A Long Way from Las Vegas

In this episode, we take a hilarious trip down memory lane – all the way back to Content Crib 1.0, our very first in-person meeting in a Las Vegas desert mansion. The location was sketchy to say the least – we’re talking questionable neighborhood and even bullet holes in the wall (seriously). Sure, the house had its quirks, but it’s where the magic began. We had a ragtag crew of content creators brainstorming big ideas amidst the chaos (and yes, possibly some bullet casings). Did someone say lasagna? Our guest Joseph still swears “the lasagna was great!” despite the Wild West decor.

Even in that unconventional beginning, our mission was clear: figure out how to “turn content into trust, attention into opportunity”. Basically, we wanted to create content that actually works – content that builds digital trust and opens real doors. Fast forward three years, and look at us now: we’ve gone from swapping ideas on a dusty Vegas patio to broadcasting insights worldwide on the Content Crib Podcast.

• Then (Circa 1.0): A handful of dreamers huddled in a desert mansion, exchanging content tips under a ceiling that may or may not have had extra “ventilation” holes. It was informal, a little crazy, but full of heart (and carbs – did we mention the lasagna? ).
• Now (Podcast Era): A growing community tuning in from anywhere and everywhere. No sketchy mansion needed – just your headphones and an open mind. We’ve replaced bullet holes with bullet points and bring that same creative energy to help you create content gold.

Meet Joseph Miller – The "Godfather of Influence"

For our first official guest ever, we pulled out the big guns (pun intended) and invited Joseph Miller to the crib. Joseph is one of the OG members who was right there with us in the Vegas days, so who better to help highlight how far we’ve come? He’s an Influence and Persuasion specialist by trade – the kind of guy who lives and breathes the art of getting people to pay attention. In fact, as he likes to remind us, “you can’t sell until you have attention” – and boy, does he know how to get it.

Nicknamed the Godfather of Influence, Joseph has been mentoring and inspiring our content crew from day one. (Picture a friendly godfather, offering content advice instead of, you know, “offers you can’t refuse.”) He’s seen the Content Crib evolve from a zany idea in a bullet-pocked house to a full-blown movement. In this episode, Joseph brings decades of sales and persuasion experience to the table, along with a suitcase full of stories from that first meetup (if those walls could talk, huh?). Expect to hear Joseph’s take on building influence in the digital age – how to grab attention, earn trust, and maybe even what he learned from dodging metaphorical bullets in those early days. His journey from a personalized video outreach junkie to seasoned mentor is nothing short of legendary, and he’s sharing the wisdom he’s picked up along the way.

Chill Vibes, Big Takeaways

True to Content Crib style, this conversation is chill, witty, and packed with value. We’ve always believed in having fun while helping others, and this episode is the perfect example. Chris and Eric keep the tone light – there’s plenty of laughter, good-natured ribbing, and maybe even a ridiculous Vegas anecdote or two – but we also dive deep into actionable insights. By the end of the episode, you’ll feel like you were right there in that mansion with us (minus the danger), and you’ll walk away with ideas to apply to your own content journey.
