Send us a text I used to overcomplicate my sales frameworks—five steps, ten categories, a dozen mental models. But I’ve realized something: the best-performing material follows the same principle as structural engineering—the triangle is stronger than the pentagon. Simpler frameworks are easier to remember, easier to teach, and more effective in high-stakes environments like the C-suite.

#34: No One Gives a F*ck… Until They Do
Send us a text Yesterday, I fell prey to my own small-mindedness. I had prepared a song over the last two weeks to perform live. And it didn’t go as planned. The response wasn’t what I was anticipating, and I had a brief foray with my inner bitch—Poopy Pants made an appearance. That voice told me: “No one cares.” “You suck.” “What’s the point?” Today, I took a look at the whole thing and reminded myself: stop giving a fuck about how things are received. If you know what you’...

#33: Getting Ideas Out of Your Head and Organizing Them
Send us a text The Idea Canvas is a Google Doc I keep bookmarked on my browser. Its sole purpose is to capture ideas in their raw, first form. I have a few rules for how I use it—for example, by the end of each session, I make sure the page is blank again. It’s not meant to store anything long-term; it’s just a tool to get ideas out of my head and onto the page. Once an idea is captured, I move it to its proper place within the hierarchy of my business. That, or kill it comp...

#32: The Slippery Slope: Why One Missed Goal Doesn’t Erase Progress
Send us a text In this episode, I’m tackling something that hits close to home—what happens when you set a big goal, miss the mark, and how to avoid falling into a slippery slope. Over the weekend, I skipped recording a podcast because I chose to hang out with my parents. That temporary “defeat” made me rethink how I structure my production systems. I realized that it’s not about recording every day—it’s about having content ready to publish consistently. I’m also drawing parallels between th...

#31: Strategic Marketing & Building 1+1=11 Relationships
Send us a text In this episode, I’m talking about strategic marketing and building relationships with people who have pull, influence, and the ability to put you in front of an audience you can’t reach on your own. But here’s the twist—it’s not about chasing connections or pushing offers. It’s about aligning with people whose work you genuinely admire and finding ways to create a 1+1=11 dynamic where both sides win.

#30: Make it Beautiful
Send us a text Hey, this is Colin Campbell, and I want to share something simple but powerful: you can take all the negativity—sadness, shame, guilt, fear, anger—and transform it into something meaningful. I’ve been working on a song called Make It Beautiful, and the first lines hit hard: “I can't escape this pain I feel. So make it beautiful. The meaninglessness is so real. So make it beautiful.” The Truth About Emotions and Creation It’s easy to feel disconnected when life throws curveball...

#29: Stop Hiding Behind the Passive Voice: Why Clarity Converts
Send us a text Let’s talk about one of the biggest trust-killers in business writing: the passive voice. You’ve seen it. You’ve probably used it. Heck, we all have. When you say things like “A decision was made” or “The project was delayed,” you’re leaving the reader wondering: By who? Why? What happened? It’s like watching a movie with invisible characters. You lose the thread. You lose the punch. And most importantly—you lose authority. In this episode, I share why passive voice is such a s...

#28: The Delete Key is Your Friend
Send us a text In this episode, I talk about one of the most powerful tools you can use to improve your writing—and it's sitting right on your keyboard: the delete key. I walk you through my own process of trimming back a story about Robert Rodriguez, wrestling with a weird red hat analogy, and working live with a client to cut entire paragraphs—all in service of making the message cleaner, stronger, and more focused. If you're writing a book to generate leads or grow your authority, learning...

#27: Colin Campbell's "ACT" Marketing Model: Attract, Compel, Transform
Send us a text In this episode of Books That Get Leads, I break down a three-part marketing model that I’ve refined over years of consulting and building client-generating books. I call it ACT: Attract, Compel, Transform. This isn’t just a clever acronym—it’s a lifelong framework. I explain why it's built to outlast any tech trend, how it guides everything from your lead generation to your fulfillment, and why the transformation you deliver is just as important as the lead you attract.

#26: What Steven Pressfield Can Teach Us About Structuring Nonfiction That Hits Hard
Send us a text I’ve been a huge fan of Steven Pressfield for years—The War of Art changed a lot of my mindset in authoring for me. But beyond the ideas themselves, there’s something deeper at work: the structure of his books. In this episode, I break down how Pressfield organizes his nonfiction to keep it clean, powerful, and insanely readable. I’ll walk you through how he uses short, focused chapters—each one delivering a single punch—and why his three-part structure works so well for commun...

#25: Letting Go of Entitlement: What Codependency Taught Me About Writing Books That Work
Send us a text In this episode, I dive into a theme I’ve been wrestling with: the quiet codependency that sneaks into the author mindset. Whether you're writing a book, launching a funnel, or just trying to make a dent in the world with your creative work, there’s a common trap: expecting a certain outcome... and suffering when it doesn't come. I reflect on insights from Codependent No More by Melody Beattie and how they apply directly to authorship, marketing, and even spiritual growth. This...

You know, those little prefixes and suffixes that get slapped onto words and suddenly change everything? Politicians, lawyers, and marketers have mastered the art of twisting language with these subtle additions—sometimes to create loopholes, sometimes to obscure the truth. In this episode, I break down how affixes add unnecessary complexity, why they make contracts and legal...

Hand-copying great direct response ads. No fluff, no $5 words—just clean, effective writing that keeps your reader engaged. Because at the end of the day, writing is telepathy. You want the image in your head to land clearly in theirs. If that sounds like something you need, stick around. I keep these episodes sho...
