Every expert I know is creating more content than ever…
But they’re seeing less traction.

Why?
Because helpful content alone doesn’t build trust anymore.

Let me explain.

🎯 The Content Scramble (and what it’s costing you)

When I was nine, every Saturday morning in the winter I’d ride my bike to hockey practice—skates on, (rubber guards on the blades) stick in hand—fired up to get on the ice.

But when we hit the rink?
It was chaos.
A full-on puck scramble.

Every kid chasing the puck.
No passing. No strategy. No scoring.

That’s exactly what content marketing looks like right now.

Everyone’s posting constantly.
Chasing the same hooks.
Repeating the same tips they saw in a trending Reel.

And the result?
No one’s breaking away.
No one’s building trust.
No one’s scoring.

Even brilliant experts—people with life-changing insight—end up sounding like everyone else.

So if it feels like your content isn’t doing anything, you’re not alone.
But you are likely defaulting to the #1 trap:

Being helpful…
But forgettable.

(btw – This episode starts with clips from an old 8mm home movie showing what that puck scramble looked like:) 👇

💡 What to do instead

In this 3rd episode on my new series on Ditching the Content Machine, I lay out 4 trust-building moves expert brands use to rise above the noise:

✅ Bust the myths no one else will touch
✅ Share a belief or point of view that takes a stand
✅ Create connection by showing you see your people
✅ Reframe the conversation instead of just answering the question

And yes, I’ve got real examples from past guests Andrea Merrill, Scott Wozniak, and Rich Brooks to show you how this plays out in the real world.
