What do you do when the thing that makes you money isn't the thing that makes you come alive?This week on The Unstuck Hour, I sit down with Chris Castanes, insurance agent, author, speaker, and podcaster, who's stuck on one specific problem: how to market the virtual side of his business.

What we uncover is bigger than insurance. Chris's real passion is speaking, and his real question is: how do I land high-paying speaking gigs?

In this episode we go deep and get practical:

🎤 Why Chris's comedy background is his secret weapon and how to weaponize it on camera

📈 A live, no-holds-barred audit of his YouTube channel (the wins and the mistakes)

💡 Real content ideas for TikTok and Instagram built around his unique gifts

🗣️ The exact path from "good speaker" to "paid speaker" by leveling up his social media presence

💰 Plus — Chris drops some genuinely useful sales tips from his years in the insurance gameIf you've ever felt like the thing you're known for isn't the thing you're made for, this one's for you.

About The Unstuck Hour:

Real people. Real problems. Getting unstuck together. Every episode, we take one person who's stuck and help them find the next step in their unique sequence.

On today's episode of the Unstuck Hour, we got to sit down with Brock in Virginia while on a film trip for the Fire Standard.

Brock Valentine spent years intentionally stepping back from the business world to rebuild what mattered most — his family. When he returned, he brought with him something rare: the kind of clarity that only comes from starting over with what’s already in your hand. Now, as an Entrepreneurial Growth Advisor and founder of Sonus 516 Enterprise, Brock helps established business owners break through revenue plateaus by unlocking the untapped value they already possess. Author of Baby Steps, Big Results, his approach is part strategy, part conviction — and deeply rooted in his belief that we need more people to win.

Mayet, founder of Visions Creative Ventures, where she helps visionary entrepreneurs get unstuck by bringing clarity to their brand, structure to their systems, and intelligence to how they use AI. Her work focuses on simplifying complexity so businesses become easier to run, more aligned, and actually supportive of real life, not the other way around. She speaks from lived experience building, rebuilding, and learning firsthand what happens when capable people get stuck not because they lack talent, but because everything around them becomes too complex. At the heart of what she does is helping people move from overwhelm to clarity, and from effort to harmony.
