When people say relationships are the key to business, it’s usually code for “go network more.” But this episode is the story of what it looks like when relationships are the business model — before social media, before funnels, and before most people reading this could even drive.

This is my untold scrappy startup story built on trust, reputation, and the kind of generosity that opens doors you didn’t even know existed.

WHAT’S INSIDE THIS EPISODE:

• Why my most “successful” marketing efforts barely moved the needle
• The “unicorn” opportunity that came from a decades-long relationship (and how to be ready when your version of it arrives)
• What I learned about marketing before I knew what marketing even was
• The growth strategy that was my rocket fuel (that is WAY underutilized by people in online business)
• My origin story I've never told… involving MySpace, major record labels, and street teams
• The subtle but powerful shift in how relationships serve you at different business stages
• My unfiltered take on visibility strategies that didn’t work — and the two that still matter most

Once upon a time, I hosted a masterclass that had what I thought was a terrible conversion rate — until it wasn't. Not a single person bought on the call. But in the days that followed? EVERY person who attended wound up buying.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the four-part framework I’ve used (and taught behind-the-scenes) to drive wildly high conversion rates — ethically, educationally, and without a bait-and-switch in sight. If you’ve ever felt allergic to bro marketing, or you want to sell on a masterclass but don’t want it to feel manipulative or predatory… this one’s for you.

What's Inside This Episode:

• What I was taught that made my educator brain absolutely cringe and how most webinar frameworks get it completely backwards
• My secret weapon for not only teaching, but converting sales — using learning design to teach people to buy better
• The reason I refuse to teach anything I wouldn’t use in my actual program
• The one thing I HAVE changed about masterclasses to evolve with what works today
• Why I only attract people who already believe they’re capable
• My signature take on “consent-based selling” — and how I bake it in to every sales presentation
• How you can steal this approach and build your own cash-converting masterclass

This episode is a real-time debrief of a launch that turned out nothing like I expected. I’m unpacking what I thought would be a low-lift, high-reward move and why I had to make a major, unexpected decision mid-way through.

Whether you’re in the middle of a launch, gearing up for one, or you’re starting to side-eye the whole launch model altogether, this convo is for you. I’m sharing the behind-the-scenes of what shifted for me in real time — and what I think might be shifting across the industry too.

What’s inside this episode:

• The unusual decision I made mid-way through (and what made me trust my gut)
• What had me triple-checking my links, my copy, and my own sanity
• The behind-the-scenes numbers that made me stop in my tracks
• A surprising stat that’s never bothered me... until now
• My theory on what’s really going on in the digital sales space right now
• Why I don’t think we can keep treating launch revenue as the whole sundae
