Copy Chief Radio – Details, episodes & analysis

In this powerhouse episode of Copy Chief Radio, Kevin Rogers chats with Daniella Wade—a strategic copywriter and entrepreneur from Trinidad and Tobago—about what it really takes to thrive as a freelance copywriter and what it’s like to land an elite in-house gig with Jeff Walker's team at Internet Alchemy. Daniella shares her entrepreneurial journey, how she transitioned from hustling freelance gigs to becoming a valued team member in a premium direct response company, and the game-changing mindset that helped her stand out during Copy Chief’s "The Goods" competition.

In this special Behind The Copy session, I’m joined by one of the most legendary and unfiltered voices in copywriting—Chris “Mr. Moneyfingers” Haddad. If you've ever wondered how someone turns emotional pain and dark humor into multi-million dollar sales letters... Chris holds nothing back.

We go deep into the psychology of persuasion, the evolution of his infamous Michael Fiore persona, and why he thinks AI still can’t touch a human’s heart (or balls, apparently). Plus, he breaks down his most famous offer—Language of Desire—line by brilliant line.

Brace yourself. This one’s a ride.

Tom Hammaker’s life in copywriting took a radical turn last month when he was hired to become Rich Schefren’s copywriter. 

Better yet, Tom won the gig in a six-week competitive search against dozens of other copywriters – some with more than 20 years in the game. 

We called it “The Goods,” and clearly Tom has them. 

In this episode you’ll hear directly from Tom how he approached “The Goods,” his strategy for the final copy test, and what it’s like to work with one of the best marketing teams in the world, led by a bonafide legend of Direct Response.

In this episode of Copy Chief Radio, we explore the captivating world of perfume and its unexpected parallels with the storytelling engineer-turned-perfumer Helida Dodd. Helida shares insights into how creating a perfume is similar to crafting a narrative. 

I recently took 25 copywriters through the process of landing a six-figure copywriting gig. 

The Grand Prize was becoming the primary copywriter for Rich Schefren and being Chiefed by Mark Ford!

It was a one-of-kind experience (imagine Hunger Games for copywriters). Everyone survived, but no one is the same. 

Here’s what we learned, and what you need to know if you want to land the best gigs in copywriting. 

How do you build a career or a team in the Era of Large Language Models and what happens to talent development when even the lowest intern needs full-stack CMO skills?  

In this episode of Copy Chief Radio, we're going on a mind-bending ride with Aaron Winter, Founder of Dig.On, and creator of multiple nine-figure promos for Motley Fool and Agora Financial. Aaron is the hidden-hand mentor behind Dan Ferrari, Julie Hassett, Jen Adams, Ning Li, Mike Abramov, Austin Lee, Sam Woods (and even... David Deutsch?!?). 

In this episode,  we're going behind the curtain with Jason Friedman, CEO of CX Formula. Today, Jason reveals how any business can direct their customer experience to not just satisfy but to dazzle and delight. 

In this episode, Sara explains how she was able to position herself as the top choice for this contract, and how they responded to her “bombshell” after offering it to her. 

Today, we're discussing how freelance copywriters can forge profit partnerships with their clients, as emphasized by Chris Mason, to attain financial stability and success in their work.

Today I’m sharing who’s behind the problem (yeah, I’m naming names), and how I hope to change it for copywriters who have “The Goods.”
