Do you want my help scaling and systematizing your business? Book a free 10-minute Systems Audit call here: https://fos.now/yt-apply-543


In this video, I reveal how I grew to nearly 1 million Instagram followers without spending a single dollar on ads. While everyone else was chasing the algorithm and posting 10 times a day, I built a system that makes content creation sustainable and exponentially effective.


I break down the complete Instagram flywheel across three core systems: exponential content creation through the Content Waterfall System, strategic design templates that never change, and funnel automation that converts followers into customers.


You’ll see how one pillar piece of content becomes 20+ posts across platforms, generating millions of views without the burnout.


Learn my 4-hour weekly content system that creates a month’s worth of posts, the exact carousel formats driving 9 million+ views, and how to use ManyChat automations to turn engagement into revenue.

Get The Founder Flow System: https://fos.now/yt-gd-discover-my-deep-work-routine

Want to SCALE your business and audience? Go here: https://fos.now/yt-apply-540


In this video, I break down my complete deep work routine that lets me get more done in 4 hours than most people get done in 4 days - the exact system that runs my empire in just 20 hours per week.


I’ll take you through the entire routine hour by hour - from my 5 PM planning session and personal board meeting, to my abundance of 15-minute and 4-hour deep work sessions, to the weird tricks like salt for brain fog and how I gamify my work to stay locked in.


This isn’t about waking up at 4 AM for cold plunges. This is about systematic deep work that creates leverage, not just output.
