In this episode, Leah sits down with author and entrepreneur Tina Koutras, whose journey took one of the wildest turns we’ve seen inside Legacy Launchpad. What started as a plan to build an audience for her upcoming book suddenly flipped into an unexpected “side quest” — launching a niche candle brand that exploded far beyond her expectations. Tina originally joined Leah’s program to fix what past programs couldn't deliver. This time she wanted clarity, strategy, and a real social presence before releasing her next novel. But while waiting for her manuscript to come back from editing, she decided to test Leah’s launch system on something smaller… a hobby she’d always dabbled in: horror-themed candles. What happened next shocked even her.   By following the program step-by-step — without skipping the “ingredients” — Tina and her husband launched Horrified Candles, tapped into a passionate 365-day Halloween/horror niche, collected over 120 post-purchase survey responses, and generated $13,000 in the first 45 days and $24,000+ within two months. And then came the plot twist: Shopify terminated their store without warning, shutting down 30+ pending transactions. Instead of quitting, they rebuilt a new site in 24 hours, got reinstated, and kept going. This episode is a must-listen for any entrepreneur who feels stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid to pivot — especially creatives and authors who want to build a loyal audience before their big launch.   In this episode, we explore: * Tina’s original goal: launching her book the right way after her first attempt fell flat * Why she chose to “test” Leah’s launch system on a candle brand * The power of choosing a hyper-specific niche (horror fans & 365-day Halloween lovers) * How she validated demand fast with pre-orders and early email list building * The 120+ post-purchase survey insights that shaped her direction * Why skipping steps in the process derails most new entrepreneurs * Shopify shutting down her store — and how they rebuilt everything in 24 hours * The mindset shift needed to push through “sink or swim” moments * How this candle brand will now feed her book launch audience * Building a 2,200+ person “seed list” before publishing * The long-term plan: cross-pollinating readers and buyers, bundles, and loyalty fans * Why every failure is “just a data point” — and how to use it as fuel This conversation is encouragement, strategy, and real-world resilience all in one.   ⏩ CHAPTERS (00:00) Introduction and Initial Setback (00:18) Welcome to Legacy Launchpad (00:32) Meet Tina: Pivoting From Book to Candles (04:21) Launching Horrified Candles (05:21) Overcoming Challenges and Achieving 5-Figure Success (12:50) Email Lists, Niche Fans & Future Book Launch Plans (18:52) Lessons on Consistency, Research & Messy Action (26:49) Conclusion and Where to Find Tina   GET HELP FROM LEAH: 💰⛏️ The Goldmine (for complete beginners): https://leahmchenry.com/goldmine/ ⚫ Apply for Mentorship & Work with Leah: https://tidycal.com/team/legacylaunchpad/strategy-chat    ❤️ CONNECT WITH LEAH: Instagram —  https://www.instagram.com/realleahmchenry/  Facebook —  http://facebook.com/realleahmchenry   

In this episode, Leah sits down with Katie Ratliff, a Catholic mom of five and founder of a faith-based gift company, for a live, real-time strategy session on simplifying her product line and stepping confidently into the premium market. Together, they unpack what it looks like to move from “Catholic gift shop” to being known for one signature, premium bracelet offer — without losing the heart for ministry, motherhood, or mission. Katie shares how she started with Catholic children’s clothing, made all the classic e-commerce mistakes (too many products, unclear niche, trying to be “just Christian” instead of clearly Catholic), and then completely shifted her business after going through Leah’s course. Once she embraced her Catholic audience, did deep-dive market research, and created her petite “saintly stacks” bracelet line, she finally saw validation — complete with Shopify “ding, ding, ding” notifications during her first pre-order launch. Now that the bracelets are proven and repeat customers are coming back, Katie is at a crossroads: keep juggling multiple gift categories or fully “hang her hat” on stackable bracelets and take them premium. Leah walks her through how to evaluate her catalog, think in terms of a marquee offer, introduce bundles and starter kits, explore higher-end materials and personalization, and even consider subscription and community-based offers that support long-term growth.   This conversation is a must-listen for any faith-driven product-based entrepreneur — especially moms — who feel torn between too many product ideas, limited time, and the desire to build a business that truly supports their family, church, and future dreams.   In this episode, we explore: Katie’s journey from Catholic children’s clothing to a thriving bracelet-focused gift brand Common “don’t do this” mistakes in early e-commerce (too many SKUs, unclear niche, vague faith branding) How clearly owning “Catholic women” as her audience shifted her marketing and growth Validating a new product with pre-orders and watching Shopify “ding” as the saintly stacks took off The difference between a “gift shop” and a signature marquee offer that puts you on the map Using bundles, starter kits, and upsells to raise average order value without overwhelming customers Quarterly product audits: how to decide what stays, what gets cut, and where your profit really comes from Moving into the premium market with better materials, personalization, and higher perceived value Brainstorming renewable and subscription-style offers, from consumables to digital community and discipleship Involving your family in the business, setting faith-filled goals (like a future trip to Italy), and dreaming big again Encouragement for entrepreneurs who feel stuck in the weeds and need clarity on their next 10 feet, not the next 5 years   ⏩ CHAPTERS (00:00) Introduction to Legacy Launchpad (00:36) Meet Katie Ratliff: Catholic Mom and Entrepreneur (01:20) Katie's Business Journey: From Clothing to Bracelets (03:20) The Power of Niche Marketing and Product Focus (04:44) Challenges and Strategies for Business Growth (07:57) Optimizing Product Offerings and Customer Experience (14:41) Exploring Premium Market Opportunities (17:17) Exploring Premium Customer Needs (17:39) Complexity as a Market Barrier (18:11) Personalization and Premium Market (20:19) Revenue Goals and Vision for the New Year (21:54) Subscription Products and Business Stability (23:37) Building a Community and Movement (28:47) Family Involvement and Business Growth (30:15) Encouragement and Final Thoughts   GET HELP FROM LEAH: 💰⛏️ The Goldmine (for complete beginners): LeahmchenryThe Goldmine - Leah McHenry ⚫ Apply for Mentorship & Work with Leah: TidycalStrategy Chat - Leah McHenry   ❤️ CONNECT WITH LEAH: Instagram - InstagramLogin • Instagram Facebook - FacebookLeah McHenry Join the Facebook group - FacebookLog into Facebook   Thanks for tuning in!
