If your services relate to problem-solving, I'm willing to bet that few people will call you for an appointment until they've experienced a sharp defining moment. Psychologists call these experiences "crystallizing moments" as things come together clearly.

We often think of "last-straw moments" as pretty extreme, such as the person who wakes up in jail with no memory of how he got there. But game-changing moments feel huge to the client, not necessarily to anyone else.

These last-straw moments are also called "crystallizing moments." A lot of things come together and your client realizes, "Something has GOT to change, right now." That's usually when they call you.

In this short episode, you'll get several examples of these "last straw" moments with tips on how to incorporate them into your content creation.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills

As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
