Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), and my business partner Chris Koerner (https://x.com/mhp_guy) as we explore the legacy of Frank Kern, the "OG" internet marketing guru. We break down his 8-step sales framework, from creating scarcity to overwhelming with value, and discuss how these strategies remain essential in the AI era. We also talk about the art of reverse-engineering marketing funnels, borrowing proven strategies, and adapting them for success. Plus, we explore two AI investment strategies - short-term "cigarette butt" opportunities vs. long-term, human-centered business models - and how trends like rebundling show how "what’s old becomes new again."
Questions This Episode Answers:
- What are Frank Kern’s key steps for selling anything?
- How can you reverse-engineer successful funnels for your business?
- What marketing insights can we learn from pioneers like Gary Halbert and Claude Hopkins?
- How can businesses prioritize human connection in the age of AI?
- What opportunities arise from the cyclical nature of business trends?
Enjoy the conversation!
