GOF 12-12-25 adding B-Roll and SoundFX

Short-form video is brutal right now. You already know that. You’re scrolling. Everyone else is scrolling. And somehow you’re supposed to compete with brands that have studios, editors, and budgets that feel infinite. In this episode of The Deep Dive, we pull back the curtain on what actually works now — and what will still work in 2026 and beyond. This isn’t another “make more content” pep talk. We walk through a real, end-to-end production workflow that turns simple talking-head videos into high-retention persuasion engines. The kind that keeps people watching past the eight-second danger zone… all the way to your call to action. You’ll hear: Why most short-form videos fail before the offer is ever seen How strategic B-roll + sound design flips a video from “informing” to persuading The exact AI stack used to script, voice, animate, and scale videos without burning time or budget Why “random B-roll” is killing your retention — and what to do instead The real reason pacing, captions, and micro sound effects matter more than fancy visuals How tools like SubMagic are quietly deciding when viewers stay… or swipe We even unpack a real client example (yes, a hot tub installer 😄) to show how boring, everyday services can produce scroll-stopping content when the structure is right. If you’re a solopreneur, agency owner, or marketer who’s tired of: Posting videos that go nowhere Losing viewers before the CTA Feeling outgunned by bigger brands This episode will change how you think about video forever. 🎧 Listen now and see why the future isn’t about making more videos — it’s about building machines that persuade for you, even while you’re offline. 👉 Want the full workflow? https://www.geekoutfridays.com/products/geek-out-fridays-mastermind-training-series/categories/2156063881/posts/2193230986
