The Stubborn Producer: Shipping Through The Pain

We just wrapped up one of the most intense and gift-filled weeks in our community's history.

Between Chad hitting the big 5-0 and giving away his training portal, and the massive updates hitting Global Control and Letterman, the energy is high.

We are talking about the secret to building a course in a single day, why your community is the ultimate spam-filter killer, and how to use real search data to own your town.

Let’s dive in!

✅ Hustle 2.0: The Evolution of the Local Media Empire

The old way of building newsletters relied on manual layouts and guessing what people liked.

Hustle 2.0 flips the script by moving to an Articles First approach since local stories now drive 70 percent of your growth.

✅ Intentional SEO: How Smart Data Ranks Your Local Articles

✅ Automatic Unsubscribe Links

The Team has updated the entire system so that every email sent now includes an automatic unsubscribe link.

This results in total compliance for your newsletter without you having to use manual work.

✅ Micro Survey Branching Fix

Chad and the Devs fixed the issue where residents were being asked business owner questions.

Your surveys now properly sort leads based on their answers so your data stays clean.

✅ Search Engine Indexing Fix

The Devs are currently updating the "no index" toggle inside your article builder.

This gives you total control over which specific stories Google is allowed to find.

The Video agency shortcut for us Titanium users

Look, we all know we need video for our newsletters and ads, but most of us would rather do anything else than get in front of a camera.

This new platform provides a way to create professional talking head commercials and ads just by typing a script or providing a product description to AI. 

You can check out the main offer here or grab the complete bundle here if you want the best deal.

You can use these videos to land local sponsors or use them for your own lead ads or like campaigns.

✅ The Inbox Syndicate: Using Community Power to Beat Spam Filters

We are using the power of our entire community to force your newsletters into the primary inbox.

By spending five minutes every Monday to mark peer emails as not spam, we force Gmail to trust your domain.

✅ Instant Dashboard Loading

The Devs have optimized the back end of GC so that your main dashboard and lead data now load instantly.

This gives you the ability to manage your business and check your stats without the wait.

✅ Activity Top Sorting

Your contact screen now automatically pushes your most recent lead actions to the top of the list.

This allows you to see hot leads the second they engage with your email or surveys.

✅ Advanced Contact Detail History

You can now view a lead's entire history, including broadcast opens and tag actions, from a sliding window.

This results in you knowing exactly where a prospect stands without leaving your main contact screen.

✅ Gmail Connection for GC

Chad is releasing a new video showing you how to connect your personal Gmail account directly to GC.

This gives you the ability to send personal follow up emails to your hot leads right from your dashboard.

People ask for help in public every day - plumbers, vets, roofers, you name it. Referral Harvesting Method teaches you how to find those posts fast, leave one short, useful reply, and route the click so you get credit for the referral. It’s neighborly, it’s organized, and you can keep your paid lead ads running and use RHM alongside them as another way to bring people in.

✅ The Stubborn Producer Mindset: Build a Profitable Course in 24 Hours

Most people spend weeks on busy work instead of shipping, but Chad builds courses in just one day.

By teaching one simple concept at a time and bypassing analysis paralysis, you create a living asset for your business.

✅ Pricing Option Cloning

The Team added a clone button for pricing options inside your student management area.

This allows you to quickly create identical pods for batching your re-engagement emails in groups of 500.

This results in massive social proof for your courses and keeps your students motivated.

It gives you everything you need to reach the primary inbox without the technical headache.

🔥 The Stubborn Producer Mindset

This week Chad pulled back the curtain on what it actually takes to win, and it has nothing to do with being a genius. 

It is about being a Stubborn Producer who refuses to let obstacles stop them from shipping.

Chad shared how he learned this lesson way back in 1994 when he was at rock bottom.

He went on a legendary winning streak at a casino and stopped exactly at midnight because he knew he had been given his start.

This week he put that to the test by building an entire course in one day, shipping it just before the midnight deadline.

The vision for 2026 is for all of us to stop being passive consumers and start being producers who build assets every single week.

When you are a producer, you are creating a value fortress that other media companies will eventually want to buy.

What to Expect This Week or Soon:

We are seeing a massive community shift toward production this week.

By focusing on ranked articles and rapid course building, everyone is moving toward being an actual media company owner.

Keep an eye out next week for the new keyword API training and the rollout of the community publication map.

Looking forward to the next calls.

🖖 See you next week.

Real calls. Real updates. Zero guesswork.
