01 / Fit

Who this is for.

You’re not new at this. You’re doing fine on other platforms — long-form YouTube is the channel you haven’t cracked. If all three below describe you, keep reading.

You have a real business

You're already selling products or services, and content is a core part of your business. This isn't for beginners figuring out what to sell or who to sell to — you have that locked in, and you're ready to unlock long form.

You're posting consistently

You're consistently publishing video content for your business. The reps aren't the problem — the system behind them is.

You've invested in long form — it isn't working yet

You know how to talk in front of the camera and what kind of value your audience wants. You just don't know how to take it to another level with long form.

02 / The promise

In 12 months, you leave with:

01

A documented content strategy

Long-form and short-form, mapped to your ideal customer — written down, not living in your head.

02

Ideation, audience & production clarity

Content ideation systems, audience identification, and a production system so clear your team can run it without you.

03

A repeatable process for scaling

Your first video mapped per bucket — long form and short form — and a 90-day production waterfall map you rerun every quarter.

A documented content strategy: goal, audience, content pillars, content plan, and distribution

03 / What you get

How the engine gets installed.

01

  • Weekday responses within 48 hours — your important questions answered, so your team never stalls

04

Quarterly 90-Minute Board Reviews — John + Production Team

  • John and the production team review your content output and performance against the plan
  • Update your 12-month roadmap
  • Tighten your ideation → production → analysis workflow based on real data

Included Bonuses

01

02

Emergency Hot Button

Twice a year, trigger a 72-hour Loom review from John on a major content or offer decision.

From inside the room

The Installation Guarantee — we work free until it's in place

The Installation Guarantee

The engine gets built — or we keep working free.

Show up to your calls and use the Content Ops Channel for the first 90 days. If you don’t have a documented long- and short-form strategy, a 12-month production map, and a working ideation → production → analysis system your team is actually using — we work with you at no additional cost for up to 6 more months until they’re in place.

Operator seats are limited to protect access

Stop guessing.Start compounding.

If it’s a fit, we build your first 90-day production plan on the first call.
