Text me! Lauren Shaw was on top of the world, taking an amazing trip in Patagonia... And then she got home, sat down at her computer… and just absolutely couldn’t get herself to do any work. She knew exactly what needed to be done. But something about the WAY she was selling (and her current program) no longer fit her life today. In this episode, Lauren and I talk about what happens when your business is technically “working,” but your energy is whispering (or SCREAMING at you), telling you ...
Text me! At the start of this year, I wanted to do something different. I decided to not think about resolutions. I really felt like I was being called to think about WHO I need to become. In this Empire Diaries episode, I’m sharing what’s actually guiding my decisions in 2026. Not a long list of goals, like basically every other year of my life and business. But an actual identity shift that’s changing how I manage my time, my energy, and Brandmagnetic. This episode was inspired by somethin...
Text me! A few days ago, I was floating in turquoise water in the Bahamas — completely alone, no noise, no phone — and I said a prayer I’ve said many times before: “God, you’re the CEO of my business. Show me the path.” And one word came through so clearly it stopped me in my tracks. Multiply. Not hustle. Not grind. Not even grit — though I love that word deeply. Multiply. In this Empire Diaries episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of the moment that shifted how I’m thinking about 2026 —...
Text me! If you’ve ever stared at your own sales page and thought, “Something here feels… off,” you’re going to love this one. In this conversation with sales page specialist Samantha Burmeister, I share the story of touring a house I genuinely liked… right up until the realtor casually repeated one tiny reason other buyers had passed. In an instant, I couldn’t unsee it — and Sam explains how our copy can do the exact same thing to dream clients when we overload the page with the wrong detail...
Text me! You know that moment when you finally hire someone… and suddenly your business feels real? Kirsten Graham has watched that happen over and over again. One of her clients told her, “Now that I have a marketing VA 20 hours a week, I feel like a real business owner.” That’s the shift this whole episode is about — moving from “I should be able to do everything myself” to “I’m building something bigger than me, on purpose.” Kirsten has been a business owner for 30+ years (real estate, mor...
Text me! This is a tiny Thanksgiving love note from my almost-gone voice — because I couldn’t not pop in today and tell you how wildly grateful I am that you’re here, listening, building, still caring this much about your work. I share why I’m choosing to believe that “2026 is already my favorite year ever” even while everyone’s talking about how hard it is to sell right now… and why I’m doubling down on Brand Videos as the bridge between skeptical buyers and real trust. If you’ve been circli...
Text me! I sat down with my notebook convinced I had to build a big, complicated Black Friday funnel — bonuses, bundles, deadlines, layers… the whole thing. But instead I did something uncharacteristic for Black Friday week: I stopped. I stepped back. And I asked myself the question: “What would feel both mindblowingly generous AND completely aligned?” In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes my Black Friday Deals Week that kicks off on Monday and the unexpectedly easy decision that ...
Text me! When Allie Bjerk got started, she didn’t wait for the “perfect” offer. She shipped a tiny one — fast. A simple low-ticket product, a clean page, and a clear promise. By breakfast, strangers had bought. By the weekend, she had proof: the idea worked. In this conversation, Allie breaks down how that one small move reshaped everything — from validating ideas in days, to building a buyer journey that turns low-ticket yeses into sustainable scale. We talk timing, trust, and why you don’t ...
Text me! This week felt like a LEVEL UP week inside the business. I finally got my first Brandmagnetic hoodie — and it instantly shifted something energetically. Like… THIS is happening. This is real. This brand is becoming a world. Then — my first real ads campaign? 7.2 ROAS. 🤯 (And yes… total chaos with tracking… but still. Big moment.) Inside this episode I’m sharing what I’m building for Black Friday, what I’m dialing in for my evergreen machine, and why I’m officially stepping into “cont...
Text me! Last year, Kelsey Silver watched a client make six figures in a single weekend — and not because she slashed prices. The secret? She treated Black Friday like a strategy, not a scramble. In this conversation, Kelsey breaks down how to approach Black Friday week with intention — from crafting magnetic offers to understanding what your audience actually wants to buy — and how to make it feel aligned instead of exhausting. We talk about what’s working right now, the biggest mistakes ...
Text me! Last week, I caught myself doing *that* again — endlessly tweaking slides, rewriting emails, and convincing myself the funnel needed one more layer before it could work. But then I stopped. In this Empire Diaries, I’m breaking down exactly what I’m focusing on behind the scenes: the pieces of my new evergreen funnel (and pushing things out before they’re perfect), how I’m setting up my Black Friday Deals Week I’m SO excited about, and the mental reset that got me out of the “what i...
Text me! There is so much beige garbage in the online space, and it’s so easy to just produce content that gets lots in that sea of sameness. But years ago, Lucy tossed a simple offer into a Facebook group: “Want help telling your story?” One founder took a chance. Lucy wrote it fast, in her voice, not the internet’s — and the reply landed: “I’ve had people write my story… no one’s ever captured it like this.” That single line became market validation - and the start of Unicorn Messaging: c...
Text me! I was sitting in front of my mic — coffee going cold, notes open — and suddenly I caught myself doing it again. That quiet, sneaky voice had crept in: “You should sound more polished.” “Say it better.” “Maybe just re-record.” Five minutes later, I was spiraling — fixing my lighting, adjusting my tone, anything to delay hitting record. And then… I stopped. In this Empire Diaries, I share what happened next — the small moment that flipped me from doubting everything to saying what I...
Text me! What if your audience could find you without you dancing on Reels or posting 24/7? That’s exactly what today’s guest, Lena Christine of Lazy Girl Collective, is all about — using SEO and organic visibility strategies that actually work for coaches and course creators who are done with hustle marketing. Inside the conversation: 📌 Why SEO isn’t dead — and how it outperforms the content treadmill. 📌 The “lazy” approach that gets you seen by premium buyers without burnout. &n...
Text me! Early-morning coffee, quiet house — and a simple plan. I’m sharing exactly how I’m running Q4 in CEO mode: fewer moves, cleaner focus, and my kickass, life changing program that sells on autopilot (!!) If you’ve been juggling too much, this is your permission to choose less and finish more — and this is what I’m doing. What’s inside: 📌 Finally embracing “the janky first version” — ship now, refine later. 📌 10x > 2x + the 12-Week Year — why fewer bets create outsized wins. 📌...
Text me! Think SEO is just keywords and backlinks? That’s cute. Search has changed — and if you want to be found by LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude, not just humans on Google, it’s time to revisit how you show up online. I brought on Adam Chronister (founder of Enleaf and PR wizard in disguise) to break down what actually matters now — from website structure to PR cadence to how AI determines who’s trustworthy enough to recommend. He’s cracked the code in an interesting way for how to get you s...
Text me! Confession: I almost spent 20 minutes re-mounting my mic arm today… then I pressed record. This one’s a pep-talk and a plan — my new “I do not complain” mantra, why I’m siding with “trust first, offer second,” and how I’m building an evergreen engine with real urgency (plus why DIY courses aren’t dead — they’re just badly aimed). Here’s what’s happening in the BTS of my business this week: What’s inside: 📌 Trust-first vs info-first — what Dan Kennedy gets right and where I disagree...
Text me! If, like me, you’re hearing the theme song of Gilmore Girls play in your head (because I’m now falling asleep to it every night 😌, fall MUST be officially here 🍂 I didn’t plan to take this much space this summer… but honestly – neeeeeded it. Long beach days (some with my laptop, some without), speaking on stage in Cancun, and spending so much brain time on where Brandmagnetic is heading… I came out of the season with so much clarity and eeeeek more excited than I’ve ever been! ...
Text me! We don’t often think about it – but every time you ask someone a simple, throw away “How are you?” you’re missing an incredible opportunity to create a real connection. It’s so hard to build trust in a noisy, busy, scroll-past-you online space (and IRL), because we are so bombarded by so much. But you don’t need to shout louder. We just need to learn how to build real relationships (yes – ones that lead to not only true support but also sales and collaborations). Ravi Rajani — keyno...
Text me! Pat Flynn is one of those rare “make it simple, make it doable” humans — Smart Passive Income, best-selling books, packed live events, and advice you can actually use by Tuesday. In this episode, we get into Lean Learning — learn less, apply faster, let the numbers nudge your next move — so your work ships and sticks. We talk micro-mastery, retention-driven tweaks, and the kind of connection that turns casual followers into real fans. If you’re tired of the content hamster wheel, th...
