What happens when real estate gets tough, marketing costs soar, and AI changes the game overnight? In this week’s episode of the E Forge Podcast, host Cory Long flips the mic on a legend in the real estate and podcasting world, Scott Carson. Known for building a powerhouse education business around note investing and producing over 2,000 podcast episodes, Scott shares how he’s stayed ahead in a rapidly evolving digital world where visibility is everything.

Cory and Scott dive deep into what most investors miss about distressed notes, how to market like a pro (without a massive team), and how AI is reshaping how people find experts and build trust online. From crafting high-leverage content systems to building credibility in the AI-driven search world, this episode is packed with practical, battle-tested strategies.

Scott also unpacks his journey from traveling speaker to online educator, why most entrepreneurs fail at marketing, and the tools he uses to produce high-volume, high-impact content in just a few hours a week.

Key Takeaways:

→ You must shift from reactive to proactive marketing, make it your first priority, not your last.

→ AI is now determining visibility, if it can’t find you, neither can your audience or customers.

→ Repetition and relevance beat flashy trends, consistency builds authority over time.

→ A three-hour content system can fuel every platform: podcast, YouTube, social media, blogs, and newsletters.

→ Define your audience deeply, know what they love, not just what they need.

“You’ve got to give away your best stuff, because if you don’t, someone’s going to go to Google and type, ‘Give me your best stuff.’” - Scott Carson
