Today on the Subscription Entrepreneur Podcast we are proud to have Jack Born on the show. Now, before I introduce you to him, I’d like to quickly take a step back and point out how fortunate we are to have Jack on the show. You see, Jack is a marketing virtuoso who’s been actively building online businesses since 2001. Over the years, he’s collaborated with some of the most successful online entrepreneurs like Perry Marshall, Ryan Levesque, Andre Chaperon, and more. At one point, Jack even helped tennis hall-of-famer and Olympic gold medalist Gigi Fernandez successfully launch her digital product. To say that Jack knows his stuff about online marketing and business building would be an understatement. If there were a marketing Hall of Fame, he’d be voted in on the first ballot without question. Anyway, I bring all of this up to say that having Jack on the podcast is truly an opportunity for you to learn from a master. In our conversation, we dive deep into one of the most important aspects of an online business: your marketing funnels. So, if you’ve ever wondered if there was a way to improve your own funnels or are still trying to wrap your mind around what they actually are… this is the episode for you. And after you listen, you might feel like you just got the condensed version of a masters-level class in online marketing. So, without further ado, let’s get to it!
