The Step by Step Plan 7-Figure Entrepreneurs are Using to Grow in 2026 with James Wedmore Part 3

That idea blew my mind when my friend James Wedmore shared how a crippling lawsuit nearly ended his business… and then forced him to break through fear, build the right container, and jump from $2M to $10M in just one year.

Listen in and discover: • Why facing fear exposes what truly matters and ignites unstoppable momentum • How to build the "infrastructure" that supports massive growth instead of just maintenance • The shift from playing "not to lose" to playing "to win" (and why it changes everything) • Which role you must step into next and what to hand off to free your time and energy • How to leverage AI without losing your unique perspective and authenticity If you're tired of slow inch-by-inch gains and ready to see what your business is truly capable of, this episode is for you.

The Great 'Online Expert' Reset of 2026 - Part 2: What Nobody's Saying

Ever drown in AI prompts…only to watch your conversions flatline? I felt the same frustration when I first tried AI everything sounded generic, hooks underwhelmed, and my students weren't getting better results. Then I flipped the script. The real winners won't be the ones who outsource their brainpower but those who fuse AI with their own mastery and human insight. Today on the podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on the three pivots you need to thrive in the age of AI: • Weaving your unique expertise into every AI prompt for one-of-a-kind messaging • AI analytics hacks to uncover hidden patterns in your own data (and your competitors') • Simple AI workflows that slash onboarding times and supercharge fulfillment • Spotting new problems in a shifting market and building offers that resonate Plus, get a sneak peek at next week's episode with my buddy James Wedmore, where we'll dive into how to quantum-leap your results once you've nailed these foundations.

The Great 'Online Expert' Reset of 2026 - Part 1: What Nobody's Saying

Have you felt stuck lately sales flatlining, content fizzling, and wondering what happened? I've seen more change in this space over the last 12 months than in the past decade. AI's rewriting the rules, algorithms are pickier, and everyone's drowning in offers. It's like riding a roller coaster blindfolded… until you get off and finally see the tracks. That's why I'm kicking off a three-part podcast series on how I'd build a business from scratch in 2026 starting with what's actually changed and why old tactics won't work anymore. Today on the podcast, we dive into part one: The New Rules of the Game Listen in and discover: • Why AI isn't just a fancy tool it's rewriting how people consume information • The "river" of content that's never been bigger and the blockers keeping you out • How ultra-specific messaging (not features) is your new secret weapon • Why ads → webinar is yesterday's playbook and what to do instead • The power of organic virality + retargeting your top-performing clips If you've ever wondered why people aren't buying despite your best offers, this episode will light the path forward. Tune in now and learn what you need to thrive in the era of AI, algorithms, and attention scarcity. Ready to go further into building a business?

Quantum Growth: When Purpose Meets the Algorithm

Ever felt stuck in a project that's making money but not lighting you up? I've been there. After a big downturn (and a divorce), work became a chore, not a thrill. So I grabbed my blender figuratively and threw in two big realizations from the last few weeks. Today on the podcast, I'm blending: How to know when to move on or double down when your project still needs love. Why passion fuels perseverance (even if the cash isn't rolling in…yet). How AI and algorithms are reshaping social media: go viral, then laser-target your fastest buyers. Listen in and discover: - The clear sign it's time to pivot (or press play on your true calling) - Why an 18% conversion on a tiny webinar felt like unicorn magic and what lit me up - The algorithm hacks that reward hooks, drop skip rates, and supercharge views - How to remarket to the exact people who watched your viral clip - The blueprint to turn engagement into email subscribers (and sales) Ready to blend purpose and profit and crank your impact to eleven?

Core lessons would let me rebuild my business in one year

I once spent years posting tutorials, hoping "just adding value" alone would make sales roll in. I watched my YouTube subscribers climb, and my email list grow slowly but my revenue barely budged. After 10 years building my multimillion-dollar course business, I realized these core lessons would let me rebuild in one year (not ten) if everything fell apart tomorrow. Today on the podcast, we dive into the five brutal truths I had to learn the hard way: • Why "just add value" still won't guarantee sales • The real gap between organic reach and paid ads and when to embrace both • How the dance of speed vs. stillness unlocks momentum and mastery • Why teaching from hard-won experience crushes textbook theory • The mindset shift of owning 100% responsibility (victimhood stops growth) These aren't fluffy tips they're proven shortcuts to speed your progress and vault your business forward. Tune in and discover how to build faster, smarter, and stronger than ever before.

Content Lab is LIVE - More engagement in 30 days than all of last year

Ever feel like going viral is just luck? Spoiler alert: it's not. Over the past year I came out of a personal fog into a world where AI copycats flooded every niche—and my sales flatlined. Then I stumbled on a simple truth: great content follows a science. Back in September I launched a grounded parenting channel as a case study for our messaging AI, Bots Convert. In weeks we hit 27k followers on TikTok, 5k on Instagram, and scored 200k views on a single post. And none of it was dancing or lip-syncing hacks—it was pure psychology and my own teachings. Today on the podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on how I built Content Lab, our new AI-powered platform that: • Breaks down the deep psychology triggers your audience craves • Researches top-performing hooks in your exact niche • Turns your unique wisdom into scroll-stopping videos, reels & carousels • Keeps every script and prompt in your real voice (AI doesn't take over—you do) • Helped me get 68k views on my first five Content Lab–powered videos If you've ever wondered what to post, why your content isn't clicking, or how to scale a real audience (not just influencers), this episode is for you.

Why I stopped selling my flagship messaging programs

Yes, you read that title correctly. I stopped selling my flagship messaging programs. And no, they're not gone forever—I just hit pause. After a tough divorce and burnout from answering the same questions week after week, I realized something huge: the market shifted, AI exploded, and my passion took me in a new direction. Instead of forcing myself to talk about funnels and webinars nonstop, I leaned into what lights me up now—the psychology of content and how AI can supercharge it. That's why we built Content Lab, a new monthly program that blends your unique voice, proven frameworks, and cutting-edge AI to help you go viral with authentic content. Today on the podcast, I'm sharing the full backstory on why I hit the brakes and what it means for you, plus a deep dive into our next chapter. Listen in and discover: • The clear signs it's time to stop selling and evolve your offers • How AI exposed the future of messaging—and why results still come down to psychology • Why I traded big programs for a lean, high-impact Content Lab model • How Content Lab's "brain + bots" approach researches, drafts, and refines your viral hooks • How to jump into our free May 12 webinar and get early access at brandonlucero.com/AI If you've ever felt stuck selling the same thing or wondered how to stand out in today's AI-filled world, this episode is for you. Plus, I'll break down exactly how Content Lab works and why I'm more excited about this than anything I've built before.

The Unpopular Truth About AI and Your Messaging (From Someone Who Built an AI Messaging Bot)

We're living in an AI gold rush: some entrepreneurs worship it, while others call it a fad. Which camp are you in?
