    Nov 10 2026

    Lara Luna, author of Trailer Park Angel and host of the Trailer Park Angel podcast, joins Roy to talk about leaving a long career as a mobile home agent and following her passion. She describes life in a 55 plus mobile home park in Florida, and how everyday stories there became a funny, feel-good podcast. Lara shares how seeing angel numbers sparked a spiritual search, her morning meditation, and her book. She and Roy discuss what certain angel numbers mean, including why she says 666 is nothing to fear. Lara also explains how she produces her show, from phone voice memos to iMovie and AI-generated characters. She finishes with advice for anyone afraid to start their own podcast or put themselves out there.

    The views in this episode are Lara’s own.

  • #76 Sarah Arnold-Hall: Effortless Discipline and Why Thinking “It’s Working” Beats Willpower

    #76 Sarah Arnold-Hall: Effortless Discipline and Why Thinking “It’s Working” Beats Willpower
    Nov 5 2026
    Sarah Arnold-Hall is a high performance coach who helps entrepreneurs execute their goals without willpower or force. In this conversation with Roy, she explains how climbing Kilimanjaro taught her to release resistance, and how blogging every day for two years went from “I don’t want to, but I will” to “I want to”. She shares why she thinks “it’s working” is the best thought a podcaster can have, and how she writes down small wins to stay going. Roy talks about tracking metrics and looking for the love instead of the haters. They cover burnout, physical or emotional, and why perfectionism makes shows sound less authentic, including why leaving in the ums and pauses can be better. Sarah introduces best friend calendaring, her antidote thought method for procrastination, and why the problem is usually the transition, not the task. She also shares how she grew as a coach, why you should pick one marketing strategy and stay with it, why she makes offers every day, and how a personal video pitch builds connection faster than a one-way message. They finish with moving from New Zealand to Sydney and why changing your environment changes how you think.

  • #75 LinkedIn Strategy, Podcast Guesting, and the Metrics Nobody Tells You — with Sam Swirsky

    #75 LinkedIn Strategy, Podcast Guesting, and the Metrics Nobody Tells You — with Sam Swirsky
    Sep 13 2026
    In this episode, Roy sits down with Sam Swirsky, known online as "The Mayor of LinkedIn" and founder of Hilltop Media Partners. Sam shares the inside story of landing his role at Alex Hormozi's Acquisition.com — including the twist that he originally posted the job for his own connections before applying and beating them all to it — and reflects on what it was genuinely like working alongside Alex day to day. They dig deep into practical LinkedIn strategy: why engagement matters more than the algorithm boost, why "instruction-based" posts outperform opinion posts, the two ways content should "hurt" to actually land, and a clever tip for making custom GIFs from your own video clips. The conversation shifts into podcast guesting — Sam's own pivot into helping founders use guest appearances as source material for content — and from there into a genuinely revealing back-and-forth on why podcast download numbers lie, why the "right" show for you might have 50 downloads and be perfect anyway, and why every platform you're hosted on quietly under-reports its own numbers. Roy shares a real example of a guest-turned-business-partner going from 23,000 downloads in five years to 600,000 in three months once real strategy was applied. They close with concrete guidance on how a guest should actually position an offer on someone else's show without it feeling like a sales pitch. Timestamps 0:02 – Introducing Sam Swirsky and his background with Acquisition.com 1:49 – How Sam landed the job at Acquisition.com — recommending it to others before applying himself 4:03 – Is Alex Hormozi's "full steam ahead" persona real or just for content? 4:32 – Sam's path into LinkedIn: no college degree, COVID layoffs, and catching the platform's rise in 2020 6:07 – How LinkedIn has changed over 15 years, and the platform's constant upsells 7:54 – Why LinkedIn's own feature changes (invite limits, load-more buttons) reflect its evolving priorities 8:34 – Why some posts get massive engagement and others get crickets 8:35 – The difference between opinion-based and instruction-based posts, and why content should "hurt" in two specific ways 12:16 – Sharing podcast clips on LinkedIn: video limits, RSS tracking, and why it's still worth doing 13:34 – Repurposing podcast transcripts as LinkedIn text posts, and the "make your own GIF" trick 16:07 – The ethics of resharing other people's viral content versus creating original value 16:36 – A real example: 3 million views a month with zero resulting business 21:09 – Two categories of social growth: entertainment brands versus business brands 21:09 – Why "more views" is often the wrong goal — funnels, profile clarity, and clear calls to action 23:14 – Why your LinkedIn profile shouldn't read like a job application if you run your own business 23:14 – What actually makes an "offer" versus a vague description of what you do 26:03 – Transitioning into Sam's podcast guesting business 26:23 – Why AI-written LinkedIn content falls flat, and how podcast guesting became Sam's source-material solution 29:54 – The "spray and pray" pitching problem, and why claimed audience numbers are often fake 33:44 – Why the relationship with the podcast host matters more than the guest's own potential leads 36:16 – Roy's real example: a guest who became a client, referral partner, and business collaborator — growing from 23K to 600K downloads in three months 40:48 – Why a niche show with 50 downloads can be worth more than a "top 1%" show 44:39 – Why podcast download and listener numbers are never fully accurate across any platform 46:57 – Regional Apple Podcasts ratings, and how misreading them nearly cost Sam a client opportunity 48:14 – Getting banned from YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook for exposing fraud and corruption — and turning it into content anyway 49:52 – Why chasing distribution across every platform at once usually backfires 50:39 – Old, inflated follower counts from platforms people no longer engage with, and how some hosts misuse those numbers to justify guest fees 53:15 – How a guest should position an offer on a show without it feeling like an advertisement 55:12 – Where to find Sam and what's next for him on YouTube About Sam Swirsky Sam Swirsky, known as "The Mayor of LinkedIn," is the founder of Hilltop Media Partners. He spent time as Head of LinkedIn and Facebook at Alex Hormozi's Acquisition.com, and previously served as LinkedIn Brand Strategist for Alex and Leila Hormozi directly, breaking Alex's all-time views record in his first week. He's also worked with Justin Welsh and Tasleem Ahmad Fateh, the #1-ranked LinkedIn creator in the world. Sam now helps founders sharpen their LinkedIn positioning and build a real content funnel, and is expanding into helping founders use strategic podcast guesting to build authority and generate source material for their own content.
