It's the time of year when folks are getting excited about the goals they want to hit next year. And while having goals is awesome… When you set a goal that feels really big, it can drain the energy out of you – the finish line seems so far away… a little too out of reach. But before you start setting your sights on lower, more "realistic" targets, here's something I've noticed… Most of the time… those big, far off, audacious goals aren't as distant as people think. And this clip from Dare t...

Every episode of Dare to Launch features a taco break – quick-fire questions to keep things fun. As you might have guessed, most of these questions revolve around Mexican food. But we also toss in the odd curveball or two. Here's why – fun, unexpected questions often get genius answers you'd never have gotten otherwise. This clip with Mike Michalowicz is a great example. One minute, we're having the "hard vs. soft shell" debate… (Actually, there is no debate – it's always soft shell. 😀) … ...

The difference between "they're never going to buy" and "heck yeah… this is a sale!" is night and day… That's what Chris said in this clip from Dare to Launch and he's right on the money – especially when it comes to getting that all-important first sale… A quick win flips a switch – it shuts down your inner critic and boosts your confidence – making a second, third, and fourth "yes" even more likely. By the time you get chance to overthink… you're already on a roll – and racking up sales. M...

Most people think you have to be the face of your business to really make it big. But Johannes Waldow has done the exact opposite… And he's not just built ONE big business… He's built SEVEN, 7-figure businesses – in seven different niches – all without stepping in front of the camera or being "the expert." And he did it before AI was even a thing. In this week's episode of Dare to Launch, Johannes breaks down how he thinks about building these businesses, including: The keys to building a b...

On the face of it, Mel Abraham was doing everything right… Business was great… He was flying all over the country… Money rolling in… But then his 5-year-old son handed him a drawing… … and Mel realized he was screwing up the one thing that actually mattered. As entrepreneurs, we're quick to measure our wealth in dollars. But money alone can't give you freedom. So in this episode, we sat down with Mel to talk about what actually does. We get into how you can create true freedom… so your l...

Abundance is one thing… but tapping into your authentic abundance is something else. Maybe you've felt the difference – you meet someone who seems to have it all… but something feels "off"? They don't feel aligned… or truly happy. It's like they're wearing a version of success that doesn't quite fit. This is the abundance trap no one warns you about. You can have a driveway full of Ferraris and a fat bank account. But if it doesn't feel good when the lights go off, that's not real abundance...

Strategies and tactics often get the spotlight. But if most successful entrepreneurs were honest about what really moved the needle for them, it probably wouldn't be a 5-step plan… … it would be a community. "You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with" has become a bit of a cliche. But you only have to spend five minutes in a "wrong" room to realize how true it is. In this clip from Dare to Launch, we're talking all things community with Michael Walker… including w...

Every Launch Masterclass (my big annual launch) Dan and I do a live Q&A. No scripts or fancy slides – just me and Dan riffing off each other, answering the questions that matter. And even though the 2025 Launch Masterclass has come and gone… I'm sharing some of the best questions – and answers – in this week's episode of Dare to Launch. So if you've ever thought… "I have an idea for an offer… but I don't have an audience or an email list. What should I do?" "I'm an introvert, what's the bes...

If you want to improve your writing skills, you might consider signing up for a copywriting course. But Will Hamilton went a different route… He took comedy classes on Zoom… from a guy who used to write for Jay Leno. And in this clip from Dare to Launch, Will explains why it's the best thing he's ever done for his copywriting. It's not about writing jokes or being funny though… If you've ever seen a comedian live, you'll know they're masters at creating and building tension, holding it, and ...

Some napkins and a Sharpie – that’s how Stacie Bloomfield started her now 7-figure business. From being a full time manager at Starbucks to building a wildly successful creative business, Stacie’s journey is a masterclass in turning your passion into sustainable income. In this week’s episode of Dare to Launch, Stacie shares her story, showing how she went from a doodle on a napkin to building a 7-figure business.

I added a simple 3-minute routine to my mornings that’s been a total game-changer. Those 180 seconds give me a clearer mind, less stress, and way more focus. Nick Ortner is the guy who introduced me to this routine… … and in this episode of Dare to Launch, Nick explains what it is and how it works, so you can try it yourself. One thing I’ve noticed is that this routine is really helpful when life gets stressful or hectic and I’m struggling to come up with creative ideas. It’s like a secret ...

Long hours, late nights, nonstop launches… You’re told that that’s what it takes to build a business – but it’s also a sure path to burnout. And that’s exactly what happened to Chris Ducker… Chris is a serial entrepreneur. He’s built three 7-figure companies. And a few years ago, he burned out. And on this week’s Dare to Launch, he shares what he learned about burnout, and how to be successful in a sustainable way. Specifically, Chris shares how to manage your energy for long-term success, ...

One of the worst decisions I made early on in my business? Following this advice from a well-respected marketing guru: “Don’t hire anyone. Employees will make your life hell.” I trusted this person, so listening to them felt like the smart play. And while it did keep things simple in some respects, it also kept my business small – and way more stressful than it needed to be. When I eventually figured out that this was terrible advice (which took way longer than I’d like to admit), my busine...

Things are way less predictable than they were 5 or 10 years ago. And what peop...

What if I told you that – in just a few seconds – you could create a piece of content that could generate millions of impressions and thousands of comments from your target audience? Pretty cool, right? But wait, it gets even better… Because this content can also give you valuable insights you can use to make your marketing more powerful and your future offers more attractive. In this episode of Dare to Launch, Rachel Miller shares how one simple post generated 13.8M impressions and 42,000 co...

This is probably one of the most actionable episodes ever of Dare to Launch. Because Bari Baumgardner walks you through a 10,000-foot strategy for creating a high-ticket funnel that takes your ideal customers from: “Wait, you can do that?” to “I could do that…” to “I have to do that!” What’s great about Bari’s approach is that you don’t need to create a new course or program… Instead, this is about depth – giving your audience an opportunity to go deeper with you, so they actually master wha...

If you think you’re selling knowledge, think again… Knowledge is everywhere. And it’s free. Podcasts, YouTube, blogs… answers are just one Google search or ChatGPT conversation away. So what are we really selling? Our framework. Our approach. Our way of doing things. And while that might sound simple, it’s not easy… Because that’s where fear often kicks in. When someone says “no thanks” to your offer, it’s not just a simple “no”… … they’re saying “no” to your personal approach… your ideas…...
