Episode #236: Jordan Hinsch
Jordan Hinsch — Never Jordanary (Blogger & Travel Creator) Jordan Hinsch is a native New Yorker turned Miami-based sales and business development pro who channels his “thoughtful risk-taking” into a thriving travel-and-lifestyle blog, Never Jordanary. By pairing a steady W-2 career in commercial real estate and live events with smart side hustles, Jordan shows how creators can build durable income streams without abandoning stability. A data-driven marketer, avid traveler (39 U.S. national parks and counting), photographer, and paddleboarder, Jordan built an audience with practical, list-style posts (“weekend getaways,” “best paddleboard spots”) and an authenticity that attracted brands—while staying selective about partnerships. Key Takeaways: Thoughtful risk-taking beats reckless leaps. Jordan plans moves analytically—even taking a career pause to realign—while keeping the benefits of a W-2 (income, insurance) as a strategic base. Blogs are real businesses. Listicles and evergreen guides are highly consumable and can monetize through AdSense and affiliate links—if you publish consistently. If a post ranks, hands off. Resist the urge to “improve” a winner; unnecessary edits can tank SEO. Avoid year-stamped titles that age out fast. Make time your advantage. Treat a “half-day” like 12 hours and squeeze value from your 1,440 minutes—create, learn (he’s tackling Portuguese), and still leave room to unwind. Never run out of first times. New experiences keep life, relationships, and business fresh—whether it’s a new workout, a date spot, or a bold travel itinerary.

Episode #222: Evan Weber – PublisherFinders.com & Experience Advertisin
Evan Weber (PublisherFinders.com & Experience Advertising): Ads That Click, Affiliates That Scale Evan Weber is a 20+ year digital marketing veteran who’s helped 300+ brands win with paid media, affiliate programs, and conversion rate optimization. On Clicks & Bricks, he breaks down why compelling headlines, smart tools, and residual revenue models separate the hobbyists from the operators. Evan recently launched PublisherFinders.com, a SaaS that helps companies find and recruit high-quality affiliates, bloggers, and partners—born from his decades of hands-on experience. Why he matters: Evan’s track record spans eCommerce, B2B, and B2C, and his playbook is relentlessly practical: tighten your ads, test your landing pages, add the right widgets, and retarget everywhere (with sane budgets). If you’re building a tool, an affiliate program, or just trying to make paid traffic pay, this episode is a clinic. Top 5 Takeaways from the Episode: Headlines drive cost-per-click. More clickable ad headlines push CPC down—always test multiple variations and let the platforms show you the winners. Optimize the landing page, not just the ad. A/B test headlines, CTAs, and imagery; pair it with behavior tracking (think session recordings/heatmaps) to remove friction. Retarget on every platform—lightly. Run low daily budgets across Facebook/Instagram, YouTube, Google, Pinterest, TikTok, and web display to stay visible without overspending. Affiliate strategy: chase residuals. B2B/SaaS affiliate programs with monthly commissions create true “semi-passive” revenue; one-time eCom payouts rarely do. Build tools, not just campaigns. Subscription software solves real problems and compounds revenue—spec it tightly, avoid scope creep, and combine vetted dev teams with strong product leadership.
