I remember starting my first business and feeling like everything was on my shoulders. Retirement, insurance, writing myself a paycheck (when I could)… I kept wondering how everyone else was doing it! Because $5,000 in revenue was not $5,000 in the bank. But what I didn’t understand was the difference between a money machine and
One question I hear all the time… If you had to start all over and build a million-dollar business in 2024, how would you do it? And today, I’m going to answer it alongside my good friend James Wedmore. If you don’t know James, his online course business has over $80 million in sales, he
We all have insecurities and negative patterns we fall into like guilting or victimhood. This can take the form of thoughts like, “Why am I not ‘there’ yet?”, or, “What’s wrong with me? Why Can’t I figure this out?” It’s especially easy to fall into these thoughts and emotions when starting something new like a
As a business owner with over 1,000 students in my programs at any given time, we’ve built a team of go-to coaches who are in the know when it comes to our teachings and what students need. Our senior coaches work with students each day. They know what’s working, what’s not, and how to help
Students often ask me to help them with their messaging on an opt-in page, and when I ask what it’s converting at, they say 40%. My response? Nope, that opt-in page does not need help. Uncovering what’s working with your messaging and what’s not is HUGE in your business. Because otherwise, you’re wasting time and
You’ve heard me talk about educational content quite a bit and how it shouldn’t be 100% of the content you put out there. But it does play an important role in your messaging when you do need to teach, like in webinars or a percentage of your social media content. For my students, many get
Imagine using only a few sentences to help your audience understand the root cause of their problem and see you and what you provide as the solution. You’d know what to say and when to say it to build the bridge between the problem and your solution, ultimately bringing in more sales. This is the
If you feel like results aren’t coming fast enough, you’re missing something and doing all the right steps, other people are saying the same thing as you and getting better results, and you’ve been teaching things you know can help people, then this episode is for you! I’m discussing a messaging tool I don’t cover
The better you communicate, the stronger your messaging will be, and, more importantly, the better your relationships will be in life. I believe this to my core. The more I’ve worked on communication, the stronger my relationships have become with my wife, my parents, my friends, my coworkers, and so on! My students share the
When it comes to marketing and how to sell more, how to create more engaging content, and how to write better copy one vital piece people often miss (and I’m seeing it now more than ever) is AWARENESS. It’s one of the most powerful tools when it comes to effective messaging, and in this episode,
Ever feel like going viral is just luck? Spoiler alert: it’s not. Over the past year I came out of a personal fog into a world where AI copycats flooded every niche—and my sales flatlined. Then I stumbled on a simple truth: great content follows a science. Back in September I launched a grounded parenting
Yes, you read that title correctly. I stopped selling my flagship messaging programs. And no, they’re not gone forever—I just hit pause. After a tough divorce and burnout from answering the same questions week after week, I realized something huge: the market shifted, AI exploded, and my passion took me in a new direction. Instead
Ever posted your most insightful, five-years-in-the-making content only to hear crickets? Then, out of nowhere, a silly park video you threw together explodes overnight? It’s maddening when deep expertise feels invisible and surface-level stuff blows up. Today on the podcast, I’m exposing why knowledge alone won’t skyrocket your following and revealing the three psychological triggers
We’re living in an AI gold rush: some entrepreneurs worship it, while others call it a fad. Which camp are you in? Are you blindly clicking “generate” on ChatGPT and wondering why your content falls flat? Or dismissing AI altogether as the latest gimmick? I learned this by building my parenting brand on TikTok. I
Ever wonder how I’ve gone 15 years without a traditional job and still pulled in an estimated $10–20M? Back in college, I was building and flipping humor websites (one sold for $2K, another for $4K). Then I created, hit 100K uniques a month, and sold it too. No degrees. No bosses. Just hustle. Today on
Ever thought your Instagram or TikTok feed is secretly coaching you? I did when I dug into why our parenting brand posts were blowing up and realized the algorithm had mapped my every desire, belief, and blind spot. I saw content on healthy relationships, mountain biking, quantum physics, even how to handle judgment after divorce,
