ADVICE

Position Before You Build

Define your market position and avatar before writing copy or building funnels.
Without clear positioning and a unique selling proposition, even great copy and tech will fail.

INSIGHT

Design Beats Copy For First Impressions

Aesthetics now drive first impressions online and often decide whether users read copy.
Bad design repels customers within milliseconds, so visuals are now more important than words.

INSIGHT

AI Widens The Wealth Gap

Replacing salaried workers with AI yields enormous output gains for big tech.
That shift creates huge wealth for owners while threatening the middle class's jobs and wages.

"We're about to enter the most opulent era in human history... but only if you survive the shift."

What if the AI boom isn’t about innovation—but about wiping out the middle class? In this bombshell episode of Dropping Bombs, I sit down with Perry Belcher—marketing legend, co-founder of DigitalMarketer and Traffic & Conversion Summit, nicknamed “The Billion Dollar Man” for generating billions in sales.

Perry drops hard truths about the AI apocalypse barreling toward us: how Microsoft, Amazon, and OpenAI are slashing $150K jobs for million-dollar machines, and why it’s creating an opulent era for the rich while erasing everyone else. Drawing chilling parallels to historical slavery for economic dominance, he exposes how Big Tech is engineering control—not opportunity.

But here’s the twist—you can survive the shift. Perry breaks down insider hacks on branding, aesthetics over copy, and pressure prompting AI so you outsmart the system instead of being crushed by it. From his $750M Bezos regret to why design trumps everything in 2025, this is the raw playbook for anyone who refuses to get left behind.
