Podcast: Big Chris McCombs – Build A Devout, Cult-Like, Following That Brings You Customers…

I have been trying to get this guy on the show for SEVEN YEARS, and now, he’s finally back online. He has been running a successful blog and I have to say is one of the best blogs out there. From a copywriter’s perspective, you will uncover a lot about how to write persuasive copy. 

An introverted and socially-awkward big guy, Big Chris McCombs made writing his art, and from there he became a legend. He can build a cult of devoted customers that just buy over and over again.

Admittedly, he has been one of my heroes and influences when it comes to copywriting. 

I can go on and on telling you how badass he is, but it’s better you tune in.

On today’s special 90-minute episode, Big Chris McCombs drops everything you need to grasp about storytelling – from his influences up to his wisdom in copywriting. As we talk about the foundations of our brotherhood, discover what self-aggrandizement is, the best courses to go through to unleash the storyteller in you, and so much more.
