Build Your Tribe | Grow Your Business with Social Media

In today's episode, Brock Johnson covers 10 recent Instagram algorithm updates and platform changes for June 2026. The most significant shift is how Instagram is weighing watch time and skip rate as the primary indicators of content quality — understanding how these metrics work together is essential for anyone trying to grow on the platform right now.

Brock also walks through the rest of the updates, including clickable affiliate links in posts, the removal of 15 million bot accounts, selfie verification, the new Instants feature, clarification from Adam Mosseri on how DMs affect reach, why deleting a post won't hurt your reach, music integration for third-party schedulers, the ability to schedule trial Reels, and the official launch of Instagram Plus at $3.99/month — which includes a notable set of new features for Stories, profile customization, and audience management.

In today's episode, Brock Johnson walks through his complete editing process for Instagram Reels, including the tools he uses and how he decides which tool is right for each type of project. 

Brock also covers why most editing bottlenecks actually start at the filming stage, and share the specific filming habits he has built that make editing significantly faster — including how he scripts, pace his takes, and use visual markers to stay organized in the timeline. 

From there, Brock breaks down my full editing stack: CapCut for desktop edits, Gling for long-form clip editing, the Edits app for trend-based and audio-specific Reels, and when he hands things off to a professional editor. 

Brock also shares a handful of practical tips for speeding up your editing workflow, including editing on desktop, working with audio on, using keyboard shortcuts, and tackling one task at a time rather than trying to do everything at once.

In this episode, Brock Johnson breaks down what he believes is the “death of valuable content” on social media — and why educational content alone is no longer enough to grow in 2026. Brock explains how the internet has shifted from valuing information to valuing attention, retention, and delivery. He also explains why many creators struggle because their content is still being delivered in boring or outdated formats, even if the information itself is useful. Then Brock breaks down the framework he uses to make educational content more engaging: the 6 A’s.

This episode is focused on helping creators evolve their content style so they can still educate while holding attention in a much more competitive content environment.

In this episode, Brock Johnson breaks down “Instagram Plus,” a new paid Instagram subscription currently being tested by Meta, and explains the 7 new features included in the rollout. He covers what Instagram Plus actually is, how it differs from Meta Verified, where it’s currently available, and why Meta may be positioning it as a low-cost utility subscription for everyday users.

Brock goes through each of the new Story-focused features individually, including Ghost Mode for anonymous Story viewing, Story rewatch analytics, unlimited custom audience lists, 48-hour Stories, weekly Spotlight boosts, animated Superlikes, and viewer search functionality. He also explains how these tools could change the way creators, businesses, and everyday users interact with Instagram Stories moving forward.

Throughout the episode, Brock shares my thoughts on which features are likely to matter most for creators, which ones could impact engagement behavior, and how Instagram may continue moving toward subscription-based features and personalization tools in 2026. This episode is focused on understanding what Instagram Plus is, how it works, and what these updates could mean for the future of the platform.
