Hustle & Flowchart: Mastering Business & Enjoying the Journey

Chris Benetti is one of the very first fanboys of the show and has implemented some of our training in a massive way. Today we are going to talk about memberships, some creative ways to increase retention on memberships, why everyone should have a membership. One of the main reasons we are discussing this topic is that we have recently partnered up with Chris on his platform, Members Pro, so in addition to chatting about all the awesome ways to leverage a membership, we also discuss all the cool stuff that Chris is working on with the platform software that he is developing.

You are going to love hearing about all the awesome features that are planned and why you should definitely consider using a membership platform to better serve your audience. When you’re done, check out our conversations with Joy Houston and Todd Brown for even more insight on how to make your product appeal to customers and give them the best possible experience along their customer journey.

“One of the best things that you can do is connect yourself or align yourself with people who are at higher levels because it's easier to borrow authority than create authority.” - Chris Benetti

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

Some outside of the box ways to use membership platforms
Why Members Pro is on track to be the best in its class with 12 months, hands down
A better way to deliver bonuses to your customers
How to get your content migrated over, easy-peasy
How Chris got his start and basically fulfilled a need in the marketing space
Why Members Pro is set to be the Netflix of marketing membership platforms
How to gamify your customer’s journey to make it more fun and engaging
The beauty of a vault-style platform for podcasters, YouTubers, and others

Ryan Moran - Twelve Months To Seven-Figures

Through his training and podcast at Capitalism.com, Ryan Moran is responsible for creating more than 100 millionaires, many in 12 months or less! He is passionate about sharing the knowledge he has gained from founding, running, and investing in a number of e-commerce, and physical products businesses. On today’s show we talk about how he’s been able to be super successful in growing revenue for brands, his thoughts on how to properly build a platform to serve your audience without creating a ton of content, and his new three-step product that will get you going in the morning, get rid of afternoon brain fog, then give you the best night’s sleep ever.

Other fun things we chat about are Ryan’s book, cool documentaries that made an impact, bands to follow, how Ryan was a huge influence in our own business as well as our similar goal over the years to own a major league baseball team. If you love the idea of building a platform or are in the midst of doing so, be sure to listen to our shows with Greg Rollett as well as the show where we dive into our own methods of how we’ve built our audience and platform around our own podcast.

“The other thing was getting out of the mentality that you have to grind for money and allowing where you make your money to come from a place of excitement, creativity, and creation for the first time.” - Ryan Moran

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

How is our amazing note-taker Sue writing notes when her name comes up during the podcast? (insert Twilight Zone theme song here)
Updating the ‘Money Can’t Buy You Happiness’ paradigm
Selling stuff vs. hope & dreams
Do we really want you to follow spiders?
Predictions for this year’s World Series and sporting events of the future
How to lose 20 pounds even faster than you think
The fine line between working towards a goal because of lack and from a sense of excitement
The power of the platform to get your voice heard (and not by voicing your opinion all the time)
And much, much more!

Episode 300 - Part 1: The People Who Got Us Where We Are Today

Cue the trumpets and roll out the red carpet! Today we are bringing you a major milestone with our 300th episode! It’s a two-part show, with the first part reflecting back on how we got to where we are today. It’s a way for us to give gratitude to those that have helped us over the years. For the second part of the show, we emailed our list and asked our Facebook group if there were any questions they wanted answered. We are overwhelmed by the sheer response, and our goal is to answer as many questions as possible. So grab some popcorn and listen in as we stroll down memory lane, talk about our highlights and fears, and all the amazing people we have met on our path so far.

When you are done, be sure to check out some of the shows we mentioned, with Aaron Fletcher and Roland Frasier.

“He broke this fear in me of spending ad money and putting money in to get money back. I thought the way to do it was to create content, offer the content for sale but the way to get people over to where you are selling is to put out more content that shows how good you are. He showed me: sales letter, run ads to it, let’s see what happens.” - Matt Wolfe

“This is not a normal way of thinking for ‘marketers’, but once you start thinking at a higher level...the world opens up to you.” - Joe Fier

Some Topics We Discussed Include:

All about our various bro-ships
Shout outs to so many amazing people, well known in the online space
Recalling our early days working together at the shutter factor while we checked out this thing called “The Warrior Forum” on breaks
A call out to bring back Think Tank!

Reminiscing about the $2K launches back in the Frank Kern days
