What if the fastest way to fill your pipeline wasn’t chasing new leads… but reigniting the ones you already have? If you’ve ever stared at a list of past prospects who never said “yes” and thought, “They’re gone for good,” think again. Those dormant leads could actually be your next high-ticket clients – if you know how to re-engage them strategically. In episode 462 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I sat down with Mandi Ellefson, founder of Hands-Off CEO, to uncover a powerful (yet simple) system to reactivate cold leads and close 1–2 new deals in just 30 days without paid ads or exhausting outreach. Mandi shares the exact reactivation framework her clients use to turn “quiet” prospects into $100 - $500k in new revenue. Plus, she reveals how to use automation, personalization, and timing to rebuild trust fast. If your sales pipeline has stalled or you’re ready to turn missed opportunities into momentum, this conversation will help you see your “old” leads in a whole new light. Key Takeaways: [04:32] Why most entrepreneurs leave thousands in potential revenue sitting in their CRM – and how to fix it. 08:47] The 4-word email reactivation strategy that reignites stalled deals, without sounding salesy or doing awkward follow up.. 12:10] How to identify which leads are actually ready to buy (and stop wasting time chasing the wrong ones). [16:03] The psychology behind why leads go quiet — and what rebuilds trust instantly. [21:55] How to personalize outreach at scale — without spending hours sending follow-up messages. [26:12] How reactivating old leads can create a snowball effect of referrals and repeat business. [30:45] The 30-day roadmap for tripling your pipeline and closing high-value clients. About The Guest: Mandi Ellefson is the founder of Hands‑Off CEO, where she guides service firms to break free from daily delivery, win 6–7 figure deals, and boost profits by as much as 600% by leveraging their ‘Invisible Advantage.’ After battling emotional and physical burnout, she rebuilt her business to create more freedom — and grew a multi‑million‑dollar net worth before the age of 40. Today, she teaches other owners to do the same, and uses her platform to be a stand for freedom and sponsor at‑risk children in Cambodia, aligning growth with deeper purpose.

Have you ever felt like no matter how much strategy, mindset work, or motivation you stack, something inside is holding you back? What if that “something” isn’t a lack of focus or discipline… but your nervous system? In Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 461, I sat down with Michelle Grosser, a nervous system coach and host of The Calm Mom Podcast, to unpack how your body’s stress patterns could be quietly capping your potential. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck in hustle mode, easily triggered by setbacks, or struggling to stay in flow, this conversation will help you understand why and how to reset your system so you can lead, sell, and scale with greater ease. Together, Michelle and I explore how nervous system regulation impacts your energy, productivity, and visibility — and how entrepreneurs can train their bodies to support sustainable growth, not sabotage it. Key Takeaways: [04:12] What happens when your nervous system is in survival mode (and why it keeps you from consistent success). [09:36] The difference between mindset work and nervous system work — and why most people stop at the first layer. [15:22] How chronic stress responses show up in entrepreneurs (like overworking, people-pleasing, or burnout). [22:05] Simple daily practices to bring your nervous system back to safety and calm. [29:40] How regulating your body expands your capacity for visibility, leadership, and receiving more abundance.

What if the events you hosted didn’t just build authority, but actually filled your programs with clients? So many experts pour time, money, and energy into hosting workshops, summits, or online events, only to end up exhausted with little to no return. The truth is, events can be one of the most powerful ways to grow your business - if you design them with conversion in mind. In episode 460 of the Amplify Your Success Podcast, Kristine Genovese joins me for an On Air Coaching session focused on how to shift her event strategy so she’s not just inspiring attendees, but creating an experience that does more than just provide massive value — it naturally leads to new clients. If you’ve been feeling like your events are too much effort for too little results, this episode will give you a fresh perspective and practical strategies to host profitable, client-converting events. Key Takeaways: [04:12] Why most events fail to convert — and how to shift your focus from giving value and filling seats to filling programs. [07:48] The importance of positioning your event around client outcomes (not just information). [12:30] How Kristine can use her unique expertise to create a signature event that naturally leads to enrollments. [16:55] Why event structure matters — and the small tweaks that turn attendees into clients.

Have you noticed that podcast guesting doesn’t deliver the same results it used to? Maybe you’ve been showing up on great shows, sharing your expertise, and yet… the leads, clients, and opportunities aren’t flowing the way you expected. That’s because the industry has shifted. And if you’re still approaching podcast guesting the way you did 3 to 5 years ago, you might be putting in effort without seeing the return on investment.

Have you ever opened your closet and felt like nothing in there really represents the person you want to be? You’re not alone. For many entrepreneurs and leaders, style gets pushed aside as “not that important.” But the truth is: how you dress influences how others perceive you, how you see yourself, and even the opportunities that flow your way. In this episode of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I’m joined by personal stylist and founder of Everyday Style, Jennifer Mackey-Mary.

Together, we dive into how your clothes can become a tool for success (instead of stress), why style is often the missing link for women entrepreneurs, and how to create a wardrobe that supports who you want to be, not just who you’ve been. If you’re ready to show up with more confidence, impact, and authority - this episode will inspire you to rethink what’s hanging in your closet. Key Takeaways: [04:28] Why dressing for success is not vanity – it’s strategy. [09:41] The surprising link between confidence, clarity, and your closet. [14:22] Jennifer’s framework for building a wardrobe that supports your goals. [20:17] The hidden “energy drain” of decision fatigue – and how style eliminates it.

Even the most successful, driven experts can hit a wall—and often, it's not because of the wrong strategy or a missing skill. It’s the hidden fears that stall high achievers when they step into growth mode – and it can quietly sabotage their momentum. In episode 446 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I unpack the most common fears I see show up for high-performing leaders, coaches, and changemakers as they expand their visibility, impact, and revenue. These aren’t surface-level fears that you commonly recognize - they’re often disguised as a belief you just aren’t ready, or a simple desire to appeal to more people. I’ll show you how these hidden fears keep you stuck in a loop of hesitation, burnout, and invisibility – and more importantly, how to shift into a bolder, confident mindset so you can lead with confidence and take aligned action again. If you're ready to unhook from sneaky fears and grow with momentum, this episode will guide you back into forward motion. Key Takeaways: [2:59] The invisible fears that keep high achievers in a cycle of overworking or hiding. [4:27] Why perfectionism can be a fear-based pattern disguised as “excellence.” [7:46] The fear of being seen—and why it often hides under people-pleasing. [11:28] How fear of success shows up in sneaky ways that keep you from scaling. [14:55] The cost of comparison and how it dilutes your voice and momentum. [17:40] The mindset shift that breaks the fear loop and activates bold visibility.
