI. It's time to let the bots do the heavy lifting. Did you enjoy this episode? I'd love it if you'd share it on Instagram and tag me @iambrandonlucero!

I remember telling Taylor back in the Video 4X days that she'd be a killer entrepreneur. She laughed and said, "No way, not me."

Ever feel stuck, waiting for that lightning-bolt moment of clarity… only to watch days (or months) slip by? Trust me—I've been there. Between a divorce, two underperforming launches, and $40k in debt, I spent six months trapped in my head, longing for one perfect idea. But here's what I learned: clarity isn't a single moment. It's the dance between silence and action.  Today on the podcast I'm unpacking how to blend the feminine power of presence with the masculine drive to do, so you move forward with real confidence.  Listen in and discover why ruminating keeps you spinning your wheels, how imperfect action illuminates your true path, the mindset shift to merge intuition with momentum, real wins from launching an AI-powered parenting brand, and how to manifest clarity through intention + informed action. If you're done overthinking and ready to break free from indecision, this episode is your roadmap. Ready to unlock your clarity? Let's dive in.  Did you enjoy this episode?

Ever snap at someone and later wonder, "Why did I overreact?"  Last week, my daughter refused breakfast and I felt my pulse spike. I caught myself mid-yell and remembered something my friend (and mentor) Fiona Lukies taught me: "You're not in a relationship with that person—you're in a relationship with your thoughts about them." That idea changed everything. I paused, asked her what she was really feeling, and we smoothed it out—no yelling, no guilt, just understanding. Today on the podcast, Fiona joins me to unpack how your thoughts shape every connection you have—with your kids, your spouse, your business partners…even yourself. Listen in and discover what it really means to be "in a relationship with your thoughts", the difference between loaded thinking (anger, fear, urgency) and fresh thinking (clarity, calm, creativity), how to spot your trigger moments and get over yourself fast, why speaking your truth from a clear mind deepens connection (instead of destroying it), and the one question to ask before you decide to stay or go in any relationship. If you've ever felt stuck in conflict, talked yourself into staying angry, or wondered how your own mindset could unlock more ease and empathy…this episode is for you. Hit play now to learn how to navigate your thoughts, transform your relationships, and finally feel understood (and understanding) in every conversation.  Did you enjoy this episode?

This year has been brutal for almost everyone I know. Business hiccups, family dramas, even literal "truck hits you in the face" moments. I've been there—feeling unheard, shouldering old baggage, resisting change until life forced me to let go. Those hard hits can crush you… or they can be the catalyst for your biggest growth. But there's one mindset shift most people miss that turns chaos into opportunity. Today on the podcast, I sit down with my friend Brad Bizjack to unpack why resistance is your greatest roadblock, and how to flip it into fuel for your next breakthrough. Listen in and discover why accepting "what is" gives you real power to change things, the metaphorical backpack weighing down every step of your climb, how to unearth hidden beliefs that keep you playing small, the single question that exposes unexpressed pain—and frees your energy, and a simple framework to raise your emotional vibration and match your goals. If you've felt stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of muscling through the same old challenges, this episode is your roadmap out of resistance and into momentum.

We've all heard that mentors are essential for growth, and while that's true, it's equally important not to rely on them entirely. This week on the podcast, I discuss the necessity of building your own internal guidance system and maintaining your personal power. I'll share insights from my experiences with my friends and mentors like James Wedmore, Jim Fortin, and others, emphasizing that mentors should be guides, not the only decision-makers for your life. We'll also explore how to recognize when you're giving away too much of your power and the importance of aligning advice with your own excitement and purpose.

One of the biggest reasons why people aren't consuming your content is because they don't find it relevant. And the things that people find relevant are the things that create these automatic triggers inside of their subconscious. Things like emotions, curiosity, or identities, or  big realizations, that's the stuff that gets the clicks and most people don't know how to do that. Last week we did a whole episode on four different hooks that you can use to start getting people to take the automatic reactions and clicks and actions you want them to take. This week, listen and discover how to effectively use these hooks in various contexts such as ads, emails, webinars, and call-to-actions to create impactful messaging that drives actionable responses. Discover how to use them in every part of your communication from content creation to teaching to pitching and how that can get you the best traction. Ready to create content that converts?
