YouTube as the Deep Time-on-Brand Platform

The 10 Minute Personal Brand Kickstart (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/personalbrandkickstart

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Sabri Suby. He's a serial entrepreneur, Shark Tank investor, and founder of King Kong, the digital agency that’s generated over $7.8 billion in sales for clients.

In this ep, Sabri breaks down the psychology behind brands people obsess over: why scarcity and friction actually make your product more desirable, why the first sale should start a relationship (not end it), and how premium positioning attracts better clients with less stress. We dive into cult-like brand building, the mistakes that keep most businesses broke, and how to craft offers so powerful that customers beg to pay you.

If you want to stop selling like everyone else, learn the blueprint luxury brands use to command premium pricing, and build a brand that customers line up for, this episode is your exact playbook.
