It’s the end of the year, our 30th EPISODE, and we’re breaking down the real story of 2025: what worked, what flopped, what surprised us, and what we’re doing differently moving into 2026.
We talk mindset, metrics, repetition, trolls, analytics, income claims, and the lies creators are still being sold - and how to stay grounded when content feels heavy or discouraging.
Inside this episode:
Why content feels easier now (and what changed)
The moments we almost quit, and what pulled us back
Overthinking vs. just posting and using the data
Why posting time doesn’t matter (confirmed by platform reps)
How repetition and series content build momentum
The truth about shadowbans
Comments, trolls, boundaries, and protecting your mental space
The problem with “I made $40k in 6 days” creators
How to stay focused and rebuild your energy for 2026
This conversation will give you clarity, direction, and permission to take a breath going into the new year.

If selling feels awkward, you’re probably pitching too soon. In this episode we show you how to use a simple 4:1 value-to-offer rhythm to turn free content into paid customers, without pressure or cringe.
We cover ethical selling, how to turn comments into warm leads, and fast lead magnets that point to a next step.
You’ll learn
- The 4:1 rule (and when to switch to 3:1 or 2:1)
- Serving vs. selling—and a quick ethical checklist
- Comment reply scripts: teach → ask → invite
- Lead magnets people actually finish (checklists, quizzes, mini systems)
- Mindset + patience: income that lasts
Keywords: creator business, ethical selling, value to offer ratio, 4:1 rule, lead magnets, CTAs, digital products, warm leads, monetize your audience, Q4 strategy

In this Social Sitdown, we’re hanging out with Trevin Peterson – 8-figure Amazon FBA seller, Amazon Influencer, and founder of Viral Vue, the tool that’s quietly saving creators hours of their life every week.
This is Part 1 of 2, because there was no way we were squeezing this conversation into one episode.
**Start a Viral Vue account and use code CIRCLEVIP at checkout for 10% off for LIFE, just for our listeners!**
In this first half, we get into:
How Trevin went from cleaning dog poop and garbage cans as a kid to building 8-figure brands
Why he’s tried “every make money online side hustle” and what actually stuck
How he discovered the Amazon Influencer Program from the seller side
The mindset that keeps him testing, failing fast, and moving on instead of quitting
Why beginners struggle with investing in tools, and how he thinks about time vs money
Why he built Viral Vue for himself and his family first… and how it turned into a one-stop system for creators
If you’re in that phase of “I’ve tried a million things and I still don’t feel like I’m hitting it,” this episode is going to land hard in the best way.
And don’t forget: Part 2 drops next week, where we get even deeper into stats, tools, and what’s next for Viral Vue and the smart creators using it.

STOP posting on vibes. Plan around the life you’re actually living, holidays, launches, travel, family, and plug your offers where they fit.
In this episode, we show you how to plan calendar-first, mapping real life (holidays, launches, travel, family) into a simple two-week content plan.
We cover building a value to offer bridge that doesn’t feel salesy, how to stack formats that already work, and whitelisting/allow-listing so brand content can run from your handle without hijacking your feed.
Plus: mindset, capacity, and the one question to keep your calendar smart, not busy.
What you’ll learn
The calendar-first method (reverse-engineer the next 14 days)
Value to Offer bridge without sounding salesy
“Viral” vs. nurture (what actually sells)
Whitelisting/allow-listing basics so sponsored content doesn’t clog your feed
Mindset + capacity: build a smarter calendar, not a busier one

Dr. Guinevere Stasio, clinical doctor turned empowerment and wealth coach, shares the unglamorous truth behind her pivot from a $15K salary cut as a brand-new mom to building an aligned online business.
We talk the three-year ramp most people never mention, why chasing tactics without mindset leads to burnout, how Human Design can guide your work, and why marketing is just how you talk to people.
Key takeaways
• Your first offer is a bridge, not a destiny.
• Strategy without self-awareness stalls; embodiment drives follow-through.
• Three years is a normal ramp for a sustainable pivot.
• Email done well deepens trust because it’s conversation, not pitch.

We are heading into quarter four and brands are spending!
We break down our biggest takeaways from a JoinBrands training: think like a viewer, lead with a visual hook, and front-load the benefit so people don’t scroll.
You’ll get a fast product-demo checklist, ideal video lengths, a copy-and-paste hook bank, and a simple 7-day plan to test one product in multiple ways.
We also cover platform differences (TikTok vs IG vs Amazon) and why transparency with brands creates long-term partnerships.
You’ll learn:• The “think like a viewer” filter• Visual hooks that stop the scroll• How to front-load value and trim fluff• Product demo checklist (show > tell)• Ideal lengths for product videos (30–60s)• A 7-day product test plan you can stick to• Why honesty with brands leads to long-term deals

Holiday content gets attention, but it doesn’t have to drain your wallet.

Free/low-cost tools to edit and refresh last year’s clips (Canva, CapCut, native editors)
Smart ways to repurpose top-performing posts from previous seasons
Natural, non-pushy ways to sell during the holidays (save time, reduce stress, gifting help)
Social Spotlight: seasonal/trending audio formats that come back every year (yes, Mariah Carey and Thriller).

Trying to show up on every platform can turn into a full-time job... unless you know how to Repurpose and Repost!
In this week's episode, we walk through a sustainable multi-platform strategy: the difference between repurposing and reposting, where your content actually belongs (and where it doesn’t), and how to choose a core platform before you expand.
Circle Hack: Repurpose.io — the automation tool we use to push clips and episodes across platforms and even grow YouTube without posting natively.
Repurpose.io automatically takes your content from one platform and posts it everywhere else, saving you hours every week. Try it here: https://repurpose.io?fpr=311209&fp_sid=tsc
What you’ll learn:
• Repurposing vs. reposting (and why results differ)
• Picking your core platform and building out from there
• Trend adaptation across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube
• Simple tool stack: Repurpose.io + a scheduler (Buffer/Later/Hootsuite)
• Scaling tips from our Skool community: plan one month ahead, batch, automate, outsource smartly
Inside the VIP Circle: “How to Scale Content Production” playbook; content calendar template, workflow ideas, and repurposing prompts you can use this week.
Action step: audit where you’re posting, cut the excess, and let systems do the heavy lifting.
