149. How Creators Can Hack Their Brains ...

Brayden Figueroa, Kostas Garcia, Chase Uttley
About this episode

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today, we're sitting down with the internet’s best friend, JB Copeland. If you've ever scrolled past one of his videos, chances are, you stopped, laughed, and thought, damn, that’s so true. JB has a way of capturing the little moments we all experience but never put into words. His content isn’t just viral—it’s relatable in a way that makes you feel like he’s speaking directly to you.


Whether he's breaking down life’s everyday struggles or dropping advice that actually hits, JB has built a community by keeping it real. No fluff, no fake guru nonsense—just honest, refreshing takes that make you think and keep you coming back for more. Today, we’re diving into how he does it, why his content resonates so deeply, and what creators can learn from his approach.
