Podcast appearances and mentions of amy porterfield

In a first-ever Woman of Influence Table Talk, I gather five powerhouse women in one room for a no-holds-barred conversation about what it really takes to build, hold, and protect true influence. I'm joined by Amy Porterfield, Stacy Tuschl, Leanne Lopez Mosley, Adley Kinsman, and Ashley Brock five women who have collectively built multi-million dollar businesses, generated billions of views, scaled iconic brands, and earned their elevation by doing the work most women aren't willing to do. We open the conversation with the question every woman in business needs to sit with: when did you first realize you had cultivated real influence, and what did it cost you? This is a raw and grounding conversation about being misunderstood, raising your standard when it's the most inconvenient, the people-pleasing patterns that quietly cap your influence, and why you cannot have any form of real influence and still chase universal approval. We talk about Amy's decision to retire a $60 million program and the public backlash that followed, Stacy's framework of "$100 million CEO" thinking, Adley's concept of Cringe Mountain, Leanne's evolution into Rich Queen and Soft Girl Millions, and Ashley's identity-shifting realization that she was a thought repeater, not a thought leader.

I cannot be misunderstood by somebody else if I am not misunderstanding who I am." - Leanne Lopez Mosley "I believe in this idea of earning your elevation, meaning doing the reps, staying in your lane, changing lives, being responsible for what you're doing. And at a certain point, you grow and you change, and you earn your elevation to do something different." - Amy Porterfield "When I'm in a bind or it's not convenient, I go, 'What would $100 million Stacey do?'" - Stacy Tuschl "I realized I was a thought repeater, not a thought leader." - Ashley Brock "Influence is very holy.

Harry Duran, founder of Fullcast and creator of Podisphere, joins Jeff Mains to explore what it really takes to build a sustainable podcast, grow a content brand, and stay ahead in a rapidly AI-shaped media world.Harry shares his journey from corporate marketing at JPMorgan Chase and E-Trade, to launching his first podcast Podcast Junkies in 2014, to building Fullcast — a podcast production and marketing consultancy that has helped over 130 business owners launch and grow shows. He also dives deep into his newest ventures: Podisphere (a G2-style SaaS directory for podcast tools) and Podclaw (an agent-first podcast hosting platform built for AI agents, not humans).The conversation covers the seismic shift happening in content creation right now — from vibe coding and Claude Code to autonomous AI agents that market products while you sleep. Harry and Jeff also discuss why long-form human conversations are becoming more valuable in an era flooded with AI-generated content, the power of niche podcasting, and why the most important skill for the next decade may simply be learning how to talk to robots.Key Takeaways0:00 — Intro: What it takes to build a podcast and a business around it in an AI-driven content landscape4:40 — Recap of previous guests: Justin Trombold on AI strategy and Rick Delisi on The Effortless Experience6:10 — Welcoming Harry Duran — how he helped launch SaaS Fuel and what Fullcast does9:50 — Harry's origin story: From JPMorgan Chase and Unilever to electronic music, DJing, and discovering podcasting at New Media Expo in 201413:30 — Meeting Pat Flynn and Amy Porterfield; pivoting from a DJ podcast to Podcast Junkies; recognizing podcasting as your own personal stage17:10 — How Harry's first paying client (a $1,000 PayPal from John Livesay) launched Fullcast in 201522:10 — Introducing Podisphere: A G2.com-style directory for podcast tools — the inspiration, the build journey, and why traffic is the only metric that matters to sponsors27:30 — Building with no-code tools (Airtable, Webflow, Bubble), the frustrations of non-technical founding, and how vibe coding changed everything in 202531:30 — Claude Code, Agent OS, and spec-driven development: how Harry built more in six months than in five years combined37:50 — SEO strategy for Podisphere: Fathom Analytics, Ahrefs, programmatic blog posts, Google Search Console, and hitting 7,000 page views/month without a press release45:20 — The power of founder relationships: How 12 years of Podcast Junkies led to meeting Andrew Mason (Descript), the SquadCast acquisition, and building a network that fuels Podisphere51:00 — Why every founder should have a podcast: relationship-building, opening doors, and earning "street cred"54:40 — Introducing Podclaw: An agent-first podcast hosting platform built for AI agents, not humans1:01:30 — Moltbook: The AI agent social network, digital wallets for agents, and autonomous marketing via cron jobs1:08:00 — The "agent economy" and why SaaS companies that block agents are "dead men walking"1:15:30 — Why the most important future skill is learning how to talk to robots; parallels to the dot-com era of 19991:21:30 — The future of podcasting: AI-generated shows, long-form authentic conversation, niche doubling down, and why human voices are becoming more valuable1:28:00 — NotebookLM and the rise of AI podcast hosts; the disclosure debate1:33:20 — Harry's personal operating system: morning meditation, written intentions, strength training, and protecting attention before screens1:37:30 — Where to find Harry: fullcast.co, thepodisphere.com, podclaw.ioTweetable Quotes"The most important skill in the future is learning how to talk to robots." — Harry Duran"You can't speak to someone for an hour and forget their face. That's the magic of podcasting — it builds relationships that nothing else can replicate." — Harry Duran"The people who made money in the gold rush were the ones who sold the picks, the shovels, and Levi's." — Harry Duran"Companies that block agents are dead men walking. If agents can't get the data from you, someone else will build what they need." — Jeff Mains"It never feels done — you just have to ship it. Get it out there." — Harry Duran"AI is like having the vision in your head and finally being able to build at the speed of thought." — Harry DuranSaaS Leadership Lessons1. Build Your Distribution Before You Need ItHarry spent over a decade building Podcast Junkies before it became the foundation of Podisphere. His relationships with founders like Andrew Mason (Descript) and the SquadCast team weren't accidental — they were built over 500+ interviews. Leaders who invest in platforms, relationships, and audiences compounding quietly are the ones who have leverage when they need it.2. Sell Picks and Shovels — Build for the EcosystemRather than fighting for space in a crowded software category, Harry positioned Podisphere as the infrastructure layer (the G2 of podcasting). Great SaaS leaders ask: What does this entire ecosystem need that nobody is building? Being a connector and aggregator often outlasts being just another point solution.3. Non-Technical Founders Must Learn to Build at the Speed of ThoughtHarry's journey from Airtable → Bubble → Fiverr developers → Claude Code is a roadmap for any non-technical founder in 2025. The bottleneck is no longer code — it's vision and prompting. The founder who can articulate their product clearly to an AI builds faster, iterates faster, and maintains greater ownership of the product direction.4. Traffic Is the Only Metric That Converts to Revenue — Build for Discovery FirstPodisphere hit 7,000 page views/month organically before a single press release by treating every page as an SEO asset. Harry obsessed over internal links, programmatic blog posts, and AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) for AI search. SaaS leaders building content or marketplace products should think like search engines think — not just build pretty interfaces.5. Agent-First Is the New Mobile-First — Design for It NowHarry didn't build Podclaw for human users. He built it for AI agents, complete with clean APIs, no unnecessary dashboards, and agent-friendly architecture. As agent economies emerge (complete with digital wallets and autonomous purchasing), SaaS products that block or ignore agents will be displaced. Build your API surface today like agents are your power users tomorrow.6. Protect Your Peak Performance Hours — Your Best Output Comes from Taking Care of Yourself FirstHarry meditates 20 minutes every morning, writes intentions in the present tense, and strength trains three days a week before opening a laptop. He's explicit: this is not a nice-to-have. The onslaught of screens, AI noise, and constant stimulation hijacks your nervous system. The leaders who perform at the highest level over the longest runway are the ones who treat personal maintenance as a non-negotiable operating system.Guest Resourceshttps://fullcast.co/hdbioEpisode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

If you've been putting off building your email list, this episode is your sign to finally make it happen! I'm sitting down with podcast strategist Kylee Chandler to talk about two of the most powerful (and underused) strategies for growing your email: curated lead magnets and personality quizzes. Kylee shares how podcasters can use these tools to turn casual listeners into superfans, and grow a podcast audience that actually sticks around.Kylee Chandler is a podcast growth strategist and the host of the Podcast Growth Tools podcast. She specializes in helping podcasters, especially women with established shows, grow their email lists and create quiz funnels that convert. Kylee has worked with big names like Amy Porterfield and Kathy Heller, and she brings a creative, podcast-first approach to email marketing that feels anything but boring.Topics Discussed in This EpisodeWhat a lead magnet is and why podcasters need oneHow to create a curated podcast bundle as a lead magnetWhy quizzes are one of the most powerful tools for growing your email listHow to use a quiz to deliver personalized podcast playlists to new listenersThe data quizzes give you about your audience (this one is SO good!)How to write a lifestyle newsletter your subscribers actually want to openReal-life quiz funnel results, including a 77% revenue increase!Why nurturing your email list matters just as much as growing itHow Pinterest can amplify your quiz and lead magnet strategyKey TakeawaysA curated podcast bundle, episodes grouped around your listeners' biggest pain points or desires, makes a far more compelling lead magnet than a basic checklist, especially if you have a large back catalog.Quizzes work because people love to learn about themselves and when you pair quiz results with a personalized podcast playlist, you create an instant connection with new subscribers.The data from a quiz funnel tells you exactly who is in your audience and what they need, which makes your content and offers so much more targeted.You don't need a huge email list to start. Start nurturing now, so when you're ready to sell (or simply invite people to listen), they're already warm.A lifestyle-style newsletter, one that leads with a story before getting into podcast updates, can dramatically boost your open rates. Kylee's hovers around 60%!Quizzes are a long game, just like podcasting and Pinterest. Set it up, promote it, and let it work for you over time.Timestamps(00:00) Welcome(00:38) Introducing Kylee Chandler(01:26) What is a lead magnet and why do podcasters need one?(02:32) Curated podcast bundles as lead magnets(04:25) Why your email list needs nurturing, not just growth(05:07) The lifestyle newsletter strategy and Kylee's 60% open rate(08:43) Why quizzes are a game-changer for podcast growth(12:25) The data quizzes give you about your audience(13:44) Where to host your quiz (Interact quiz platform)(14:57) Real results podcasters got from quizzesLinks & ResourcesKylee's podcast, Podcast Growth ToolsJoin Kylee's email newsletterFollow Kylee on InstagramQuiz platform mentioned, Interact QuizFollow Friendly Podcast Guide on PinterestJoin the Friendly Podcast Guide email list

This episode is our first ever greatest hits episode. I'm doing this for a couple reasons:Number one, I am getting caught up on some podcast interviews because I've been a little busy with Pro Con recently and some other stuff going on, and number two…I wanted to dig up some episodes from the past that I think are very relevant and more applicable than ever today in 2026. And that is definitely the case with this interview, which was with Amy Porterfield.For new listeners to the show, you're coming into the podcast in the 400s and you may not know about what episodes are back in the hundreds or the two hundreds or three hundreds, even before that. So the ones that are really good, I want to make sure they continue to live on. And that's definitely the case with this conversation with Amy because it's more relevant than ever, all about trusting yourself and preparing yourself to do this sustainably and do it for the long haul.Plus, she laid down one of my favorite quotes in the podcast to date:“you can't believe everything you think.”True in good times and bad times, and in this age of change and flux and everything that's going on in all markets with AI and abroad, this conversation could not be more timely. In this one, we cover:Amy's path from corporate security (including 7 years at Tony Robbins) to going all-in on online businessWhy the early dip happens and how to push through itShifting from one-on-one service work to digital courses — and why that change saved her businessGetting through rough seasons by leaning on your support system and mentorsThe mindset motto that keeps Amy grounded: "You can't believe everything you think"How transparency in online business has changed — and the "scab vs. wound" method for sharing authenticallyWhat building an online course used to look like vs. todayWhy your "why" evolves over time — and how that fuels longevityHustle as a short-term season, not a long-term identityHow Amy moved her whole team of 20 to a four-day workweek — and what changedOwning your calendar as the boss (including Hobie's legendary line)The simplicity move: doubling down on what works and cutting what doesn'tThis was originally episode 185, so head to the OG show notes to get all links and resources we mentioned, along with a full transcription of this episode at joshhall.co/185

What if LinkedIn wasn't just for corporate professionals… but one of the most powerful platforms for coaches, founders, creatives, and thought leaders to attract premium clients?In this episode, I'm breaking down why LinkedIn is massively underestimated right now — and why so many entrepreneurs are either ignoring the platform completely or using it in ways that never actually convert.After generating well over $1M through LinkedIn without paid ads, I've seen firsthand what works (and what absolutely doesn't).And recently, a moment involving Amy Porterfield (yes, THE Amy!!) confirmed something I've been saying for YEARS:LinkedIn is becoming one of the most important platforms for premium buyers, visibility, and authority.Inside this episode, we dive into:Why most LinkedIn strategies failThe difference between activity vs. actual strategyWhat a “Trust Funnel” is and why you need oneThe biggest mistake people make in LinkedIn DMsHow to create content that builds authority without performingWhy LinkedIn is becoming more human, spiritual, and relationship-drivenHow to position yourself as a thought leader people actually trustThe exact ecosystem that turns content into clientsIf you've been craving a platform that feels less performative, more aligned, and actually converts into high-caliber opportunities and buyers — this episode is for you.And if you want to get the exact strategy that I've used to generate over $1M through LinkedIn, I'm giving it away inside my FREE 4-Day LinkedIn Challenge.

"Colin, how did you get connected to these big names you've collaborated and worked this? People like Amy Porterfield, Jenna Kutcher, Anthony O'Neal and Carrie Green?" Here's the honest answer nobody wants to hear: I paid to be in the same room as them. Not like... I didn't bribe anyone. I paid to be in masterminds, programs, and conferences where these people were. Then I didn't act like a fan. I acted like a peer. In this episode of The Expert Edge, I break down how to build a highly valuable network without being creepy, needy, or manipulative. More than 50% of my business success has come from relationships and friendships I've intentionally built in this industry - and I'm sharing exactly how I did it. I walk through the mindset shifts, tactical strategies, and energy you need to bring when networking. This isn't about manipulation or playing games. It's about deciding that building relationships is important, investing to be in the right rooms, and showing up from a place of abundance instead of scarcity. What you'll learn: → Why you need to pay to be in the room (and why almost every major relationship requires investment) → How to come from abundance instead of scarcity (people can smell neediness from a mile away) → The 60-day check-in system: How to stay connected without being weird (Instagram, WhatsApp, Voxer, then text) → The hallway hack: Where the most influential people hang out during conference sessions (spoiler: not in their seats) → Why showing up as a fan kills your chance of becoming a peer or partner → The law of reciprocity: How having a podcast (or platform) creates natural collaboration opportunities → How to transition from "person at the event" to "person they text when they're in town" Real insights from the episode: Why conferences should be 80% about meeting people and 20% about content How to reach out to people in paid programs you're already in (the 15-minute catch-up framework) Why market value and personal value are different (and how to leverage both) The Instagram to WhatsApp to text progression for building relationship intimacy Why starting a podcast was less about building an audience and more about having a platform to offer value to people Colin wanted relationships with Interested in working with me directly to scale your Expert business?

#854 What do Pat Flynn, John Lee Dumas, and Amy Porterfield all have in common? They've all trained with Jeff McMahon! In Part 2 of this two-part episode, Brien and Jeff pick up right where they left off, diving deeper into what makes Jeff's virtual training business so sustainable. Jeff reveals that his average client stays with him for two and a half to four years — with some going strong for over a decade — and explains why the live, personalized nature of his sessions keeps churn low. He shares the lead-in offers he's tried over the years (and what flopped), why he keeps the business as a lean one-man operation, and how high-profile clients like Pat Flynn and Amy Porterfield came through podcast appearances and live events rather than social media. Jeff also gets candid about the early scheduling mistakes he made and how locking clients into set time slots changed everything. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow, Jeff's parting advice on landing your first clients — think referrals, local networking, and consistent content creation — is as practical as it gets! What we discuss with Jeff: + Average client lifespan: 2.5–4 years + Some clients staying 6–16 years + 65% female, 35% male clientele + Group training and membership models flopped + Two free sessions still the winning offer + Solo operation powered by QuickBooks + High-profile clients came from podcast appearances and live events + Set scheduling times reduce chaos + AI can't replace accountability + Start with referrals, not ads Thank you, Jeff!

I recorded this just a few days removed from an author's mastermind in Franklin, Tennessee. I got a call from Haley at Kit a few weeks ago—she was putting together a small group mastermind with James Clear, and I was on the list. What I didn't expect was that the rest of the list was a dozen New York Times bestselling authors, including Jefferson Fisher, Vanessa Van Edwards, Amy Porterfield, Nir Eyal, Sahil Bloom, Tori Dunlap, and more. Over three days, I took pages of notes. This episode breaks down tactical takeaways (newsletter tours, AI consciousness filters, tiny offers), memorable quotes from the authors, insights on event structure that could inform our Boise event, and my honest reflection on authorship and team building. There was zero gatekeeping—everyone was incredibly generous with what they knew.

In this episode of the podcast, we talk about: What low-lift launch strategies can look like in 2026 How Prerna uses AI to test and strengthen offers Why waitlists, nurture sequences, and non-buyer follow-up still matter How to improve the customer experience before and after the sale Small but meaningful ways to make onboarding feel more personal …And More!   This Episode Was Made Possible By: Riverside All-in-One Podcast & Video Platform Visit Riverside and use the code DREA to get 15% off any Riverside individual plan.

What if the biggest obstacle between you and your goals isn't your talent, your resources, or your circumstances… but the identity you believe about yourself? In this mashup episode, I bring together four incredible minds who understand what it really takes to achieve meaningful goals and create lasting success. You're going to hear powerful insights from Mel Robbins, David Nurse, Constance Schwartz-Morini, and Amy Porterfield about the mindset shifts that separate people who dream from people who actually execute. This conversation is about one core truth: the results you get in your life will never consistently exceed the identity you believe you deserve. Mel Robbins and I go deep into the power of intentional living and why the decisions we make daily shape the trajectory of our lives. We talk about how your story does not disqualify you from achieving something great. In fact, your life experiences and your humanity are often the very things that qualify you to make an impact. I share the deeply personal story of my father's transformation and how the idea of “one more” attempt can change the entire course of a life. You're also going to hear David Nurse break down how small pivots in your mindset can unlock massive changes in your performance and results. We talk about practical strategies that help people shift from being stuck to taking decisive action. Amy Porterfield shares one of the biggest traps that keeps people from pursuing their dreams. Too many people wait until everything is perfect before they start. The truth is that clarity often comes from taking action, not from waiting for the perfect plan. And finally, Constance Schwartz-Morini pulls back the curtain on what it takes to build world class businesses and brands behind the scenes. Her journey reminds us that massive success rarely starts with perfect certainty. It begins with belief, vision, and the willingness to take the first step before you have the entire path mapped out. If there is one idea that runs through every conversation in this episode, it is this: your identity drives your effort, your effort drives your results, and your results reinforce the identity you believe about yourself. When you upgrade that identity and start writing a new story about who you are becoming, everything in your life can change. This episode will challenge the way you think about your goals and help you realize something powerful. You are far closer to your next level than you think. Key Takeaways Why the identity you believe about yourself determines the results you create in life The power of “one more” effort and how persistence compounds over time Why waiting for perfect clarity often prevents people from ever starting How small mindset pivots can unlock massive performance breakthroughs The importance of intentional living and taking ownership of your story Why taking action before you feel ready is often the key to achieving big goals How upgrading your identity can transform your effort, confidence, and results

You know that quiet voice in your head? The one that sounds so normal you don't even notice it… until it stops you from doing the very thing you want most?In this episode I share the exact moment I caught my own lifelong sabotaging story while creating my new Etsy interior design guide — and how meditation helped me flip the script in real time.If there's any area of your life you desperately want to change but keep stopping short… this one's for you.Listen (or watch) now and try my challenge at the end — catch your story this week and tell it “I don't believe you anymore.”

Text a question to Victoria!In this episode, Victoria is jumping in between seasons to unpack two major announcements you might have seen in the online business world:

The Money Mindset Shift Every Woman Entrepreneur Needs There are more men named John running Fortune 500 companies than there are women. Total. Let that sink in for a second. That's just one of the things Vivian Tu, aka Your Rich BFF, dropped in this episode that made me go, wait, what? She went from being told she was "too girly for Wall Street" to becoming one of the most trusted voices in personal finance. And the way she breaks down money will make you rethink everything you thought you knew. We get into why women who are crushing it in business still let their money sit in a savings account earning 0.39%, the simple equation that tells you whether something is actually worth buying, why women fight over 2% of the pie when there's 98% sitting right there, and how to stop working around the clock and let your money do the work instead. Vivian also gets real about running her business at a sprint pace for years and what she's doing to finally build something sustainable. This is the money conversation I wish I had ten years ago. CHAPTERS: 00:00 "Money Truths with Amy Porterfield" 05:39 "Growing Wealth and Money Mindset" 13:42 "Leaving Wall Street and Identity" 19:05 Work Ethic and Efficiency 22:26 "Scaling Up: Hiring Strategically" 28:22 "Leveraging Technology and Lessons" 33:04 "Investing: Money Works for You" 41:43 Redefining Richness and Values 46:21 Why Women Struggle to Celebrate Success 51:56 "Focus on Profitable Ventures" 56:26 "Get Rich, Stay Rich Framework" 01:01:02 "Mastering Life's Biggest Finances" HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ Separate Your Business and Personal Finances – As soon as you start making real money, set up a business entity that's fully separate from you. Your dry cleaning bill should not be on your business credit card. This protects you and sets you up to scale. 2️⃣ Stop Letting Your Money Sit in a Savings Account – A regular savings account earns you almost nothing. Once you have your emergency fund set, your money should be working for you through investments. Your labor earns you capital. Your capital makes you rich. 3️⃣ Value Purchases in Time, Not Dollars – Before you buy something, divide the cost by your hourly take-home pay. That $100 pair of yoga pants might cost you five hours of work. Is it worth it? This simple equation helps you spend strategically and without guilt.

Text Me A Question!Last week, Amy Porterfield announced she's shutting down Digital Course Academy, one of the most successful online course programs of all time. This isn't drama—it's data. And it confirms what we've been seeing quietly happen for the last three years.In this episode, we break down why online courses no longer sell the way they used to, how AI and information overload changed buyer behavior, and what people are actually willing to pay for in 2026.

Den anden dag lyttede jeg til en podcast af Amy Porterfield, hvor hun talte om, hvordan man kan spilde en hel del tid på tilfældig information på internettet og på at scrolle på sociale medier eller nyheder eller hvad, man nu har for vane. Og hvordan det godt kan betale sig at bruge den tid på en mere bevidst måde til at lære noget nyt. På den måde kan vi skabe vores eget "personlige pensum", og den idé blev jeg inspireret af.Derfor tager jeg emnet op på podcasten i dag, hvor jeg kommer ind på følgende:Jeg inviterer dig til at overveje, hvad du gerne vil lære, blive bedre til eller blive klogere på, som vil forbedre din livskvalitetAt vi ikke kan slette dårlige vaner, men kan erstatte dem med nye og mere positive vanerJeg deler lidt omkring, hvad jeg selv kunne tænke mig at lære i 2026Jeg fortæller om, hvad du kan lære både i de daglige lektioner og i ekstramaterialet i mit årsforløb Daglig Ro, der har åbent for tilmelding lige nu.>>> Læs mere her

In this episode of finding grace I'm joined by Natasha Page is a multi-passionate entrepreneur, business coach, psychotherapist, mother, writer, and podcaster. Her boundless creativity, infectious energy, unwavering ambition, and belief in the law of attraction and manifestation drive her. Beneath these layers, she is compassionate, spiritual, a self-help and business book enthusiast, and her book with hay house “Believe you're made for more” will be out in January.In this episode you'll discover:What finding grace means to Natasha and how she relates to it.Natasha's journey to becoming a psychotherapist and coach began with her own struggles with low self-esteem and depression in her early twenties, which led her to seek therapy and ultimately inspired her career path.She emphasises the importance of self-compassion and understanding that actions taken during difficult times are often coping strategies, not reflections of one's true character.Natasha discusses the impact of neurodiversity on her life, sharing that she was diagnosed with dyslexia at university, which helped her understand her learning differences and past experiences.Her book, "Believe You're Made For More," was inspired by her love of self-development and manifestation books, but also by the realisation that low self-esteem can hinder the ability to manifest positive changes.The book is structured around seven steps: amplify awareness, understand your narrative, reject old stories, become your authentic self, develop self-acceptance, embrace progression, and awaken the higher self.Natasha believes that building self-esteem is foundational for personal growth and manifestation, as it enables individuals to believe they are worthy and capable of achieving their desires.Practical strategies discussed include raising awareness of self-talk, setting aside dedicated time for oneself, and establishing healthy boundaries to prevent burnout.Natasha highlights the value of “tiger time”, dedicated, scheduled blocks for focused work or creative projects, a concept she adopted from Amy Porterfield.Daily mindfulness practices for Natasha include evening meditation and moments of awareness in nature, which help her stay grounded and connected.Her parting wisdom for listeners: “Believe you're made for more”—a simple but powerful reminder to embrace self-worth and pursue one's potentialNatasha share all this and more.Do reach out to us to continue this conversation.If you want to work with Natasha, read her book and find out what's she's up too, you can find her:Instagram @natashapagemscWebsite www.natashapagemsc.comBuy her book here You can find me at : Watch my TEDx talk here Instagram @thehannahwallaceTwitter @hannahwallace_Face book @thehannahwallace Website www.hannah-wallace.com Sign up to my newsletter here Thank you so much for listening please share, subscribe and review it's greatly appreciated and I hope you find grace in your week ahead.

So unless you've been living under a rock you would know that the start of 2026 has seen 2 of the biggest names in marketing make huge decisions about the future structure of their businesses. Jenna Kutcher is pausing her chart-topping Goal Digger Podcast after over 900 episodes and 115 million downloads. And Amy Porterfield is retiring her program Digital Course Academy (DCA) after nearly a decade.When I started my business 7 years ago, these 2 women were considered the go-to people for online businesses. And fun fact, when I launched this podcast back in 2021 and I hit #1 on the marketing charts in Australia – guess who was #2 + #3? Yep, Jenna + Amy. Fast forward to now and when they made their announcements it sent shockwaves through the online business community. Some people saw it coming so they weren't surprised and then some promptly hit the panic button. Does this mean podcasts are dead?Should I not bother launching my course?Is this the end of online business?For the love of dogs some people need to calm the damn farm – because this doesn't mean podcasts or online courses are dead. Not even close.So in today's episode of the How I Do Content Podcast I'm talking about why you need to stop believing anyone who says a particular marketing strategy is dead. Plus what actually determines whether something will work for YOUR business, and when you should actually quit a strategy.Let's get into it. WANT MORE?Watch my 13 minute One Offer, 5 Angles at https://thesocialbolt.com.au/mini-training/ Join the Micro Messaging Waitlist at https://thesocialbolt.com.au/messaging-waitlist/ Follow Tahryn on Instagram at http://www.instagram.com/thesocialbolt Find out more at https://www.thesocialbolt.com.au TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODEmarketing strategy, Jenna Kutcher, Amy Porterfield, Goal Digger Podcast, are podcasts dead, are podcasts worth it in 2026, is podcasting still effective for business, are online courses dead, do online courses still sell, is selling courses still profitable, Jenna Kutcher podcast ending, Amy Porterfield Digital Course Academy closing, marketing strategies that still work, marketing strategies 2026, best marketing channels for small business, email marketing still effective, does SEO still work, do Meta ads still work, organic social media worth it, content marketing still works, how to choose a marketing strategy, when to stop a marketing strategy, how to know if a marketing strategy is working, podcast ROI for business, course creation ROI, long-term marketing strategies, sustainable marketing strategies, marketing strategy for service based business, marketing strategy for online business, content strategy that converts, why marketing strategies stop working, marketing myths 2026Background Music is Copyright Free.

At BossMom, we're normalizing the conversations that help you grow a business while raising a family. In this episode, Dana gets vulnerable about something most mom entrepreneurs hide: starting over. After stepping back from Boss Mom to navigate grief, family changes, and rebuilding herself, Dana shares why the shame around starting over is keeping us stuck—and how breaking that silence changed everything. She reveals why Silicon Valley celebrates rebuilding every five years while moms treat it like failure, what isolation actually does to your business and creativity, and how stepping away doesn't mean you failed—it means you're human. With major entrepreneurs like Amy Porterfield and Jenna Kutcher publicly stepping back from parts of their businesses, Dana makes the case for why we need to normalize the start-stop cycle for moms and show our kids what real resilience looks like.

Last week, Amy Porterfield made a shocking announcement: she's no longer selling Digital Course Academy—the signature program that's made her $60+ million.And while her announcement focused on evolution and new challenges, I think there's a much bigger story here about what's happening in the online course industry right now.If you have an online course that's not selling the way you thought it would, or you're wondering why the strategies you were taught aren't working anymore—this episode is for you.Because the online course model has fundamentally changed. And most people aren't talking about it honestly.In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what changed, what's working now, and most importantly, what you should be doing with your course business in 2026.Want help pivoting your course business to what's actually working?Drop me a DM on Instagram: @hellofunnels

Jenna Kutcher is pausing The Goal Digger Podcast. Amy Porterfield is retiring Digital Course Academy. And the internet is doing what the internet does, panicking and asking if this means podcasts are dead, courses don't work, and online business as we know it is over. Sophia is here to slow that narrative WAY down. Because what's actually happening isn't that these formats are broken, it's that two massive business owners are intentionally closing chapters they've been in for nearly a decade. There's a huge difference between "this format no longer works" and "this format no longer fits where I am." In this episode, Sophia breaks down the real industry shifts happening (spoiler: they happen every 5-10 years), why a big fish feeling a shift doesn't mean the pond dried up, and gives you three concrete actions to take instead of panicking or standing still.Here's What We Cover:The crucial distinction no one's making — "This format no longer works" vs. "This format no longer fits where I am" (and why that matters)Industry shifts are fucking normal — Why this happens every 5-10 years and it doesn't mean everything stops workingThe bigger context: from COVID to AI — How reels, short-form video, and AI have all been industry shift moments we've navigated beforeCourses are still selling, podcasts still work — But they're being consumed differently, trust looks different, expectations have changedThe three things to do instead of panicking:Create intentional pause — What could you pause for 30-90 days to create space for clarity?Audit for revenue AND joy — Look at what makes money, what doesn't, what brings joy, and what makes you roll your eyesListen to what your audience is excited about NOW — Not three years ago, not what everyone else is selling...and what to focus on when the industry feels loud, chaotic, and unclear.Resources Mentioned:Submit Your Question: https://www.speakpipe.com/MarketingUnfilteredListen to this for more ways to sell outside of 1:1 coaching: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ep-201-how-coaches-can-sell-in-2026-without-relying/id1644601845?i=1000742475013 My AI strategy for coaches and creators: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ep-200-my-ai-strategy-for-coaches-creators-going-into-2026/id1644601845?i=1000741533840 

What if your proven marketing strategies feel increasingly uncomfortable because we're in a massive energetic shift from homogenization to differentiation, from fitting in to survive to standing out to thrive?In this episode, Kathryn unpacks the 2027 shift from the Cross of Planning to the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix and what this means for your business and marketing. She shares why cookie-cutter frameworks are dying and why the real work now is weaving together all the multifaceted parts of who you are instead of packaging yourself into a homogenized model anyone could copy.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:The shift happening in 2027 from the Cross of Planning (400 years of strategic mind dominance, homogenization, and survival through fitting in) to the Cross of the Sleeping Phoenix (differentiation, emotional intelligence, and survival through authentic expression), and why your internal system is already starting to feel increasingly uncomfortable with cookie-cutter strategies and surface-level messaging even if they're "proven to work" because the energetics are fundamentally changing.Why the Instagram CEO's recent post about creating content that only you can create is quite literally describing this new paradigm, why regurgitation and repetition ("DM me this word for engagement") is falling away, and how AI built on the old strategic mind model is actually accelerating the homogenization problem unless you're intentionally using it to amplify your authentic voice rather than sound like everyone else in your industry.The difference between strategic differentiation (looking at Amy Porterfield's model and adding your unique spin) versus true differentiation (going inward first to create from your own well of inspiration, then weaving together the multifaceted parts of who you are that no one else can replicate). Why your offerings, business model, pricing, and delivery need complete reinvention away from the "six-week group program at this price because that's what everyone charges" homogenized approach, and how the real question isn't "what model has been proven to work" but "what do I actually want to create, how do I want to create it, and what does success look like for me" without the parameters of looking at what's already been done, which requires going inward and internally resourcing rather than constantly having that outward gaze that keeps us trapped in comparison and cookie-cutter thinking.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

This week, we're diving into the fascinating shift happening in the online course industry, spotlighting Amy Porterfield's recent decision to close her Digital Course Academy. As we unpack this change, we explore how more entrepreneurs are gravitating towards community and accountability rather than solitary course completion. I've seen this trend myself in my own business, where I'm focusing more on intimate group learning experiences that foster engagement and support. We also chat about the importance of staying aware of what's happening in our industries and how that can influence our own strategies for growth. So, grab your snow shovels—or just a cozy drink—and let's get into the nitty-gritty of evolving business models and the joy of doing what we love! Louise opens the discussion with a light-hearted anecdote about the recent snowfall, which provided a rare opportunity for her family to build snowmen. This cheerful moment sets the tone for a deeper conversation about the evolving landscape of online business coaching, particularly in the realm of LinkedIn and digital courses. Drawing from her experiences, Louise reflects on the recent announcement by Amy Porterfield regarding the closure of her popular Digital Course Academy. This pivot reflects a broader trend in the online education space, where more entrepreneurs are seeking personalized support rather than traditional course formats. Louise emphasizes the importance of community and accountability, noting that her own accelerator program is filling up as more people seek guidance in their business journeys. As she draws parallels between her journey and Amy's, Louise invites listeners to consider how they can also adapt and thrive in their industries by paying attention to the shifts happening around them. Transitioning into the heart of the episode, Louise discusses the significance of adaptation in business. She highlights Amy's new focus on helping established female entrepreneurs scale their revenues, a move she finds particularly interesting. Louise has been following Amy's work since 2017 and feels a resonance with this shift towards collaborative growth. She believes that the online space is moving away from solitary learning and towards community-driven success. This insight resonates deeply, especially as Louise reflects on her own experiences with past programs that didn't quite meet her expectations. Sharing how she values small group interactions, Louise underscores her commitment to providing a supportive environment for her clients, which she believes is crucial for long-term success. As the episode concludes, Louise encourages listeners to actively engage with their networks and observe the changes and innovations within their industries. She stresses the importance of continuous learning and adaptation, using her own business evolution as a case study.

Ever feel like you're building a course based on what everyone else is doing instead of what actually fits your life and your students' needs? In this episode, I chat with speech coach Mike Pacchione—who's worked with the likes of Amy Porterfield and Donald Miller—about how he's built a high-impact, low-complexity program that prioritizes feedback and alignment over scale. We explore what it looks like to run a hybrid course, why he doesn't offer a standalone version, and how to design offers around what actually works for you.

Most entrepreneurs eventually feel the pull to pivot, but that shift can come with real risk. You've worked hard to build trust, grow your audience, and establish your expertise in one lane. So when it's time to evolve, how do you shift your messaging without confusing your audience or breaking what's already working? This is the tension: stay in your lane too long and you stagnate. Jump too fast and you lose everything. So how do you navigate that transition with clarity and confidence?   In this week's episode, Kyle Reed sits down with Amy Porterfield, who's redefining her business after 16 years and over $120 million in course sales. Amy unpacks the subtle strategy behind a graceful pivot, how she knew it was time, how she tested new messaging, and why she's choosing coaching over courses in this next chapter. If you're craving a new direction but fear the fallout, this conversation will give you the roadmap.   Click HERE to sign up for Amy's weekly newsletter.     --     Click HERE to get in-person help creating your marketing at the next available StoryBrand Your Business LIVE event!   Click HERE to find a StoryBrand certified marketing coach to help you grow your business!   Unlock the power of a framework that works—the StoryBrand Framework at StoryBrand.ai.

If you've ever felt like your email list is too small to matter or wondered what to actually say to the people on it, this episode is about to change the way you think about email marketing. I sat down with Amy Porterfield - yes, that Amy Porterfield - to talk about list building, storytelling, and staying consistent, especially when your list feels like it's barely getting started. Amy went from working in the corporate world for Tony Robbins to becoming one of the most trusted teachers in digital marketing. She's the creator of Digital Course Academy, host of the Online Marketing Made Easy podcast, and one of the biggest advocates for growing your business through the power of your email list. Your Email List Is Where the Magic Happens As Amy says, social media is rented land. Your email list is the only platform you truly own. If you have even one subscriber, talk to that person like you're writing just for them. Your list will make you money over and over again, but you have to do the work to grow it. Amy's simple steps: Get clear on who you want to serve and how you want to serve them. Create a freebie (lead magnet) that solves one small problem. Set up your CRM and get that freebie out there. Promote it often! Talk about your freebie on social media every single week. Consistency Builds Trust When I asked Amy how to keep showing up in email, her answer was simple: consistency. She sends her newsletter every Tuesday morning, no matter what. Her formula: Start with a story that connects back to the reader. Share two pieces of valuable content from others. Teach something simple and actionable. End with a personal story (and add her podcast link in the P.S.) People open emails from people they trust. And trust is built when your name keeps showing up in their inbox. Storytelling That Sells (Without Feeling Salesy) Amy shared that storytelling has become one of the most powerful tools in her emails. When people feel seen and understood, they stick around. And they buy. She often shares stories between her email and social platforms. If a story performs well in one place, she uses it in the other. Stories make your audience feel connected, and connection builds conversion. From Email Subscriber to Buyer So how do you actually move people from your list to paying customers? Keep showing up. Tell stories that build trust. Send more than one promo email - your audience needs to hear from you multiple times. Let your personality shine through every message. And if you don't know where to start? Create a simple email template to guide you every week, and do a brain dump in a Google Doc of every story or lesson you could share. Amy reminded me of something she learned from Tony Robbins — and something I've said many times myself. Growth comes from being uncomfortable. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to start. Do it scared. Do it messy. But do it. If you've been waiting to “get your list ready,” this is your nudge. Start small. Share one story. Send one email. Stay consistent. Your email list doesn't have to be big, it just has to be active.

In today's marketplace, it seems the best teachers, trainers, and guides must also become performers. We call it “content creators” and if you're not devoting half or more of your time on camera or writing and posting memes, you just won't get any traction. And I find many of the best teachers, trainers, and guides are not naturally the performing type, and they don't want to be. And if they try, it might be embarrassing. So the gap grows between them and the performers who are grabbing the spotlight, getting the attention, and quite possibly selling an inferior offering. What do we do? My guest today is an expert in the world of personal branding. Rory Vaden. I've known Rory for about a decade and watched him become one of the greatest influencers to the world's greatest influencers. His expertise is in studying the psychology of influence – which he defines as the ability to move ourselves, and others, to take action. He's become a personal advisor to many of the world's biggest personal development influencers including: Lewis Howes, Ed Mylett, Amy Porterfield, Trent Shelton, Jasmine Star, Eric Thomas, Dr. Caroline Leaf, John Maxwell and more. He is a very in demand speaker and best selling author. His business, Brand Builders Group, has grown to be a powerhouse for personal branding. But you are about to hear a very sobering conversation. You will hear Rory admit that much of the marketing game today disgusts him. And, if we have something of value, we don't need to become something we are not or do things we don't agree with, but we do need to care enough about helping people that we are willing to play the game to a degree. Even if it's not totally comfortable for us. His new book is titled, Wealthy And Well Known: Build Your Personal Brand and Turn Your Reputation Into Revenue. We talk through some of my frustrations, talk about options and solutions, and in the last quarter of the show talk about the necessity to be primarily known for…one thing. And how he believes you are most powerfully positioned to serve the person you once were.

What if teaching more was actually hurting your sales? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Colin Boyd — one of the world's top speaking and sales coaches, trusted by Amy Porterfield, Jenna Kutcher, and other top entrepreneurs — to unpack the psychology behind high-converting presentations. You'll learn: ✅ Why over-teaching kills conversions (and what to do instead) ✅ How to speak with stories and frameworks that inspire people to buy ✅ The “Lose-the-Sale Line” every entrepreneur needs to know ✅ How to remove resistance, increase desire, and reveal your vehicle — the 3 steps to presentations that sell ✅ How to sell from stage, webinar, or camera without feeling pushy If you're a coach, creator, or entrepreneur who wants to grow your income by communicating more effectively, this episode will change how you speak — and how your audience responds.

If you've ever found yourself saying, “I'll start when I have more time/money/clarity/confidence…” this episode is your permission slip to quit waiting and just start already.

When most personal brands fail to achieve their full potential, it's not because the message isn't valuable; it's generally because the focus is diluted, the strategy is scattered, and the mission gets lost in the noise.  Most entrepreneurs are trying to be everywhere at once, chasing multiple income streams, or mistake branding for self-promotion. The result? Limited results and a message that never reaches the people who need it most. And as you'll hear from today's guest, “The Best Form of Marketing Is A Changed Life.” Rory Vaden is a Hall of Fame keynote speaker, bestselling author of Wealthy and Well-Known (get the audiobook FREE here), and co-founder of Brand Builders Group. His clients include leaders such as Lewis Howes, Ed Mylett, Amy Porterfield, and John Maxwell, and his expertise helps mission-driven messengers turn their reputation into revenue without compromising their purpose. In our conversation, Rory shares why personal branding is first and foremost a spiritual mission, how service (not self-promotion) is the key to long-term success, and why multiple streams of income is the wrong strategy when you're starting out. You'll also learn the five proven ways to monetize a personal brand, why fear is a signal of self-centeredness, and how clarity of mission removes fear altogether.
