Get the blueprint to build a business that runs without you, following the same model that created Buffett and Munger's $1T company, Berkshire Hathaway: https://mattc.com/replace/Discover the exact marketing strategies, funnels, ads, principles, and frameworks I'm using to scale my businesses. Join 80,000+ people receiving my newsletter, The Scaling Journal, for free: https://www.mattc.com/newsletter/In 1972, Charlie Munger convinced Warren Buffett to do something he swore he'd never do: pay a premium for a candy company. That $25 million decision to buy See's Candies went on to generate over $2 billion in profit, and it taught Berkshire a lesson they used again on Coca-Cola and Apple, turning those into $31 billion and $100 billion wins.The thing behind all three? A mental model.I've used the same mental models to generate over $500 million in sales across my own businesses, and billions in sales for other people's. In this video, I break down the four that made the biggest difference.You'll learn:Cloning: why repeating what already works (in your business and your life) beats inventing from scratch, and how it drove roughly 80% of my successIncentives: the lever Munger said he spent his whole life underestimating, and how I used it to win a market I entered late+ The two remaining mental models I use to make faster, smarter decisions with less riskReal examples from my own life building two brands past $200M in sales, plus how Sam Walton used the same first principle to build WalmartIf you want to think more clearly and move faster in business, these four mental models are the place to start.New videos every week on building, scaling, and simplifying your business.

So I pulled our own numbers — over $100,000 in Facebook ad spend from just the last week, in a business that spends around $1 million a month on marketing — and compared our AI ads against everything else we run.Here's what I found, and how I think about building ads that actually scale, with or without AI.In this video:- What our $100K in spend actually showed about AI ad performance-The Ad Diversity Grid: persona, angle, and format (and why most people start with the wrong one)- How to find your real buyer personas by mining reviews (yours or your competitors)- Why your customers are your best copywriters- The AI ad formats that ACTUALLY work: image ads, VSLs, and animated visualization- The one AI ad format I think is going to get people sued over the next few years- The gold standard nobody wants to hear: real, unpaid customer testimonials- Why you should start with image ads before you touch videoI've been doing this for 17 years and we spend millions every quarter on marketing. AI hasn't changed what makes an ad work... it's changed how fast you can make and test them.--DISCLAIMER This video is for educational purposes only. Results vary and are not typical.

What I found was a repeatable system that has almost nothing to do with inventing a better product.In this video I break down:- Why Chad didn't invent anything new (and what he copied instead)- The "format change" strategy that lets you enter a market dominated by giants- How Grüns built hyper-specific ads for GLP-1 users, perimenopause, fiber, and daily nutrition - and matched a custom landing page to every single one- The trend-tapping hack that made their ads 2-5x more effective (the same play Monster Beverage and Tesla used)- The exact order they scaled channels: Meta → Amazon → TikTok influencers- The one metric Chad refused to violate, and why it let them spend aggressively while everyone else was guessing- Why they removed the one-time purchase option from their sales pages on purposeWhether you're just getting started or already running a six, seven, or eight-figure business, this is the playbook.I spent hours dissecting Grüns' entire ad system to train my own team and we'll do around $65M in sales this year.
