139. The #1 skill every entrepreneur needs in the AI era

In today’s episode, I dive into a concept that completely shifted how I think about business growth—pattern recognition. After listening to an interview with Tony Robbins, I realized that the most valuable skill in today’s AI-driven world isn’t just using AI—it’s knowing how to think. I break down why pattern recognition is the skill that separates entrepreneurs who are growing from those who feel stuck, and how combining this skill with AI can completely change the game.I also walk you through why AI isn’t the magic answer people think it is. It can analyze data, but it can’t replace your intuition, your curiosity, or your lived experience. I share how pattern recognition shows up not just in your content and strategy, but in your habits, your thoughts, and the way you show up in your business. Plus, I give you a simple 7-day exercise to start strengthening this skill immediately.What you'll learnWhy pattern recognition is the most important skill in the AI eraThe key difference between using AI and thinking for yourselfThe three things AI will never do for you in your businessHow successful entrepreneurs use pattern recognition to grow fasterThe role of internal patterns (thoughts, habits, behaviors) in holding you back or moving you forwardA simple daily exercise to help you start recognizing your own patternsResources & Links:ScalabilityOverflow MastermindKajabi 30-day free trial + 2 bonuses150 Free HooksIG University30 Days of Manychat Pro FREELearn how to run successful paid adsSome of the links mentioned are affiliate links, which help to support this podcast at no additional cost to you!Connect with Mya:Follow on Instagram @myanicholJoin my email listCheck out my websiteWatch this episode on YouTubeRead this episode in blog format hereMore about the Radical Disruption podcast:Are you wanting to make waves in your industry, push the envelope, and change the way things are done in a radical way?

138. I studied 200+ viral posts. Here’s what I learned

In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what’s actually working on Instagram right now in 2026 after studying over 200 high-performing posts across multiple niches. I share the biggest pattern I found (and no, it’s not some secret hack), plus how you can start creating content that connects, performs, and actually gets people to stop scrolling.I also walk through three specific hook formulas that are consistently driving views, engagement, and growth—along with why they work and how to apply them to your own content without overthinking it. If your content has been feeling flat lately, this will shift how you approach everything.What you'll learnHigh-performing content creates an “identity moment” that makes the viewer feel seenGeneric content gets ignored—specificity is what makes people stop and engagePOV hooks work by placing the viewer directly into a relatable, detailed moment“Permission slip” hooks tap into what your audience already wants but needs validation forBold or controversial hooks spark curiosity and increase engagementResources & Links:ScalabilityOverflow MastermindKajabi 30-day free trial + 2 bonuses150 Free HooksIG University30 Days of Manychat Pro FREELearn how to run successful paid adsSome of the links mentioned are affiliate links, which help to support this podcast at no additional cost to you!Connect with Mya:Follow on Instagram @myanicholJoin my email listCheck out my websiteWatch this episode on YouTubeRead this episode in blog format hereMore about the Radical Disruption podcast:Are you wanting to make waves in your industry, push the envelope, and change the way things are done in a radical way?
