Imagine making $40,000 a month from a $9 membership. Sounds impossible? Think again! In this episode, I sit down with email marketing expert Liz Wilcox, who has cracked the code on how to turn a low-cost membership into a thriving business. Liz shares the secrets behind her high-converting email strategies, why she’s anti-storytelling in emails, and how she built her business from an RV travel blog to an email marketing empire.

What if you could boost your course sales every month—without ads, new launches, or more work? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on Relaunch Magic, the system I use to re-engage non-buyers and turn them into customers automatically.

If you’ve got an evergreen funnel and leads who didn’t convert, this strategy can help you bring them back in a way that feels natural—not pushy. I’m sharing how it works, why it’s better than live launching, and how you can set it up to run on autopilot.

Ever thought about flipping the script on online courses? What if, instead of selling your course, you gave it away for free - and still built a wildly profitable business? In this episode, I sit down with Itai Nusbaum, who has done exactly that. Itai has created 16 online courses, all available for free, and has used them as a powerful marketing engine to establish himself as the go-to expert in his field.

We dive deep into his unique approach, exploring how he monetizes his business without directly selling courses, why giving away high-quality content can be a strategic move, and the long-term benefits of prioritizing trust and authority over immediate sales. If you’ve ever considered alternative ways to scale your online course business or struggled with traditional marketing funnels, this episode will challenge your thinking in the best way possible.

If you've ever felt discouraged because things aren’t going as planned, this episode is for you. I break down the Journey of Transformation - a roadmap that highlights the inevitable highs and lows of learning something new - and how staying consistent will ultimately lead to success.
