  How To Beat The NEW Instagram Reels Jail (yes there's a new one) - 916

  Aug 31, 202637 min

  In today's episode, Brock Johnson breaks down how to beat the new Instagram Reels Jail and why skip rate is the baseline metric you need to understand first. He covers why likes aren't something to obsess over, since they mostly come from followers, most accounts have a relatively low follower count, and every non-follower viewing your content is technically a stranger, plus higher views usually bring more likes anyway. The real focus is shares, which represent views from non-followers and show up as sends per reach. He  gives the basic tip of directly asking for the share, but pairing that ask with a clear reason why or a specific person to send it to. Brock also walks through the SHARE method, simple, hook, authentic, relatable, entertaining, as a framework for building shareable content, and the TRIBE framework for what actually makes something shareworthy: timely content tied to breaking news or trends, relatable content that makes people feel seen, inspiring content that motivates, beckoning content that calls on the community to act, and edgy content built around hot takes or unpopular opinions.

  What Getting 2 Billion Views On Instagram Taught Me About Human Psychology - 915

  Aug 27, 202624 min

  In today's episode, Brock Johnson is sharing what getting 2 billion views on Instagram has taught him about human psychology, starting with the core insight behind it all: people share to say something about themselves, not about you. Shares are the number one metric because content only spreads when it becomes a tool for someone else's identity, and the most-shared posts aren't the best-made, they're the most identity-affirming. He breaks down principles like why no one is paying attention to your mistakes, why posting more and saying things again matters more than perfecting a single post, why simplicity wins, and why audiences can smell inauthenticity immediately. Brock also gets into the say-do-need gap, the difference between what people say they want, what they actually want, and what they need, and how understanding that gap shapes what you post, what you sell, and what you actually deliver. He covers negativity bias and why content framed around a mistake or a myth outperforms neutral or purely positive versions of the same idea, plus the mindset side: discipline over motivation, systems over bold moves, and the delusional optimism required to keep believing everything is figure-out-able.

  9 Instagram Post Ideas To Get 597K Views On Reels - 914

  Aug 24, 202620 min

  In today's episode, Brock Johnson is breaking down 9 Instagram post ideas that generated 597K views on Reels, giving you a practical framework you can apply to your own content calendar. He covers gamification tactics like most-liked comment contests and scavenger hunts, identity callout hooks ("keep watching if...", generational comparisons), and challenge-based content like the 1-mile-per-follower format and 20-minute daily workouts. He also walks through immediate action prompts, transformation reveals (before/after, Day 1 vs. Day 100, time-lapse builds), and teaching formats using whiteboards, projectors, and slideshows. Brock rounds out the list with lighter formats: the "who I do it for" joke angle, caveman talk delivery, and the bad/better/best structure for showing progression. Each of these ideas is built around a proven engagement mechanic, and he explains why they work from a psychology standpoint so you can adapt the format rather than just copy the trend.

  The Lazy Way to Grow on Instagram with Claude - 913

  Aug 17, 202634 min

  In today's episode, Brock Johnson is drawing a hard line on where AI belongs in his content process and where it doesn't. Claude never touches his ideas, scripts, captions, his tone, or what he actually says on camera — that's taste, and taste isn't automatable. Brock only uses AI when two things are true at the same time: He can verify the output is accurate, and people actually want the AI version of that specific task. Writing code passes that test. Writing hooks doesn't. What Claude does own is everything mechanical and repetitive that never needed a human in the first place — this is what he means by "lazy," and it has nothing to do with motivation. Brock walks through the full backend stack: Claude organizing shot lists by location and complexity, Claude Cowork driving Remotion to cut and caption footage he has already scripted and recorded, automatic file organization straight off the SD card, scheduling and format-spacing through Metricool, a repost engine that resurfaces top performers every 60–90 days, DM and comment triage sorted by urgency (not answered), true sales attribution instead of vanity metrics, and a live follower/metrics wall. None of it creates anything — it just clears the mechanical work off his plate so the only thing he's spending time on is the part only Brock can do.

  8 Mistakes Destroying Your Instagram (without you even realizing it) - 912

  Aug 13, 202630 min

  In today's episode, Brock Johnson breaks down eight mistakes that are quietly hurting your Instagram growth, even if you don't realize it's happening. He covers why deleting underperforming posts is a mistake, since bad posts can teach you just as much as your hits, and why chasing algorithm changes instead of studying your actual audience behavior keeps creators stuck. He also gets into inconsistency in posting and niche, the trap of mono-posting the same type, format, and style every time, and why hunting for hacks like hashtags and trending audio distracts from what actually moves the needle. Brock closes out with two mistakes that trip up even experienced creators: never reusing your best-performing content or reworking your flops, and misunderstanding what actually makes Stories work. He breaks down the three things Stories are built around, watch rate, tap backs, and replies, and walk through exactly which habits, like sharing feed posts to Stories or skipping engagement stickers, are working against you without you knowing it.
