Authentic relationships are your secret weapon in today's AI-saturated marketplace, and this episode shows you exactly how to leverage them for predictable growth. I brought on Mischa Zvegintzov, host of a top 1.5% podcast globally, to discuss how podcast guest speaking creates real buyer-ready leads while everyone else is getting lost in artificial content that nobody wants to consume.

Mischa Zvegintzov brings serious expertise as the founder of Influence Army Academy and host of a top 1.5% podcast globally. With his unique background spanning from Russian-German heritage to Wyoming upbringing, Mischa has developed a systematic approach to helping heart-centered entrepreneurs leverage podcast guest speaking to grow their authority, impact, and income through what he calls "Influence Tours."

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Authenticity is becoming a competitive advantage as people actively reject AI-generated content and avatars in favor of real human connections.
• Podcast guest speaking serves as a "teleportation device" for building know, like, and trust faster than traditional marketing methods.
• The average podcast listener has a higher education level and annual income of $100,000-$125,000, making it an ideal audience for premium services.
• One long-form podcast interview can be repurposed into multiple content pieces including videos, blog posts, newsletters, and social media clips.
• It takes approximately seven hours of content consumption before someone becomes a buyer, and podcasts accelerate this timeline significantly.
• AI disrupts the buyer's journey by making authentic human stories and connections more valuable than ever before.
• Successful scaling requires focusing on one "front door" offer rather than overwhelming prospects with multiple services from the start.
• The key to product development is following the customer journey and solving the next logical problem they encounter after your initial solution.

Transformational partnerships represent one of the most powerful momentum-building strategies available to entrepreneurs today, yet 95% of business owners are stuck in the old "send me leads" mentality that delivers zero long-term value. In this episode, I dive deep into the strategy that separates seven-figure businesses from eight and nine-figure powerhouses - the art of creating value-driven partnerships that solve real problems for everyone involved. This isn't about simple affiliate relationships or transactional lead swaps; it's about building strategic alliances that create predictable growth momentum and leave your competitors trailing in your wake.

My co-founder and head of partnerships, Zach Burkes, joins me to break down exactly how we've structured our partnership program at Predictable Profits. Zach is a serial entrepreneur who started his first company at 23 and co-founded a multi-million dollar business before joining our team. As a former curator of Sacramento Entrepreneurs and member of both Global Shapers and the invite-only Young Entrepreneur Council, Zach brings serious strategic thinking to partnership development. His insights on business growth have been featured in Fox Business, Inc., SUCCESS, and the Chicago Tribune, making him the perfect person to reveal the partnership strategies that actually move the needle.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Most partnerships fail because they're purely transactional "send me leads" relationships with no real value exchange or long-term strategy.
• Transformational partnerships focus on solving meaningful problems for your partner rather than just asking what's in it for you.
• Start your partner search by examining who your current clients already work with in complementary ways.
• Look through your own credit card expenses to identify vendors you already trust and spend money with regularly.
• The best partnerships create triple-win scenarios that benefit you, your partner, and the end customer simultaneously.
• Quality partnerships can improve client retention rates by solving different problems than what you currently address.
• One strong partner can deliver consistent, predictable deal flow day after day, week after week, month after month.
• Strategic partnerships provide momentum that acts as a protective layer against AI disruption in the buyer's journey.

In this episode of the Beyond Seven Figures podcast, my co-founder Stephanie Vaughan and I dive deep into the insights from our very first breakthrough summit - and let me tell you, the results were extraordinary. We brought 15 seven and eight-figure CEOs into a room for a couple of days, and every single member gave it a perfect 10 out of 10 score, with the most common feedback being that it was the most transformative CEO event they'd ever attended in their entire lives. Stephanie took them through a powerful four-part leadership assessment covering identity and fear, boundaries and burnout, beliefs and blind spots, and vision and power - proving once again that you can't scale a business without scaling yourself first.

My co-founder Stephanie Vaughan is our head of coaching at Predictable Profits, and she has this incredible ability to get high-revenue entrepreneurs to look in the mirror and identify the internal barriers that are keeping them stuck in the founder's trap. What makes her approach so effective is that she doesn't let leaders get away with looking outward for their business problems - she forces them to examine their own patterns, behaviors, and fears that are directly impacting their company's growth. The transformation we witnessed at our summit was visible on their faces, and people are still buzzing with aha moments days later.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• You cannot scale a business without scaling yourself first - personal development must precede business development for sustainable growth.
• Fear-based leadership creates artificial ceilings in business growth, while vision-based leadership opens up new possibilities for expansion.
• Most entrepreneurs look outward for business problems when the real bottleneck is often their own leadership patterns and behaviors.
• Operating from emotion rather than strategy leads to poor decision-making that limits business potential and creates reactive rather than proactive leadership.
• Your morning routine and personal state directly impact your business performance - starting with gratitude and intention sets the foundation for strategic thinking.
• Company culture should be defined by specific behavioral expectations rather than flowery language, with clear values that guide daily decisions.
• Hire people based on cultural alignment and fire based on cultural misalignment to maintain organizational integrity and performance.
• Regular self-reflection through quarterly assessments helps identify which personal habits contribute to or detract from business outcomes.

Marketing attribution is broken in most businesses—and it's costing you thousands in wasted ad spend. In this episode, Charles Gaudet sits down with attribution expert Scott Desgrosseilliers to expose why Google Analytics and platform-reported metrics are lying to you about what's actually driving sales. Discover why the traditional marketing funnel is outdated, how buyers now research across 36+ sources before purchasing, and why your "failed" campaigns might actually be your biggest winners. Scott reveals the critical difference between tracking last-click conversions versus the full customer journey, and shares his "Scale, Chill, or Kill" framework that distills complex marketing data into actionable one-word decisions.

Scott Desgrosseilliers is the CEO and founder of Wicked Reports, a first-party data attribution platform he's been pioneering since 2014—before attribution was even a buzzword. After proving his friend wrong about Facebook ads working for lobster sales (resulting in millions in revenue), Scott has dedicated his career to giving businesses accurate attribution, optimized ad spending, and true customer journey understanding. When he's not revolutionizing how companies track their marketing ROI, he's an avid meditator who applies spiritual and energetic solutions to real-world business problems, and enjoys peloton, ice hockey, and bridge with his family.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Most marketing campaigns fail not because the entire funnel is broken, but because one or two pieces need adjustment while 85% actually works perfectly.
• Google and Meta's 28-day attribution windows miss the majority of conversions, while the average buyer researches for 62+ days before purchasing expensive products.
• Platform-reported ROAS is misleading because Google and Meta both claim credit for the same conversions, making it impossible to know which channels truly drive results.
• The top of funnel (cold traffic awareness) requires at least 50% of your budget and is the hardest to track, but it's what actually drives new customer growth.
• Consumption drives conversion—videos and content with high engagement rates contribute to sales even when they don't directly convert, so don't kill campaigns based on immediate conversion data alone.
• The traditional marketing funnel from the 1800s is obsolete; modern buyers now research across 36+ different sources before making purchase decisions.
• Wait at least double your average conversion cycle before making budget decisions on campaigns—rushing to judge performance leads to killing winners too early.
• Successful iteration requires 13+ tweaks on average, even for expert marketers converting half a billion dollars in sales, so persistence beats perfection every time.

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.

Look, I've been in this business long enough to recognize when something fundamental shifts, and the conversation economy we're experiencing right now is exactly that - a complete transformation of how we approach outbound marketing. Gone are the days of those old pitch-heavy tactics that used to work so well. In this episode, I sit down with my incredible teammate Jerson Mellizo to dive deep into why the traditional sales playbook has completely fallen apart and how authentic conversations have become the absolute key to outbound success. We get into the nitty-gritty of how buyer behavior has completely evolved - these prospects today are doing their homework like never before, and if you're still trying to pitch them in the first conversation, you're going to get shut down every single time.

I've got to tell you, Jerson has been absolutely instrumental in transforming our outbound department over these past five years, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. When we started working together, our outbound was in its infancy, and now it's become one of our top-producing lead generation channels - and that's largely because of his dedication and innovative thinking. This guy manages our entire outbound operation from the Philippines, and he's created these incredible profitable experiences for our business coaching clients who come to us wanting to grow faster, generate more predictable revenue, and finally get their businesses less dependent on them as founders. His track record speaks for itself - 72% email open rates, helping businesses generate $10K monthly through organic processes, and personally producing PHP 16,000,000 in gross sales. But here's what really gets me: at our recent workshop, 95% of the attendees were literally clapping for Jerson because of the relationship he'd built with them. That's the power of his conversation-first approach, and it's something every business owner needs to understand.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• The traditional outbound playbook of rapport-building, goal identification, challenge discovery, and immediate pitching has stopped working because everyone recognizes the pattern.
• Modern buyers are significantly more discerning than five years ago, conducting extensive research and consuming hours of content before making purchasing decisions.
• The new outbound strategy focuses on starting authentic conversations rather than pushing immediate sales agendas with complete strangers.
• Successful outbound marketing now optimizes for content consumption rather than direct conversions, allowing prospects to build trust naturally.
• The progression from conversation to consumption to conversion can take up to 365 days, requiring patience and consistent value delivery.
• Every conversation should move prospects toward consuming more content, whether through reports, workshops, videos, or educational materials.
• Caring is a competitive advantage, and authentic conversations that prioritize serving others naturally lead to business opportunities.
• Outbound is a broad category with multiple strategies, so if one approach isn't working, it's the strategy that needs changing, not the entire outbound concept.

Build business credit fast and unlock funding opportunities most entrepreneurs never discover—that's exactly what you'll learn in this game-changing episode with Ty Crandall, who runs the world's largest business credit coaching operation. Charles Gaudet and Ty dive deep into the critical mistakes business owners make when funding their companies, revealing why the worst time to seek money is when you actually need it. Ty shares his proven "3 C's Formula" (Cashflow, Credit, Collateral) that has helped thousands of businesses access over $30 million in funding monthly, and you'll discover how to separate your personal finances from business liability, build a fundable business credit profile from scratch, and tap into funding options ranging from $160K in 0% interest credit cards to 4% EIDL loans with 30-year terms.

Ty Crandall is a military veteran, world-renowned business credit and financing expert, and successful entrepreneur who has transformed personal tragedy into a mission of service. As the author of two best-selling books on consumer and commercial credit, Ty is also a high-level business coach who helps entrepreneurs scale to 8-figures and beyond, and an international speaking sensation. After losing everything during the 2008 financial crisis—including his mortgage company, personal assets, and even resorting to passing bad checks to keep electricity on for his pregnant wife—Ty rebuilt from ground zero with a fundamental shift in purpose. His painful experience drives his commitment to educating business owners on building fundable companies while protecting their personal assets, making Credit Suite the go-to resource for entrepreneurs seeking capital access at favorable terms without personal guarantees.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• The worst time to ask for money is when you actually need it—entrepreneurs should prepare and secure revolving credit lines before cash flow problems arise.
• Business owners should double their estimated startup costs and timelines, as ventures typically take twice as long and cost twice as much as anticipated.
• Building business credit is separate from personal credit and should begin the moment you start your business to avoid personal liability and guarantee requirements.
• The "3 C's Formula" determines funding eligibility: Cashflow, Credit, and Collateral—if you have all three, you qualify for SBA loans; if you have one strength, focus on lenders specializing in that category.
• Unlike personal credit, business credit scores (like Paydex) are based solely on payment history, inquiries don't hurt your score, and 90% of vendors don't report unless you're intentional about it.
• Entrepreneurs should stock up on revolving credit whenever available and when terms are favorable, even if they don't need it immediately, to prepare for economic downturns or unexpected opportunities.
• Alternative funding options beyond traditional banks include merchant cash advances, credit card stacking ($160K at 0% for 18 months), asset-based lending (stocks, 401Ks, cryptocurrency), and EIDL disaster loans at 4% for 30 years.
• Using brokers instead of going directly to lenders provides access to more funding options, better negotiating power, and often costs nothing extra since lenders pay referral fees to brokers.

Things about client retention that most entrepreneurs get wrong: they're flying blind until it's too late. In this game-changing episode, I sit down with our Director of Community, Walker Renfrow, to pull back the curtain on the client retention strategies we've developed through real-world testing, data analysis, and relentless innovation. We're not talking about the same tired advice you'll find everywhere else—this is about moving from reactive churn management to predictive retention analytics that tell you there's a problem before your clients even know they're unhappy. If you're selling into a leaky bucket and wondering why your MRR isn't growing the way it should, this conversation is going to change everything. Walker Renfrow is one of those rare talents who wears many hats and excels at all of them. As our Director of Community at Predictable Profits, Walker has become a catalyst for growth—constantly innovating, solving problems in unique ways, and creating client experiences that don't just retain customers, they turn them into raving fans. With his background in entrepreneurship and experience across manufacturing, construction, and business coaching, Walker brings a creative, data-driven approach to retention that you won't find in any textbook. He's an artist in both his personal life as a singer and in his professional world, looking at challenges from angles most people never consider.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Selling into a leaky bucket caps your MRR—retention is just as critical as sales for growth.
• NPS surveys alone won't cut it—low response rates and shallow data won't move the retention needle.
• Your team can't give accurate client health assessments—their incentives are misaligned to paint rosy pictures.
• Quarterly interviews by a third party (not the account manager) get you the honest feedback that drives real change.
• Relationships + Results = Retention—most businesses focus only on results and ignore relationships entirely.
• Use red/yellow/green client scoring: 75% green, 20% yellow, 5% red—zero red means you're lying to yourself.
• Track behavioral metrics (attendance, implementation, engagement) to predict churn before it happens—not after.
• Community is your AI-age defensibility—authentic human connections become irreplaceable as everything else gets commoditized.

What if I told you that "super-agents" could solve your biggest business problems in 20 minutes while you sleep? Look, the AI revolution isn't coming - it's already here, and it's moving faster than most people can even comprehend. In this episode, we dive deep into the reality that everything you've ever imagined AI could do is not only possible right now, but the only limitation is your imagination and willingness to embrace these tools. We're talking about creating functional software prototypes in 20 minutes, generating professional presentations for NASA in hours instead of weeks, and literally having 10 AI "super-agents" work on your problems simultaneously. This isn't about replacing human creativity - it's about amplifying it to levels that would have been science fiction just months ago.

Mike Koenigs is the Founder of The Superpower Accelerator and has transformed over 61,000 clients into "Category of One" brands that dominate their markets. This guy just got back from speaking at NASA - not about theory, but actually demonstrating solutions to their 174 biggest documented problems using AI tools most people have never heard of. He's also spoken at the United Nations, leveraging over 30 years of strategic insight to help experts become influential brand leaders. What sets Mike apart isn't just his track record of creating transformational business celebrities - it's his ability to see possibilities where others see obstacles and turn AI into a profit-multiplying superpower without diluting your essence.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• AI capabilities are advancing daily - the gap between what was possible six weeks ago versus today shows exponential acceleration.
• "Super-agents" let you run 10 AI specialists simultaneously on the same problem instead of waiting for one solution.
• You can create functional software prototypes in 20 minutes without any coding experience or technical background.
• Master the AI mindset, not specific tools - tools change constantly but strategic thinking principles remain valuable.
• AI amplifies existing traits - lazy people get lazier while curious people become exponentially more effective.
• Future advantage belongs to those asking better questions, not those memorizing more answers.
• Use AI to amplify your thinking, not replace it - letting AI think for you leads to declining performance.
• Companies must create AI-friendly cultures now or risk losing top talent to competitors who embrace these capabilities.

If you're still trying to grow your business with traditional funnels and wondering why your capture, create, convert demand strategy isn't working, you're about to discover why those old-school tactics are completely dead. In this episode, I sit down with one of the very few people who actually gets it - Megan Bowen - and we dive deep into the evolution of buyer behavior from the analog buying era all the way through to where we are now in the AI era. We explore why 96% of the buying process now happens before prospects ever talk to your sales team, and Megan breaks down her game-changing framework that's helping B2B companies completely rethink how they approach demand generation. Trust me, you're going to want to have a pen and paper handy for this one because we're going beyond the surface-level funnel nonsense that everyone else is teaching.

My guest today is Megan Bowen, CEO of Refine Labs, and she's someone I have tremendous respect for because she actually eats her own pudding. With over 20 years of experience building and scaling go-to-market teams across B2B industries - including companies that achieved IPOs and acquisitions - Megan co-founded Refine Labs in 2020 with a mission to completely change how B2B companies approach their go-to-market strategies. What I love about Megan is that her leadership philosophy isn't some theoretical framework from a business book - it's rooted in real-world experience as an individual contributor, people manager, and executive leader. She understands that without customers, you don't have a business, and she's laser-focused on creating the conditions for long-term relationships and meaningful results.Retry

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Volume-based funnel marketing fails because high-intent leads convert at 25% while low-intent leads convert at less than 1%
• Use "split the funnel analysis" to show the dramatic difference between lead quality and stop wasting budget on low-intent leads
• By 2030, nearly 100% of buying decisions happen before sales calls, making self-service information critical
• Put pricing, social proof, and competitive advantages directly on your website to eliminate buyer friction
• Brand marketing gets you into buyers' "day one consideration set" before they start searching for solutions
• Dark social is the invisible 6-12 month buying cycle where prospects research before visiting your website
• Create content that actually solves buyer problems rather than just promoting your services
• Talk to your customers regularly to understand their evolving needs and grow beyond seven figures

Add Value First Money Follows - that's the simple rule most business owners have backwards. They think about what they can get instead of what they can give, and that's why they stay stuck. In this episode, I brought on Ramon Ray because his energy is amazing, but more importantly, he figured out something most people miss: you make money based on how much you help others. We talk about the real meaning behind Darwin's "survival of the fittest" - spoiler alert, it's not what you think - and why hanging around more successful people creates steady growth. Ramon and I break down how to create your own chances instead of waiting to be invited, and why building systems that grow beats working harder every single time.

Ramon Ray is exactly the kind of business owner I love talking with - he doesn't wait for permission, he makes his own luck. This guy has built and sold many companies, recently got a job as Bitdefender's small business rep, and here's how he did it: he walked right up to them after speaking at their event and basically made his own job. That's the kind of thinking that separates million-dollar business owners from everyone else. Ramon wrote "Celebrity CEO" and has been on major TV shows, but what I respect most is how he treats relationships - it's never just about business, always about helping first. And now that he's a grandfather to little Ezra, you can bet he's thinking about what he's building and the lessons he'll teach about creating steady success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• How to build revenue-generating relationships by starting every interaction asking what's happening in their personal life and how you can add value instead of leading with your pitch.
• What to do when opportunities don't come to you by creating your own table and walking up to decision-makers to pitch roles that don't exist yet like Ramon did with Bitdefender.
• How to accelerate your business growth by surrounding yourself with people operating at higher temperatures who naturally pull you up instead of those who drag you down to their comfort level.
• What separates seven-figure businesses from the rest by building scalable systems and hiring people to expand the business with you so you're not trapped in daily operations.
• When to take action on opportunities by getting comfortable being uncomfortable and moving immediately without perfect strategy because breakthrough moments require instant response.
• What to focus on instead of just services by delivering measurable outcomes and business impact since AI is commoditizing results but can't automate true transformation.
• How authentic networking creates predictable revenue by approaching relationships with genuine intent to help first so opportunities emerge naturally without forced transactions.
• When business gets tough and you want to quit by showing up and executing anyway because someone loses if you don't win and consistency during lows separates successful entrepreneurs.

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.
