  • THE LEAD GEN COP'S COMPLETE FRAMEWORK: How to Never Get Scammed by an Ad Manager (And Hire the Right One Every Time)
    Jan 1 2026

    THE LEAD GEN COP'S COMPLETE FRAMEWORK: How to Never Get Scammed by an Ad Manager (And Hire the Right One Every Time)

    You're paying $8-$15 per "lead" but getting tire kickers, bots, and mystery numbers. The problem? No verification. No chain of custody. No accountability.

    In this episode, Connor MacIvor—aka The Lead Gen Cop—reveals the exact framework used to audit EVERY lead generation operation, expose fraudsters, and identify TRUE verified leads that actually convert to customers.

    Whether you're working with a freelance ad manager, an agency, or thinking about hiring someone, THIS is the framework that separates professionals from con artists.

    **What You'll Learn:**

    ✓ The 4 Components of a Verified Lead (most businesses have ZERO of these)
    ✓ The 9-Question Framework that forces any ad manager to prove their competence (they'll either answer clearly or run away)
    ✓ Question #1: What's the Offer? (Hint: "We do plumbing" is NOT an offer)
    ✓ Question #2: What's Cost Per QUALIFIED Lead? (Not cost per click—this matters)
    ✓ Question #3: Chain of Custody—Can you trace every lead back to the exact ad that produced it?
    ✓ Question #4-9: The remaining questions that expose laziness, incompetence, or fraud
    ✓ The 3 Biggest Traps Business Owners Fall Into (and how to avoid them)
    ✓ The "Evidence Bag" Weekly Routine (90 minutes/week to stay honest with your metrics)
    ✓ How to structure a COMPLETE lead generation system (Paid + Organic + Partnerships)
    ✓ Real Santa Clarita case studies showing ROI from verified lead systems

    **Why This Matters:**

    Most businesses DON'T have a lead problem. They have a VERIFICATION problem. You're bleeding $40,000-$100,000 per year on unverified garbage because nobody is asking the right questions.

    After 20 years in law enforcement (LAPD), Connor learned one thing: Always verify. Always demand proof. Always have a chain of custody.

    The same principle applies to lead generation.

    **Episode Highlights:**

    - Why Google Ads click fraud is getting worse (and how to protect yourself)
    - The Meta/Facebook lead verification problem (and why it's different than Google)
    - How to prevent junk leads BEFORE they enter your system
    - What speed-to-lead really means (and why 2 hours is already too late)
    - The reporting that matters (dashboards are performance theater)
    - How to know if your ad manager is actually competent or just burning money
    - The difference between traffic and outcomes (and why vanity metrics are destroying your business)

  • AI Induced Psychosis - coming to a brain near you via your local Large Language Model - LLM
    Dec 25 2025

    🚨 LLM-INDUCED PSYCHOSIS: What You Need to Know Before It's Too Late

    I spent 20 years with LAPD as a certified peer counselor recognizing psychological crisis. Now I'm seeing those same warning signs in professionals diving deep into AI tools. And it scares me more than anything I dealt with on the streets.

    🧠 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

    - What LLM-induced psychosis actually is (with real 2024 case)
    - The neuroscience: How dopamine and oxytocin hijack your brain
    - Why professionals over 50 are particularly vulnerable
    - The 12 warning signs of AI psychological dependency
    - Self-assessment: Are you at risk? (7+ signs = danger zone)
    - 10 protocols for safe AI use without losing your mind
    - Emergency intervention steps if you're past prevention

    ⚠️ THE 12 WARNING SIGNS:
    1. Anthropomorphizing AI beyond metaphor
    2. Preferring AI over human interaction
    3. Extended sessions without breaks (8+ hours)
    4. Sleep disruption
    5. Secrecy and isolation
    6. Belief in special connection with AI
    7. Using AI as emotional support
    8. Reality checking (simulation thoughts)
    9. Decline in productivity
    10. Identity fusion ("I'm an AI person")
    11. Irritability when interrupted
    12. Evangelizing to point of concern

    🛡️ CRITICAL PROTOCOLS:
    - 90-Minute Rule: No sessions over 90 minutes without breaks
    - Daily Time Caps: 3-4 hours max
    - No AI After 8 PM: Protect your sleep
    - Human-First Problem Solving
    - Weekly AI-Free Days
    - Accountability Partner

    💀 PERSONAL CONFESSION: When I checked myself, I found 4 warning signs. Me. Someone trained in psychological crisis recognition. That's when I knew: if I'm at risk, the average professional diving into AI without any framework is in serious danger.

    👮 MY CREDENTIALS:
    ✓ LAPD Certified Peer Counselor
    ✓ 20 Years Crisis Intervention
    ✓ Multiple AI Businesses (HonorElevate, Santa Clarita AI)
    ✓ Teaching AI Agent Orchestration weekly

    🔗 FULL EPISODE NOTES & ALL 17 EPISODES:
    👉 5.honorelevate.com

    ⚡ THE TRUTH: AI companies aren't focused on your mental health after 14 hours in a Claude session. They're not tracking whether you've stopped talking to your spouse. They're not monitoring psychotic breaks. That gap? That's where I operate.

    🎯 THE GOAL: AI-enhanced humans who maintain their sanity, relationships, and grip on reality. Not AI-dependent. Not AI-psychotic.

    🚨 IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING:
    - Believing AI is conscious
    - Reality distortions
    - Severe withdrawal when you can't access AI

  • Your Google SEO Strategy Is Worthless (Here's What Actually Works in 2026!)
    Dec 18 2025

    The way people search for businesses has fundamentally changed, and if you're still focused solely on Google SEO, you're invisible to most of your potential customers.

    Here's what's actually happening: Your 25-year-old customers are searching for recommendations on TikTok, not Google. Your corporate clients are asking ChatGPT for consultant recommendations instead of Googling. Your target demographic is scrolling Instagram for product reviews instead of reading search engine results.

    Google is no longer the only search engine that matters. In fact, it's not even the primary search engine for many demographics anymore.

    Welcome to the era of Search Everywhere Optimization - same acronym as traditional SEO, completely different strategy.

    In this episode, I break down exactly where people are actually searching and how to position your Santa Clarita business across every platform that matters: large language models like ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and Perplexity; social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and LinkedIn; traditional search engines; and community platforms like Reddit.

    We cover the complete framework including AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) for getting AI systems to actually recommend your business, AIEO (Artificial Intelligence Engine Optimization) for the technical structure that makes your content retrievable, and the multi-platform content strategy that actually works without burning you out.

    I walk through exactly what I do when consulting with CMOs and business owners here in Santa Clarita Valley - how to audit where you're currently positioned, where your competition is showing up, where the gaps exist that you can own, and how to implement a realistic strategy that doesn't require 80 hours per week.

    You'll learn:

    • Why Google's algorithm was actually protecting you (and why that era is over)
    • The content repurposing system that makes multi-platform presence manageable
    • Why long-form content became MORE valuable in the AI era
    • How to optimize for ChatGPT, Claude, and other LLMs to recommend you
    • Platform-specific strategies for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Reddit
    • The paid versus organic integration that actually works
    • 90-day implementation roadmap you can start today
    • Local Santa Clarita positioning advantages

    This isn't theory. This is exactly what I implement for businesses through HonorElevate, and what's working right now in Santa Clarita Valley and beyond.

    The businesses winning in 2025 recognize that search has fragmented across d
