What if the old rules of marketing are already dead?
In this episode, Sean sits down with Jason Fladlien — known by many as the webinar king — to break down what actually works in business right now. Jason explains why followers matter less than ever, why content is now one of the most valuable assets in the world, and how the best businesses today win by combining usefulness with attention.
They get into the real reason people struggle to grow online, why trust is changing in the digital economy, what separates low-ticket from high-ticket offers, and why the biggest AI opportunity may not even exist yet. Jason also shares lessons from building massive launches, consulting top entrepreneurs, and learning how to spot trends before the rest of the market catches on.
The conversation also goes deeper than business. Jason opens up about anxiety, phone addiction, grief, discipline, meditation, and how cutting digital distractions changed his creativity and focus.
If you want to build a business, grow a brand, understand modern marketing, or think bigger about where content and AI are headed, this episode is packed with value.
