What if you could stop chasing one-time sales and build a business that pays you again and again—predictably, reliably, and without the hustle? That’s exactly what today’s guest, Stu McLaren, has helped thousands of entrepreneurs achieve.

As the co-founder of Membership.io and creator of The Membership Experience™, Stu is one of the world’s leading membership experts. He’s spent the last 16+ years helping entrepreneurs turn what they know and love into thriving membership businesses that generate recurring revenue and real freedom. And now he’s packed everything he’s learned into a new book called Predictable Profits.

In our conversation, Stu breaks down what actually works when it comes to memberships—what keeps people around, what makes them leave, and how to build something that lasts. No fluff, no hype—just real strategies that actually move the needle.

In this episode, you’ll learn: 

1.) Why the membership model is the ultimate path to predictable profits—and how it can boost your business valuation, create lifestyle freedom, and unlock compounding revenue over time.

2.) The success path framework that will give your members clarity and direction—so they avoid overwhelm, stay engaged longer, and actually get results.

3.) How to 3x the lifetime value of your members by optimizing their first 30 days with one simple onboarding strategy.
