#412: How YouTube & Podcasting Are Driving Leads in 2025 with Brady Edwards

If your content isn’t bold, it’s invisible. Brady Edwards went from selling pest control to the Video Director for YouTube’s biggest creator, MrBeast. Now he’s helping business owners rethink how they create content that scales trust, drives attention, and builds brand authority. In this episode of Behind Gym Doors, Brady breaks down the exact mindset, strategies, storytelling structure he used to grow massive online audiences and how gym owners can apply the same methods to dominate their local market. This isn’t about likes. It’s about leveraging content as a sales tool that works 24/7.

You’ll learn why short-form posts aren’t enough, how to build “one-sided best friendships” with future members, and how podcasting and YouTube unlock long-term visibility in a world driven by AI search and behavior tracking. If you run a gym or studio and want more of the right members, this episode will change how you think about marketing forever.
