And this will wrap up the second launch of BuyMyFuture. Listen to Jason break down the traffic numbers, sales numbers, and thoughts and feelings from the second launch of BuyMyFuture. Thanks for supporting this crazy idea (and this podcast)!

With only a few days left in the second launch of BuyMyFuture, what will Jason be doing? And how does this year compare to last year's launch numbers up until this point? Tune in for all the futur-ey goodness and make sure to visit BuyMyFuture.com before October 4 to buy Jason's future!

Well folks, Jason took a ride on the emotional rollercoaster during the first week of the second launch. It wasn't pretty, but he also didn't want to hide it. Listen to the real-talk he got from his girlfriend, and how you can apply some of the same thoughts to your own selling process. Also, it's time for the mid-way point sales/revenue update. Ooh, ahh. Tune in and don't forget the second launch of BuyMyFuture will no longer be on sale after October 4.

It felt like launch day would never arrive, and then just like that, it was gone in a flash! Jason shares the numbers behind this year's BuyMyFuture launch, along with something pretty crazy and coincidental. You'll also hear about Jason's first experience with Facebook Live and how he made $6,000 by showing up for just 30 people. Launch day is officially in the books. We'll see how the rest of the 2nd BuyMyFuture launch goes!

Up until this point, there hasn't been too much anxiety or nervousness about the 2nd launch of BuyMyFuture. Well, that all changed at 2am this morning when Jason woke up sweating thinking about some technical problem that didn't exist. In this "day before launch" episode, you'll hear from another happy BuyMyFuture buyer, what will happen on the actual launch day, and what someone sounds like when the self doubts creep in ;)

How did he overcome his doubtful thoughts again? And what do a few BuyMyFuture buyers from the first launch have to say about owning Jason's future? Listen to the episode to find out!

Sometimes a project can take on a life of its own, and BuyMyFuture has certainly done that. Hear from Rich, a 2015 BuyMyFuture buyer, as he shares some of his favorite moments, and Jason weighs in on the surprising power of the BuyMyFuture Community. Don't forget, BuyMyFuture.com opens up from September 20 - October 4 and is limited to 200 buyers in 2016.

Would you let $40,000 in revenue go? Jason explains why he's making the decision to NOT do two specific things for the second launch of BuyMyFuture that brought in over $40,000 the first year. Crazy? Well, you have to be crazy to sell your future, don't you?

What does it feel like to launch a product for the second time? Is there more pressure? Is it easier? Jason talks about how he felt at this time last year and how he's feeling before the second launch of BuyMyFuture. He also answers a question from BuyMyFuture buyer Benjamin Lovejoy: "Now that you've had a group of us who bought your future for a while, any regrets? Anything you would change?"

In 2015 there was a lot that went into the launch of BuyMyFuture. Podcast interviews, customer calls, a 60-day journal, Facebook Ads, emails, etc. Will Jason be doing the same things? More things? Less things? Tune in to this episode to find out how Jason will be promoting and marketing the second launch of his flagship product: BuyMyFuture.
