ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE

I've got more in common with Star-Lord (the character from the "Guardians of the Galaxy" movies) than I should probably admit…

OK, so I don't have a laser blaster… or a spaceship (yet!).

But like him, I definitely didn't look like the guy to bet on at the start…

I was a stay-at-home dad with a failed corporate career who hadn't made a dime in six years. So if you were looking for someone who would go on to save the galaxy make over $100MM in sales… you probably wouldn't have picked me.

Same goes for my good friend Elliott Connie…

Elliott started out with a front row seat to a rough life. He was about as far away from a happy, contented, confident life as you can imagine…

But now he's a world-renowned author, speaker, podcaster who's helped thousands of people… and he's just landed his own network TV show.

Like Star-Lord and his crew of misfits, we might not be the smartest, flashiest, or the obvious picks to win…

But we won anyway!

And that's the thing – you don't need to be perfect to succeed in this game.

Like Elliott and me, you can create something awesome… even when no one else gives you a chance.

Let's get into how to do that during a quick "taco break"…

If last year felt kinda weird – that's because it was weird.

Conversions dropped. Engagement tanked – 2025 was a tough year to be a business owner.

So let's dig into some of the practical, tactical changes we're making this year.

And not just me…

In this week's episode of Dare to Launch, we're joined by Emma and Eleanor from The Reconnected.

They've done numerous seven-figure launches – and generated over A$10MM in a little over five years…

… but they also experienced a ton of challenges last year – challenges that affected pretty much every business owner (and a few crazy ones that didn't!).

Together, we break down the big shifts we saw in 2025… and what we're doubling down on over the next 12 months…

(Things you should be doubling down on too.)

We get into:

• How to pull off a six- or seven-figure launch – from your bed (Emma actually did this last year – it's a crazy story)

• The "Middle G" problem that was quietly costing them sales from their best customers

• Why charging for your free content could increase your show-up rates… and your sales

• The "real time vibe checks" their team track more than clicks and opens

• Why their best email strategy was also their big blindspot

• Why "I can't afford it" is rarely the true objection… and how to find the real reason your customers aren't buying

• The Slack channel that every member of their team watches during a launch

• How they get their customers to improve their messaging and write better copy… without them even knowing about it

… and more.

There's been some big shifts over the past year. But this isn't doom and gloom…

Customers are still buying.

People are still looking for real human beings to help them.

It's still an awesome time to be an entrepreneur.

This episode will help you show up and serve your people in a BIG way (and make it easier for them to say yes)...

My friend Pat Flynn just shared a great solution for the "succeed without burning yourself out" problem.

And this might be one of the best skills you can learn…

It's no secret I'm not hustle culture's biggest fan.

Sure, there are times when you need to push the pedal to the floor. But there's only so much pushing you can do before you burn out.

Trouble is, by the time you're smelling smoke… it's too late.

That's where Pat's technique comes in…

It's called a "Power 10." And it's something he learned in college to get ahead without hitting the wall.

(Pat also used it recently to finish writing his book in just 10 days… without sacrificing family time.)

Here's what's cool – once he explains it, you'll see how you can apply it to any area of your life – not just your business.

Here's Pat to walk you through it…

Hal Elrod shouldn't be alive.

When he was 20, he was hit head-on by a drunk driver and declared clinically dead for six minutes. When he came out of his coma, the doctors had more bad news – they told him he'd never walk again…

But he did.

Years later, Hal was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer… and given two weeks to live.

He beat that too.

You might think it's a miracle Hal is still alive… and you'd be right.

But this isn't luck… or chance.

Hal made TWO decisions on both those occasions that helped him beat the odds… and go on to achieve the impossible.

He calls them the "Miracle Equation."

And in this week's episode of Dare to Launch, he shares how you can use it to create miracles in your own life, including:

• The two part "Miracle Equation" Hal used to defy the doctors – and how you can it in business, launches, and life

• The Jim Rohn quote that inspired his entire Miracle Morning movement

• The single most effective Miracle Morning habit – and how to use it to hit your 2026 goals faster

• The three words Hal says to himself to bounce back from rejection, criticism, or any kind of crisis

• What most people get wrong about affirmations – and Hal's three-step approach that helps you cultivate a bulletproof mindset

• Plus – how to build your own "Miracle Morning" – Hal walks us through the six habits that can rebuild your mindset, your health, and your business.

… and more.

Hal's living proof that you can create miracles. But there's nothing woo-woo about this…

You need to put in the work. But if you're up to the task… you can achieve the impossible. And this episode will show you how.

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 to Launch – where Emma and Eleanor from The Reconnected share their "Launch Life" – is a great example.

("Launch Life" is the term we use in our community to describe your dream life – the ability to run your business so it fits your life and goals, rather than the other way around.)

Because while Emma and Eleanor share plenty of pinch me moments that often seem like far off dreams – international travel, holidays, financial freedom…

What I want you to pay attention to is how they made it happen…

They didn't change their business, their mission, or their clients… they built their dream life by evolving how they served their people.

That's why I want you to check out this clip.

Because whatever goals you're shooting for in 2026 – more freedom, more income, a bigger purpose…

… you might find they're closer than you think.

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 next, he's sketching out how he'd build an unstoppable team to grow his imaginary taco truck business, including:

• The first place he'd go to find new team members

• The subtle, intangible behaviors he'd look for before hiring anyone

• The "Escamole / Van Halen" trick he'd use to help him identify the best of the best

… and more.

This taco break is fun… and way more valuable than I thought it would be…

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.

Many folks miss out on these wins – not because they're using bad strategies…

They do it by filling their heads with negative stories and expectations before they even start.

(Yep… this is one of those "mindset" things.)

So let's get into what actually creates momentum – and how you can get more of it… fast!

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 business – without being the face of it

• The moment Johannes realized he could "create his own expert"... and why it worked

• The two business models he finds most effective for scaling

• How adding launches into his business grew it from six to seven figures – practically overnight

• Johannes advice for people who want to launch… but don't know where to start

• The high level strategies that he uses to build seven figure businesses in niches like speed reading, piano playing, real estate, and eyesight healing

• The questions he asks before starting a new business (or working with someone new)

If you want to build a big business – but don't want to be front and center – this episode is for you…

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 life feels full, rich, and rewarding, including:

• The difference between earning money vs. making money

• Why the ideas of "passive" income is a myth

• What financial freedom actually looks like (Mel gives one of the best definitions I've heard)

• Why striving for work/life balance is keeping you stuck in mediocrity (and what to aim for instead)

• A better way you can measure your wealth (it's not dollars)

• The FIVE income types every entrepreneur should know

… and more.

Mel's story is inspiring… and I don't say that lightly.

Ponzi schemes… surviving cancer – Mel's had what he calls a "million dollar education"... and he's sharing his hard-won wisdom.

This episode could change how you feel about money, freedom, and what really matters.

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.

In this clip from Dare to Launch, Chris and I chat to Michael Maidens about how to unlock your authentic abundance – the kind that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

In other words – you can have what you want… and feel great about it too.

We also get into:

• How to tell if you're chasing the wrong type of success

• What to do if something feels "off"

• Why you can't experience real abundance without authenticity

• A simple reframe that eliminates imposter syndrome (without needing to "fix" yourself)

… and more.

It's easy to feel you have to be something that you're not to succeed in this business. But as you'll see, experiencing true abundance isn't about changing who you are…

… it's about letting more of the real you come through.

Here's how to unlock your authentic abundance.
