  • GBWS | The Magic of Mini Workshops: A Practical Way to Grow Your Business without Social Media with Justin DeMers

    Hey Winner,

    In this episode, I’m joined by Justin DeMers, founder of Wake Up To Freedom and a dad who’s built his business around one core belief: your business should support your family, not compete with it. Justin has helped over 16,000 coaches and course creators build steadier, more predictable sales without relying on daily posting, launches, or algorithms.

    We’re talking about mini workshops. Not webinars that fade into the background. Not high-pressure launches. But short, paid workshops that create trust, momentum, and clarity while keeping marketing contained and life-friendly.

    This episode is especially for entrepreneurs who are tired of feeling like visibility requires constant output, and who want a calmer, more intentional way to grow without disappearing altogether.

    Rooting for you ~ Gabe

     

    Listen to hear:

    • How short paid workshops create momentum, trust, and qualification without daily content.
    • A simple workshop sales rhythm that makes marketing intentional and contained, instead of constant.
    • Choosing workshop topics that get signups and showups.

        If you’ve been trying to grow your business on your own, this session will shift your perspective.

                Hey Winner,

                If you’re tired of feeling like more sales always require more noise, this conversation will feel like a deep breath.

                In this episode, I’m joined by Chris Orzechowski, founder of West Egg, who’s built a multi-seven-figure business by doing something most people overlook. He focused on understanding his audience instead of chasing more traffic.

                        If social media has started to feel more draining than effective, this conversation will feel deeply affirming.

                            Hey Winner,

                            Collaborative events can feel like a lot. Big launches, complex logistics, and a level of pressure that doesn’t always fit the season you’re in. But what if there was a simpler way to collaborate… one that still leads to meaningful email list growth without all the noise?

                            In this conversation with Jan Touchberry, we’re breaking down her Workflow Exchange and how smaller, more intentional collaborative events can create real value for both hosts and contributors. You’ll hear what made this model work, what stayed simple on purpose, and how you might start thinking about something similar in your own business.

                            If you’ve been curious about collaborations but hesitant to take on something big, this episode will give you a clearer, more doable path forward.
