The reason your videos aren't bringing clients Aug 26, 2026

You were told to be consistent with your marketing and video content and the clients would come. You have been consistent. But the clients...not so much.

Here is the uncomfortable truth I have watched play out for a lot of good coaches: the problem usually is not consistency, and it's your confi...

The bit about my job I don't usually admit Aug 19, 2026

Here's something I don't say very often.

I coach people to speak on camera for a living. Live training, client work, webinars, all fine. But the second I record for my own channel, as me, I still sometimes freeze.

This week I finally explain why, and it goes back to a childhood stammer and the ...

I coach camera confidence. I hadn't posted in three months. Aug 11, 2026

I coach people to feel more confident on camera. And until this week, I hadn't posted a video to my own channel in three months.

Not a YouTube upload, not a blog video, nothing for the newsletter. Three months of quiet, from someone whose whole job is helping people show up and be seen. I want t...

Why You Can't Watch Yourself Back Aug 04, 2026

You film something you're actually quite pleased with. Then you watch it back, and within about four seconds you've winced, reached for the delete button, and quietly filed yourself under "not a natural on camera."

If that's you, I want to tell you something that took me years to understand. That f...

You Fixed The Openning. Now The Middle's Leaking Viewers Jul 28, 2026

Last week I wrote about the first fifteen seconds of a coach's video, and how most of us waste them apologising, warming up, or explaining what we're about to explain. The fix was simple: start with the first sentence you'd actually say if a client had just asked you the question, and delete everyth...

The One Thing I'd Change First in Almost Every Coach's Video Jul 22, 2026

When a coach sends me a video and asks what they should work on, they usually expect me to say something about the lighting. Or the microphone. Or the editing. Occasionally someone braces themselves for a comment about their voice.

It's almost never any of those things.

It's the opening.

More pre...

The Real Reason Capable Experts Still Freeze On Camera Jul 14, 2026

Here's something I see constantly with coaches and experts who come to me for help: they are brilliant in the room. Ask them a question and they'll give you a clear, generous, considered answer. Put them in front of a client and they light up. But put a camera in front of them, and something changes...

The re-entry trap, and what silence taught me Jul 09, 2026

It's been almost five weeks since my last post.

If you've followed me for a while, you'll know that's unusual. Consistency is something I talk about a lot, especially with the coaches and experts I work with on camera confidence. So let me be honest with you: the last few weeks got busy. I've been ...

Why I've Been on Kajabi for 10 Years May 28, 2026

There's a question I get asked a lot.

"Mike, with so many platforms out there, why are you still on Kajabi?"

It's a fair question. The online business landscape has changed almost beyond recognition since I first started building my coaching and training business online. New tools, new platform...

Kajabi's Biggest Update + A Deal That Disappears 2nd June May 26, 2026

I've been on Kajabi since 2016. I've seen a lot of updates come and go. But what they've just done? I genuinely haven't seen anything like it.

I've just published a new YouTube video walking you through five brand new Kajabi products — all launching within a single 16-day window — and a discount...

I've Been on Kajabi Since 2016. This Is Different. May 22, 2026

 

I've Been on Kajabi Since 2016. This Is the Most Excited I've Been.

A few months ago, Kajabi asked me to test drive something new before it launched publicly.

I said yes. And after spending time with it, I've been quietly looking forward to being able to talk about it.

This week, I finally ca...

Backstage Solves One of The Biggest Problems for Coaches May 21, 2026

If you do any kind of one-to-one coaching, you'll know the problem immediately.

You're delivering a premium experience — but it's scattered across half a dozen places. Zoom for sessions. Voxer for voice notes. Notion for resources and homework. Email for everything else. Your client is logging into...
