Affiliate marketing, passive income, making money online, high-ticket sales, and ClickFunnels changed Tim Hewitt's life after his $2 million golf business collapsed. Tim spent decades as a software engineer while building side businesses on the side. At one point, he built an online golf company to more than $2 million per year. Then the 2008 financial crisis hit, and revenue crashed almost overnight. Years later, after moving to Malaysia, returning home during COVID, and finding himself stuck with a warehouse full of inventory he couldn't sell, Tim made a decision: He would never build another business that depended on physical products. Instead, he learned affiliate marketing, discovered ClickFunnels, studied Russell Brunson's books, and built a business helping complete beginners earn income online through high-ticket affiliate marketing. In this episode, Tim shares the lessons he learned from building, losing, rebuilding, and reinventing himself over a 40-year entrepreneurial journey. In this episode, you'll learn: • How Tim built a $2 million online golf business • What it felt like when revenue crashed from $2M to $100K • Why he walked away from physical products and inventory • How COVID became the catalyst for an entirely new business • The affiliate marketing framework he uses to help beginners get started • Why most lead magnets fail to generate sales • The difference between low-ticket and high-ticket offers • How ClickFunnels and Russell Brunson influenced his business transformation • Why software engineers and technical professionals can succeed in marketing • The biggest mistakes new affiliate marketers make Whether you're trying to build a side hustle, create passive income, start affiliate marketing, or transition out of a traditional career, Tim's story is proof that reinvention is possible at any stage of life. Sometimes the fastest way forward isn't doubling down on what used to work. It's learning an entirely new game. Ready to build your funnel?

I've always been fascinated by how some companies manage to create not just customers, but passionate communities who become true advocates. My guest today, Russell Brunson, has mastered this, building ClickFunnels to a staggering 100,000+ users *without any outside funding*. In our conversation, Russell broke down the exact framework he used to achieve this, a framework born from studying thousands of successful movements across history, politics, and even religion. If you've ever wondered how to inspire loyalty that goes beyond a simple transaction and transforms your audience into a committed tribe, this episode reveals the secrets to building a movement, not just a business.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction02:16 Studying Successful Movements03:30 From Educator to Movement Leader04:58 The Three Core Elements of a Movement06:25 The Attractive Character (The Guide)07:05 The New Opportunity (Not Just an Improvement)09:24 The Future-Based Cause12:12 Universal Principles in Movements13:17 The Power of Positioning18:47 Crafting the New Opportunity27:12 The Importance of Customer Alignment28:16 Cutting Through the Noise with Your Message33:23 The Power of Customer Stories35:12 Why General Messaging Can Be More Powerful46:17 Milestones and Awards for Motivation50:50 Creating Belief and Encouraging Progress52:33 Scaling with Progressive Achievement59:55 Where to Learn More from Russell BrunsonIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

I recorded this one from my car — a little hat tip to Russell Brunson, who taught me that "in the car" beats "not at all" — because I had something I couldn't wait to break down: the launch my client Jessie Gene just ran on Instagram, and what it actually teaches the rest of us. I met Jessie back in the ClickFunnels Two Comma Club days when I was a head coach and she was running a binge and disordered eating recovery program, and even then she had this rare combination of high standards and magnetic transparency. Fast-forward through her walking away from a 150,000-follower account to start completely over — beating the sunk cost fallacy that traps most people — building a new account to 400,000 followers in five months, and launching her YAP Challenge to hundreds of sales a day on FG Funnels. Here's the thing I want you to take away: a big following does not equal big money, and her conversion rate wasn't even special — six or seven percent, same as everybody else. The difference was that her content drove over 35,000 people to that sales page. So the real lesson is a multiplication problem. It's not marketing plus traffic, it's marketing chops times traffic — and if either number is zero, your launch is zero. This episode is for the marketer who has a great offer and great copy but only a hundred people looking, and for the content creator with the audience but not the marketing skills to monetize it. You need both. Most people have exactly one.

There's a particular kind of marketing that doesn't lie outright — it just speaks directly to your inner child. And your inner child will say yes to almost anything.In this episode, I'm breaking down what I'm calling shadow marketing — the art of crafting a story that activates the part of you that wants things to be easy, wants to be seen without the grind, wants the result without the decade of compounding that actually built it.I walk through a specific example: a woman who appeared to go from zero to a million dollar launch in six months, just by "yapping" on Instagram. At first glance — a new account, no strategy, just showing up and talking. Except when you look a little deeper: a previous account with 150,000 followers, eight-plus years of social media mastery, Russell Brunson's Two Comma Club, a large email list, and a podcast with hundreds of episodes behind her.The career break wasn't a career break. The ease wasn't accidental. The magic was structure.This is the conversation the feminine desperately needs to have — because shadow marketing works precisely because it bypasses discernment and lands in the place that wants to be told it doesn't have to do the hard thing. But the hard thing is exactly what created the ease you're watching.In this episode:What shadow marketing is and why it's so effective on women with strong feminine energyThe inner child archetype as a marketing target — innocent, naive, and unprotected from face-value promisesWhat was actually behind the "overnight" million dollar launchThe inner masculine as the compounding function — structure, discipline, showing up daily across yearsWhy the ease you want is real, but it lives on the other side of the individuationThe alchemical marriage: how the feminine gets to feel free because the masculine has been doing the workThe shortcut is an illusion. The compounding is the truth. And when you finally have both — the structure and the love for what you do — it does feel easy. That's when the million dollar launches happen.

Most podcasters spread themselves too thin and wonder why nothing compounds. Ross Stockdale spent six years building 30,000 downloads across three different shows. Then he made one decision, went all in on The Thunder Stock Show, and hit nearly 400,000 downloads in nine months. A former MMA cage fighter turned fractional CMO, Ross treats podcasting the way he trained for fights: every rep builds on the last one. In this episode of Podcasting Secrets with host Nathan Gwilliam, Ross shares Russell Brunson's advice to ignore analytics for the first 100 episodes, why he monetizes through guest referrals instead of sponsors, the three-stage growth framework that removed his mental fatigue, and the personal loss that taught him when to cancel a recording instead of forcing it. He also explains how podcasting can 40x a business's online presence without expensive production, and why pattern recognition matters more than natural talent for long-term growth.

Most people think they need a better product, a better offer, or a better funnel to grow. The real bottleneck is simpler than that: how you describe what you sell. If your words do not make your solution sound as good as it truly is, you lose to competitors with worse products and better communication. Dan Henry is the founder of GetClients.com and a Wall Street Journal bestselling author who has done stage closes for Russell Brunson and built multiple businesses from scratch. In this conversation with Jeremy Miner, Dan reveals the psychology behind why people buy "good sounding" products over good products and shares the Mint.com story where identical products produced wildly different results based on one sentence.

In this episode, I'm sharing my honest, unfiltered take on Russell Brunson firing his entire copywriting team and why the reaction from both sides of the debate is missing the point entirely. I break down why AI replacing humans is the wrong conversation to be having, what the integration actually looks like inside a real business, and the one question every entrepreneur should be running their AI decisions through before they waste time chasing shiny objects. If you've been feeling behind, overwhelmed, or like you're watching everyone else "win" with AI while you're still figuring it out, this episode is for you.

What if you could sell a product before you ever bought it? Trey Lewellen has done over $100 million in e-commerce sales. He's been using ClickFunnels longer than almost anyone. And when Russell Brunson needs an e-commerce sounding board, Trey is his first call. But before the warehouses and the team, Trey proved you could test products without owning them. That method is still how he validates every product today. His breakthrough? 100 flashlights gathering dust in a closet. He listed them at $12 on a funnel, buying them for $5 on Amazon. They sold. He kept raising the price: $25, $35, $45, then $56. At $56, while Amazon sold the same flashlight for $5, he moved over 500,000 units in two and a half months. He used Amazon as his warehouse, only buying inventory after customers paid him. If the funnel flopped, he'd lose nothing. That's still his method. Test first. Invest second. Never marry a product until you know people will buy it. In this episode, Trey breaks down: How he sold 500,000 flashlights at $56 each (while they cost $5 on Amazon) The one phone call that doubled his conversions overnight by adding a single word to his headline His Amazon arbitrage testing method and why he never buys inventory before he has sales Why 98% of Shopify traffic leaves without buying and how funnels flip that conversion rate The two-step opt-in system that captures leads even when people don't purchase Why he calls people who don't buy (and how those calls give him better copy than any AI) The belly button ring guy who went from 50,000 SKUs to one product and scaled faster than ever Why most e-commerce owners focus on ads, products, and niches but never question if their store is the problem This episode is for anyone who's been waiting for the "right time" to start selling online. Trey's testing method proves you don't need inventory or a perfect plan before you make your first sale. You just need proof people will buy. Ready to build your funnel?

Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive Transcript Jason Hull (00:01) Five, four, three, two, one. All right, we are Jason and Sarah Hull, the owners of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses.   We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now, let's get into the show. Okay, so in today's episode, we are gonna be chatting about what, Sarah? We just went to...   weird place to go, but we voluntarily went to Boise, Idaho. What? Boise is a cool place. Boise is a cool place. It's but chilly temperature wise. Okay. Affirmative. It's better than... I'm not going to start ripping on places. This is not a good precedent to set. All of your places, if you're listening, are awesome, including... I think Boise is super cool. It's a beautiful area. Beautiful area.   Okay, Sarah is not a fan of Boise apparently, but I like Boise. So my two favorite places that I was thinking of living were Boise and Austin, and we ended up in Boise. We did not end up in Boise. mean, we ended up in Austin. That's what I meant. We ended up in Austin. All right, can we move forward? so we went to an event in Boise. Russell Brunson. Cool, Russell Brunson's headquarters is in Boise.   So we went there and we are part of his inner circle, which is a $50,000 a year mastermind. And we're always trying to learn from the best. think he is probably the most savvy internet marketer on the face of the earth right now, or at least one of the top. And he's quite brilliant. And he's just a really good human and he attracts really, really cool entrepreneur, entrepreneurial people, like the people that he curates.   So the people in the mastermind make it way cooler. Like as one of the ladies said when we were there, she's like, I thought Russell's cool, but you're all cooler. yeah. She said, I joined for Russell. I She said, I only joined for Russell, but you know what? You guys are like so awesome. Like you guys make this way better than I even thought. And she said, don't tell Russell I said that. But I'm kind of here for you guys now. Yeah. All right.   Cool, so, and we got to hang out and they split us up into rooms and they put kind of a, I don't know, like a leader or a coach over each room. And we had Annie Grace who had been in a previous mastermind with me with Alex Sharpen. And she wrote a really awesome book called This Naked Mind, built this empire helping people get free from the addiction of alcohol and doing something very different than what's typically done that's been very, very effective.   And she's been very close to Russell and learned a lot of really cool stuff and she scaled her business very large. And so it was great to have her leading the room. So first we had this badass, Annie Grace leading the room. And then in our room, we also had Myron Golden, which if any of you have ever followed any of his stuff, like this guy helps people, tenets their businesses just by helping them shift their money mindset, help them shift their thing about fees and stuff. He doesn't target property management business owners.   We haven't even paid money to Myron yet, but we got to hang out in the room with him and he does some extremely high ticket coaching. And so it was really cool to have him in the room, give feedback. And we also, who else do we have in the room? Dr. Benjamin Hardy. Awesome guy, right? Yeah. So Ben Hardy. So if you ever heard of the book 10 X is easier than two X or who not how, or all these, he's written a lot of books.   Science of scaling his latest one really awesome time as a tool He was in the room giving hanging out with us as well. We were hanging out with Richmond din he is and runs an eight figure coaching bit or business to helping people with tiny challenges and like there's just there was so many there's another guy that has a VA company I think he said he told me he's doing 50 million a year. So we were hanging out in the room with cool people   and we got to present and share and then we got to get feedback from others, which was really awesome. So it was just really cool. So what do we want to tell them about this? So one of the things that we have known for a really long time is being in rooms like that is just so powerful and it's really it's invaluable. Yeah. Because one little thing that you can take away, just one, you don't need a list, you don't need, you know, notebooks.   You don't need all this. Oh, I know what to do and I've got 15 things That I'm gonna do this week and then after that I've got the next 98 on my list like that's probably too much You don't need that much you need one thing from the right person and that is really enough to pay for the whole year of Program which is incredible. Yeah   It's connected us with such amazing incredible growth minded very outward focused People who are looking to change the world and have an impact and do amazing things. They're not you know, just in it because They want to be they're not just in it because they go, you know, I guess I can make some money Yeah, like they're they're looking to really have an impact and make it   tremendous change in this world and being connected with people like that at events like this is so incredible and every single time that we go to one of these events I never know what we're going to get out of it before we go. I just know that it's going to be amazing. So I don't go into it   Looking for a specific thing. I don't go into it thinking okay I need to figure out how to do this or I need this answer or I need to do this thing or talk to this person or get this you know answer to this question or you know this Strategy that I'm looking for I never go into it with anything most of the events that we've gone to We go into it Sometimes not even feeling like we need anything Yeah, lot of times we just go   And we go, I don't really think I need anything. think we're pretty solid. Let's just be in the room. And even when you go into it with that mindset, man, you still get stuck. You still, you still, go, man, I didn't even know that I needed that. And I'm so glad that we were there. I'm so glad that we got it. And sometimes it's just being around people who think the same way that you do or think even bigger.   than you do because if you think, hey, you know, I've made it, right? Like we all have that moment in life where we go, I'm like, made it, I'm good, I make this much, I can take care of my family, I can, you know, do the things that I want and have the things that I want and, you know, have this lifestyle that maybe is even better than you had ever imagined. And sometimes we go, okay, I've arrived, I'm here, I've made it. And then you get into a room like that and you go, wow, there's so much more.   There's so much more that I can do and there's so much more that I can give and there's so much more that I can be. Yes. Amazing. So good. Yeah. So I've been in a lot of different masterminds. and I together have been in several and yeah, being around the right people is what it takes to level up. Your business is the sum of the five entrepreneurs or   business owners that you spend the most time with basically. And you need to be in the right room. And so we've decided, know, we recently, one of our mentors, Aaron Stokes, was, he founded ShopFix Academy, he coaches auto repair shops. He was very generous and we worked with him and he taught us a lot of stuff. He recently passed and he crashed his plane, which was really sad. I really had a hard time kind of.   coming to grips with that and being in Boise was helpful for that. I got to share with everybody some of the stuff with our group that I had learned from Aaron, which was awesome because Aaron's stuff was really great. I shared about the importance of believing in people and hope and how that actually affects your clients more than your tactics and how I rarely end a coaching call without telling the person, hey, I believe in you, you can do this. And that's from Aaron.   And so I shared a little bit of some of the things Aaron taught and it was awesome because it was nice to see the caliber of people that we were in the room with resonate with it and see Myron Golden thanking me for sharing that and other people that, you know, just saying, hey, this is true. This is awesome stuff. We have decided to shift our own mastermind to being more in-person. Why? So.   The challenge is most property managers are stuck trying to grow from behind a screen. They're watching webinars, they're sitting on Zoom calls, they're collecting PDFs maybe that they'll never read, and they're wondering why nothing ever changes. Have you ever been there? I've been there. Things didn't really start to happen for me until I started getting in the room. Now, there's a lot of stuff you can learn and things that can happen digitally, but what we found is that when people are in person, something shifts.   Transformation is what's needed to grow the business. As Erin would say, if you change the owner of the business, you change the shop. Fix the owner, fix the shop. So if we fix the property management business owner, if we can trans, and that's been our mission statement, our mission statement at DoorGrow is to transform property management business owners and their businesses. But we know that   Transformation comes by getting you in person and changing the business owner. We just don't see it happen digitally. just, it doesn't work as well. So we started onboarding all of our clients in person and that's been huge. It's been huge in so many ways, getting deep into their business, identifying a ton of problems that they would hide behind a screen and not share, getting real about them, getting transparent. And so there's just been big shifts with that. Now we're shifting to our   activities and our events being in person. And so if you don't change your environment, that's the challenge is you if you if you're always in your office, you're always behind a screen, you're always on your phone, whatever, that environment is the environment you're already in, you have to change the environment in order to change the person. And so the people around you, they aren't moving fast enough, they don't think big enough. And nobody's holding you to the standard that you know you're capable of. And so the door grow mastermind that we've   curated and created has amazing people. And so we want these people to be around each other, rubbing shoulders, getting to know each other, creating friendships, finding mentors, finding heroes, people they look up to. I've had people that I looked up to like Aaron and they changed our business. And so this mastermind, it's about getting serious. It's about coming out, spending time here in Austin with us, getting multiple times a year.   working on your business. So we just created an announcement for our spring intensive, where we're gonna go deep into our clients' businesses. If you wanna be part of this, if you wanna sample this, you wanna experience some of this, then reach out to us. You're welcome to come hang out with us. We'd love for you to get a taste, but you show up, you get in the room with other owners that are actually doing the work and you leave with a plan, momentum, relationships.   that are going to change you. They're going to change how your business goes. And all of the cool stuff we've had, it's all there still. Like the weekly calls on the online community, our new DoorGrow Hub app, which is amazing. All the trainings inside of DoorGrow Academy, that's all there, but that's really exists to keep you executing between your trips to Austin, where we grow and help you figure out how to grow your business. And those things are support system, which is nice, but it's not the main event.   And so that's the big shift that we're doing in the mastermind.   people walk out of that room different. And people walk out of that room with connections and friendships that will just last. And it's because you're surrounding yourself with your people. When you find your people, there is something that you can just feel it. You can feel the energy in the room. There's something that ignites inside of you. I was sitting in that room, and this is not our first Russell event, but I was sitting in that room and I was going, man, these are my people.   This is like, this is where we need to be. Yeah. And talking to Benjamin Hardy and going, yeah, you're right. I have no idea why I'm thinking 10 million. You're right. 10 million is a stupid number. That's, that's like child's play. You're right. I should be going for a hundred million. I have no idea why I wasn't going for a hundred million, but now there's like a clear path and a clear, reason to do it. And   I would not have been thinking 100 million is a reasonable number for us if I didn't end up in that room with Benjamin Hardy. Yeah, let's go. Let's do it. Right. OK. I mean, the impact that we get that we can have by doing that will be awesome. And, you know, that was a big block for me. I realize I'm like, I don't care enough about the money.   but I care about impact and that gets me excited and money is your ability to create impact. That's how you have reach. So let me know if, listen to this and let us know, are you stuck in this cycle? Are you exhausted, overwhelmed, stuck as the bottleneck in your own business? Do you feel like you can't keep up? You no longer love or even like the business that you built.   Maybe you're spending too much time doing admin work, playing catch up while your competitors are signing the clients you should have. Have you promised your family next year will be different? Maybe we'll have that vacation, but nothing changes. Do you start projects with great intentions but struggle to follow through without accountability? Are you tired of trying to figure everything out alone, which as I say is the slowest path to growth? While your competitors seem to have all the support and figure it out, well, you're not alone.   That's what most property managers, they're saying things like, I want to grow, but I'm the bottleneck. Everything depends on me. I need to either sell the business or move on or make this sustainable. Finally, I want to add more doors, but I'm overwhelmed. They don't know where to start. If I don't solve this, I'll stay stuck and growth will stall or worse. I'll start losing doors and clients. And maybe you experienced that. So this is stuff that we tackle in our mastermind. So we'll help you get the business going. We'll help you get the business cleaned up. So   I want you to step into your future real quick and then we'll wrap up. Just imagine this picture yourself. You're walking into a room in Austin, Texas, full of other property management business owners. These aren't tire kickers or people collecting info. These are operators who got on a plane because they're serious about building something real. These aren't people going to a property management conference just to go to the bar and check out from their life, right? At the hotel.   These people got on a plane because they're serious. And you sit down at a table with owners, they manage maybe 50, 200, 500 plus doors, maybe someone a thousand, right? Someone shares how they added 30 doors last month, maybe using our Realtor intro engine, another owner walks you through how they restructured their pricing and add another 25K in their monthly revenue. A third pulls you aside at the evening mixer and says, I was exactly where you were eight months ago. Here's what changed everything for me. You can't.   get that on a Zoom call. You can't get that in a Facebook group. You can't get that through a video or training. That kind of moment changes everything. Michael Poon, he had that experience before he added 40 units in July. Last year, Ken Harmon had it when he went from zero to 105 doors in six months by putting in just one or two hours a day. This is what happens when you stop trying to figure everything out alone and you step into a room that makes it harder to play small like Sarah was talking about.   So now picture this, you're back at home, three days after our spring intensive, you're executing your 90 day plan with total clarity, your accountability partner texts you, hey, I just hit my goal for the week, how are you doing? You made that friend or that connection, and you realize you're not just building a business, you're building relationships that are gonna last for years, and these have to be built in person.

Welcome everybody. I'm Jason Hull, the owner and founder of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we've brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses.   We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now let's get into the show. All right. So today this show is going to be all about giving your teenager the headstart that you wish you had as an entrepreneur. Don't you wish you could just go back and like help yourself out. So I'm hanging out here today with Malcolm. Malcolm, welcome. Welcome, Keith.   Malcolm Keith (00:56) Hey, thank you.   Jason Hull (00:59) welcome to the show. So I'll give you a little bit of background on Malcolm. At just 17, Malcolm launched Teen Mastermind, a growing community of more than 60 teens dedicated to leadership, entrepreneurship, and building a meaningful legacy. Now 19, Malcolm has taken that vision even further by bringing the movement into the real world with Teen Mastermind Live, a three-day immersive leadership experience designed for both teens and their parents.   In a time when most conversations about young people revolve around screen addiction and disconnection and lack of direction, Malcolm represents a powerful counter narrative. As a young leader himself, he's helping teens step into confidence, develop entrepreneurial thinking and strengthen family relationships around shared purpose and growth. So Malcolm, welcome to the DoorGrow show.   Malcolm Keith (01:53) Awesome. Thank you so much. I'm excited to be here.   Jason Hull (01:56) Cool, cool. So now tell people a little bit, how did you get started doing this and how did you kind of start your little entrepreneurial journey yourself?   Malcolm Keith (02:09) Yeah, so my parents got married and opened their dojo the same year. And so I've been in the entrepreneurial world my entire life, about as long as I've been on the mats doing jujitsu. And so those two go very hand in hand in my journey. ⁓ And so I think when I was when I was nine years old is when my parents, they've been going to a mastermind for ⁓ martial arts school owners. And so they've been like, you   Jason Hull (02:17) Thank   Malcolm Keith (02:38) One parent would go while the other parent would stay home and take care of me and my little sister. But one day they were like, why are we continuing to do this? We, we homeschool and we have the ability to just take the whole family together and it kind of sucks when the family is split apart. So why don't we just, so they made a commitment to always take the whole family on every trip, on every business trip. And so we got to sit in the meeting rooms.   and learn from these entrepreneurs. At first we were like little kids just playing with our toys quietly in the corner, reading a book quietly. But ⁓ as a little kid, you're a little information sponge. And so eventually we actually started listening and taking notes. And then I think it was probably when we went to some of Russell's events, like Funnel Hacking Live and Unlock the Secrets was when I was like, this entrepreneur stuff is super cool. And it wasn't my parents who were   directly telling me like, you need to be a business owner. This is how being an entrepreneur works. It was the people on stage that, so my parents put me in these rooms where there were people on stage and they were the ones that were selling me on the idea of entrepreneurship. And so that's how, that's kind of how I got into this whole world.   Jason Hull (03:56) You had entrepreneurial parents and they put you in some amazing opportunities and rooms to be exposed to think differently. And man, that's like the best homeschool education ever, right? It's a real education that actually leads you making money instead of just being a really good employee somewhere maybe. cool. And your parents are doing, have the martial arts school and doing the martial arts thing. And do you do martial arts? ⁓   Malcolm Keith (04:08) yeah.   Yeah, I've been doing   it since I I learned how to walk and talk on the mats. So I've been, yeah, whole life.   Jason Hull (04:26) Yeah, okay. So   right. I mean, don't let the glasses fool you. This guy could probably kick your butt. So, all right. So very cool. So Malcolm, and you've been doing this mastermind, you've got this event coming up. So tell people about like, why did you decide to start this and get this thing going?   Malcolm Keith (04:47) Yeah, so I've been going to these, like, there's been, we've been going to Russell's events for a while and I would sometimes meet a couple of the teens there. ⁓ There'd be occasionally a few teens, but we would never stay connected. And ⁓ as I was homeschooled, we were part of kind of a co-op. And so I still had like classmates that I would meet with every week and it was great.   But every time I'd come back home from these events, I'd come back to class and talk with my classmates there. And they just didn't understand it, this whole world of entrepreneurship and being a business owner and having a big vision and actually knowing that you can achieve it. so they didn't get exposed to that world ⁓ the same way that I did. And so ⁓ that felt a bit isolating. ⁓   Jason Hull (05:32) Yeah.   Yeah, yeah.   Malcolm Keith (05:44) It was at like, I think it was Unlock   the Secrets that I saw that, there are actually other teens that ⁓ are not only interested, but doing business already. But then I kept going to those events and we would never stay connected. ⁓ And so eventually it was ⁓ Unlock the Secrets in Paradise in 2024. And I realized, and I made the decision like, okay, this time is going to be different.   Jason Hull (06:01) Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (06:13) I'm going to make a Discord server and invite all the teams that I meet there. And we're just going to make a commitment to stay connected. Then we had, so I invited everybody there that I had met. We did our own little like in-person mastermind ⁓ during like one of the off sessions during the event, which is super fun. And then ⁓ one of us had the idea to start doing a call every week. So that's how that started happening. We could stay connected, keep each other updated on.   what we're all doing with our businesses. And that's how that started. Eventually the idea came along to, ⁓ we had this idea to try to get on the FHL 10 stage. And it's crazy idea, like, cause only the best of the best get on that stage. But.   Jason Hull (06:44) Yeah.   So   let's pause for a second. So I wanna explain to people listening. So he's mentioning Russell. We're talking about Russell Brunson. He's like the sort of the founder of ClickFunnels and brilliant entrepreneur, probably one of the greatest marketing minds ⁓ period of this generation. And ⁓ that's how we met you and your parents is we're in Russell Brunson's inner circle. ⁓   which is not an inexpensive thing to be part of. So getting access to that as a teenager is pretty amazing. So really awesome. And you were wanting to get on stage at Funnel Hacking Live, which was like this massive event. I think they have like sometimes 5,000, 6,000 people at these conferences, these events. And you're like, how can we maybe get on stage at this event as teenagers? So I love it. All right, so continue.   Malcolm Keith (07:53) Yeah, biggest marketing business event   like ever. So rock concert for entrepreneurs. ⁓ So we had this idea, what if we try to get on stage? It's probably not going to happen, but you might as well try. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. So, yeah, we put together a video made sure to include as many little like nods to all the stuff that Russell says to show that you actually listen to him. ⁓ And he really appreciated it. He said that   Jason Hull (07:59) Yeah.   Right, yeah.   Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (08:24) The lineup for the main stage was already chosen like a while before we had sent the video. But they were doing this new thing called round tables while actually bringing it back to this last event. So it was like 60 round tables each hosted by a high level entrepreneur. And they're like, maybe we can try to give you one of these round tables, which ended up being way better because we can actually talk directly to the other teens who came to that event, which there are a ton, which is   Jason Hull (08:30) I'm sure.   Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (08:53) So   cool to see. So we did that. And the team mastermind grew a lot after that event. was, I think, we were able to get our own separate room during that event. They were able to give one to us. And we had just our own in-person mastermind during FHL with 20 or more teens all in the room talking about our goals for the next 10 years.   Jason Hull (09:11) Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (09:23) and figuring out like what are the things that we're going to do today and this next week after we come back home that's actually going to bring us closer to those goals. So that was that was super fun.   Jason Hull (09:24) That's awesome.   Yeah.   Yeah, that's really cool. So ⁓ you're 19th over, right? What happens to this teen mastermind when you're not a teenager? Like that's within the next year.   Malcolm Keith (09:40) I am, yes.   Yeah, that's been something that I've been thinking about almost since the inception of it. Although at the beginning of it, I never knew it become this big and we'd be doing live events. Like I just created it because I wanted a friend group. ⁓ But they're like, this is super valuable. You got to monetize it. And so that took me a while to do that, ⁓ to kind of get over that block of like, I don't want to charge people who are my friends for something that I created.   Jason Hull (09:54) Sure, yeah.   Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (10:17) as a community, ⁓ but they were telling me like, it is super valuable and people value it more if you actually do charge money for it. Attention, yep, exactly. So I finally did that and that immediately started to grow the team mastermind. And then they were asking for live events. And so we're like, okay, yeah, we should do a live event just for our group. ⁓   Jason Hull (10:25) Yeah, like Russell says, when people pay, they pay attention.   Malcolm Keith (10:44) because there's   Jason Hull (10:44) Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (10:45) people, not just, a lot of them at the start were from Russell's Circles, going to Funnel Hacking Live together, but then there were teens from other places as well. And so we needed one kind of ⁓ our own place to all get together. So that's how the live event came about. ⁓ And I started with something else. I totally forgot. went off.   Jason Hull (11:05) Well, yeah,   it's ideas like what comes next? are you going to keep doing this? I mean, I imagine you could keep doing it, but you you're about to turn 20, so you're not a teen. But that's the main thing, can't run the team mastermind, but at some point you might be like, my friend group's getting a little young here, so.   Malcolm Keith (11:08) Yeah.   Yeah, so I got another year left.   Yeah, I mean, the thing is, the friends that are in there right now, ⁓ they're all growing up to. And so I think once all of those people quote unquote age out as well, I'll always have like my own inner circle of people that are similar to my age. We won't always all be teens, but we'll all be around the same distance apart. And so I think there'll be a mastermind afterwards, but   Jason Hull (11:39) Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (11:53) I'll always be part of the Teen Mastermind in some way, maybe not in the same role that I am right now. ⁓ I'm the person that's just a couple of steps ahead. ⁓   Jason Hull (12:06) Yeah. Well,   maybe you pick a teenager to kind of head it up or maybe they vote or something, but then you've got, you, give them the IP, you set up the frameworks, you help them know this, how to run the events. can ask you for guidance and you're always going to be a step ahead. know, so.   Malcolm Keith (12:23) Yeah, so that's, that was a really cool part of the mastermind was that it was created by a team and led by a team for teens. And so I always wanted to keep it that way. ⁓ and a couple of the teens in the group have kind of stepped up and become their own leaders in the group. and so I've been, ⁓ recruiting them a little bit here and there, and it's been really awesome so far. And so that's, ⁓   Jason Hull (12:34) Yeah.   Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (12:52) That's working out a lot.   Jason Hull (12:54) Right. Yeah. Now you're like Willy Wonka and you're just trying to find Charlie at the, who do I give the golden ticket to and teach them the ways and let them run this place. All right. So really cool. So what are some of the things that happen at the, at the event that you're gearing up?   Malcolm Keith (13:01) Yep.   Yeah, so   the idea first came, let's see, that's actually, okay, I'll save that. There's the grand finale part, which is my favorite and kind of the first idea that came about. ⁓ But so at the event, ⁓ I'm going to take pieces of previous events that I had been to the things that I really liked and implement them, but also look at the things that I, you know,   didn't like as much or things that I think could be improved and kind of take that into it. And so the whole event is built around community implementation and fun. At a lot of events, you know, if it's the event of like thousands of people, you can't really do this. But if it's an event of maybe a hundred or less, then you could very easily as the host, make sure that everybody knows each other. And so we start the event with   Jason Hull (13:52) Okay.   Yeah.   Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (14:10) having all the families introduce each other or introduce themselves so that everyone kind of knows like who it is that they're actually sitting next to because it's like to be at an event and have no clue who the person who the how cool the person in the chair to the right of you is. So that's how we start it. And then we love the walk and talks. Russell does that with Inner Circle. ⁓ Walk and talks are amazing. So we do that between every speaker and then. ⁓   Jason Hull (14:26) Right, yeah.   Okay.   Malcolm Keith (14:39) All of the, everybody sat at a round table and that's very specific because, ⁓ means that everybody is kind of grouped together and they get to talk, you know, across from each other instead of like talking all the way over to the table there, they're ⁓ sitting around and that automatically like subconsciously creates that sense of community. ⁓ so everything is built around that creating opportunities.   for people to have conversations. And then implementation, we want to make sure that the teens aren't just sitting there in a room having speakers just talk at them for hours. ⁓ We make sure that all those speakers have something like some kind of workshop and the teens are doing something active. And you learn more that way and you actually get stuff done during the event. And you can take that momentum with you back home.   Jason Hull (15:32) Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (15:36) and continue on from there. So many events give you a ton of ideas, but you're like, have no clue what to do when you get back home.   Jason Hull (15:45) Yeah, I got it. Some people call that experiential learning instead of just, you know, sitting there and listening the whole time and then eventually zoning out, making sure that I like the walk and talks. I like that there's this experiential learning where you're taking action, each of the speakers, it sounds like a challenge to do like get people to do something or implement something. So.   Malcolm Keith (16:07) Yeah, so we're super intentional about that. And then fun, of course. I think that's the most important because if I really do any of this, if it isn't fun along the way, entrepreneurship should be fun.   Jason Hull (16:21) Yeah, business owners, don't think of that a lot. Entrepreneurs are like, wait, like, let's make money. But yeah, but fun is nice, right? So how do you make it fun? Maybe you can teach the grownup here how to how to be more fun. So.   Malcolm Keith (16:31) So again, all the speakers are.   Yeah, the, mean, every speaker and all the workshops are meant to be fun. ⁓ and then we also have, excursion, like a special trip that we do for each day. So the first one is usually something kind of unique to the area for the one we did here in Oregon. ⁓ we went to wildlife safari, which I sometimes call it a zoo, but it's way more than that. It's, it is like an actual safari. we did like a bus tour and got to see a bunch of, ⁓ cool animals.   Jason Hull (17:01) Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (17:05) ⁓ in Arizona, we went to, ⁓ a like super car show, which is super fun. And then for this next event in Illinois, we'll be going like a ⁓ hiking trip and seeing some of the cool scenery there. So that's what we do for the first day, something kind of unique to the area that we go to. ⁓ on day two, we do jujitsu and so bringing my family's business routes there. ⁓ and there's.   Jason Hull (17:13) Nice.   Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (17:35) As my dad always says, jujitsu is a metaphor for pretty much everything. ⁓ It's constantly in the cars, what we talk about is how does jujitsu relate.   Jason Hull (17:40) Right.   Is this   Brazilian jujitsu or jujitsu or are you like throwing people like what are doing during the   Malcolm Keith (17:52) No, we usually teach like some basic self-defense stuff. So, wrist grab escapes, and then we do kind of more of what you would see if you actually watched a Jujutsu match, which is kind of like the grappling on the ground, ⁓ like a trap and roll. If someone's sitting on top of you, how to like get them over and escape. ⁓ So, some of the basic stuff like that.   Jason Hull (18:08) Mm-hmm.   Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (18:19) No throws and stuff. You need to learn how to fall first before you can throw. so yeah. Yeah.   Jason Hull (18:23) Sure, yeah, Breakfall, yeah, got   it. So like mount, guard. Okay, got it, okay. And these are with parents and kids?   Malcolm Keith (18:30) Mm-hmm. Yeah, that all that kind of stuff   Yes, so the whole event is supposed to be not just for teens, but for the whole family, because that's how our family does it. We always go together and we want to continue to be that example and start to like influence that mindset in other families to be a family together. so ⁓ and the jujitsu really helps with that. A lot of the like most successful students in ⁓ our dojo are families that all do it together. ⁓   Jason Hull (19:07) I see. Okay, got   it. So when you're doing the second day, and is it just two days?   Malcolm Keith (19:14) And then we have a final third day and we end the event with the Teenpreneur Ball. And that's an opportunity for all the teens, the whole family to ⁓ dress nice, dress fancy, which is very rare nowadays, especially for kids and teens. ⁓ And so I wanted to provide that opportunity to dress nice and fancy. We have a dinner and so that gives us an opportunity to learn about.   Jason Hull (19:16) Third day.   Malcolm Keith (19:43) like table etiquette, and then we do English dancing. So have you ever seen like pride and prejudice that movie? Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So big. Yeah. Big rows of, ⁓ of dance of, yeah, dancing. They all dance together.   Jason Hull (19:51) I think I know what you're talking about, where they're like all kind of doing their thing in circle and like turning.   like ancient   English line dancing or something. Okay. Okay. Yeah. All right. Cool. So a little teenpreneur ball.   Malcolm Keith (20:06) Yeah, I think it's called English country dancing, but yeah, I just call it English dancing. yeah. So and that's   yeah, so and that's our grand finale and the teens and the parents especially actually really love it.   Jason Hull (20:21) Yeah, okay. Yeah, you have an excuse to dress nice and dance with each other. all right. Yeah, I love it. That sounds, it sounds like fun. So, sounds really cool. So when is your, when's your next one?   Malcolm Keith (20:28) Yeah.   Our next one is April 30th to May 2nd in Marion, Illinois.   Jason Hull (20:39) April 30th   to May 2nd.   Sorry, what were you saying?   Malcolm Keith (20:45) It'll be in Marion, Illinois.   Jason Hull (20:50) Cool. How do you pick the locations?   Malcolm Keith (20:53) well, the first location that's where we live, we had a couple of members in Arizona and they were like really adamant about like, Scottsdale is amazing. So we went there and then a couple of our founding members who've been just so supportive since the beginning are in Illinois. So they're, they've been a huge help.   Jason Hull (20:56) Yep.   ⁓   got it. So you've got some boots on the ground in each area assisting you.   Malcolm Keith (21:16) yeah, yeah, it's, I'm   so grateful for, yeah, the patents. They are awesome.   Jason Hull (21:21) Yeah, very cool. Well, hey, Malcolm, really awesome. As adults, we love seeing this, ⁓ seeing the youth doing cool stuff like this. It's inspiring. And there's probably a lot of entrepreneurs listening to this. They're man, I wish my kid would just stop playing video games and be more like me and be more entrepreneurial. But sometimes kids are not entrepreneurial like their parents are. So.   they might feel like forcing them into this. So what would you say to some of those parents that might be trying to push their kid into being an entrepreneur and maybe the kids like, this isn't my thing.   Malcolm Keith (21:58) Yeah, I'd say my parents didn't necessarily push me. They just put me in the rooms where I learned that that was a path that was available to me. And I think that's the most important because the school system, I mean, it's a fact at this point. It is designed for the employee path. That's just a straight fact. Yeah, but and so there was no yeah, there's no teaching of the entrepreneurial way.   Jason Hull (22:09) Yeah.   Right. It makes good employees. Good factory worker.   Malcolm Keith (22:27) And so, and I totally agree that not everybody is built to be an entrepreneur, not everybody's built to be an employee either. And so having that option ⁓ just allows for your team to make a choice and to make an educated choice. And that's what, that's kind of what it's all about is giving them that opportunity and it's up to them whether or not they take it. ⁓ But there are so many lessons from entrepreneurship anyway that can apply to the ⁓   Jason Hull (22:31) Yeah.   Malcolm Keith (22:57) employee path anyway.   Jason Hull (22:59) Yeah, cool. Well, Malcolm, I really appreciate you being here on the DoorGrowth show. How can people find out about the Teen Mastermind, this event, and connect with you?   Malcolm Keith (23:11) Yeah, the best place ⁓ probably for the event would be teammastermylive.com.   Jason Hull (23:17) teenmastermindlive.com. Cool. So if you're a parent listening to this and you're like, man, I got a teenager and they might be interested in this and this sounds cool. Maybe this would be exciting for them. Then go check out teenmastermind. That's what it is, teenmastermind.com. Live. Okay, teenmastermindlive.com. Cool. Malcolm, thanks for coming here on the DoorGro show and hanging out with me for a bit. Keep going. Excited to see what you do next as you move into.   Malcolm Keith (23:33) Yeah.   Jason Hull (23:46) adulthood outside of being just a teenager, right? So very cool. All right.

What if the secret to scaling your business had nothing to do with paid ads - and everything to do with relationships? In this episode of ClickFunnels Radio, Chris and Dante sit down with Paul Counts and Shreya Banerjee, a business duo who've generated over $100 million in revenue for their clients using a strategy called OPA - Other People's Audiences. Paul started selling pencils at 8 years old and was running email campaigns on dial-up at 13. Shreya left a stable corporate career chasing time freedom. Together they built an agency around one core belief: serve first, scale second. They break down the OPA method from scratch, walk through a real $1M funnel they built with Russell Brunson, and share exactly how they find, vet, and build partnerships that actually last - without spending a dollar on ads. If you're an entrepreneur looking to grow smarter, not just bigger, this one is for you. 00:00 Intro Bumper 00:26 Meet Paul & Shreya + Background 07:16 Personal Branding That Actually Sticks 09:11 Paul's Entrepreneur Journey (Early Hustles → Online) 14:19 Shreya's Shift (Corporate → Time Freedom) 18:53 How They Met + Built Their Agency 21:32 Why Live Events Matter More Than You Think 24:58 Visionary vs Operator (How They Work Together) 27:59 Building Authority First (DECA + Playing the Long Game) 32:19 Long-Term ROI vs Short-Term Thinking 35:01 OPA Strategy (Other People's Audiences Explained) 42:24 Real Examples of OPA Working 50:20 How to Start OPA From Scratch (No Audience Needed) 56:47 Choosing the Right Partners (And Avoiding Bad Ones) 58:52 PLR Funnels + Funnel Breakdown 01:09:25 What PLR Is + Why It Works 01:13:52 Starting With Nothing (Scrappy Strategy) 01:20:30 Overcoming Fear + Taking Action 01:27:06 AI, SEO & Staying Human 01:29:17 Where to Find Paul & Shreya Get 3 months of ClickFunnels for only $99 at the link below, that's an 83% discount to get started! https://www.clickfunnels.com/cfradio

Arsenio Hall tenía un programa de televisión donde hasta el presidente de Estados Unidos iba a tocar el saxofón. Todo el mundo le devolvía las llamadas. Cuando perdió su show, nadie le contestó el teléfono. Ni uno. En este episodio de Libros para Emprendedores, basado en Traffic Secrets de Russell Brunson, vemos una estrategia que cambia por completo la dinámica de tu negocio: ✅ Por qué cuando tienes tu propio show, tu Dream 100 QUIERE hablar contigo  ✅ Qué cuenta como "show" (no necesitas ser famoso ni tener millones de seguidores)  ✅ Por qué funciona incluso con audiencias pequeñas  ✅ Cómo empezar esta misma semana con el mínimo viable Tu reto: elige un formato, contacta a 3 personas de tu Dream 30, y publica tu primer episodio. Imperfecto, corto, real. Pero que exista.

El 90% de los negocios que cierran no lo hacen porque su producto sea malo. Lo hacen porque nadie se enteró de que existían. Russell Brunson fundó ClickFunnels y la llevó a superar los cien mil clientes activos de pago sin un solo céntimo de inversores externos. Todo con tráfico. Todo con las estrategias que vas a aprender en este episodio. Traffic Secrets cierra la trilogía Secrets (después de DotCom Secrets y Expert Secrets) con el eslabón que faltaba: cómo hacer que las personas correctas encuentren tu negocio. En este episodio vas a descubrir: ✅ Por qué el tráfico no se crea (y dónde está escondido ahora mismo) ✅ El Dream 100: las cien personas que ya tienen a tus clientes ideales ✅ La estructura Gancho-Historia-Oferta que Brunson usa para cada pieza de contenido ✅ Las dos formas de conseguir tráfico: ganártelo o comprarlo ✅ Por qué tu lista de email es tu activo más valioso (y los números que lo demuestran) ✅ La temperatura del tráfico: por qué no puedes hablarle igual a un desconocido que a un fan ✅ Y qué hacer cuando los algoritmos cambien (porque van a cambiar) Si tienes un producto que funciona pero no llegan suficientes clientes, este episodio te va a cambiar la perspectiva por completo. Y si vienes de escuchar nuestro episodio de Obviously Awesome de April Dunford, hoy vas a descubrir el siguiente paso: cómo llenar de personas el posicionamiento que ya construiste.

你有沒有過這種感覺？ 明明已經很認真在做內容了 發文、拍影片、錄 podcast、分享自己的經驗，幾乎沒有停過 可是做了一段時間之後，大家對你的印象還是有點模糊 有人記得你分享過什麼，也覺得內容很實用 但如果真的要他說，你到底想帶大家去哪裡 很多時候又說不太出來！ 我後來慢慢發現，關鍵常常不在努力多不多，而是你有沒有把自己的專業整理成一個清楚的主張 也就是一個別人聽得懂、記得住，也願意一路跟著你走下去的方向。 這一集，我想來聊 Russell Brunson 的《專家機密》。 這本書最打動我的地方，是它讓我重新去看「內容」這件事 真正有影響力的分享，重點不只在資訊量，更在於你有沒有把自己的觀點、故事和方法講清楚，讓別人慢慢理解你、信任你，最後願意跟著你一起往前走。 所以做內容這件事，光靠持續更新還不夠 你還需要一個清楚的聲音，還有一條能帶著別人前進的路 如果你也曾經有過那種感覺：明明講了很多、做了很多，卻還是沒有被真正記住，那我覺得這一集應該會很適合你喔！

BIO: David Siegel is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has founded more than a dozen companies. He has written five books on technology and business, was once a candidate for the dean of Stanford Business School, and is now an AI thought leader leading an AI startup he hopes will pave the way for the agentic economy.STORY: Nine months after David's last appearance on the podcast, the conversation has shifted from "what are LLMs?" to agents that act. 60-65% of NYSE trades are already fully machine-to-machine—a preview of where all commerce is headed.LEARNING: You don't need to know exactly how AI works, but you need to get in the game. "The biggest investment mistake everyone is making right now is not appreciating the exponential nature of what we're in and what is coming. The next 12 months will be nothing like any 12 months that have ever happened in human history."David Siegel David Siegel is a Silicon Valley entrepreneur who has founded more than a dozen companies. He has written five books on technology and business, was once a candidate for the dean of Stanford Business School, and is now an AI thought leader leading an AI startup he hopes will pave the way for the agentic economy.David joins the podcast for the fourth time and discusses his latest progress in AI with Andrew.The health reset before we beginBefore diving into AI, David opened with an invitation that even Andrew found surprising: a free online water-fasting event starting on April 20, 2026, with a preliminary strategy session on April 12.What is a water fast? David explains that it's not a diet or a weight-loss tool; it's a physiological reset. For three to six days, your body enters ketosis and "cleans house," activating suppressed systems and energizing you. David does this three to four times per year, emphasizing it's not a monthly practice but a strategic reset aligned with your health journey.The coaching program makes fasting easier and more fun through group accountability, with no obligation, just information to help anyone at any point in their health journey. Learn about fasting, or just join a group of people doing the same thing at the same time. It's designed for people from the West Coast to Europe. Please register for the event and feel free to invite anyone: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/Tk-zp9ZERomWb0643Sypmw.The agentic economy: what's coming in 20 yearsDavid's core message centers on a profound shift: we're entering the agentic economy, where machine-to-machine communication replaces human-to-website interaction. He notes that in 20 years, you won't shop on Amazon. There won't be advertising or marketing for humans. All those "Cialdini mind tricks" of urgency, storytelling, and Russell Brunson funnels will vanish. Everything will be machine-to-machine, just like the stock market today, where 65% of NYSE trades open and close in less than one second.Even driving will be prohibited because human reaction times cannot match the frequency of machine communication. We're in an awkward transitional period where humans and machines must coexist. Nobody likes it, but it's taking us toward a future where drudge work is automated.What is an AI agent?David clarified a critical distinction that many miss: LLMs (Large Language Models) talk back, type responses, and generate images and videos—but don't do anything outside your interaction.AI Agent, on the other hand, is an LLM connected to APIs that can actually take action: send emails, order meals, book travel, make purchases, and run ads. Think of it as a virtual remote assistant working 24/7 while you sleep.OpenClaw: The framework powering the revolutionOpenClaw (CLAW = agents, inspired by lobsters from a forward-thinking fiction book) is an open-source framework created by Peter Steinberger on GitHub. It connects LLMs (the thinking entities) to APIs (the conduits for doing).This is revolutionary because it allows AI to take real-world actions. Previously, AI was confined to conversation. It can now execute tasks across systems. David strongly warns that OpenClaw is highly technical and requires API configuration. It's not designed for humans to use directly. It's for engineers building agent infrastructure.The security risks nobody is talking aboutDavid explains that agents introduce entirely new cybersecurity vulnerabilities that differ from traditional threats, such as social-engineering attacks against agents. For instance, impersonation via spoofed emails: "David wants a trip to Phoenix, book a flight," or multi-day, persistent attacks in which bots repeatedly try to extract secrets.David's approach with Claw Studio is to use APIs rather than scraping. Wherever possible, he attaches LLMs to official APIs with guardrails. This is safer and more sustainable than screen scraping, which violates Terms of Service and risks a shutdown.How to get started (without blowing yourself up)David's advice is clear: Don't do it yourself. That's suicide. With great power comes great responsibility. An agent can do almost anything, including deleting its own installation, wiping your disk clean, or draining your bank account. You want it to do almost nothing initially, then gradually widen the guardrails.The Redshift Labs/Claw Studio approach:Done-for-you setup like Red Hat for LinuxDedicated Chief of Staff agent with its own phone numberOnboarding period of 1-2 weeks, where you download your life into the agent:Birthday, family members' emails, and daily routinesIt can research you online to build context.Separate setups for personal and businessForever memory, unlike standard LLM context windows that forget:Every Zoom call transcript gets piped in word-for-word.Searchable memory: "Who was I talking to about Tahoe skiing in November?"Agent retrieves exact conversations and can follow up.Reverse prompting—the paradigm shift:Instead of you telling the agent what to do, it tells you.Morning briefing: what happened overnight, what's coming up, what's changedManages your calendar, project management, and prioritiesBreaks long-term goals into daily deliverablesYou're no longer the to-do list keeper.Security architecture:Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting, not local machinesTwo-account system: one for operations, one for immutable backupsAll logs are piped to a one-way backup account."Go back six hours" restore button, in case things go wrong.Humans in the loop for critical actions (e.g., agent queues payments, human approves)The biggest investment mistake everyone is makingTo conclude, David talked about the biggest investment mistake everyone is making right now: not appreciating the exponential nature of what we're in and what is coming. He noted that the next 12 months will be unlike any 12 months in business history. He stated that we're entering a recursive self-improvement phase, in which software will write the next generation of itself. The singularity isn't theoretical; it's happening now.David's advice is to stop thinking six months ahead. The pace is too fast. Instead:Take baby steps to position yourself.Prepare to accelerate like never beforeInvest in agent infrastructure now, while it "doesn't suck too bad", it will...

Angelica Govaert has gone broke and rebuilt herself twice. After the 2008 crash took everything, she drove to Las Vegas with her dog, played poker to survive, and won $6,000 at the Wynn to open a yoga studio in a converted garage. That garage became the largest yoga studio in Nevada - 50,000 clients, 150 teachers, multiple six figures. Then she sold it, bought a sailboat, and lost it all again. Broke and waiting tables at Bubba Gump Shrimp in her late 40s, she remembered a guy named Russell Brunson she'd seen at a conference. She built her first funnel from a dock. Year 1: $24K. Year 2: $79K. Year 3: $151K - all organic, zero paid ads. Today she's in the ClickFunnels Inner Circle and about to earn her Dream Car.

In an AI-driven world, SEO is evolving, but is traditional SEO still effective? Discover how Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is changing the digital landscape. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Damon Burton, Founder and President of SEO National, who discusses the future of SEO in an AI-dominated world. As AI tools like ChatGPT take over search queries, Damon explains how businesses can leverage these tools while staying true to the tried-and-true SEO strategies that have worked for decades. From the basics of SEO to advanced Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Damon offers expert insights into how businesses can thrive in this new digital era. Key Takeaways:→ AI is reshaping SEO, but it's still vital to focus on the same core elements. → Despite the rise of AI, foundational SEO, like website structure and content strategy, remains essential. → Google's dominance in search engines is still substantial, and businesses should not panic. → Understanding the intent behind search queries is vital for both traditional SEO and AI-powered platforms. → AI offers small businesses a unique opportunity to compete against larger players with the right SEO strategy and content. Damon Burton is the founder of SEO National, a search engine marketing agency he launched in 2007 after famously outranking a billion-dollar company on Google. Since then, he has built an international team that's helped clients like Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, NBA teams, and Inc. 5000 and Shark Tank–featured companies make more in a month than they used to in a year. A best-selling author, Damon literally wrote the book on SEO—Outrank, a practical guide that shows businesses how to dominate Google without paying for ads. Featured in Entrepreneur, Forbes, BuzzFeed, and USA Weekly, he's known for making complex SEO strategies easy to understand and implement. A husband and father of three, Damon also speaks on leading remote teams and building a family-first culture while scaling a high-performance digital business.

Most coaches aren't losing because they lack talent, they're losing because they don't know how to communicate in a way that makes people want to buy. This episode breaks down the real meta-skill behind six- and seven-figure coaching businesses: persuasive communication, or "magic messaging." In a world flooded with AI-generated noise, the speaker explains why saying the right words, in the right way, to the right people, is what creates consistent, pre-sold buyers.    "It's not about the strategies and tactics. It's about the belief first, because you have to believe what you need to believe in order to take the right actions to get the result."   Must-Know Insights: Persuasive communication, not talent, is what drives income: Coaches earn more when they know how to make people want to buy, not just when they're good at their craft. Belief-shifting converts; education alone does not Teaching informs, but changing how prospects think is what moves them to take action. Speak your client's inner language, not coach jargon: Conversions happen when your words mirror what your ideal client is already thinking and feeling. No funnel or ad can fix weak messaging: As echoed by Russell Brunson, traffic only amplifies what your message is already doing—good or bad. Persuasive communication is a transferable, income-multiplying skill: Once mastered, it works across content, sales calls, offers, and business models.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

To celebrate episode 800, Chris Cameron introduces ClickFunnels Radio's new co-host, Dante Torelli - a former realtor who clicked a Russell Brunson ad at 1:30am and never looked back. Dante shares how he took a pay cut to become a tech support agent at ClickFunnels because he believed in the mission, and how that bet on himself paid off. Chris and Dante dig into what holds most people back from launching their first funnel (hint: it's not knowledge), why the One Comma Club Award matters just as much as the Two Comma Club, and what the funnel builder certification opportunity means for people who don't have their own product yet. They also get into the role of AI in funnel building, a wild foot fungus course that absolutely crushed, and why "fire, ready, aim" is the mindset that separates serial learners from serial doers.

Hala Taha's mindset was pushed to its breaking point by relentless rejection, discrimination, and loss. After three years of unpaid sacrifice at Hot 97, being fired and blackballed, repeatedly passed over for promotion, and ultimately losing her father to COVID, she had every reason to quit.

I've had the privilege of working with some of the world's greatest marketing minds—Gary Vaynerchuk, Todd Brown, Russell Brunson—and let me tell you, the deeper I go, the more I realize how most orthodontists, myself included, haven't been taught how to market effectively.In this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I walk you through a powerful framework I've learned: marketing as a pyramid. At the bottom of that pyramid are people who don't even know they have a problem, and at the top are the ones ready to take action. But here's the catch—most of us are marketing to the wrong level of awareness, with the wrong message, in the wrong place. That's costing us real money.Quotes“When you put a $500 discount in front of people who don't even know their kid needs ortho, you're wasting money—and missing the mark.” — Dr. Glenn Krieger“Pair the message you're sending with the awareness they have of your office.

Richard McGirr shares why facts alone don't move investors and how a well-crafted personal story can radically improve your marketing and capital raising. He walks through Russell Brunson's Epiphany Bridge script, showing how it builds on the classic Hero's Journey to turn your backstory, “wall,” and breakthrough into a compelling narrative that breaks your audience's false beliefs. Using his own journey—from a collapsed software company and wiped-out income to discovering real estate and reworking a failed Property Llama webinar into a six-figure sales engine—Richard illustrates how story-based presentations can dramatically increase conversions. He closes by challenging listeners to define their own “why,” clarify the moment they realized their old plan wouldn't work, and use that narrative framework in every investor conversation, not just on webinars.

Richard McGirr kicks off a Capital Classroom solo session by translating big-name marketing frameworks from Russell Brunson and Alex Hormozi into practical strategies for capital raisers. He explains why LPs aren't really buying deals, but certainty of outcomes, and how stacking proof can 2–3x your conversions by de-risking the downside and building what he calls a “trust bank account.” Richard breaks down Hormozi's value equation and shows how debt funds, clear track records, and transparent reporting can dramatically increase the perceived likelihood of achievement for investors. He then walks through a concrete “proof sprint,” covering everything from monthly distribution tables and raw testimonials to live property tours, inspection reports, and third-party verification so your deal rooms and webinars become long-form proof engines instead of generic sales pitches.
