If your copy sounds like everyone else, it is costing you clients and you will never see it on a spreadsheet.

In this episode, Ryan Lang talks with Mike Samuels, Empire Partners' head copywriter and one of the most respected voices in direct response and personal brand copy. Together, they dig into the one thing most business owners and coaches are getting dangerously wrong: outsourcing their voice entirely to AI and wondering why nothing is converting.

From the trust recession and the pratfall effect to the difference between an expert and a true authority, this conversation is a masterclass in what actually makes copy land and what quietly kills it. If you are building a personal brand, this is the episode you did not know you needed.
