  • JV Networks (Dov Gordon)

    Special "Business Revenue Leak Checklist" offer free at http://www.mrse.co/leak.


    Dov Gordon is the founder of the Joint Venture Mastermind (JVMM), where consultants and entrepreneurs meet potential JV partners and contribute to each other’s business growth in other ways.  


    Hosts Linda Claire Puig and Ari Iny explore with Dov the powerful audience-building strategy of JV communities—whether you join one or create your own. 


    In this episode, we discuss:


    • How to turn your network of JV partners into a thriving community—creating tons of value for everyone involved—and leading to sustainable, long-term growth of your audience
    • The 2 traits you must look for when adding members to your JV community (this skyrockets the value of the group for everyone)
    • How to set the right membership price (and when a higher price is not necessarily the answer)
    • And much more!


    “The core promise is that we're all marketing and selling to the same types of audiences.” – Dov Gordon


    Dov Gordon is lucky: he gets paid to do what he anyway did for free. For almost a decade, he ran the JVMM, an exceptional mastermind for high-caliber consultants and entrepreneurs—for free. But as it grew, it became a force of its own. The JVMM went to a paid membership model, and didn’t slow down a bit. Finally in early 2022, Dov shut down his own boutique coaching business and made the JVMM his primary focus.

  • Pay What You Can (Tad Hargrave)

    Special "Business Revenue Leak Checklist" offer free at http://www.mrse.co/leak.


    Tad Hargrave is a self-described hippie with a knack for marketing. He helps other hippies get more clients in ways that feel good to all involved, and he calls his decision to do pay-what-you-can the best thing he ever did for his business. 


    Hosts Linda Claire Puig and Ari Iny talk with Tad about what can sound like a radical thing to do: allowing people to decide what they will pay you for your work. Tad shares real-world examples from his own business of what works well with this strategy...and what to avoid.

    • Tad’s story of a workshop “gone wrong”—and the surprising offer strategy that emerged, earning him thousands in unexpected revenue without any selling at all
    • Why you do NOT have to choose between marketing that works and marketing that feels good
    • How to tweak and test your offer so that people actually want to pay more for it
    • The most common misunderstanding and misapplication of pay-what-you-can (so you don’t dig yourself a financial grave).  
    • And much more!


    “Because they feel respected and not pushed, this natural generosity comes out and people just want to give and want to contribute.”   —Tad Hargrave



    Tad Hargrave is a hippie who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned to be a hippie again). He is a practitioner and proponent of “ethical marketing for uncertain

    times” and helps hippies get more clients in ways that feel good to all involved.
