Local PT's YouTube Turnaround
- Nathan shares Jake Berman's three-year struggle: 500 videos with little traction until implementing Think Media's system.
- After hands-on coaching and changing strategy, Jake began getting overperforming videos, thousands of leads, and his first automated sale.

- Do invest extra effort into title and thumbnail iterations so viewers expend less effort to click.
- Write multiple title options and use AI or teammates to craft highly clickable language.
