My team and I have made a pretty big decision.

We’ve decided to shut down BOM Coaching, the BOM Membership, and BOMU at the beginning of 2023. 

This is not a decision we’ve made lightly. It is something I’ve struggled with. But ultimately, it’s a decision that I’ve made for my own sanity and for the sake of my team.

Take a listen to the final episode of the Certified BADA$$ Online Marketing Podcast to hear the reasons why we've made this decision and what it looks like for the future of my business.

In the Email Marketing That Doesn’t Suck podcast series, Harvard Law Grad Turned Online Entrepreneur and “email guy” takes a deep dive into all things email for online business owners. 

The series is anything but your typical podcast. This isn’t a meandering series of episodes that touch on different topics in a seemingly random path. Instead, this series is built as an audio mini-course to get you started doing email right.

Episode 1: Why Email Matters

This episode dives into why you should care about email as someone building a brand based on your knowledge and expertise.
