What if AI could 10x your personal brand overnight? In this episode of Dropping Bombs, I grill the co-founder/CEO of 1DS Collective—the stealth marketer who supercharged the Liver King's raw liver memes into a $100M+ empire, scaling from 0 to 1M followers in months. From compressing growth at Bevy and The Muse to launching SaaS platforms and enterprise sales machines, John unveils why silent execution trumps hype, and AI's role in spotting blind spots for 2025 leaders.
John’s blueprint: Spot revenue leaks, build health/wellness systems, and make personal brands AI-proof. Liver King war stories reveal virality moves, plus talent/media hacks and virtual expertise for mass scale. Brad probes courses vs. high-ticket: "Give away the sauce—they'll pay more." Ideal for entrepreneurs swapping luck for precision.
