Ten years can change everything if you choose what to measure and keep showing up. We took a page from MrBeast’s 10-year time-capsule lesson and set a public target: grow our YouTube channel from 452 to 1,000 subscribers before Christmas. That single, visible metric forces clarity—on what to make, how to package it, where to distribute it, and which activities actually move the needle.
We break down the plan with zero fluff. First, guests as reach multipliers: not for vanity, but for distribution and fresh storylines that create shareable assets. Then we talk content packaging—the hook, thumbnail, first ten seconds, and copy—because attention is earned before value is delivered. We expand the platform map to include LinkedIn for business-first discovery, and we pressure test a higher-volume cadence with shorter, focused episodes to increase surface area for serendipity.
From there, we get tactical on paid reach and sponsorships—turning a cost center into a growth loop by underwriting targeted promotion of proven clips. We add light structure so the show stays lively but intentional: planned CTAs, clear segments, and prepped research that makes conversations sharper. Finally, we commit to a weekly audit of what topics and formats convert views into subscribers, and we bias future episodes toward those patterns.
If you’re pushing toward a year-end goal—revenue, profit, health, time with family—this framework applies. Pick one number. Design the smallest daily activities that move only that number. Track, test, iterate, and keep going when it’s boring. And if you’ve ever learned something here, help us close the gap: hit subscribe on YouTube today and share the channel with one friend who’ll enjoy it. Your click accelerates the mission. Subscribe, leave a review, and tell us the one metric you’ll crush by year-end—we’ll cheer you on next week.

George (00:00):
Welcome back, everyone, to Million Dollar Days.
My name is George Passas.
And I am Robbie Treker.
Better known as Top George andMr.
Roberts.
That's right.
Uh every week we bring youheaps of content, heaps of
value, and we talk business,strategy, mindset, lifestyle,
everything that it means to bein that space.
(00:20):
As a man, as a woman, whateveryou are, that's where we live
and what we love doing.
We do this every single week.
Haven't missed a week since westarted the podcast.
Consistency.
Yeah?
Consistency is something thatis incredibly important in
business and life.
It's not often that you get aone-hit wonder.
(00:42):
Does happen.
Does happen.
Robby (00:45):
It wouldn't be called a wonder if it happened often.
George (00:47):
No, that's right.
And I saw a video the otherday, and I know you've seen it
too.
The other day, when I say itwas yesterday, I watched it in
its entirety.
And it was of Mr.
Beast.
He put up a video for those ofyou that haven't seen it, go
onto his YouTube channel andhave a look at it.
He put up a video 10 years ago,or he made a video 10 years
ago, and he scheduled it to beposted in 10 years' time on
(01:10):
YouTube.
So he would automatically putit in there, put the future
date, comes out on this day.
And he was young, he was 17years old.
He was sitting in his bedroomwith a pretty poor quality
camera and just talking to thescreen.
So I go, Oh, I wonder whereI'll be in 10 years' time.
He goes, I love YouTube.
I love what it's about.
I love creating videos andcontent.
He goes, at the moment, I'vegot, and he showed it on his
(01:32):
channel.
He goes, I've got about 8,500followers.
This is Mr.
Beast, yeah?
Eight and a half thousandfollowers.
And he goes, I've got about 1.2million views on my videos from
those since I've been posting.
And fast forward 10 years, he'slike, I wonder where you'll be
in 10 years' time.
He goes, I hope you have amillion followers.
(01:53):
He goes, Man, that'll beamazing.
Imagine having a millionfollowers.
Like his mind was blown at thatidea and that concept.
And you fast forward to 10 to10 years in the future, and he's
got multiple channels withhundreds of millions of
followers across each of thosechannels.
And I just I actually looked atthat in a bit of admiration,
(02:17):
but also just like, well done,man.
Like so good.
So good.
A kid, 17-year-old kid, no oneknew his name 10 years ago.
And 10 years goes like that.
Most of you listening to thisright now have been doing
something, whether it's yourprofession for 10 years or your
business for 10 years, you'vebeen doing something for a
considerable amount of time.
(02:38):
You've been eating for 10years.
And eating for 10 years?
How come you don't have thebest body ever?
And it almost actually inspiredme to do a similar video.
Do one like exactly that.
Say, hey, I'm I'm 41.
I'm over the hill.
10 years' time will be 51.
Now that I reckon 50.
If you say you're in your 50s,I feel that that's old.
(02:58):
At the moment, I don't feelold.
I don't think it's when someonesays to me they're 40, I go,
Oh, you're young.
How funny, right?
And I've think I've said thison stage before.
It's like, if you tell someoneyou're going back to uni at 40
years old, like, fuck, 40,you're going back to uni now,
you're old.
Like, what are you doing?
You'll be 45 by the time you'redone.
But then if you go and sayanother story, hey, this this
(03:21):
guy died the other day, he was40 years old.
It's like, fuck, that's young.
It's interesting looking atthat different perspective on
things.
Robby (03:28):
Yeah, I guess it's relative to the task.
George (03:31):
Yeah.
Robby (03:33):
True.
George (03:34):
But still, but it's also, man, you're still young.
Like you can do anything youwant at any age.
It's just a number.
Like, I get the cliche.
It's just a number, man.
You can go and do stuff.
In 10 years' time, like my lifecould be drastically different.
Our lives could be drasticallydifferent.
Imagine if I'm going to do avideo now in 10 years' time.
We're doing this podcast for 10years fucking straight.
And I sit there and say, youknow what?
(03:55):
I hope we have 50,000 followersin 10 years' time.
That'd be amazing on thepodcast.
We've got 50,000 subscribers.
And then you fast forward 10years' time, every single week,
delivering this podcast, doingthis thing, having talks with
different people, amazingpeople.
I wonder, I hope I get someone,you know, really influential
and famous on the podcast.
That'd be cool.
(04:16):
And then before you know it,anyone that ever, and we fast
forward to 10 years, and anyonethat comes to Australia is has
already pre-booked a show.
I'm talking famous,influential.
We interview presidents andeveryone to debate, whoever it
is.
Imagine that.
You don't know what thefuture's gonna bring, but if you
don't give it a crack, it won'tbring you fucking anything.
(04:37):
Do you feel that there's powerand consistency?
Robby (04:43):
Yeah, but I also so to play devil's advocate here, I
also feel like there's theelement of like, you know, if
you keep banging your head on awall, you're not gonna make a
million dollars.
Yeah.
Flogging a dead horse.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
So there's that side of thecoin as well.
George (04:58):
So I think you need to check in and what do you think
that and how do you know whenthat's when you're at that
point?
What do you need to be lookingat?
Robby (05:04):
I think you just you gotta have some markers, some
things you can measure.
George (05:08):
Yep.
Do you think there's a level ofself-awareness?
Like, are you good enough to doit?
Robby (05:15):
I reckon most people are good enough to do most things.
George (05:18):
Yeah, but I'm not playing in the NBA anytime soon.
I can shoot a three.
Robby (05:23):
Yeah.
George (05:24):
And I'll never will play in the NBA.
Robby (05:26):
Yeah, but when was the last time you shot a basketball?
How many shots have you takenon?
Uh Saturday.
Yeah, how many shots have youtaken this year?
George (05:32):
This year?
Seventeen.
Seventeen plus the yeah.
Robby (05:38):
Um, that's probably why.
Yeah.
But I'm sure if you got up andyou took 7,000 shots every day.
George (05:43):
Yeah, there'd be a definite element of improvement.
Maybe the first 40 years.
Robby (05:46):
Because also there is not everyone's gonna be able to do
everything.
Yeah.
Yes.
Like you know what I mean?
We're probably not gonna playin the NBA.
Yeah.
Most likely.
I haven't ruled it out yet.
Um still got time.
But yeah, I think and for somepeople I think that awareness
thing would be like, are yougood at what you do?
George (06:07):
Yeah.
Robby (06:09):
You know what I mean?
Are you are you playing theright game?
Do you think you're good atwhat you do in your profession?
Do I think I am?
Yes I do.
George (06:21):
Yeah, me too.
I often actually say it.
I actually say I'm the best atwhat I do.
I think you need to believethat though.
I agree.
It's not to say I am the best.
You know, in matter of fact, Ireckon there are people out
there that are better than me.
Or that are doing more than meas well, which is very
frustrating in my face, in myeyes, and I know it is with you
too.
So I'll look at anotherbuilding company, for example,
(06:42):
or another builder or businessowner, whatever it is, and
they're out there crushing it.
It's like, well, why?
I'm just I'm just as good, I'mjust as knowledgeable, I'm
probably better, but they're outthere killing it, making tens
and hundreds of millions ofdollars.
It's like, well, what's what'swhere's the gap?
Where's that missing piece?
Why are we not at that level?
(07:03):
What are we doing wrong?
So I often look at that aspecttoo and go, well, what element
needs to change?
Robby (07:12):
Yeah, I I think this is how I see it with that.
It's like, okay, look look atthe subscribers thing.
You talk about subscribers andMr.
Beast.
And the way I see it is like,okay, if that's your point of
measurement, do the activitythat drives that one number.
If you're measuring yourbusiness by revenue, like do the
(07:37):
activity that drives that onenumber.
Do you know what I mean?
If you're measuring it onprofit, do the activity that
drives that one digit.
Like drive that single thing.
I think I said it last time.
I was like, you can know yournumbers really well.
Doesn't mean you're gonna turnover more.
You can be all over like youreverything, like have it down to
(07:57):
the T.
And then it does not mean thatyou're gonna do more revenue.
You want to do more revenue, domore sales.
You want more subscribers,create more of the type of
content that gets you moresubscribers.
George (08:08):
Correct.
There's no point us talkingabout uh whatever flowers.
Robby (08:12):
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Or being like, we're gonna addthis segment to the to the
podcast.
And it's like, well, how do youknow your segments are the
reason that people subscribe tothe show?
Maybe it's your shorts.
Maybe it's actually the clips.
You know how many people aresaying they see the clips more
than anything else?
Um and then it's like, okay,cool, well, maybe it's the way
(08:33):
we're clipping stuff, and weneed to clip stuff better and
put out more.
You know what I mean?
And then it's like maybethere's that element.
Maybe there is the it's like,what's the thing that's gonna
drive the number you want todrive?
You know, if the goal was toget this to you say 50,000?
Yeah, just 50,000 subscribers,50k.
(08:53):
If the goal is to get it to50k, what's the thing that's
gonna drive us closer to that50k every single day, week,
month?
Yeah, you know what I mean, andjust do that.
Like a soul.
George (09:06):
So okay, you say that.
How do you find that?
How do you find what that focusis?
Because tell me, but correct meif I'm wrong, you would like
50,000 followers right now,subscribers to this channel?
Yeah.
So would I.
Okay, so what's that drivingfactor right now?
So because people can say,yeah, okay, I want that, I want
to concentrate on that.
How do they find what thatdriving factor is to get to that
target they're trying to hit?
(09:27):
Well, what are you measuring?
Let's just say for let's useour example right now.
Okay, we want to get it.
You could could it be a shoutout, like right now?
What do you mean?
Like right this second, I couldask people to stop what they're
doing, pull over if you'redriving, sit down if you're
walking, uh, get out of theshower if you're showering, and
press the red button andsubscribe.
(09:47):
Yes.
We could do that, and thatcould probably get us to 50,000
followers.
Robby (09:51):
That's one element.
I think uh Diary of a CEO doesthat really well.
So he starts off every singleepisode by telling people and he
does it differently every time.
Like so he's obviously tryingto pattern interrupt and he
starts off every single episodetalking about how what did he
say?
It baffles me that you know somany people listen to this
podcast.
But everyone that listens tothis, only 40% of you are
(10:11):
subscribed.
He's like, I've had peoplecomment before saying that they
didn't notice they weren'tsubscribed because they
constantly see it because thealgorithm shows you every single
new episode.
But if you could just take amoment right now and check and
please see if you aren'tsubscribed, subscribe now
because it really helps us growthe channel.
And if you do that, my promiseto you is we'll continue to
deliver and blah blah blah blahblah.
George (10:30):
Yeah, and that's that's a great promise.
And I feel that that's a levelof genuine um of genuine
genuinity, that word of beinggenuine.
And he's like saying, Yeah,yeah, that's right.
And they they will continue tolike I've seen plenty of his
episodes, and they've providedheaps of value.
And I've followed new peoplethat I never knew existed
because I saw them on hischannel.
(10:51):
So yeah, without a doubt.
Yeah.
But so back to the question: what do we need to do now, aside (10:54):
undefined
from just giving that shout outright now?
Where's that element?
I want to we want to grow thisnow to 50,000 followers.
Let's just say that's our nexttarget.
Our next target is 50,000followers.
What do we need to do?
Robby (11:08):
Okay, so we've got we've got hundreds of people
subscribed to the podcastseparately, and then we've got
close to 500 subscribed onYouTube as well.
Okay, great.
Okay, most of the people listenthrough Spotify, by the way.
Yeah.
Um, this is what I would do.
Now, obviously, this is whilstthis is important to us and and
we do a lot for it, it'sdefinitely not number one on
(11:31):
either of our priority list.
George (11:33):
Oh, without a doubt.
In the sense of it, there'stimes where this is how it is.
Yeah, there is a time when thisis a uh a task, it's a chore.
You know, when you can be like,fuck, I've got so much to do
right now.
And like we've got an eventthis week.
I've got a three-day event thatI'm hold holding this week.
And I messaged you yesterdaysays, hey, Monday, Tuesday is my
only day to do a podcast.
And you know what?
(11:53):
Let's pretend, let's go backthough.
Had we not done it today,yesterday, or today, I would
have come in out of hours to doa podcast with you.
Yeah.
If I had to, because that's thelevel of commitment that I've
got to this.
Yeah, uh, we just got a ninegame podcast.
That's right.
We've done it on a weekend aswell.
We both had nothing on, andwe're like, hey, do you want to
just come and do a podcast?
Yeah, fucking oath, let's doit.
So and don't get me wrong,guys, like this this that this
(12:17):
isn't a chore.
I don't say that I'm not sayingthat this podcast is a chore,
I'm saying it's times where itcan feel like that, but just
like anything can in yourbusiness.
There's times where you have toprocess payroll, it's a fucking
chore, but you've got to do it.
Um, yeah, this is an enjoyableaspect, and this is a great
brand building exercise for usas well.
(12:38):
So, yeah, aside from the actualmillion dollar days brand
itself, having the followers,this has also helped us within
our ecosystem of building brand,our personal brand.
Like that's I think assistedgreatly as far as providing
expertise, as far as uh being anindustry leader in our spaces.
I think that's helped us great.
Yeah, it really positively inin that space.
(13:00):
But again, back to thequestion.
Robby (13:02):
Yeah, so uh and I shared that because I will tell I will
say what I will do.
Yeah.
And I'll also let you know thatthere's a good chance that I'm
not gonna do it.
In what way?
Only because you're not gonnado it.
As in, it's because it would beit would be if that was my core
focus right now to grow this to50,000.
Like I let's use extremeexamples.
(13:23):
Yeah, it's good subscribe.
Hey, I'm gonna kill your wholefamily until unless you get
50,000 subscribers by Christmas.
Yeah.
And then it's like, okay, well,what are you gonna do?
George (13:34):
I'm gonna go.
I'm not gonna do anything elseother than this.
Robby (13:36):
Yeah, but like what no, no, but like what are you gonna
do?
Are you gonna record more?
Yeah.
Probably not.
You you will probably recordmore, but that's probably not
the only thing you're gonna do.
George (13:43):
I'll tell you one thing I would probably do different
from this point on.
We should have a real corefocus on in the case.
Robby (13:49):
All right, let's do this.
Let's do this.
Let's let's make it a littlebit more realistic.
Let's say you had to double thesubscribers by Christmas.
Okay, done.
Yeah.
So let's say let's say I thinkthis will be an interesting
exercise for everyone listening,like in the sense of how we
approach it.
Let's say we had to double thewe've got almost 500 on YouTube.
Let's say we had to go from 500to 1,000.
(14:10):
Yeah.
On before Christmas.
Yeah, cool.
Right now, at the time of thisrecording, this will come out on
Monday.
It's today, it's Tuesday, it'ssix days before it comes out.
George (14:18):
Yep, the 7th of October.
Robby (14:19):
7th of October.
We've got 10 weeks.
Fuck, there's 10 weeks tillChristmas.
George (14:27):
I'm gonna leave.
Stop it.
Robby (14:29):
Eleven weeks till Christmas.
When is it?
George (14:31):
Turn off your airpods, everyone.
Robby (14:32):
18 18 plus 60, 68.
What's that?
11 11 weeks.
George (14:37):
I like not good at it.
Robby (14:38):
10 weeks.
George (14:39):
10 weeks.
Robby (14:40):
Sorry, 11 weeks.
Eleven weeks.
Eleven weeks till Christmas.
Take your word for it.
Yeah.
Eleven, seven, carried on.
That's it.
Must have been that.
Isn't that how it works?
Um 11 weeks till Christmas.
You need to double yoursubscriber amount.
Yeah.
George (14:54):
What are you doing?
What I'm gonna do, I'mactually, I think something we
don't do enough of is we getguests on, to get guests on.
So I'd reach out to theecosystem of people that I know
and reach out to people to comeon as guests.
I think we need to do a bitmore of that.
Uh, don't get me wrong, ourchats are fantastic and we could
continue on this journey andkeep doing what we do.
(15:15):
But the idea of growing thechannel, I believe, where we're
probably falling short, is weneed to not just reach our
people.
Because our people love what wedo and what we say, and we
always um hey, we appreciate allthe messages and all the
comments.
Like I really do.
When someone reaches out to meand says, Love the podcast or
listen to you here or do thishere and so on and so forth,
then um we love that.
(15:35):
But we also want to reach outto a broader network.
So, how do you do that?
Robby (15:40):
Do you get um people that you know like family or
friends?
Yeah, listening, and they sayto you, like, so obviously
people that you wouldn't itwould be people that you know
that don't know me, but they seeme.
Oh, yes, yes.
Like, I think I'm in it's likethey know you I met a yeah, I
met a friend of yours the otherday, and he's like, Oh man, like
you know, I've always seen youon a podcast knee here.
George (15:59):
And I was like, Oh, wow, can I touch you?
Robby (16:01):
And I've had I've had the other way around.
I've had people like, oh,that's George.
I'm like, relax.
It's not that big of a deal.
I know him well, yeah.
And I I find it quite funny.
George (16:12):
It is, it's cool, man.
I love that part of it too.
Uh, I remember the other day,uh, someone said, Oh, I saw I
spoke to your mate the otherday.
Like, who?
It's like, oh Robbie.
Like, oh yeah, how'd you go?
It's like, yeah, it was good,it was good.
Again, because of they theyfeel that rapport and that
connection with you.
I've had people at events comeup to me and say, Man, I feel
like I know you because I see somuch of your content and so
much of your stuff.
(16:32):
Now, that's great, as we said.
Really good brand buildingexercise.
Um, and I think for us to thengo, so let's just say that the
target now is the next 10 weeks.
I like this target, by the way.
It's kind of a good little revup coming into Christmas.
I reckon we need to startlooking at broadener, broadening
our reach.
(16:54):
Yeah, yeah, our reach as far aswho we're gonna speak.
But why not get someone in herethat loves coffee and they're
barista and they've got a cafethat has 50,000 followers.
Robby (17:07):
Yeah, I know what I mean.
You don't get those emails.
I get those emails all the timeof people reaching out to to
jump on the podcast.
Yeah, I just don't know whothey are, and I'm like, I would
I got one.
I got one today.
Yeah, that's cool.
I actually never get them.
How funny.
Uh I I it's because I controlemails.
That's probably the mainreason.
No, I'm saying like from a DMor something like that.
(17:29):
Not podcast.
Mostly, mostly.
Like, let me read one to you.
Yeah.
Okay, this is uh Tommy.
If you listen, Tommy.
Hi, Robbie and George.
Your latest episode on buildingteams and shifting from a solo
operator mindset was fantastic.
That rallying cry, you'll neverbeat a team of people as an
individual, really stood out tome.
Hearing your debate about highperformance, blah, blah, blah,
(17:49):
blah, blah.
Then they talk about someoneelse and what they've been able
to achieve and saying, Do youwant to get them on?
Would you be, you know, wouldthey suggesting their guest,
saying, Would this person be afit?
Oh, so not themselves.
No.
George (18:03):
Okay, so they'll guessing they'll recommending
someone else.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
Oh, well, thanks for themessage, Tommy, first of all.
And love having you here.
Make sure you are subscribed,okay, because we've got a target
to hit.
Robby (18:18):
I don't reckon I reckon a lot of these people we get that
a lot of people message basedon the episode, and I think it's
like an AI thing.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, like I think it's takinga transcription, pulling apart a
specific episode and saying,Hey, I loved how you said this.
Yeah.
I was like, Did you reallylisten?
Because I didn't say that,George did.
George (18:39):
And then what about the person that they put forward?
So did you then go further andcheck that person out?
Robby (18:43):
Yeah, top of that shit.
George (18:45):
Yeah, but maybe you should, but okay, we're trying
to double.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
So it's like at that point inthat instance, it's like, well,
we've got to make this a focusnow because we are trying to do
that.
Robby (18:55):
The only ones I actually look at are the people who apply
through the website.
So if you listen to thewebsite.
So where do those ones comefrom?
And you want to reach out to usproperly, do it the way apply
through the website.
Yeah.
George (19:05):
Milliondollardays.com or.au.com.au.
Yeah.com.au.
Um is it million dollar dayspod or is it million dollar
days?
Robby (19:15):
It's million dollar days.
George (19:15):
Million dollar days.com.au.
Get there.
Um and apply within.
Robby (19:21):
Okay, so Okay, so that's coming back to that.
Okay.
But I still think you'reshooting in the dark.
With what?
The guests.
George (19:29):
I think it's an element.
That's one thing I would try, Iwould change.
Do you know what I mean?
Because as I said, if if you dostart to get onto these
people's platforms and then theyshare it across theirs, because
not only do we have theconversation, as I said, this is
a brand building exercise too.
So they will actually getquality cuts and snippets from
the episode.
So here, here are your assets,go out and share across your
(19:50):
platform.
And we recently did it with umChris.
Uh um Christophe.
Oh, yes.
Right.
And we gave him all the assetsand all that, and then he shares
it across his platform,predominantly on LinkedIn.
I saw it.
Uh and shout out to Chris.
Thanks for coming by.
I loved having the chat.
But that was great because thenhe would then share that across
his platform, and then youwould see lots of people then
(20:12):
commenting, engaging.
Oh, great chat, Chris.
Really good, really good.
And what's to say one ofChris's people then goes, Oh
man, I want to reach out to theboys too that and have a chat
with him and so on and so forth.
That's where I think you get abit more traction.
It's not the initial, I'm gonnaspeak to that one person.
It's like, okay, we go out tohis community now.
Robby (20:30):
Oh, what if we did this?
What if we had this is I'mputting this to you live.
Yeah, let's do it.
What if we lowered the bar forthe people we get on?
George (20:42):
Yeah, so saying having your your mum and dad the shop
next door.
Yeah, but we wouldn't not dothat.
It's more like No, no, no,that's right.
But I'm saying as far asgetting someone on that's
starting out their journey orwhatever.
Robby (20:56):
Yeah, someone we can have a conversation with uh
regarding.
George (20:59):
We've done that already, too, yeah.
Of who?
With a few people.
I can't I don't have the top ofmy head, but we've had people
on here that don't necessarilyhave millions of followers or
anything like that.
No, no, but I think most peoplehave Okay, Josh done.
Shout out to Josh, we've donethe couple episodes.
Josh at the time didn't evenhave an insta, yeah.
We did two.
(21:19):
We did one initially, and thenwe've done a a follow-up one in
Sydney with him where we tookthe gear up.
Robby (21:26):
Oh, we only did one in Sydney.
George (21:27):
No, that was with him, but then we did a he's been on
there twice.
I'm positive.
No, he tripping.
My trippin'?
100% did you do one when wewent to Negambi Lakes?
Robby (21:36):
Ah, he was there.
We were having a chat, but wedidn't, we weren't recording.
George (21:40):
I'm sure he was the only person to come back twice.
Or one of uh Adam any repeat.
Oh yeah, sorry, Adam Adam was arepeat for sure.
Okay, but even Josh, forexample, let's go back to Josh
because I think he's a very goodexample.
Yeah, doesn't even have anInstagram page, didn't have an
Instagram page, sorry.
Yep, now does, because he'swith his business and his
coaching and all that sort ofstuff.
And that'd be a great chat tohave a follow-up since the time
(22:00):
that we did initially speak toright now and what he's doing.
But he had a great story.
I didn't even know until we gothim on the podcast, I didn't
even know he worked on the oilrigs.
Yeah, me either.
All this all all this othershit.
And with Adam, he'd goneoverseas and cooked for some hot
shots and all this sort ofstuff.
Robby (22:15):
But both of those people, like those two examples you
shared, they're both quiteknowledgeable business people
and have had some greatexperience.
George (22:22):
Oh, that's right.
But what a great story.
I I don't want someone that'scome in here and I wouldn't want
to bring a guest on that's notgoing to bring value to the
podcast.
Like, oh, what do you do?
I sweep floors all day.
And it's like, okay, great.
What what's your favorite typeof broom?
Like, do you know what I mean?
Where's I would be so keen toknow what you've ever done?
Robby (22:39):
I know, right?
Is it a soft bristle or is it athe the hard bristle?
Yeah, what's the best brand?
Yeah, do you use like a woodenstore fleet?
Do you just get money?
Is it a broom store?
It sounds like a market.
Uh anyway, back to the topic.
So that they've been two reallylike they are two people who
(23:00):
have accomplished like Brun'sbuilt a great business.
Adam's acquired, he's worked inmany different uh spaces.
Like you know, he had a barbershop and uh waxing shop, yeah,
yeah.
And even like uh bakeryMichelle as well, right?
George (23:16):
We have Michelle on, and she's she's dressed some of the
most famous people in theworld, you know?
Yeah, not just physicallydressed them, she actually
designed the clothes that shethat they wore.
But yeah, like some of the mosthigh.
It's like do we do we lower thebar?
Okay, so what do you mean bylowering the bar?
What's the okay?
Robby (23:33):
So you go and get someone who has 300 followers, yeah,
and you say, Cool, man, likecome on the episode because that
person's gonna share it witheveryone.
Because that person's gonna belike, hey, I want to podcast.
But it's like maybe we startputting out two episodes a week.
Yeah, and every single episodewe've got a new person on that
has you know what I mean?
It's just like constantconversations, and maybe it's
not an hour episode, maybe it'shalf an hour.
(23:53):
You know what I mean?
And it's like everyone hasyou've got to test the value to
share.
George (23:57):
Yeah, that's like where you have to test the market and
go, well, what are we gonna dodifferently?
How are we gonna change itaround?
Robby (24:02):
Yeah.
Um, that's one thing.
What else?
So more guests.
George (24:07):
Yes, I would definitely do that.
I think that's a no-brainer forus.
Yep.
I think we're establishedenough now as well that it's a
level of, oh, cool, you youknow, you've done a hundred
episodes.
Oh, wow, you get a thousanddownloads a month.
Like we've got that enoughrapport there where I think
people would want to be on theguests on the show now, too,
which is great.
Uh, what else would I do?
I'd ask the question, because Idid ask you the question before
(24:31):
the podcast, is there thingsthat need to actually change
from the delivery of thecontent?
Like what's because we're we'redoing all the right things as
far as what we're told or whatwe should be doing.
And I think above and beyondthat, right?
Yeah.
So you look at a Mr.
Beast and he looks at thethumbnail, he looks at the hook,
he looks at the content, at thecopy, and all that shit.
Yeah, the timing of posting,like all that stuff.
(24:52):
I've gone and seeked adviceabout that.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Like we it's not just that.
Like, is it but does it need tochange?
That's what I'm saying.
But if it if it's not gettingthat result, or if it's bouncing
on the same spot and you've gotyou've got 10 subscribers in
the last three months, yeah.
Like, why why isn't all thestuff that should be working and
(25:12):
killing it not working?
So obviously something's notworking.
What needs to change?
So we moved from doing thisevery Wednesday and we moved it
to a Monday just to mix it up,start of the week.
We've gone from you do stillsnow.
I've noticed that.
As in, you'll do a picture ofme, a picture of you with some
text underneath it, and put thatout as a piece of content as
(25:34):
well.
It's not just video, video,video, video.
We do the shorts, we do thelongs, we do the full episode.
You said we're coming up 909videos on inst on LinkedIn.
No, fucking YouTube, sorry.
Robby (25:47):
Yeah, 909 videos on YouTube right at this moment.
George (25:50):
There you go.
And then how many posts on theInstagram page at a Curiosity?
It'd be up there too.
Robby (25:55):
I'll check it.
George (25:56):
Yeah.
Robby (25:57):
So we usually do four four posts per episode, four
four to five.
So there's six hundred andeight posts.
On um Instagram.
Instagram.
Yeah.
608 posts.
608 posts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
George (26:15):
Yes, okay, great.
I like that.
608 at episode 102.
Yeah, fantastic.
Like the so there's no and andthen there's videos that we put
out on our own social pages toothat link back to the podcast.
So there's no lack of the brandbuilding exercise, but I would
(26:35):
then go, well, this is thatself-awareness thing you just
mentioned before.
Like reassess if we're bouncingon the same spot, then why are
you bouncing on the same spot?
There's obviously somethingthere.
Because if Mr.
Beast was running this channel,what would he do differently?
If he was running and said, HeyBeast, Jimmy, let's go.
I need you just just run it.
(26:55):
No one knows.
Don't put your name to it.
What do we need to do?
Yeah.
Go.
So what would he say?
I've got no fucking idea.
I don't know, but I want to askhim now.
I want to ask him.
Maybe we need to get him on thepodcast.
But imagine that.
Imagine eventually, like thatone person, that one ticket
leads to that.
Six degrees of separation.
Robby (27:17):
Yeah.
I I still don't think it's aone thing thing.
It's probably nothing in lifeis a one thing.
George (27:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that's what I mean.
There's the one-hit wonderwhere it does happen sometimes.
Yeah, yeah, but that I walkedpast.
Robby (27:27):
It wasn't a one thing thing.
That's what people don't get.
They think it's because theyposted at 7 p.m.
And it's like, no, it's becauseyou posted at 7 and did this
and had this lighting and thisaudio and this timing and this
reach and this, you know what Imean?
And this person shared it, andthis happened.
And it's like the start, youknow, the the stars aligned.
Yes, yes, yes.
George (27:46):
Yeah.
Or or maybe it's a quantitything.
Maybe we do two podcasts aweek.
You drop one on on when onMonday and you drop one on
Thursday.
Is that the game?
Okay.
So is it a quantity thing?
So you do you do shorterepisodes?
Do you do longer episodes?
Yeah, you go with Joe Rogan andhave a three-hour conversation.
Yeah, 10 weeks, or they'regonna kill you kids.
I would be doing I would bedoing comp if okay.
(28:09):
So we're talking about that,right?
I'd be doing quantity as well.
Robby (28:12):
Yeah.
George (28:13):
So it has to be a volume thing too.
Cool.
Well done, man.
You've got you've got athousand videos or your six
hundred posts.
Cool, make it twelve hundred.
Stop fucking around.
Robby (28:20):
Okay, so you would focus on getting more guests on.
Yeah.
You would focus on how thecontent is being put out.
George (28:29):
I would I review it.
But I think I think what we'redoing, I think when we say we, I
think you're doing an excellentjob at that.
Yeah.
I look at the everything wepost, every single thing comes
my way.
And I'll assess it, I'll lookat it, I like the hooks, I like
the content, and I'll say, hey,this was shit, or this was
really good, or whatever it is.
So I think you're doing anexcellent job.
I'm knowledge we areknowledgeable enough to know
(28:50):
what's good and what's not.
Robby (28:51):
Yeah.
George (28:52):
In that space.
What else?
So we said guests, content,volume.
Robby (28:58):
So as in as in packaging.
Packaging.
Like how you're packaging thecontent.
George (29:04):
Yeah.
Or yes, exactly.
How you're packaging it.
Yeah.
How you're delivering it.
We don't have a LinkedIn page.
Let's set one up.
Who knows?
Like we talk about business andlifestyle.
Why the fuck wouldn't we haveone?
Okay.
Maybe that's the zinger.
Maybe that's a missing piece,one piece of the puzzle.
Um, because you we we oftenpost a lot of the videos on our
(29:26):
platforms, but it never linksback to that page.
So maybe we should look atdoing that.
What else?
Oh, that's just a small littlecontent thing.
Yeah.
Do you run paid ads?
So get paid reach?
Yep.
Because this is the target now.
We're trying to hit that.
We're going, okay, well, fuckit.
Let's start investing somemoney in this.
(29:47):
So do you go, okay, let's putout a paid ad now to start
advertising the podcast?
Let's oh, sponsors.
Let's reach out to people.
So then we can go, cool.
Do you want to be a sponsor ofThe podcast and you pay a
thousand bucks, two thousandbucks a month, and then you use
that money to then go and runads.
Not to go and buy a nice newtablecloth or a new a neon sign
(30:09):
that actually changes colours.
What's wrong with thetablecloth?
No, I'm saying another one.
Okay.
Another white one.
Top tier.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's another one.
Egyptian silk.
Yeah, that's right.
I wouldn't do anything else.
Robby (30:20):
Did you iron this before you put it down?
Me, I did iron this.
Yeah, of course.
You know, see that all thecreases are they're gone.
George (30:27):
Well, when we first got it, it's fucked.
Robby (30:29):
There's a bunch of squares.
George (30:31):
Um, yeah, sponsors.
Yep.
All right, so I'd look at thatbecause the sponsor would then
get a shout out.
So the sponsors are gettingpaid reach.
The sponsors covering the paidreach.
Paid reach.
Yeah.
Like, let's use that money.
I mean, this like again, thiscosts us money.
This podcast costs you and memoney to put together every
single week.
But we do it because we see thelong-term value and benefit of
(30:54):
doing this.
And regardless, this has been agreat brand building exercise.
This has been a good move byus, I believe, in the space that
we're at.
Okay, if we were sweepingfloors every single day and we
didn't want to build a brand,then this probably wouldn't be a
good move.
But this is a great buildingband brand building exercise.
And everyone should be doingstuff like this, whether you're
going to be a guest on one orwhether you're going to start
one, whatever.
But I'd look at sponsors andthen I would look at running ads
(31:17):
for it too.
Okay, so paid reach.
Yeah.
And maybe even assess, okay,let's go back again.
Um, planning the actualpodcast.
So maybe, you know, if you'vegot to cut down a hundred trees
in the forest, the lumberjack isgonna spend, and you've got a
week to do it, the lumberjack isgonna spend five days
(31:37):
sharpening his axe.
So maybe we need to sharpen ouraxe.
Maybe we need to go, right,let's have a pre-meeting before
the podcast.
This is what we're gonna talkabout.
These are the topics, these arethe direction that we're gonna
go.
This is segment, this is thefirst 15 minutes.
At this point, we're gonna do acall out.
Everyone subscribe.
At this point, we're gonnamention our sponsor.
(31:58):
At this point, we're gonnapause.
At this point, we're gonna swapseats.
Like, I don't know, whatever.
Robby (32:03):
So we'll swap seats here again.
Fuck, that's that'll mix shitup.
Um, yeah, so uh a little bitmore.
This is very, it is veryfreestyle.
George (32:15):
Yeah, yeah, without a doubt.
Yeah, exactly.
We we come in here and we talk.
It has been a little bit morestructured over the year, like
over the months, a little bitmore.
Because we saw the need.
I think yeah, I think we sawthe need for that too.
We used to just come in andwalk in and just go, cool, let's
just talk about anything andnot even tell you the topic
we're gonna talk about and justfreestyle and go from there.
But maybe that's an element ofokay, we're gonna have this,
(32:37):
we're gonna have the rightlighting, we're gonna have, you
know, you get like as um SteveBartlett does, they'll go and do
research on their client.
What's their favorite smell,their favorite music, their
favorite drink, and haveeverything ready for them so
that when they sit down, it's agreat conversation, they're in a
comfy and safe place.
Robby (32:54):
Yeah.
Um, okay, so more structuredcontent.
George (32:58):
Yeah.
Robby (32:59):
More plan pre-planning.
George (33:01):
Pre-planning of the actual podcast itself as well.
Robby (33:04):
Yeah.
Anything else?
George (33:10):
Given that you've put me on the spot, yeah.
I'd say they're the the onesthat I would look at first.
And I can't think of anythingelse off the top of my head
right this second.
Robby (33:19):
Yeah, the only thing that I think that's a great list.
I think the only thing I wouldadd to that is I would go and
look at what's gotten us themost subscribers.
George (33:29):
So would you look at topics spoken about?
Everything.
Robby (33:31):
Topics, um topics and types of content.
Yeah, I mean, like what's thething that's gotten the most
engagement that's got, and thenI would go and talk about those
topics.
And I would say, cool, likelet's go and have a real
structured conversation aroundthe types of topics and have a
real structured approach withhow we distribute the content
based on data, not just uh whatwe've done.
George (33:57):
Yeah, without a doubt.
I think that's I think that'sreally important because this is
this is what we're saying.
This isn't our number onething.
It's like our it's our side.
Robby (34:07):
I preface that because well, do you want to do it?
Do you want to hit a thousandbefore Christmas?
George (34:12):
Yeah, I think this is great.
I think this is a great topic.
Yeah, I'm I've actually have alevel of motivation since you've
said that.
Let's go to a thousand.
Let's try and hit a thousand bythe end of the year.
Now, we may do some of thosethings, we may do all of those
things.
Who knows?
But I reckon it's a really goodtarget to try and hit.
Okay.
So then I agree with the topicsthough, uh, and the
(34:34):
conversations that you have too.
Because it it just sparksconversation when you're talking
about controversial topics ortopics that are near and dear to
people.
I think that's important.
Like if we spoke aboutpolitics, religion, war, they
tend to be hot topics in acrossthe world.
(34:56):
And across the country.
Robby (34:59):
Yeah, you're done wrong.
Um so are we doing this?
No, I think we should give it acrack, yeah.
George (35:05):
Publicly announcing it.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, we're trying to get to athousand followers.
Uh subscribers, sorry.
Now we're talking aboutsubscribers on YouTube.
Like from a oh on YouTube?
Robby (35:14):
Yeah, the uh So let's direct it.
Yeah, there's no way this ispublicly accountable.
There is no way for people tosee how many oh there is, like
there's uh software that'll doit, but you can't see how many
subscribers we've actually goton Spotify.
Oh, on Spotify, sorry.
On YouTube again.
Yeah, on YouTube.
That's what we're doing.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
YouTube's publicly uh publiclyaccountable.
(35:34):
Oh, okay.
So we'll do it on YouTube.

Or when they go to YouTube tosubscribe, because they will.
Yes, of course.
It's actually in thedescription there, and they
should see it.
Yeah.
What a lot.
Just left a note for the teamto make sure that we do that.
So this goes live, it'll bethere.
You two for two for one.
unknown (40:43):
Yeah.
Robby (40:44):
That's what'll happen.
You'll be able to subscribe andget a free ticket.
And both will cost you nothing.
George (40:49):
And we haven't, oh man.
Look at that.
What value.
What value.
Uh, I'm excited to go to Perthas well.
First time I've ever been toPerth, let alone doing an event
there.
So I'm looking forward to goingthere.
We're actually going at thesame time as the Ashes cricket
is on.
Did you know that?
I know you didn't know thatbecause you had it penciled in
your calendar because you are amassive Chris cricket buff.
Who's your favourite cricketplayer?
(41:10):
Uh Steve Warren.
Christiard.
Robby (41:14):
Chris Jard, yeah.
George (41:16):
Um, so yeah.
What was I saying?
Yeah.
Um do you like cricket?
Oh, I used to play as a kid.
That's horrible.
Come on, man.
I just don't like it.
I actually stopped playing inunder 18s, uh, after under 18s,
because it went from 50 overs to80 overs, and it was just I
couldn't I couldn't be botheredstanding out there for 80 overs
(41:36):
um to field and then to bat andthen to watch.
So it was great when you'reactually doing something, as in
batting or bowling, but when youwere fielding or watching
people bat, it wasn't as great.
So I gave it up when it turnedinto seniors, but I enjoyed it
when I was a kid.
It was good in that instance.
Uh, but coming back, so yeah,the ashes is on at the same time
that we're there, which is agood thing.
(41:56):
I think lots of people will bein Perth and and watching the
cricket, but the accommodationwent through the roof during
that time.
It was like I looked at thecasino just out of curiosity
because one of my mates said togo stay there, and it was $2,000
a night just for us like asingle room.
So I think we're lucky to getum we got the accommodation that
we did and the flights that wegot as well.
(42:18):
Uh cool.
Yeah, so get to the BuilderSummit.
Look forward to seeing youthere.
It's gonna be a great day outand the last training for 2025.
So, with all that said, there'sa huge level of consistency in
showing up each and every day todo that.
Because there's no guaranteethat in by Christmas we're gonna
(42:39):
have a thousand, by next year,we're gonna have five thousand,
by the year after, we're gonnahave a million, unless we show
up and unless we're consistentand dedicated and doing all the
things that you need to do.
So look at your business rightnow.
What marker do you want?
Like, is it more money?
Like, are you are you driven bymaking money?
And can I be perfectly clear?
There's nothing wrong withthat.
There is nothing.
(43:00):
So many people have a negativeattachment to money.
I want to make, and I'll openlysay it, as much I want to I say
this at events, I want to makeso much money that people are
offended by it.
That's much money I want tomake.
People get offended by how muchmoney I make, then I know I'm
making enough.
That's a weird outcome.
Robby (43:17):
Yeah.
George (43:17):
But as in, I'm trying to just show an extreme.
Robby (43:20):
Yeah, yeah.
George (43:20):
That's all.
I'm not saying that's my goal,just to offend people by pulling
out a watt of cash and payingwith cash.
No, just in the sense of you'vemade you've making a lot of
money to go, oh, he must be, hemust like that must be drugs.
It's the only way I could havemade that money.
Or it must be he must be havedone something so wrong and
illegal that it's the only wayhe could be successful.
(43:42):
So but you want people to thinkthat no, no, I don't want, I
don't couldn't care less whatpeople think.
I'm not doing it for anyoneelse.
I'm just saying to the I'm justtrying to use that extreme
example, that's all.
Um, but no, like I've got I'vegot a positive relationship with
money.
I want to make as much of it ashumanly possible.
I see it as a I I realize thatit's a tool.
(44:03):
I can use it to do things anddo great things in this world
for myself, for my business, formy employees, my clients, and
for everyone in the ecosystem,for others.
Um it's a good tool to use andto help and to promote.
So that's what I want to,that's why I want to make so
much of it.
Robby (44:21):
Um, what else can we offer our listeners to share
this?
What else could we do?
What else could we I feel likewe need to give them a yeah?
George (44:32):
So what would make it a no-brainer for them to actually
because look, I get it.
You're listening to this now,for you to pull out your phone
and then go into YouTube andthen type million dollar days in
the search bar if you don't goto the link and then find it and
then click on the page and thenclick subscribe.
I get that.
That's difficult.
Robby (44:51):
That's it.
You just made it sound ununbelievably hard.
Exactly.
I might I might unsubscribe.
Fucking Jesus.
George (44:57):
But that's what it is, though.
You know, you have seconds toteach to get people's um
attention, and and especially inthis day and age with how
social media is driven, it'slike the three-second clip or
under a second before you evenengage in a post.
So for them to stop and get outof the app that they're in or
just pick up their phone to dothat, where's the payoff?
(45:18):
What's the the result and thereward for them to do so?
Where how do you make it ano-brainer for people to do
that?
Robby (45:25):
Should we do a giveaway?
Yeah, you could.
For anyone who subscribes fromthis episode onwards.
Okay.
Between now and Christmas.
George (45:35):
So now and Christmas.
Should we should we make somehandbands and get send them a
hand van?
Robby (45:40):
Definitely not.
George (45:41):
Definitely not doing that.
Guys, cut that out.
Robby (45:43):
Cut that part out of the episode, and I'll do it again.
So, should we do a giveaway?
George (45:48):
Is that bad?
Should we do is that offendedby the hand van?
Shit.
Robby (45:52):
Well, you're not getting one of those.
Yeah.
Well, you're not gonna get ahand van.
Um something to think aboutthough.
You know, maybe we will putsomething together that um that
am I wearing a million dollarsout now?
George (46:06):
You might run one.
Am I wearing one?
No, one click.
Okay.
But there's one behind you ifyou want to go grab that off the
shelf.
Robby (46:12):
Oh, I almost pulled the cable out.
George (46:14):
Um I'm not gonna grab it, but you can probably see it
in the frame, can you?
Right.
Oh, there you go.
There, good, what a life.
Can you see it?
Yeah, you can point to it.
Up, there you go.
But the only way you would beable to see that is if you're
watching this on YouTube.
Robby (46:29):
Exactly.
So to see that bit, make sureyou get onto YouTube, subscribe.
We're gonna aim to hit 50 newfollowers, subscribers every
single week.
And we will update you at thestart of every episode.
We'll update you with what itwas at at the time of recording,
which will be slightly off, butit'll be close enough to get
you updated.
Or if you're really, really uha fan, you can check it when the
(46:54):
episode comes out, and you canbe like, let's see where they're
at now.
You know what I mean?
I mean, do drum roll, please.
Don't used to play drums.
You did?
Yeah.
George (47:05):
Used to play drums and could get yeah, but at the same
time, wasn't on there justjamming whilst we're having a
bowl or a bat.
Uh, yeah, I used to play drums.
I learned in high school, and Idon't know if you knew this.
Fun fact, I was in a band.
I knew that.
Did you do that?
Yeah, try and embrace memory.
Robby (47:21):
Do you know what the band was called?
Uh fat controller.
George plus three.
The fat controller.
The fat control.
George (47:28):
Shout out to the boys.
The fat controller.
The fat controller from youknow Thomas the Tank Engine.
unknown (47:34):
No.
Robby (47:34):
You never watched Thomas the Tank Engine?
Yeah, well, I don't know whothe fat controller is.
He's the fat controller.
He's the guy on the controller.
George (47:43):
Um although in this day and age, I don't think they're
allowed to call him.
There you go.
They've got to call him the bigbone controller.
Robby (47:49):
Do you have any content out from the band?
George (47:51):
I've got a I've got an I've got a few videos.
There's some videos online.
Are they on that?
They're on Facebook.
So if you search the fatcontroller on Facebook, I think
we used to actually have aFacebook page.
I think.
Fuck.
I I don't even know if itexists anymore.
But maybe I'll chuck a um anold school clip on, but it was
filmed on a you know, Nokia3310.
Robby (48:10):
Nothing on YouTube?
George (48:11):
No, I don't think.
No, it's definitely not onYouTube.
The fat F-A-T?
Yeah, not PH.
Come on, then.
Yeah, so uh I was in a band.
Fun fact.
Played the drums uh with myother mates, keys, bass, two
guitarists, and a lead singer.
Robby (48:28):
Bit of fun.
Bit of fun.
Okay, there you go.
If you didn't know, now youknow.
Um anything else you'd like toadd to episode 103, George,
before we ask our loyallisteners to we're gonna ask you
to subscribe on every singlelife platform.
George (48:51):
But no, no.
Anything else?
Oh, sorry, on goals YouTube.
Yeah, so you go onto YouTube,yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Um, yeah, okay, so goal, okay,set yourself sell yourself a
target for the rest of the year.
Because as we said, there'sonly 11 weeks left.
What's your target now?
What metrics are you going tobe following?
What metrics are you going tobe tracking?
And hit them.
Robby (49:12):
Even a touch before that, what's the one area in your for
the year that you don't feellike you've really pushed in the
right direction?
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
And it's like, what's that foryou?
Yeah.
And what are you gonna do tomove that number?
George (49:33):
Because here's the thing, eleven weeks isn't a lot
of time.
It's not.
But here's the other thingeleven weeks is more than enough
time.
It's ages.
Fucking ages.
All right.
So get to work.
Get to work.
Stop making excuses.
You know, we always live in ourcomfort zone.
Robby (49:49):
Yeah, what's the metric?
Is it your weight?
Is it your revenue?
Is it uh how much you saved up?
Is it how many trips you wenton?
Is it whatever it is for you?
Do you know what I mean?
Is it how many restaurants youate at?
Is it uh uh how much time youspent with your kids?
What's the number that you wantto push for the rest of the
(50:09):
year?
And what can you do over thenext 11 weeks to be super
consistent with it to make surethat you and and set you know
dude if we if we hit a thousand,I think that's quite
significant in the sense of youknow, a hundred and two episodes
to hit this and then a hundredand thirteen episodes and we've
(50:33):
doubled that would be great.
Yeah, exactly.
Um, and I think people need toset themselves a goal that where
if they hit it, that'd be likeI'd be pretty happy with that.
I'd be very happy with that.
George (50:46):
Absolutely, yeah, absolutely.
Excellent.
Well, hope you guys are havinga million dollar day.
Definitely after this episode.
But looking forward to seeingthose numbers going up on
YouTube.
Tell your friends, tell yourmum, tell every single person
that has a YouTube account.
Tell Mr.
Beast, send him a message.
Send him a message on one ofthe platforms and tell him, Hey,
(51:06):
you need to subscribe to thischannel because they were once
where you were.
And then we'll document thattoo.
Have a great day, guys.
Thanks for tuning in and lookforward to speaking to you next
time.
Thanks, everybody.
Welcome back, everyone, to Million Dollar Days.
My name is George Passas.
And I am Robbie Treker.
Better known as Top George andMr.
Roberts.
That's right.
Uh every week we bring youheaps of content, heaps of
value, and we talk business,strategy, mindset, lifestyle,
everything that it means to bein that space.
(00:20):
As a man, as a woman, whateveryou are, that's where we live
and what we love doing.
We do this every single week.
Haven't missed a week since westarted the podcast.
Consistency.
Yeah?
Consistency is something thatis incredibly important in
business and life.
It's not often that you get aone-hit wonder.
(00:42):
Does happen.
Does happen.
Robby (00:45):
It wouldn't be called a wonder if it happened often.
George (00:47):
No, that's right.
And I saw a video the otherday, and I know you've seen it
too.
The other day, when I say itwas yesterday, I watched it in
its entirety.
And it was of Mr.
Beast.
He put up a video for those ofyou that haven't seen it, go
onto his YouTube channel andhave a look at it.
He put up a video 10 years ago,or he made a video 10 years
ago, and he scheduled it to beposted in 10 years' time on
(01:10):
YouTube.
So he would automatically putit in there, put the future
date, comes out on this day.
And he was young, he was 17years old.
He was sitting in his bedroomwith a pretty poor quality
camera and just talking to thescreen.
So I go, Oh, I wonder whereI'll be in 10 years' time.
He goes, I love YouTube.
I love what it's about.
I love creating videos andcontent.
He goes, at the moment, I'vegot, and he showed it on his
(01:32):
channel.
He goes, I've got about 8,500followers.
This is Mr.
Beast, yeah?
Eight and a half thousandfollowers.
And he goes, I've got about 1.2million views on my videos from
those since I've been posting.
And fast forward 10 years, he'slike, I wonder where you'll be
in 10 years' time.
He goes, I hope you have amillion followers.
(01:53):
He goes, Man, that'll beamazing.
Imagine having a millionfollowers.
Like his mind was blown at thatidea and that concept.
And you fast forward to 10 to10 years in the future, and he's
got multiple channels withhundreds of millions of
followers across each of thosechannels.
And I just I actually looked atthat in a bit of admiration,
(02:17):
but also just like, well done,man.
Like so good.
So good.
A kid, 17-year-old kid, no oneknew his name 10 years ago.
And 10 years goes like that.
Most of you listening to thisright now have been doing
something, whether it's yourprofession for 10 years or your
business for 10 years, you'vebeen doing something for a
considerable amount of time.
(02:38):
You've been eating for 10years.
And eating for 10 years?
How come you don't have thebest body ever?
And it almost actually inspiredme to do a similar video.
Do one like exactly that.
Say, hey, I'm I'm 41.
I'm over the hill.
10 years' time will be 51.
Now that I reckon 50.
If you say you're in your 50s,I feel that that's old.
(02:58):
At the moment, I don't feelold.
I don't think it's when someonesays to me they're 40, I go,
Oh, you're young.
How funny, right?
And I've think I've said thison stage before.
It's like, if you tell someoneyou're going back to uni at 40
years old, like, fuck, 40,you're going back to uni now,
you're old.
Like, what are you doing?
You'll be 45 by the time you'redone.
But then if you go and sayanother story, hey, this this
(03:21):
guy died the other day, he was40 years old.
It's like, fuck, that's young.
It's interesting looking atthat different perspective on
things.
Robby (03:28):
Yeah, I guess it's relative to the task.
George (03:31):
Yeah.
Robby (03:33):
True.
George (03:34):
But still, but it's also, man, you're still young.
Like you can do anything youwant at any age.
It's just a number.
Like, I get the cliche.
It's just a number, man.
You can go and do stuff.
In 10 years' time, like my lifecould be drastically different.
Our lives could be drasticallydifferent.
Imagine if I'm going to do avideo now in 10 years' time.
We're doing this podcast for 10years fucking straight.
And I sit there and say, youknow what?
(03:55):
I hope we have 50,000 followersin 10 years' time.
That'd be amazing on thepodcast.
We've got 50,000 subscribers.
And then you fast forward 10years' time, every single week,
delivering this podcast, doingthis thing, having talks with
different people, amazingpeople.
I wonder, I hope I get someone,you know, really influential
and famous on the podcast.
That'd be cool.
(04:16):
And then before you know it,anyone that ever, and we fast
forward to 10 years, and anyonethat comes to Australia is has
already pre-booked a show.
I'm talking famous,influential.
We interview presidents andeveryone to debate, whoever it
is.
Imagine that.
You don't know what thefuture's gonna bring, but if you
don't give it a crack, it won'tbring you fucking anything.
(04:37):
Do you feel that there's powerand consistency?
Robby (04:43):
Yeah, but I also so to play devil's advocate here, I
also feel like there's theelement of like, you know, if
you keep banging your head on awall, you're not gonna make a
million dollars.
Yeah.
Flogging a dead horse.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
So there's that side of thecoin as well.
George (04:58):
So I think you need to check in and what do you think
that and how do you know whenthat's when you're at that
point?
What do you need to be lookingat?
Robby (05:04):
I think you just you gotta have some markers, some
things you can measure.
George (05:08):
Yep.
Do you think there's a level ofself-awareness?
Like, are you good enough to doit?
Robby (05:15):
I reckon most people are good enough to do most things.
George (05:18):
Yeah, but I'm not playing in the NBA anytime soon.
I can shoot a three.
Robby (05:23):
Yeah.
George (05:24):
And I'll never will play in the NBA.
Robby (05:26):
Yeah, but when was the last time you shot a basketball?
How many shots have you takenon?
Uh Saturday.
Yeah, how many shots have youtaken this year?
George (05:32):
This year?
Seventeen.
Seventeen plus the yeah.
Robby (05:38):
Um, that's probably why.
Yeah.
But I'm sure if you got up andyou took 7,000 shots every day.
George (05:43):
Yeah, there'd be a definite element of improvement.
Maybe the first 40 years.
Robby (05:46):
Because also there is not everyone's gonna be able to do
everything.
Yeah.
Yes.
Like you know what I mean?
We're probably not gonna playin the NBA.
Yeah.
Most likely.
I haven't ruled it out yet.
Um still got time.
But yeah, I think and for somepeople I think that awareness
thing would be like, are yougood at what you do?
George (06:07):
Yeah.
Robby (06:09):
You know what I mean?
Are you are you playing theright game?
Do you think you're good atwhat you do in your profession?
Do I think I am?
Yes I do.
George (06:21):
Yeah, me too.
I often actually say it.
I actually say I'm the best atwhat I do.
I think you need to believethat though.
I agree.
It's not to say I am the best.
You know, in matter of fact, Ireckon there are people out
there that are better than me.
Or that are doing more than meas well, which is very
frustrating in my face, in myeyes, and I know it is with you
too.
So I'll look at anotherbuilding company, for example,
(06:42):
or another builder or businessowner, whatever it is, and
they're out there crushing it.
It's like, well, why?
I'm just I'm just as good, I'mjust as knowledgeable, I'm
probably better, but they're outthere killing it, making tens
and hundreds of millions ofdollars.
It's like, well, what's what'swhere's the gap?
Where's that missing piece?
Why are we not at that level?
(07:03):
What are we doing wrong?
So I often look at that aspecttoo and go, well, what element
needs to change?
Robby (07:12):
Yeah, I I think this is how I see it with that.
It's like, okay, look look atthe subscribers thing.
You talk about subscribers andMr.
Beast.
And the way I see it is like,okay, if that's your point of
measurement, do the activitythat drives that one number.
If you're measuring yourbusiness by revenue, like do the
(07:37):
activity that drives that onenumber.
Do you know what I mean?
If you're measuring it onprofit, do the activity that
drives that one digit.
Like drive that single thing.
I think I said it last time.
I was like, you can know yournumbers really well.
Doesn't mean you're gonna turnover more.
You can be all over like youreverything, like have it down to
(07:57):
the T.
And then it does not mean thatyou're gonna do more revenue.
You want to do more revenue, domore sales.
You want more subscribers,create more of the type of
content that gets you moresubscribers.
George (08:08):
Correct.
There's no point us talkingabout uh whatever flowers.
Robby (08:12):
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Or being like, we're gonna addthis segment to the to the
podcast.
And it's like, well, how do youknow your segments are the
reason that people subscribe tothe show?
Maybe it's your shorts.
Maybe it's actually the clips.
You know how many people aresaying they see the clips more
than anything else?
Um and then it's like, okay,cool, well, maybe it's the way
(08:33):
we're clipping stuff, and weneed to clip stuff better and
put out more.
You know what I mean?
And then it's like maybethere's that element.
Maybe there is the it's like,what's the thing that's gonna
drive the number you want todrive?
You know, if the goal was toget this to you say 50,000?
Yeah, just 50,000 subscribers,50k.
(08:53):
If the goal is to get it to50k, what's the thing that's
gonna drive us closer to that50k every single day, week,
month?
Yeah, you know what I mean, andjust do that.
Like a soul.
George (09:06):
So okay, you say that.
How do you find that?
How do you find what that focusis?
Because tell me, but correct meif I'm wrong, you would like
50,000 followers right now,subscribers to this channel?
Yeah.
So would I.
Okay, so what's that drivingfactor right now?
So because people can say,yeah, okay, I want that, I want
to concentrate on that.
How do they find what thatdriving factor is to get to that
target they're trying to hit?
(09:27):
Well, what are you measuring?
Let's just say for let's useour example right now.
Okay, we want to get it.
You could could it be a shoutout, like right now?
What do you mean?
Like right this second, I couldask people to stop what they're
doing, pull over if you'redriving, sit down if you're
walking, uh, get out of theshower if you're showering, and
press the red button andsubscribe.
(09:47):
Yes.
We could do that, and thatcould probably get us to 50,000
followers.
Robby (09:51):
That's one element.
I think uh Diary of a CEO doesthat really well.
So he starts off every singleepisode by telling people and he
does it differently every time.
Like so he's obviously tryingto pattern interrupt and he
starts off every single episodetalking about how what did he
say?
It baffles me that you know somany people listen to this
podcast.
But everyone that listens tothis, only 40% of you are
(10:11):
subscribed.
He's like, I've had peoplecomment before saying that they
didn't notice they weren'tsubscribed because they
constantly see it because thealgorithm shows you every single
new episode.
But if you could just take amoment right now and check and
please see if you aren'tsubscribed, subscribe now
because it really helps us growthe channel.
And if you do that, my promiseto you is we'll continue to
deliver and blah blah blah blahblah.
George (10:30):
Yeah, and that's that's a great promise.
And I feel that that's a levelof genuine um of genuine
genuinity, that word of beinggenuine.
And he's like saying, Yeah,yeah, that's right.
And they they will continue tolike I've seen plenty of his
episodes, and they've providedheaps of value.
And I've followed new peoplethat I never knew existed
because I saw them on hischannel.
(10:51):
So yeah, without a doubt.
Yeah.
But so back to the question: what do we need to do now, aside (10:54):
undefined
from just giving that shout outright now?
Where's that element?
I want to we want to grow thisnow to 50,000 followers.
Let's just say that's our nexttarget.
Our next target is 50,000followers.
What do we need to do?
Robby (11:08):
Okay, so we've got we've got hundreds of people
subscribed to the podcastseparately, and then we've got
close to 500 subscribed onYouTube as well.
Okay, great.
Okay, most of the people listenthrough Spotify, by the way.
Yeah.
Um, this is what I would do.
Now, obviously, this is whilstthis is important to us and and
we do a lot for it, it'sdefinitely not number one on
(11:31):
either of our priority list.
George (11:33):
Oh, without a doubt.
In the sense of it, there'stimes where this is how it is.
Yeah, there is a time when thisis a uh a task, it's a chore.
You know, when you can be like,fuck, I've got so much to do
right now.
And like we've got an eventthis week.
I've got a three-day event thatI'm hold holding this week.
And I messaged you yesterdaysays, hey, Monday, Tuesday is my
only day to do a podcast.
And you know what?
(11:53):
Let's pretend, let's go backthough.
Had we not done it today,yesterday, or today, I would
have come in out of hours to doa podcast with you.
Yeah.
If I had to, because that's thelevel of commitment that I've
got to this.
Yeah, uh, we just got a ninegame podcast.
That's right.
We've done it on a weekend aswell.
We both had nothing on, andwe're like, hey, do you want to
just come and do a podcast?
Yeah, fucking oath, let's doit.
So and don't get me wrong,guys, like this this that this
(12:17):
isn't a chore.
I don't say that I'm not sayingthat this podcast is a chore,
I'm saying it's times where itcan feel like that, but just
like anything can in yourbusiness.
There's times where you have toprocess payroll, it's a fucking
chore, but you've got to do it.
Um, yeah, this is an enjoyableaspect, and this is a great
brand building exercise for usas well.
(12:38):
So, yeah, aside from the actualmillion dollar days brand
itself, having the followers,this has also helped us within
our ecosystem of building brand,our personal brand.
Like that's I think assistedgreatly as far as providing
expertise, as far as uh being anindustry leader in our spaces.
I think that's helped us great.
Yeah, it really positively inin that space.
(13:00):
But again, back to thequestion.
Robby (13:02):
Yeah, so uh and I shared that because I will tell I will
say what I will do.
Yeah.
And I'll also let you know thatthere's a good chance that I'm
not gonna do it.
In what way?
Only because you're not gonnado it.
As in, it's because it would beit would be if that was my core
focus right now to grow this to50,000.
Like I let's use extremeexamples.
(13:23):
Yeah, it's good subscribe.
Hey, I'm gonna kill your wholefamily until unless you get
50,000 subscribers by Christmas.
Yeah.
And then it's like, okay, well,what are you gonna do?
George (13:34):
I'm gonna go.
I'm not gonna do anything elseother than this.
Robby (13:36):
Yeah, but like what no, no, but like what are you gonna
do?
Are you gonna record more?
Yeah.
Probably not.
You you will probably recordmore, but that's probably not
the only thing you're gonna do.
George (13:43):
I'll tell you one thing I would probably do different
from this point on.
We should have a real corefocus on in the case.
Robby (13:49):
All right, let's do this.
Let's do this.
Let's let's make it a littlebit more realistic.
Let's say you had to double thesubscribers by Christmas.
Okay, done.
Yeah.
So let's say let's say I thinkthis will be an interesting
exercise for everyone listening,like in the sense of how we
approach it.
Let's say we had to double thewe've got almost 500 on YouTube.
Let's say we had to go from 500to 1,000.
(14:10):
Yeah.
On before Christmas.
Yeah, cool.
Right now, at the time of thisrecording, this will come out on
Monday.
It's today, it's Tuesday, it'ssix days before it comes out.
George (14:18):
Yep, the 7th of October.
Robby (14:19):
7th of October.
We've got 10 weeks.
Fuck, there's 10 weeks tillChristmas.
George (14:27):
I'm gonna leave.
Stop it.
Robby (14:29):
Eleven weeks till Christmas.
When is it?
George (14:31):
Turn off your airpods, everyone.
Robby (14:32):
18 18 plus 60, 68.
What's that?
11 11 weeks.
George (14:37):
I like not good at it.
Robby (14:38):
10 weeks.
George (14:39):
10 weeks.
Robby (14:40):
Sorry, 11 weeks.
Eleven weeks.
Eleven weeks till Christmas.
Take your word for it.
Yeah.
Eleven, seven, carried on.
That's it.
Must have been that.
Isn't that how it works?
Um 11 weeks till Christmas.
You need to double yoursubscriber amount.
Yeah.
George (14:54):
What are you doing?
What I'm gonna do, I'mactually, I think something we
don't do enough of is we getguests on, to get guests on.
So I'd reach out to theecosystem of people that I know
and reach out to people to comeon as guests.
I think we need to do a bitmore of that.
Uh, don't get me wrong, ourchats are fantastic and we could
continue on this journey andkeep doing what we do.
(15:15):
But the idea of growing thechannel, I believe, where we're
probably falling short, is weneed to not just reach our
people.
Because our people love what wedo and what we say, and we
always um hey, we appreciate allthe messages and all the
comments.
Like I really do.
When someone reaches out to meand says, Love the podcast or
listen to you here or do thishere and so on and so forth,
then um we love that.
(15:35):
But we also want to reach outto a broader network.
So, how do you do that?
Robby (15:40):
Do you get um people that you know like family or
friends?
Yeah, listening, and they sayto you, like, so obviously
people that you wouldn't itwould be people that you know
that don't know me, but they seeme.
Oh, yes, yes.
Like, I think I'm in it's likethey know you I met a yeah, I
met a friend of yours the otherday, and he's like, Oh man, like
you know, I've always seen youon a podcast knee here.
George (15:59):
And I was like, Oh, wow, can I touch you?
Robby (16:01):
And I've had I've had the other way around.
I've had people like, oh,that's George.
I'm like, relax.
It's not that big of a deal.
I know him well, yeah.
And I I find it quite funny.
George (16:12):
It is, it's cool, man.
I love that part of it too.
Uh, I remember the other day,uh, someone said, Oh, I saw I
spoke to your mate the otherday.
Like, who?
It's like, oh Robbie.
Like, oh yeah, how'd you go?
It's like, yeah, it was good,it was good.
Again, because of they theyfeel that rapport and that
connection with you.
I've had people at events comeup to me and say, Man, I feel
like I know you because I see somuch of your content and so
much of your stuff.
(16:32):
Now, that's great, as we said.
Really good brand buildingexercise.
Um, and I think for us to thengo, so let's just say that the
target now is the next 10 weeks.
I like this target, by the way.
It's kind of a good little revup coming into Christmas.
I reckon we need to startlooking at broadener, broadening
our reach.
(16:54):
Yeah, yeah, our reach as far aswho we're gonna speak.
But why not get someone in herethat loves coffee and they're
barista and they've got a cafethat has 50,000 followers.
Robby (17:07):
Yeah, I know what I mean.
You don't get those emails.
I get those emails all the timeof people reaching out to to
jump on the podcast.
Yeah, I just don't know whothey are, and I'm like, I would
I got one.
I got one today.
Yeah, that's cool.
I actually never get them.
How funny.
Uh I I it's because I controlemails.
That's probably the mainreason.
No, I'm saying like from a DMor something like that.
(17:29):
Not podcast.
Mostly, mostly.
Like, let me read one to you.
Yeah.
Okay, this is uh Tommy.
If you listen, Tommy.
Hi, Robbie and George.
Your latest episode on buildingteams and shifting from a solo
operator mindset was fantastic.
That rallying cry, you'll neverbeat a team of people as an
individual, really stood out tome.
Hearing your debate about highperformance, blah, blah, blah,
(17:49):
blah, blah.
Then they talk about someoneelse and what they've been able
to achieve and saying, Do youwant to get them on?
Would you be, you know, wouldthey suggesting their guest,
saying, Would this person be afit?
Oh, so not themselves.
No.
George (18:03):
Okay, so they'll guessing they'll recommending
someone else.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes.
Oh, well, thanks for themessage, Tommy, first of all.
And love having you here.
Make sure you are subscribed,okay, because we've got a target
to hit.
Robby (18:18):
I don't reckon I reckon a lot of these people we get that
a lot of people message basedon the episode, and I think it's
like an AI thing.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, like I think it's takinga transcription, pulling apart a
specific episode and saying,Hey, I loved how you said this.
Yeah.
I was like, Did you reallylisten?
Because I didn't say that,George did.
George (18:39):
And then what about the person that they put forward?
So did you then go further andcheck that person out?
Robby (18:43):
Yeah, top of that shit.
George (18:45):
Yeah, but maybe you should, but okay, we're trying
to double.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
So it's like at that point inthat instance, it's like, well,
we've got to make this a focusnow because we are trying to do
that.
Robby (18:55):
The only ones I actually look at are the people who apply
through the website.
So if you listen to thewebsite.
So where do those ones comefrom?
And you want to reach out to usproperly, do it the way apply
through the website.
Yeah.
George (19:05):
Milliondollardays.com or.au.com.au.
Yeah.com.au.
Um is it million dollar dayspod or is it million dollar
days?
Robby (19:15):
It's million dollar days.
George (19:15):
Million dollar days.com.au.
Get there.
Um and apply within.
Robby (19:21):
Okay, so Okay, so that's coming back to that.
Okay.
But I still think you'reshooting in the dark.
With what?
The guests.
George (19:29):
I think it's an element.
That's one thing I would try, Iwould change.
Do you know what I mean?
Because as I said, if if you dostart to get onto these
people's platforms and then theyshare it across theirs, because
not only do we have theconversation, as I said, this is
a brand building exercise too.
So they will actually getquality cuts and snippets from
the episode.
So here, here are your assets,go out and share across your
(19:50):
platform.
And we recently did it with umChris.
Uh um Christophe.
Oh, yes.
Right.
And we gave him all the assetsand all that, and then he shares
it across his platform,predominantly on LinkedIn.
I saw it.
Uh and shout out to Chris.
Thanks for coming by.
I loved having the chat.
But that was great because thenhe would then share that across
his platform, and then youwould see lots of people then
(20:12):
commenting, engaging.
Oh, great chat, Chris.
Really good, really good.
And what's to say one ofChris's people then goes, Oh
man, I want to reach out to theboys too that and have a chat
with him and so on and so forth.
That's where I think you get abit more traction.
It's not the initial, I'm gonnaspeak to that one person.
It's like, okay, we go out tohis community now.
Robby (20:30):
Oh, what if we did this?
What if we had this is I'mputting this to you live.
Yeah, let's do it.
What if we lowered the bar forthe people we get on?
George (20:42):
Yeah, so saying having your your mum and dad the shop
next door.
Yeah, but we wouldn't not dothat.
It's more like No, no, no,that's right.
But I'm saying as far asgetting someone on that's
starting out their journey orwhatever.
Robby (20:56):
Yeah, someone we can have a conversation with uh
regarding.
George (20:59):
We've done that already, too, yeah.
Of who?
With a few people.
I can't I don't have the top ofmy head, but we've had people
on here that don't necessarilyhave millions of followers or
anything like that.
No, no, but I think most peoplehave Okay, Josh done.
Shout out to Josh, we've donethe couple episodes.
Josh at the time didn't evenhave an insta, yeah.
We did two.
(21:19):
We did one initially, and thenwe've done a a follow-up one in
Sydney with him where we tookthe gear up.
Robby (21:26):
Oh, we only did one in Sydney.
George (21:27):
No, that was with him, but then we did a he's been on
there twice.
I'm positive.
No, he tripping.
My trippin'?
100% did you do one when wewent to Negambi Lakes?
Robby (21:36):
Ah, he was there.
We were having a chat, but wedidn't, we weren't recording.
George (21:40):
I'm sure he was the only person to come back twice.
Or one of uh Adam any repeat.
Oh yeah, sorry, Adam Adam was arepeat for sure.
Okay, but even Josh, forexample, let's go back to Josh
because I think he's a very goodexample.
Yeah, doesn't even have anInstagram page, didn't have an
Instagram page, sorry.
Yep, now does, because he'swith his business and his
coaching and all that sort ofstuff.
And that'd be a great chat tohave a follow-up since the time
(22:00):
that we did initially speak toright now and what he's doing.
But he had a great story.
I didn't even know until we gothim on the podcast, I didn't
even know he worked on the oilrigs.
Yeah, me either.
All this all all this othershit.
And with Adam, he'd goneoverseas and cooked for some hot
shots and all this sort ofstuff.
Robby (22:15):
But both of those people, like those two examples you
shared, they're both quiteknowledgeable business people
and have had some greatexperience.
George (22:22):
Oh, that's right.
But what a great story.
I I don't want someone that'scome in here and I wouldn't want
to bring a guest on that's notgoing to bring value to the
podcast.
Like, oh, what do you do?
I sweep floors all day.
And it's like, okay, great.
What what's your favorite typeof broom?
Like, do you know what I mean?
Where's I would be so keen toknow what you've ever done?
Robby (22:39):
I know, right?
Is it a soft bristle or is it athe the hard bristle?
Yeah, what's the best brand?
Yeah, do you use like a woodenstore fleet?
Do you just get money?
Is it a broom store?
It sounds like a market.
Uh anyway, back to the topic.
So that they've been two reallylike they are two people who
(23:00):
have accomplished like Brun'sbuilt a great business.
Adam's acquired, he's worked inmany different uh spaces.
Like you know, he had a barbershop and uh waxing shop, yeah,
yeah.
And even like uh bakeryMichelle as well, right?
George (23:16):
We have Michelle on, and she's she's dressed some of the
most famous people in theworld, you know?
Yeah, not just physicallydressed them, she actually
designed the clothes that shethat they wore.
But yeah, like some of the mosthigh.
It's like do we do we lower thebar?
Okay, so what do you mean bylowering the bar?
What's the okay?
Robby (23:33):
So you go and get someone who has 300 followers, yeah,
and you say, Cool, man, likecome on the episode because that
person's gonna share it witheveryone.
Because that person's gonna belike, hey, I want to podcast.
But it's like maybe we startputting out two episodes a week.
Yeah, and every single episodewe've got a new person on that
has you know what I mean?
It's just like constantconversations, and maybe it's
not an hour episode, maybe it'shalf an hour.
(23:53):
You know what I mean?
And it's like everyone hasyou've got to test the value to
share.
George (23:57):
Yeah, that's like where you have to test the market and
go, well, what are we gonna dodifferently?
How are we gonna change itaround?
Robby (24:02):
Yeah.
Um, that's one thing.
What else?
So more guests.
George (24:07):
Yes, I would definitely do that.
I think that's a no-brainer forus.
Yep.
I think we're establishedenough now as well that it's a
level of, oh, cool, you youknow, you've done a hundred
episodes.
Oh, wow, you get a thousanddownloads a month.
Like we've got that enoughrapport there where I think
people would want to be on theguests on the show now, too,
which is great.
Uh, what else would I do?
I'd ask the question, because Idid ask you the question before
(24:31):
the podcast, is there thingsthat need to actually change
from the delivery of thecontent?
Like what's because we're we'redoing all the right things as
far as what we're told or whatwe should be doing.
And I think above and beyondthat, right?
Yeah.
So you look at a Mr.
Beast and he looks at thethumbnail, he looks at the hook,
he looks at the content, at thecopy, and all that shit.
Yeah, the timing of posting,like all that stuff.
(24:52):
I've gone and seeked adviceabout that.
Yeah, that's what I mean.
Like we it's not just that.
Like, is it but does it need tochange?
That's what I'm saying.
But if it if it's not gettingthat result, or if it's bouncing
on the same spot and you've gotyou've got 10 subscribers in
the last three months, yeah.
Like, why why isn't all thestuff that should be working and
(25:12):
killing it not working?
So obviously something's notworking.
What needs to change?
So we moved from doing thisevery Wednesday and we moved it
to a Monday just to mix it up,start of the week.
We've gone from you do stillsnow.
I've noticed that.
As in, you'll do a picture ofme, a picture of you with some
text underneath it, and put thatout as a piece of content as
(25:34):
well.
It's not just video, video,video, video.
We do the shorts, we do thelongs, we do the full episode.
You said we're coming up 909videos on inst on LinkedIn.
No, fucking YouTube, sorry.
Robby (25:47):
Yeah, 909 videos on YouTube right at this moment.
George (25:50):
There you go.
And then how many posts on theInstagram page at a Curiosity?
It'd be up there too.
Robby (25:55):
I'll check it.
George (25:56):
Yeah.
Robby (25:57):
So we usually do four four posts per episode, four
four to five.
So there's six hundred andeight posts.
On um Instagram.
Instagram.
Yeah.
608 posts.
608 posts.
Yeah.
Yeah.
George (26:15):
Yes, okay, great.
I like that.
608 at episode 102.
Yeah, fantastic.
Like the so there's no and andthen there's videos that we put
out on our own social pages toothat link back to the podcast.
So there's no lack of the brandbuilding exercise, but I would
(26:35):
then go, well, this is thatself-awareness thing you just
mentioned before.
Like reassess if we're bouncingon the same spot, then why are
you bouncing on the same spot?
There's obviously somethingthere.
Because if Mr.
Beast was running this channel,what would he do differently?
If he was running and said, HeyBeast, Jimmy, let's go.
I need you just just run it.
(26:55):
No one knows.
Don't put your name to it.
What do we need to do?
Yeah.
Go.
So what would he say?
I've got no fucking idea.
I don't know, but I want to askhim now.
I want to ask him.
Maybe we need to get him on thepodcast.
But imagine that.
Imagine eventually, like thatone person, that one ticket
leads to that.
Six degrees of separation.
Robby (27:17):
Yeah.
I I still don't think it's aone thing thing.
It's probably nothing in lifeis a one thing.
George (27:22):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that's what I mean.
There's the one-hit wonderwhere it does happen sometimes.
Yeah, yeah, but that I walkedpast.
Robby (27:27):
It wasn't a one thing thing.
That's what people don't get.
They think it's because theyposted at 7 p.m.
And it's like, no, it's becauseyou posted at 7 and did this
and had this lighting and thisaudio and this timing and this
reach and this, you know what Imean?
And this person shared it, andthis happened.
And it's like the start, youknow, the the stars aligned.
Yes, yes, yes.
George (27:46):
Yeah.
Or or maybe it's a quantitything.
Maybe we do two podcasts aweek.
You drop one on on when onMonday and you drop one on
Thursday.
Is that the game?
Okay.
So is it a quantity thing?
So you do you do shorterepisodes?
Do you do longer episodes?
Yeah, you go with Joe Rogan andhave a three-hour conversation.
Yeah, 10 weeks, or they'regonna kill you kids.
I would be doing I would bedoing comp if okay.
(28:09):
So we're talking about that,right?
I'd be doing quantity as well.
Robby (28:12):
Yeah.
George (28:13):
So it has to be a volume thing too.
Cool.
Well done, man.
You've got you've got athousand videos or your six
hundred posts.
Cool, make it twelve hundred.
Stop fucking around.
Robby (28:20):
Okay, so you would focus on getting more guests on.
Yeah.
You would focus on how thecontent is being put out.
George (28:29):
I would I review it.
But I think I think what we'redoing, I think when we say we, I
think you're doing an excellentjob at that.
Yeah.
I look at the everything wepost, every single thing comes
my way.
And I'll assess it, I'll lookat it, I like the hooks, I like
the content, and I'll say, hey,this was shit, or this was
really good, or whatever it is.
So I think you're doing anexcellent job.
I'm knowledge we areknowledgeable enough to know
(28:50):
what's good and what's not.
Robby (28:51):
Yeah.
George (28:52):
In that space.
What else?
So we said guests, content,volume.
Robby (28:58):
So as in as in packaging.
Packaging.
Like how you're packaging thecontent.
George (29:04):
Yeah.
Or yes, exactly.
How you're packaging it.
Yeah.
How you're delivering it.
We don't have a LinkedIn page.
Let's set one up.
Who knows?
Like we talk about business andlifestyle.
Why the fuck wouldn't we haveone?
Okay.
Maybe that's the zinger.
Maybe that's a missing piece,one piece of the puzzle.
Um, because you we we oftenpost a lot of the videos on our
(29:26):
platforms, but it never linksback to that page.
So maybe we should look atdoing that.
What else?
Oh, that's just a small littlecontent thing.
Yeah.
Do you run paid ads?
So get paid reach?
Yep.
Because this is the target now.
We're trying to hit that.
We're going, okay, well, fuckit.
Let's start investing somemoney in this.
(29:47):
So do you go, okay, let's putout a paid ad now to start
advertising the podcast?
Let's oh, sponsors.
Let's reach out to people.
So then we can go, cool.
Do you want to be a sponsor ofThe podcast and you pay a
thousand bucks, two thousandbucks a month, and then you use
that money to then go and runads.
Not to go and buy a nice newtablecloth or a new a neon sign
(30:09):
that actually changes colours.
What's wrong with thetablecloth?
No, I'm saying another one.
Okay.
Another white one.
Top tier.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's another one.
Egyptian silk.
Yeah, that's right.
I wouldn't do anything else.
Robby (30:20):
Did you iron this before you put it down?
Me, I did iron this.
Yeah, of course.
You know, see that all thecreases are they're gone.
George (30:27):
Well, when we first got it, it's fucked.
Robby (30:29):
There's a bunch of squares.
George (30:31):
Um, yeah, sponsors.
Yep.
All right, so I'd look at thatbecause the sponsor would then
get a shout out.
So the sponsors are gettingpaid reach.
The sponsors covering the paidreach.
Paid reach.
Yeah.
Like, let's use that money.
I mean, this like again, thiscosts us money.
This podcast costs you and memoney to put together every
single week.
But we do it because we see thelong-term value and benefit of
(30:54):
doing this.
And regardless, this has been agreat brand building exercise.
This has been a good move byus, I believe, in the space that
we're at.
Okay, if we were sweepingfloors every single day and we
didn't want to build a brand,then this probably wouldn't be a
good move.
But this is a great buildingband brand building exercise.
And everyone should be doingstuff like this, whether you're
going to be a guest on one orwhether you're going to start
one, whatever.
But I'd look at sponsors andthen I would look at running ads
(31:17):
for it too.
Okay, so paid reach.
Yeah.
And maybe even assess, okay,let's go back again.
Um, planning the actualpodcast.
So maybe, you know, if you'vegot to cut down a hundred trees
in the forest, the lumberjack isgonna spend, and you've got a
week to do it, the lumberjack isgonna spend five days
(31:37):
sharpening his axe.
So maybe we need to sharpen ouraxe.
Maybe we need to go, right,let's have a pre-meeting before
the podcast.
This is what we're gonna talkabout.
These are the topics, these arethe direction that we're gonna
go.
This is segment, this is thefirst 15 minutes.
At this point, we're gonna do acall out.
Everyone subscribe.
At this point, we're gonnamention our sponsor.
(31:58):
At this point, we're gonnapause.
At this point, we're gonna swapseats.
Like, I don't know, whatever.
Robby (32:03):
So we'll swap seats here again.
Fuck, that's that'll mix shitup.
Um, yeah, so uh a little bitmore.
This is very, it is veryfreestyle.
George (32:15):
Yeah, yeah, without a doubt.
Yeah, exactly.
We we come in here and we talk.
It has been a little bit morestructured over the year, like
over the months, a little bitmore.
Because we saw the need.
I think yeah, I think we sawthe need for that too.
We used to just come in andwalk in and just go, cool, let's
just talk about anything andnot even tell you the topic
we're gonna talk about and justfreestyle and go from there.
But maybe that's an element ofokay, we're gonna have this,
(32:37):
we're gonna have the rightlighting, we're gonna have, you
know, you get like as um SteveBartlett does, they'll go and do
research on their client.
What's their favorite smell,their favorite music, their
favorite drink, and haveeverything ready for them so
that when they sit down, it's agreat conversation, they're in a
comfy and safe place.
Robby (32:54):
Yeah.
Um, okay, so more structuredcontent.
George (32:58):
Yeah.
Robby (32:59):
More plan pre-planning.
George (33:01):
Pre-planning of the actual podcast itself as well.
Robby (33:04):
Yeah.
Anything else?
George (33:10):
Given that you've put me on the spot, yeah.
I'd say they're the the onesthat I would look at first.
And I can't think of anythingelse off the top of my head
right this second.
Robby (33:19):
Yeah, the only thing that I think that's a great list.
I think the only thing I wouldadd to that is I would go and
look at what's gotten us themost subscribers.
George (33:29):
So would you look at topics spoken about?
Everything.
Robby (33:31):
Topics, um topics and types of content.
Yeah, I mean, like what's thething that's gotten the most
engagement that's got, and thenI would go and talk about those
topics.
And I would say, cool, likelet's go and have a real
structured conversation aroundthe types of topics and have a
real structured approach withhow we distribute the content
based on data, not just uh whatwe've done.
George (33:57):
Yeah, without a doubt.
I think that's I think that'sreally important because this is
this is what we're saying.
This isn't our number onething.
It's like our it's our side.
Robby (34:07):
I preface that because well, do you want to do it?
Do you want to hit a thousandbefore Christmas?
George (34:12):
Yeah, I think this is great.
I think this is a great topic.
Yeah, I'm I've actually have alevel of motivation since you've
said that.
Let's go to a thousand.
Let's try and hit a thousand bythe end of the year.
Now, we may do some of thosethings, we may do all of those
things.
Who knows?
But I reckon it's a really goodtarget to try and hit.
Okay.
So then I agree with the topicsthough, uh, and the
(34:34):
conversations that you have too.
Because it it just sparksconversation when you're talking
about controversial topics ortopics that are near and dear to
people.
I think that's important.
Like if we spoke aboutpolitics, religion, war, they
tend to be hot topics in acrossthe world.
(34:56):
And across the country.
Robby (34:59):
Yeah, you're done wrong.
Um so are we doing this?
No, I think we should give it acrack, yeah.
George (35:05):
Publicly announcing it.
Yeah, absolutely.
Yeah, we're trying to get to athousand followers.
Uh subscribers, sorry.
Now we're talking aboutsubscribers on YouTube.
Like from a oh on YouTube?
Robby (35:14):
Yeah, the uh So let's direct it.
Yeah, there's no way this ispublicly accountable.
There is no way for people tosee how many oh there is, like
there's uh software that'll doit, but you can't see how many
subscribers we've actually goton Spotify.
Oh, on Spotify, sorry.
On YouTube again.
Yeah, on YouTube.
That's what we're doing.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
YouTube's publicly uh publiclyaccountable.

Robby (40:44):

George (40:49):
And we haven't, oh man.
Look at that.
What value.
What value.
Uh, I'm excited to go to Perthas well.
First time I've ever been toPerth, let alone doing an event
there.
So I'm looking forward to goingthere.
We're actually going at thesame time as the Ashes cricket
is on.
Did you know that?
I know you didn't know thatbecause you had it penciled in
your calendar because you are amassive Chris cricket buff.
Who's your favourite cricketplayer?
(41:10):
Uh Steve Warren.
Christiard.
Robby (41:14):
Chris Jard, yeah.
George (41:16):
Um, so yeah.
What was I saying?
Yeah.
Um do you like cricket?
Oh, I used to play as a kid.
That's horrible.
Come on, man.
I just don't like it.
I actually stopped playing inunder 18s, uh, after under 18s,
because it went from 50 overs to80 overs, and it was just I
couldn't I couldn't be botheredstanding out there for 80 overs
(41:36):
um to field and then to bat andthen to watch.
So it was great when you'reactually doing something, as in
batting or bowling, but when youwere fielding or watching
people bat, it wasn't as great.
So I gave it up when it turnedinto seniors, but I enjoyed it
when I was a kid.
It was good in that instance.
Uh, but coming back, so yeah,the ashes is on at the same time
that we're there, which is agood thing.
(41:56):
I think lots of people will bein Perth and and watching the
cricket, but the accommodationwent through the roof during
that time.
It was like I looked at thecasino just out of curiosity
because one of my mates said togo stay there, and it was $2,000
a night just for us like asingle room.
So I think we're lucky to getum we got the accommodation that
we did and the flights that wegot as well.
(42:18):
Uh cool.
Yeah, so get to the BuilderSummit.
Look forward to seeing youthere.
It's gonna be a great day outand the last training for 2025.
So, with all that said, there'sa huge level of consistency in
showing up each and every day todo that.
Because there's no guaranteethat in by Christmas we're gonna
(42:39):
have a thousand, by next year,we're gonna have five thousand,
by the year after, we're gonnahave a million, unless we show
up and unless we're consistentand dedicated and doing all the
things that you need to do.
So look at your business rightnow.
What marker do you want?
Like, is it more money?
Like, are you are you driven bymaking money?
And can I be perfectly clear?
There's nothing wrong withthat.
There is nothing.
(43:00):
So many people have a negativeattachment to money.
I want to make, and I'll openlysay it, as much I want to I say
this at events, I want to makeso much money that people are
offended by it.
That's much money I want tomake.
People get offended by how muchmoney I make, then I know I'm
making enough.
That's a weird outcome.
Robby (43:17):
Yeah.
George (43:17):
But as in, I'm trying to just show an extreme.
Robby (43:20):
Yeah, yeah.
George (43:20):
That's all.
I'm not saying that's my goal,just to offend people by pulling
out a watt of cash and payingwith cash.
No, just in the sense of you'vemade you've making a lot of
money to go, oh, he must be, hemust like that must be drugs.
It's the only way I could havemade that money.
Or it must be he must be havedone something so wrong and
illegal that it's the only wayhe could be successful.
(43:42):
So but you want people to thinkthat no, no, I don't want, I
don't couldn't care less whatpeople think.
I'm not doing it for anyoneelse.
I'm just saying to the I'm justtrying to use that extreme
example, that's all.
Um, but no, like I've got I'vegot a positive relationship with
money.
I want to make as much of it ashumanly possible.
I see it as a I I realize thatit's a tool.
(44:03):
I can use it to do things anddo great things in this world
for myself, for my business, formy employees, my clients, and
for everyone in the ecosystem,for others.
Um it's a good tool to use andto help and to promote.
So that's what I want to,that's why I want to make so
much of it.
Robby (44:21):
Um, what else can we offer our listeners to share
this?
What else could we do?
What else could we I feel likewe need to give them a yeah?
George (44:32):
So what would make it a no-brainer for them to actually
because look, I get it.
You're listening to this now,for you to pull out your phone
and then go into YouTube andthen type million dollar days in
the search bar if you don't goto the link and then find it and
then click on the page and thenclick subscribe.
I get that.
That's difficult.
Robby (44:51):
That's it.
You just made it sound ununbelievably hard.
Exactly.
I might I might unsubscribe.
Fucking Jesus.
George (44:57):
But that's what it is, though.
You know, you have seconds toteach to get people's um
attention, and and especially inthis day and age with how
social media is driven, it'slike the three-second clip or
under a second before you evenengage in a post.
So for them to stop and get outof the app that they're in or
just pick up their phone to dothat, where's the payoff?
(45:18):
What's the the result and thereward for them to do so?
Where how do you make it ano-brainer for people to do
that?
Robby (45:25):
Should we do a giveaway?
Yeah, you could.
For anyone who subscribes fromthis episode onwards.
Okay.
Between now and Christmas.
George (45:35):
So now and Christmas.
Should we should we make somehandbands and get send them a
hand van?
Robby (45:40):
Definitely not.
George (45:41):
Definitely not doing that.
Guys, cut that out.
Robby (45:43):
Cut that part out of the episode, and I'll do it again.
So, should we do a giveaway?
George (45:48):
Is that bad?
Should we do is that offendedby the hand van?
Shit.
Robby (45:52):
Well, you're not getting one of those.
Yeah.
Well, you're not gonna get ahand van.
Um something to think aboutthough.
You know, maybe we will putsomething together that um that
am I wearing a million dollarsout now?
George (46:06):
You might run one.
Am I wearing one?
No, one click.
Okay.
But there's one behind you ifyou want to go grab that off the
shelf.
Robby (46:12):
Oh, I almost pulled the cable out.
George (46:14):
Um I'm not gonna grab it, but you can probably see it
in the frame, can you?
Right.
Oh, there you go.
There, good, what a life.
Can you see it?
Yeah, you can point to it.
Up, there you go.
But the only way you would beable to see that is if you're
watching this on YouTube.
Robby (46:29):
Exactly.
So to see that bit, make sureyou get onto YouTube, subscribe.
We're gonna aim to hit 50 newfollowers, subscribers every
single week.

We'll update you with what itwas at at the time of recording,
which will be slightly off, butit'll be close enough to get
you updated.
Or if you're really, really uha fan, you can check it when the
(46:54):
episode comes out, and you canbe like, let's see where they're
at now.
You know what I mean?
I mean, do drum roll, please.
Don't used to play drums.
You did?
Yeah.
George (47:05):
Used to play drums and could get yeah, but at the same
time, wasn't on there justjamming whilst we're having a
bowl or a bat.
Uh, yeah, I used to play drums.
I learned in high school, and Idon't know if you knew this.
Fun fact, I was in a band.
I knew that.
Did you do that?
Yeah, try and embrace memory.
Robby (47:21):
Do you know what the band was called?
Uh fat controller.
George plus three.
The fat controller.
The fat control.
George (47:28):
Shout out to the boys.
The fat controller.
The fat controller from youknow Thomas the Tank Engine.
unknown (47:34):
No.
Robby (47:34):
You never watched Thomas the Tank Engine?
Yeah, well, I don't know whothe fat controller is.
He's the fat controller.
He's the guy on the controller.
George (47:43):
Um although in this day and age, I don't think they're
allowed to call him.
There you go.
They've got to call him the bigbone controller.
Robby (47:49):
Do you have any content out from the band?
George (47:51):
I've got a I've got an I've got a few videos.
There's some videos online.
Are they on that?
They're on Facebook.
So if you search the fatcontroller on Facebook, I think
we used to actually have aFacebook page.
I think.
Fuck.
I I don't even know if itexists anymore.
But maybe I'll chuck a um anold school clip on, but it was
filmed on a you know, Nokia3310.
Robby (48:10):
Nothing on YouTube?
George (48:11):
No, I don't think.
No, it's definitely not onYouTube.
The fat F-A-T?
Yeah, not PH.
Come on, then.
Yeah, so uh I was in a band.
Fun fact.
Played the drums uh with myother mates, keys, bass, two
guitarists, and a lead singer.
Robby (48:28):
Bit of fun.
Bit of fun.
Okay, there you go.
If you didn't know, now youknow.
Um anything else you'd like toadd to episode 103, George,
before we ask our loyallisteners to we're gonna ask you
to subscribe on every singlelife platform.
George (48:51):
But no, no.
Anything else?
Oh, sorry, on goals YouTube.
Yeah, so you go onto YouTube,yes.
Yes, yes, yes.
Um, yeah, okay, so goal, okay,set yourself sell yourself a
target for the rest of the year.
Because as we said, there'sonly 11 weeks left.
What's your target now?
What metrics are you going tobe following?
What metrics are you going tobe tracking?
And hit them.
Robby (49:12):
Even a touch before that, what's the one area in your for
the year that you don't feellike you've really pushed in the
right direction?
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
And it's like, what's that foryou?
Yeah.
And what are you gonna do tomove that number?
George (49:33):
Because here's the thing, eleven weeks isn't a lot
of time.
It's not.
But here's the other thingeleven weeks is more than enough
time.
It's ages.
Fucking ages.
All right.
So get to work.
Get to work.
Stop making excuses.
You know, we always live in ourcomfort zone.
Robby (49:49):
Yeah, what's the metric?
Is it your weight?
Is it your revenue?
Is it uh how much you saved up?
Is it how many trips you wenton?
Is it whatever it is for you?
Do you know what I mean?
Is it how many restaurants youate at?
Is it uh uh how much time youspent with your kids?
What's the number that you wantto push for the rest of the
(50:09):
year?
And what can you do over thenext 11 weeks to be super
consistent with it to make surethat you and and set you know
dude if we if we hit a thousand,I think that's quite
significant in the sense of youknow, a hundred and two episodes
to hit this and then a hundredand thirteen episodes and we've
(50:33):
doubled that would be great.
Yeah, exactly.
Um, and I think people need toset themselves a goal that where
if they hit it, that'd be likeI'd be pretty happy with that.
I'd be very happy with that.
George (50:46):
Absolutely, yeah, absolutely.
Excellent.
