Fast-cut list pattern

Punchy cuts every 1-2 seconds through a numbered list. Great for educational content. High retention, high saves.

Single take, 15-30s. Founder talking head. Best for POV and contrarian takes. Lower reach, higher comments.

Continuous voiceover with cut-in visuals every 2-3s. Best for product-led content. Balances information density and watchability.

Stories are where your warmest audience lives. Here's how to convert them without being annoying.

A repeatable system for turning 30 minutes of founder interview per month into a steady stream of founder-voice content.

A non-pushy DM funnel that turns follower attention into booked calls without feeling sleazy.
