32 minutes Posted Jan 30, 2026 at 10:00 am.
In this episode, we break down why "where you publish" matters just as much as "what you say." We explore the three types of channels your content can live on: intent, discovery, and relationship. Each one shapes how potential buyers engage with your message.Learn why intent channels (Google, AI search, directories) often lead to cold prospects who are early in their buying journey and unconditioned to your way of thinking. We also discuss how discovery channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts) help the right people find your point of view and start aligning with your approach.Finally, we cover the long-term value of relationship channels (podcasts and newsletters), where the real ROI comes from building connections and staying top-of-mind. Plus, we explore how premise development shapes the type of audience you attract, and why evolving your premise is key to shifting from low-ticket education to a higher-ticket, maturity-driven business model.
