Legendary NFL Owner to Coach — Nobody Cares

In this episode, Eric and Neil dive into the intersection of high-performance leadership and AI-driven marketing. They unpack the “Nobody cares, just coach” mindset, how elite teams bring solutions not complaints, and why systems should evolve like an F1 pit crew. The duo also explore lower middle market private equity lessons, AI-powered SDRs, and how AEO and AI agents are redefining SEO careers. This is a practical playbook for agency owners, marketers, and operators who lead through change.

Key Takeaways

● Leadership mantra: nobody cares, just execute
