ANECDOTE

Jingle And Guitar Intro

Fonzi opens with a homemade jingle and mentions learning guitar from his friend Dan.
He uses the playful intro to illustrate making content and having fun while improving.

INSIGHT

Data Is Your Secret Weapon

Analyzing content data is the underrated skill that answers why things worked or failed.
Reading feedback lets you stop spraying and praying and make targeted improvements.

INSIGHT

Prioritize Asymmetrical Effort

Asymmetrical effort means put most time where it moves the needle, usually the front of the video.
Spending 80% of effort on hooks improves retention far more than polishing minute seven.

Hey Fam! Today I’m talking about a skill that most people skip... and that’s a BIG mistake.

This is Fonzi BTW hijacking the show 😉 (shhh don't tell LuisDa)

It’s not storytelling. It’s not hooks. It’s not editing. It’s the thing that tells you EXACTLY what to fix to grow faster with content. No more guessing. Just real answers.

I’ll help you see what works and what doesn’t. You’ll learn where to focus, so you can stop wasting time and make your content really pay off.

You’ll learn:

How to know if your hook sucks (and what that looks like)
The biggest reason people stop watching your videos (hint: it’s in the middle)
Why your CTA might be scaring people off
The tool that shows you what to fix first
One thing to look at that tells you what skill to work on next

Not gonna lie… most people ignore this stuff. But once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Let’s dive in.
