Let’s talk takeaways from CEO Week—one of my favorite weeks of the entire year. I hosted 26 brilliant humans at my home for three days of deep work, real rest, and raw conversations about what it actually takes to lead a business right now.

In this episode, I’m walking you through how the week was set up, what we ate, who showed up (yes, even a bobcat), and the four big themes that kept coming up: rest as a requirement, not a reward… the very real now-ness of AI (including coaching clones)… why weekly webinars are the new clarity engine… and how to tell the difference between overthinking, overcomplicating, and over functioning—so you can stop spinning and start leading.

This one’s packed. Might be the one to send to your biz bestie.

Let’s talk about the least sexy but most reliable way to make money online: daily sales activities. If you're in the short-game season (aka you need cash, like now), this episode breaks down exactly what to do—no ads, no funnels, no waiting around for strangers on the internet to “discover” you. Just the kind of relationship-driven selling that builds real momentum. I’ll walk you through the three purposes behind daily sales work, give y

In this episode, I’m unpacking one of the biggest reasons entrepreneurs sabotage their own success — not because they’re flaky or lack strategy, but because their nervous system can’t handle how slow the long game feels. I dive into the tension between needing short-term cash and trying to build long-term stability, and why confusing the two timelines is what keeps so many people stuck. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why can’t I just commit and stay consistent?” — this is the episode you need to hear.

Let’s talk about the power of attention—and why it might be the most underrated form of agency you have.

In this episode, I share what’s been happening in my quiet time lately (including a moment from Isaiah 6 that wrecked me), what I’ve noticed about my patterns when it comes to truth and rupture, and why attention doesn’t just shape your marketing—it literally shapes your worldview.

Whether you’re spiritual, strategic, or both—there’s something here for anyone who’s ever struggled to show up online, stay focused, or figure out what actually matters in the noise.

Let’s get real about the messy middle of writing a book. Spoiler: “Million Dollar Grit” is finally wrapped—but not the way I first imagined. I chopped it down to the raw decade that took me from stay-at-home chaos in 2007 to my first million in 2017, before ClickFunnels days, before Funnel Gorgeous, before DI. Think 15 chapters of war-stories and million-buck lessons, minus the parts I’m still living and processing (privacy, haters, emotional landmines—yeah, those).

In this episode I break down why the manuscript shrank from 80K words to a tight 30K, how God nudged me to give it away for free, and what’s next: an ebook and a private podcast where I’ll read each chapter and riff on the bits that didn’t make the cut.

“Someone told me, ‘Julie, you preach niche clarity but don’t follow your own advice.’ They weren’t wrong—but they also missed the bigger picture. This episode is for the multi-passionate entrepreneur trying to figure out where to pitch their tent (and why your niche isn’t what you sell, it’s where you sell it).”

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on why webinars break down — and it’s not just the tech. I’m walking you through the real fault lines I see over and over again: messy offers, flat hooks, chaotic pitches, weak proof, boring slides, low show-up rates — you name it. Whether you’re launching live or running an evergreen funnel, these are the spots that sabotage results. I’m also sharing how I’m turning this into a full-on webinar support group, so you’re never stuck alone trying to figure it out again. Let’s fix your webinar, for real this time.

Let’s talk about why you shouldn’t be that founder who’s scrambling to “just hire a CMO” when your business is still finding its footing. I share a story about the time I helped build a program for CEOs and marketing directors—only to realize later that outsourcing your entire marketing before you’ve proven your funnel is a recipe for chaos. I’ve been at both ends of the spectrum—building my own company’s marketing at $4 M/year and stepping into the CMO role at ClickFunnels when they were pushing $100 M—and I’ve seen firsthand how handing off vision too soon can cost you more than money.

Let’s talk about the moment you want to throw your whole plan in the trash three months after starting it. You know the one. In this episode, I’m unpacking one of my favorite coaching questions: Was the version of you that made this plan stupid? (Spoiler: probably not.) If you keep second-guessing your own strategy, this is the convo you need. I’m walking you through how to tell the difference between a legit pivot and a sneaky self-sabotage loop—plus giving you three checks to make before you scrap what you’ve built.

Ever feel like your sales page or webinar should be working… but it’s just not converting?

This might be the missing piece:

You’re making a sales argument—but not a marketing one.

Today I’m diving into what that means, how to spot it, and why even your best offer needs more than just logic to land.
