181: Convert Instagram Followers into Paying Customers with Brock Johnson - 7FL
Jun 19, 202501:02:28Tap to summarizeWhat if the reason your Instagram isn’t growing isn’t the algorithm, but your strategy? Brock Johnson has helped over 50,000 entrepreneurs grow on Instagram, and in this episode, he breaks down why most people struggle to make progress. It’s not about chasing the latest reel trend or stressing over every update—it’s about focusing on what actually drives growth and conversions. We dig into the three-step growth formula that works across all platforms, why DMs are Instagram’s most powerful (and underused) sales tool, and how to use “trial reels” to test content without spamming your audience. Brock also shares why follower count is becoming less important and what the shift toward AI and short-form video means for the future of social media. If you’re a business owner who’s tired of burning time and energy on social with no results, this episode will give you the blueprint for building an audience that actually buys.

Jun 5, 202501:10:07Tap to summarizeToo many companies treat their core values like wall art – nice to look at, easy to ignore. In this episode, Brad sits down with Robert Glazer to explore how to make core values real in the day-to-day, not just on paper. Robert is the founder of Acceleration Partners, a global affiliate marketing agency he scaled to multi-eight figures with a fully remote team of 300+ people across 40 countries. He brought on a private equity firm, took some money off the table, and now serves as chairman of the board. He’s also a bestselling author and a recognized expert in values-based leadership and company culture. In this conversation, Robert shares why values should guide every decision – from who you hire and fire to how you handle a million-dollar client who crosses the line. (Spoiler: he let the client go.) He also breaks down his Open Transition Program, an alternative to the two-week notice that prioritizes transparency and dignity on the way out, not just on the way in. From there, the conversation moves into the evolution of affiliate marketing, the structure behind high-performing remote teams, and how to grow under private equity without losing what matters. If you care about scaling with integrity, this one’s worth your time. Tune in now! — This episode is part of the 8FE (8-figure entrepreneur) series, where we talk to entrepreneurs who have already passed the million-dollar mark. — Key Takeaways: 00:00:00 Intro 00:03:01 Making company values actionable beyond just wall art 00:09:56 Embedding values into hiring, firing, and promotion systems 00:21:14 Turning down a $1M client for violating core values 00:24:58 Remote work demands freedom paired with accountability 00:31:09 Team dynamics in remote settings 00:40:50 Open Transition Program as an alternative to a two-week notice 00:45:58 Capacity Building framework (spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional) 00:49:27 Challenges in affiliate marketing 00:59:15 Navigating private equity deals with a long-term mindset 01:09:05 Outro — Additional Resources: 🔹 Robert’s Website: robertglazer.com 🔹 Robert’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertglazer_/?hl=en ➡️ Learn more at: https://beyondamillion.com/ ➡️ Watch full episodes here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5hbIUyUb68J3nhHSAGDrmUxX4vgXQ4b8 ➡️ Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Beyondamillion?sub_confirmation=1 Let's Connect: 🔹 IG: https://www.instagram.com/bradweimert 🔹 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@beyondamil 🔹Twitter: https://twitter.com/BradWeimert 🔹 FB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100089061999787 — Beyond A Million is a business podcast that reveals the scaling secrets of 8, 9, and 10-figure entrepreneurs.
