  #191: Every Time I Broke My Own Process, I Got Burned

  Sep 21, 20269 min

  Chris Hanna is talking money in this one. Specifically, the people who owe him and have decided not to pay. The studio has a simple setup. 250 dollars, 90 minutes, walk out with raw footage. Book and prepay through the website. Clean process. Then Chris broke it for people he knew, people he figured were good for it, and let them pay after the session instead. Some paid part. Some paid nothing. Some he is still chasing. Then the bigger version of the same mistake. Thousands of dollars' worth of work delivered before final payment to companies and people with genuinely great reputations in the community who stopped responding. In this episode: Why the low-ticket work causes more stress than the high-ticket work What happens when you extend trust to someone you know instead of running your process One client who promised payment months ago, went quiet, and is now spending money to build the same capability internally. The cash flow hit when you have already paid a subcontractor for work you were never paid for What his studio landlord said that reframed the whole thing: they are not withholding their money, they are holding yours Sitting in a networking room hearing people praise someone who is stiffing you, and why he will not throw them under the bus. Thewrite-offf question he still has not answered What the process looks like from now on, with no exceptions Chris is clear about where the blame sits. The people who did not pay made their choice. But he broke his own rule to let them. New policy, said plainly: you want something done, you pay. No payment, no delivery.

  #190: The Rule That Worked For Years Just Stopped Working

  Sep 14, 202612 min

  For years Chris Hanna had a rule. Every time leads dipped, he could trace it back to a dip in his posting. Slow down for two or three months, and the next two or three months would be quiet. Post more, and the business came back. This year he tested that rule harder than he ever has. Three to four posts a day across every channel. Thirty to fifty pieces a week. And the leads did not come. This episode is Chris troubleshooting his own business in public, without a tidy answer at the end. In this episode: The two channels that built the business: posting daily and showing up in person, with speaking layered on top Why he scaled back networking, and what changed in the rooms he used to get value from What a heavy travel year did to his thinking about consistency The possibilities he is weighing: algorithm shifts, more competition, and a race to the bottom on price locally Website companies now selling video, and what that says about the market Why the same advice is still working for his clients but not for him right now The 80 percent conversion tactic that stopped converting, and what he thinks changed Why ads are not his lane, and why he refuses to hand outreach to a vendor Two months of DMs and cold emails he hated doing, and what came of it The honest split Chris lands on: either the rule expired, or posting was never the real mechanism and it was just correlated with something else he was doing back then. He does not know which yet. He is building a new approach and has already worked out how he will measure it. Not sharing it yet. If what used to work in your business has quietly stopped working, this one is for you.

  #189: The Problem With My Own Offer

  Sep 7, 202610 min

  All In Content has sold done-for-you services since day one. Ideas, recording, coaching, editing, captions, thumbnails, scheduling, posting. As hands-off as it gets for the business. In this episode, Chris Hanna says out loud something he has never talked about publicly: the clients who lean on that hardest are often the ones getting the least out of it. He walks into a batch session with 20 to 40 ideas prepared, hooks written, bullet points ready. Some clients take it and run with it, add their own angle, push back, make it theirs. Others just read it verbatim. No pushback, no clarification, nothing added. It looks like trust, and Chris appreciates the trust, but he thinks it hurts the business paying for it. His take: content is dramatically better when the business actually cares what it is putting out. Which means his own offer works best on the clients who refuse to fully lean on it. In this episode: What done for you actually covers at All In Content, and the one piece it can never cover Why a client's opinion beats Chris's opinion every time, because they live in the business day to day The consultation where a prospect said figuring out what to talk about was Chris's job What checking the box looks like from behind the camera, and why the content ends up flat Why "I'm out there" is not a result The onboarding changes Chris is considering to force more collaboration Why he is not changing the offer, just being honest about its limits Chris is not walking away from selling done for you. He is stating publicly that it has to be done with you. Next week he is getting very transparent about something in the business he thinks is broken.

  #188: Am I Still a Good Leader?

  Aug 31, 202612 min

  Chris Hanna led, hired, trained, and promoted more than 500 people across his career. He was known as a good leader. He coached other leaders for a living. So why can't he delegate a single task inside his own business? This one is honest to the point of uncomfortable. Chris walks through the pattern he has been wrestling with for months: every time he hands work to someone else, he ends up doing more work, not less. Nine people have worked with him at different points. Local, remote, virtual assistants. The same thing happened every time. The part that really got him thinking: his team member has been on vacation for two weeks, and he is more caught up and further ahead on every project than when they are there. In this episode: Why leading people inside your own business is a completely different job than leading people for someone else The corporate supports, processes, and buffers that made him look better at this than he might actually be What happens when clients recognize work you did not personally do Why he told a client yesterday that he may not be the right person to give leadership advice anymore The solopreneur trap, and why going fully solo caps what he can build Whether contractors are the answer instead of permanent team members What he is seeing behind the scenes with other business owners facing the exact same problem No resolution on this one. Chris is building in public and this is a live argument he is still having with himself. If you have wrestled with whether to hire, who to hire, or whether to just do the work yourself, this will sound familiar. More episodes like this are coming. Chris is going fully transparent about what is happening in the business right now.

  #187: I Checked Off a Bucket List Item and Hated Myself for It

  Aug 24, 202616 min

  The World Series of Poker was on Chris Hanna's list for years. He got there. He played a lot of tournaments. And he spent most of the week frustrated, tilted, and disappointed in himself. Not because of the results. Because of everything he decided before he went and then didn't do. He had a plan. Eat well. Get in shape. Sleep properly. Study more. Skip the drinking. Play a specific way. He failed every one of them, and then sat down at tables full of people who hadn't. This episode is about what that week actually taught him, which had almost nothing to do with poker. It's about the gap between the person who writes the plan and the person who has to execute it, and why that gap shows up in your business the same way it shows up at a table. In it: Why tilt is a discipline problem, not an emotion problem The commitments he made to himself and how quickly they fell apart What it costs to get the opportunity you wanted and waste it How the same pattern plays out in a business: good intentions, no system, blame the outcome What accountability actually looks like when nobody is checking If you've ever set the plan and then watched yourself not follow it, this one is uncomfortable in a useful way.
