Try remixing the Stacked Contrarian Case for your coaching business. The examples below show how a business coach for new founders and a health coach for chronic dieters would run this Instagram reel idea.
The recipe
- State the belief plainly: Open on the exact belief your audience holds, in quotes on screen, with no spoken intro.
- Stack the experts: Run one authority per card, each with a short text-overlay take that pokes a hole in the belief.
- Keep the pacing tight: Give each expert about three seconds, fast enough to hold attention, slow enough to read.
- Land your reframe: Bookend it by coming back to camera and offering your own gentle new way to see it.
Your Studio follows these beats when it writes your script.
Remix the hook for your brand
“Most who you help believe the belief they hold, but the experts you stack would all disagree.”
Your take: the experts you stack, stacked one after another, all pointing at your reframe.

Why it worked
It borrows the authority of six famous psychologists to overturn a belief the viewer holds, which is far more convincing than one opinion. The portrait-card sequence is a distinctive "educational carousel as a reel" format that reads as rigorous and save-worthy, and it ends on a gentle original reframe so it still feels like her.
Examples
Business coach for new founders
“I need to be fully ready before I launch.”
She stacks quick takes from famous entrepreneurs that each contradict it, then reframes readiness as something you build by launching.
Health coach for chronic dieters
“I just need more willpower.”
She stacks researcher perspectives that each point elsewhere, then reframes change as environment, not discipline.
