I’m Cliff, and for over two decades I’ve helped entrepreneurs, creators, and leaders launch movements, build businesses, and design lives they’re proud of. But this show isn’t just about tactics or quick wins. It’s about the shift that happens when you stop chasing and start building from alignment with who you truly are. In each episode, I share insights to help you break through limiting beliefs, align your work with what matters most so that you can take your business and life to the next level without burning out or losing yourself in the process. If you’re ready to build a business that serves your life, not the other way around, you’re in the right place.© 2025 CliffRavenscraft.com Desarrollo Personal Economía Gestión y Liderazgo Higiene y Vida Saludable Liderazgo Psicología Psicología y Salud Mental Éxito Personal

    798 - How to Keep Your Voice Human in an AI World
    Nov 10 2025

    Today’s episode is something a little different. I recorded this message from the front seat of my car (my “mobile studio”) during one of those early morning creative bursts that often come during my fall routines.

    Before we dive in, you’ll notice the audio quality sounds a little different than my usual in-studio setup. I explain why in the intro, but the short version is this: I’ve been waking up at 4:30 a.m., heading to Planet Fitness, and spending time journaling, praying, reading, and creating from that sacred space of solitude.

    Sometimes inspiration hits right there in the car, and I don’t want to wait until I’m back at my desk to capture it.

    What follows is a message I felt deeply compelled to share. It’s about something I’ve been noticing, in myself and in other creators, as AI tools become part of our daily workflow.

    We’re all starting to sound the same.

    In this episode, I talk about:

    • How AI-generated phrasing has become a dead giveaway in so much content.
    • The subtle rhythms that make a piece of writing or video sound “machine-shaped.”
    • My own experiences using ChatGPT for content creation (and where it crossed the line).
    • Why I’m returning to more unscripted, unpolished, human communication.
    • How we can still use AI as a thought partner without losing our authentic voice.

    This episode is about remembering what people really connect with: honesty, imperfection, and lived experience.

    I hope this message encourages you to bring your unpolished, unscripted voice back into your creative process.

    Until next time, I encourage you to take everything you do in life and business, and content creation, to the next level.

    797 - Stop Thinking Like a Content Creator & Start Thinking Like A Business Owner Who Creates Content (with Austin Armstrong)
    Nov 6 2025

    Today, I had an incredible conversation with Austin Armstrong, an entrepreneur, speaker, and creator whose journey perfectly embodies what it means to stop thinking like a content creator and start thinking like a business owner who creates content.

    Austin is the founder of Syllaby, an AI-powered video marketing platform that helps entrepreneurs and service-based business owners simplify content creation and stay consistent across every major platform. He’s also the author of the upcoming book Virality!, which unpacks two decades of lessons from his evolution as a creator, marketer, and business builder.

    In our conversation, we explored:

    • How Austin went from MySpace “trains” to building multi–seven-figure businesses powered by organic content.
    • The story behind Syllaby, and how a simple pivot in messaging saved the company.
    • What it really means to create systems that turn followers into customers.
    • Austin’s powerful S.T.A.R.T. Video Framework for crafting scroll-stopping, lead-generating videos.
    • The biggest mistakes creators make when chasing virality, and what to do instead.

    I loved this conversation because it’s about realizing that your content should serve your mission, not the other way around.

    Austin’s energy, humility, and depth of experience made this an enjoyable conversation. If you’re a creator, coach, or entrepreneur looking to build something that lasts, you’re going to want to listen to this one from start to finish.

    The Path Forward

    If this episode resonated with you, I highly encourage you to pre-order Austin’s new book, Virality! It’s filled with proven frameworks, practical tools, and hard-won lessons that will help you think, act, and grow like a business owner who creates content.

    795 - Can You Really Get Paid to Connect People? A Conversation with Kevin Thompson
    Oct 7 2025
    In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Thompson, a man who has built an extraordinary business around something most people only do out of kindness: connecting others. I’ve met plenty of people over the years who are natural connectors. They love introducing friends, clients, and peers to each other. Those introductions often lead to life-changing opportunities. But Kevin is the first person I’ve met who figured out how to turn that gift into a sustainable business model. Kevin’s story begins with more than a decade in the publishing world, where he grew his company through over 600 strategic partnerships. Along the way, he discovered how much joy he found in helping people meet and collaborate. For years, he did it freely, simply because it felt good to serve. But one introduction in particular, connecting marketing legends Perry Marshall and Brian Kurtz, planted a powerful seed. That connection eventually led to a multimillion-dollar event, and when Kevin was publicly recognized for being the bridge that made it all possible, he began wondering: What if I could make a living just doing this? For a long time, he battled with the ethics of charging for introductions. Friends even told him it wasn't something that anyone should even consider. But in 2017, a single conversation changed everything. A friend suggested he host a small, in-person gathering of the entrepreneurs he knew. Kevin couldn’t sleep that night. By 4:30 the next morning, he was making a list of everyone he wanted to invite. His enthusiasm was contagious. His wife offered to handle catering, and the first six entrepreneurs he spoke to said, “I’m in.” That August, Kevin hosted his first event at his home in Arlington, Washington, with 15 attendees who each paid $5,000 to be there. They spent time sharing openly, collaborating deeply, and forming meaningful relationships that continued long after the event ended. A month later, he hosted another group, and it filled just as quickly. What began as a simple idea soon became a thriving business. From there, Kevin developed an ongoing model, first through one-on-one connection work and later through group experiences that aligned more naturally with his gifts. Today, he helps entrepreneurs create five-, six-, and seven-figure business opportunities through authentic relationship-building, often earning revenue shares from the connections he facilitates. Throughout this conversation, Kevin and I explore not only how he did it, but the deeper mindset that made it possible, the excitement, confidence, and belief that magnetized people toward his vision. You’ll hear how he overcame doubt, learned from missteps, refined his structure, and ultimately built a business that’s as fulfilling as it is profitable. Insights Gained from This Episode The surprising way one powerful introduction can change the trajectory of your business and someone else’s.Why enthusiasm, confidence and conviction often matter more than a polished business plan when sharing a new idea.How imposter syndrome keeps many people from seeing the true value they already bring to others.The mindset shift from “I shouldn’t charge for this” to “People are happy to pay for the value I create.”The simple structure behind Kevin’s first $5,000-per-person event and why intimacy and authenticity mattered more than luxury or production.How to test new business ideas through real conversations before locking yourself into a plan.What Kevin learned from early business models that didn’t work, and how he redesigned them to fit his natural strengths.The importance of alignment: when the structure of your business supports the way you actually like to show up, everything flows easier.How relationships, built with integrity and generosity, can create long-term, recurring income.The power of turning what you naturally love to do into something that sustains your life, your purpose, and the people you serve.
