Learn how to leverage advanced AI strategies that most business owners miss The untapped potential of artificial intelligence for business growth. The conversation explores how most people are barely scratching the surface of AI's capabilities, sharing practical examples of how AI can research prospects, create marketing campaigns, build prototypes, and even write books in a fraction of the time traditional methods require. Mike Koenigs is the author of "The AI Accelerator" and founder of the Superpower Accelerator. As one of Charles' early mentors, Mike has consistently stayed ahead of marketing trends and now helps business owners harness AI to expand their capabilities, create one-person marketing teams, elevate their authority, and scale without adding headcount. His innovative "thousand dollars cup of coffee" campaign demonstrates how AI-powered research can transform client consultations and dramatically increase revenue. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Most businesses only scratch the surface of AI potential, using basic ChatGPT instead of the full AI ecosystem. Quality AI output directly reflects quality input—effective prompt crafting is essential. Successful AI adoption requires understanding possibilities, selecting right tools, and focusing on four key functions. Being "tool agnostic" is crucial—multiple AI models provide better insights than any single tool. AI's greatest advantage comes from unleashing imagination and asking better questions. Create AI style guides to capture brand voice and apply consistently across all content. The "one-person marketing department" is now possible through comprehensive AI tools. Mike's "thousand dollars cup of coffee" model demonstrates how AI research transforms high-ticket sales.

In this week's episode of Creatives on Fire, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Stu McLaren—yes, that Stu McLaren! If you've ever considered adding a membership model to your creative business (or are wondering what memberships even are), this episode is your invitation to stop waiting and start creating recurring revenue today. Stu has been helping entrepreneurs build thriving membership businesses for over 17 years. His guidance helped shape the memberships of creators, bloggers, and even big brands. In this conversation, he shares the why, the how, and the what now for anyone ready to build a sustainable business online. Why Memberships Make So Much Sense If you're already paying for Netflix, Amazon Prime, or a subscription box, you're part of the membership economy. So why not create your own recurring revenue stream? Stu shared that memberships are more stable, predictable, and less stressful than relying solely on one-time sales. With algorithm changes, platform instability, and constant pivots in the online world, a membership can bring the peace and sustainability every entrepreneur craves. “Any creator or business owner can have a membership—and the ones who do are creating freedom and stability.” —Stu McLaren The 4 Types of Memberships Stu broke down the four major types of memberships—and you'll probably see yourself in one (or more) of them: Product-Based Memberships Recurring delivery of physical or digital products. Think: printables of the month, subscription boxes, or digital design bundles. Service-Based Memberships Perfect for coaches, massage therapists, stylists, or even VA services. Provide consistent support and recurring client care. Knowledge-Based Memberships Teach a skill, solve an ongoing problem, or save your members time through tools, tutorials, or lesson plans. Community-Based Memberships Foster connection through shared experiences or passions. Think mastermind groups or niche hobby clubs. How to Start: The Founding Member Launch This part is pure gold. Stu outlines a simple, no-tech-needed way to validate your idea and get paid before you build anything. It's called a founding member launch, and it involves these 5 steps: Explain the idea and where it came from Cast the vision for what this could become Invite people to join as founding members Provide a clear call to action Follow up with a payment link That's it. No sales page, no tech hurdles—just a message that allows people to say “I'm in.” And yes, you could literally do this by the end of the day. The Secret to a Thriving Membership in 2025 What makes a membership last? According to Stu, it's all about helping members experience consistent progress. The more progress your members make, the happier they are—and the longer they stay. Keep It Simple Don't overwhelm members with content. Overwhelm is the #1 reason people cancel. Help them take action, not consume endlessly. Use a Success Path Break the transformation into clear, achievable stages. Help members know what to focus on based on where they are in the journey. Leverage AI to Create Margin Let tools handle repetitive tasks so you can focus on real connection. People stay for the results—but also the relationships. Predictable Profits: Stu's New Book Stu's brand-new book Predictable Profits distills 17 years of membership-building wisdom into an actionable, approachable read. He even designed it to be bingeable with bite-sized chapters and lots of visuals (his words: “Yes, I love pictures!”). You can grab a free copy (just pay shipping) at:

Learn how to land billion dollar clients using revenue based sales strategies In this episode, Stephen Roche shares his proven approach for landing enterprise clients in the competitive financial industry. He reveals why tying products to new revenue generation, rather than just cost savings is the secret to winning major clients like BlackRock and JP Morgan. Stephen explains how building trust through thought leadership, leveraging strategic PR, and using authentic LinkedIn engagement creates a powerful sales ecosystem that makes you the safer choice for potential clients. Stephen Roche is the Co-Founder and President of Saphyre, a patented AI-powered platform that streamlines pre- and post-trade processes for financial institutions. Founded in 2017 with his identical twin brother Gabino, Saphyre has revolutionized the industry by enabling T+1 and even T-Zero trade settlements, helping financial institutions meet new SEC mandates while eliminating the traditional web of manual tasks. The company raised $18.7M in Series A funding in 2022 and boasts an impressive client roster including BlackRock, JP Morgan, and Citigroup. Key Takeaways: Tie your product to new revenue generation rather than just cost savings to make it irresistible to potential clients. Create a "safer option" by building market validation through visible client partnerships and thought leadership. Be authentic on LinkedIn by balancing industry insights with personal content instead of just corporate messaging. Use event sponsorships strategically to gain speaking opportunities that establish thought leadership in your industry. Leverage PR by negotiating press releases with clients and repurposing that content across multiple channels. Document your journey authentically rather than relying on corporate-approved marketing materials that feel impersonal. Use "social proof" from major clients to create FOMO among their competitors who aren't using your solution yet. Consider offering warrant structures tied to performance metrics for strategic partnerships instead of giving away equity upfront. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats.

Predictable Profitable Membership Models with Stu McLaren   What if your current business model is quietly killing your freedom? That's the harsh truth Stu McLaren uncovered—and when he made the switch, everything changed.

Learn how to to Scale from 6 to 8 Figures in Just One Year Grow your business faster, make smarter marketing decisions, and stop missing out on sales. In this episode of the Beyond 7 Figures podcast, hear how one expert helped a company go from $25,000 to $90,000 a month in just 90 days and reach 8 figures in one year. Learn why getting a high return on ad spend (ROAS) isn't always a good thing, what really holds businesses back from growing, and how fixing your operations can lead to bigger profits. No matter what kind of business you run, products, services, or agency. These tips can help you scale the right way. Joe Putnam is the founder of Conversion Engine, an agency that specializes in growing e-commerce brands through data-driven marketing strategies. Drawing from his experience scaling a client from six to eight figures in just one year, Joe shares insights on channel selection, attribution challenges, and the importance of looking beyond first-click metrics. His approach combines Meta ad campaigns, email and SMS optimization, and operational excellence to create sustainable growth. Joe's expertise extends beyond e-commerce, with applicable strategies for service businesses, B2B companies, and agencies looking to scale predictably. KEY TAKEAWAYS: A high return on ad spend (ROAS) might look good, but growing at a lower ROAS can actually make more money. Many businesses struggle to grow not because of bad marketing, but because their operations aren't ready to handle more sales. You don't need to be on every platform; it's better to focus on one or two channels that give the best results. Most of your profit comes after the first sale, so it's important to build strong follow-up and repeat customer systems. Ads don't always get credit right away, since many people buy days or even weeks after seeing them. The best way to grow is by using clear data to make smart decisions instead of guessing or following trends. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

Learn how to use text messaging to get more leads, book more calls, and grow your business faster. In this episode of Beyond 7 Figures podcast, Charles Gaudet talks with Chris Brisson about how SMS has become the most effective way to reach people, explaining how it works, why it outperforms email and phone calls, and how simple changes like adding a text to your funnel can lead to big results, with real examples of businesses using text and AI to grow, save time, and connect more effectively with their audience. Guest: Chris Brisson Guest bio:  CEO and Co-Founder of Salesmsg KEY TAKEAWAYS: Text messaging has a 98% open rate compared to email's much lower open rate of 12-20%. Businesses need to get approved by carriers to use text messaging, which involves a simple compliance process that takes about 6.5 minutes. Nearly half (45%) of people prefer texting businesses rather than calling them. Text messaging helps engage leads quickly while they're interested, qualify them, and ensure they show up for appointments. Text messaging can be used throughout the customer lifecycle - from generating leads to getting reviews and referrals. Adding text messaging to existing business processes without changing anything else can increase results by 5-15%. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be.

Learn how AI is changing the way businesses grow and connect with people. AI is changing the game in marketing, content creation, and business growth. But here's the real question how do you use AI without losing the personal touch that sets your business apart? In this episode, I sit down with Ronsley Vaz, an expert in podcasting and business, to talk about the balance between AI and human connection. He breaks down how you can leverage AI to scale, reach more people, and tell better stories without sounding robotic. Whether you're new to AI or looking for smarter ways to integrate it into your business, this conversation is packed with real strategies you can apply right now.     Guest: Ronsley Vaz Guest bio: A computer scientist, software engineer, author, TED speaker, serial entrepreneur, and podcaster.   KEY TAKEAWAYS:   AI can help businesses grow, but human connection is still the key to building trust. Storytelling makes your brand stand out, even in an AI-driven world. Podcasting is a powerful way to connect with your audience and build authority. AI can save time by automating tasks, but it should not replace personal engagement. Great conversations create more impact than just pushing out content. Using AI the right way can help businesses reach more people and scale faster. Authenticity matters—your audience wants to connect with real people, not just automation. AI and human creativity work best together when used to enhance, not replace, each other.     Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures.   The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats.

Learn How to Develop Your Unique Advantage Point and Stand Out From Competitors In this episode of the Beyond Seven Figures podcast, I explore why having a Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is no longer enough to differentiate your business in today's competitive marketplace. I'm joined by my long-time business partner and coach, Tom Trush, to discuss the superior strategy of developing a Unique Advantage Point (UAP) - a powerful approach that focuses on the specific advantages you provide to customers rather than just being different. We reveal practical strategies for creating a UAP that makes you the obvious choice for clients, commands premium pricing, and eliminates apples-to-apples comparisons with competitors. Guest: Tom TrushGuest Bio: Business Coach at Predictable Profits, Marketing Strategist, and former Journalist KEY TAKEAWAYS: Competition extends beyond your industry - you're competing for your customer's dollar against all alternatives. USPs only tell how you're different; UAPs demonstrate specific customer advantages of working with you. Businesses without clear differentiation end up competing solely on price. Create proprietary processes with unique names to make services tangible and inimitable. Use data-backed claims about client results to establish powerful market differentiation. Leverage third-party credibility markers like media recognition and "highest-rated" status. Implement strong, unconventional guarantees to attract better clients while reducing refunds. Display your UAP prominently in all marketing materials for quick prospect recognition. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures.

Too many companies write off outbound as “ineffective” because they've tried blasting cold emails or LinkedIn messages—only to get ignored. The truth is, outbound isn't dead; bad outbound is. In this outbound sales masterclass, we're breaking down the right way to do outbound—the method that consistently books calls, builds relationships, and fills your pipeline with ideal clients: The Super Consumer Advantage – How to identify and target the customers who will spend the most and stay the longest Preheating for Success – Why most outbound fails (and how to warm up leads so they want to talk to you) The Conversation-First Approach – A proven framework for starting real, high-converting conversations—without feeling like a pushy salesperson Plus, we'll reveal the #1 mistake businesses make with outbound (and how to fix it), the secret to “I see you everywhere” marketing, and why outbound can outperform paid ads when done correctly. Joining me is an expert who have mastered this process Jerson Mellizo, head of outbound at the company. If you've ever thought outbound was too hard or ineffective, this episode will change your mind. It's time to stop waiting for leads to come to you—and start creating them on demand.

When I first started my subscription box, I thought I was selling cute products.  I didn't realize my audience wasn't just buying things—they were buying transformation. They wanted to feel confident, stylish, and put-together, but my messaging wasn't reflecting that.  Making that shift—from selling products to selling a feeling—was one of the biggest game-changers in my business. And it can be the biggest game changer in your business, too.  The person who helped me understand the need for this shift in messaging was my very special guest on this episode, my mentor Stu McLaren. Stu McLaren is the go-to expert when it comes to creating and scaling profitable memberships. For the past 17 years, he's helped business owners build recurring revenue models that provide stability, growth, and freedom–hello, recurring revenue! And now, he's packed his best insights into a brand-new book, Predictable Profits. Before I took Stu's course in 2018, I had about 300 subscribers in my subscription box business. I had hit a plateau and didn't know how to break through it. Stu's course showed me the biggest reason for my plateau. I was focusing on selling instead of serving. People don't subscribe to a box because of what's inside. They buy it because of how it makes them feel. My audience wanted to feel stylish, confident, and put together without spending hours shopping or second-guessing their outfits. Once I shifted my messaging to reflect that transformation, my business took off. How to Shift Your Messaging to Serve Instead of Sell Want to make this shift in your own business? Here are three key takeaways from my conversation with Stu: 1. Understand Your Customer's Journey Instead of just thinking about what's inside your subscription box, think about how it impacts your customer's life. Ask yourself: What problem are you solving? What feeling are you creating? 2. Speak to Their “Before and After” Stu shared a simple but powerful exercise. I did it with him and want you to do it, too.  Draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper. On one side, write down all the frustrations and struggles your customers feel before they purchase. On the other side, write down how they feel after they've experienced your subscription box. Your messaging needs to focus on bridging that gap. 3. Focus on Transformation, Not Just Features My customers don't just want earrings, bags, or t-shirts—they want confidence, ease, and style. What does your audience want? Your messaging should highlight the outcome, not just the product itself. I went from 300 subscribers to 750 in my next launch. And over time, I've built a seven-figure subscription business that gives me the stability and confidence to scale even further. With predictable, stable income coming in each month, you can make smarter business decisions, invest in growth, and stop feeling like you're constantly chasing sales. Recurring revenue is business and life-changing!  And that's why Stu's book Predictable Profits is such an amazing resource—it walks you through exactly how to build and scale a business that runs with you, not just because of you.

Learn how to implement retention strategies that drive sustainable growth and stop client churn. Most businesses pour endless time and money into generating new leads, closing deals, and driving sales. But what if I told you that the real key to long-term, scalable growth isn't just about getting clients—it's about keeping them? Too many companies focus on the front end of sales while ignoring the leaky bucket in their business: high client churn. And here's the truth—if you don't fix retention, no amount of lead generation will help you scale sustainably. In this episode, we're uncovering the most effective retention strategies that separate thriving businesses from those constantly struggling to stay afloat: The Hidden Cost of Churn – Why losing clients kills profitability and how to stop the bleed Predictive Retention Metrics – How to track client success before they even think about leaving Operationalizing Retention – The exact systems and touchpoints that keep clients engaged and loyal Surprise & Delight Tactics – Small yet powerful ways to turn customers into lifelong fans Onboarding That Reduces Attrition – How to set the right expectations and eliminate buyer's remorse from day one To break it all down, I'm joined by Joe Beecroft and Walker Renfrow from Predictable Profits, a company known for helping some of the fastest-growing businesses in the country scale predictably. Joe works directly with CEOs and founders to overcome growth challenges, helping 15 companies land on the Inc. 5000 list.

Learn how to niche down and drive predictable growth. Today, we're diving into the secret weapon behind some of the world's fastest-growing companies niching down. We'll explore why businesses that specialize getting laser-focused on who they serve and how they serve them tend to grow faster and more sustainably. Joining me today is Joe Beecroft, one of the driving forces at Predictable Profits, where he's helped countless entrepreneurs grow and scale their businesses. With a track record that includes helping 15 companies land on the Inc. 5000 list, Joe knows what it takes to succeed. He's here to share some incredible insights on how niching down can lead to massive growth. Let's get started! In this episode you will: Niching down allows businesses to focus on a specific audience, making marketing, sales, and operations more streamlined and effective. Specialized businesses tend to command higher prices and retain clients longer due to their expertise in solving targeted problems. Defining a clear market, specific problems, and a unique process creates a powerful foundation for scalable growth. Businesses that align their messaging and offerings with their "super consumers" see higher retention and referral rates. Trying to serve too broad a market leads to inefficiency and missed opportunities for deeper market penetration. Choosing a niche doesn't exclude all other opportunities but ensures that marketing and systems are designed for a focused audience. Data-driven decisions about your niche can help identify the most profitable and impactful areas of growth for your business. All this and more, on this week's episode of Beyond 7 Figures.

You've felt it—that unsettling plateau in your sales. The industry is shifting, and while people are still buying, they're not clicking like they used to. Your launches are solid but aren't scaling the way you expected. It's as if your lead pool is shrinking, and you're left wondering why. You're up late, thinking, "What's my next move?" Your programs are gold, but the steady flow of clients has slowed to a trickle. It's frustrating, especially when you see others thriving—colleagues and industry leaders seem to have cracked the code, but there's a disconnect somewhere between your marketing and sales. Doubt creeps in, and you wonder if you're losing your edge. But then, you remind yourself, "No way. I'm damn good at this. I just need to figure it out." You've taken every course, masterclass, and marketing program out there—sales psychology, copywriting, perfecting hooks for reels. But none of it matters if no one is seeing your content. You're posting consistently, but the algorithm feels like it's working against you. It's beyond frustrating—knowing you have the expertise but feeling like your voice is getting lost. In this episode, I'm breaking down how to stop chasing algorithms and start creating predictable, consistent sales that don't rely on social media games. I'll share with you that I know exactly what you've been experiencing and feeling and how it's been showing up for you.
