Real talk: Influencer marketing is here to stay, there’s no doubt about it.
But how do you get started? What do you need to know beforehand? And how do you leverage its power to scale your business (without needing millions in capital?)
That's just one of the many (MANY!) reasons I invited Dan Fleyshman, the youngest founder of a publicly traded company and a mastermind in the entrepreneurial world, as a guest on the show.
In our conversation, Dan methodically walks us through his diverse portfolio, showing us how he’s been an angel investor for over 43 companies, including investing in brands and apps through influencers. Dan also shares his success story of launching a store chain (IN THE MIDDLE of the pandemic, nonetheless.)
In this episode, you’ll learn the nuances of influencer marketing and the strategies that have propelled his ventures to the forefront of their industries.

There is one content component that can (quite literally) make or break your searchability and discoverability: your titles.
Titles are almost always the first impression your audience has of your content. And a well-crafted title can capture attention, entice curiosity, and drive engagement. (Yes, and amen!)
The problem is titles often get little to no intentional thought. And without a proper framework to create them, your content doesn’t get the attention it SO much deserves.
This is exactly why, in this episode, you’ll learn tips and frameworks for creating effective titles, how to leverage “prime real estate" in your titles, and an inside look on how I personally title my classes/videos/episodes/offers.

What are you obsessed with right now?
For 90% of things in life, being obsessed with someone or something is not a good idea. But then, as it usually happens… the remaining 10% doesn’t apply to business.
Or at least it hasn’t been true for my own business journey.
In this episode, I’m walking you through my very own framework (one I use often!) to turn obsessions into success.
Every person has their own story, but in my experience, being disciplined, focused, and resourceful, is a byproduct of positively leveraging obsession.
At the end of the day, we won’t get to change our story if we don’t combine passion and focus. And that’s what I’m teaching you today. I hope it serves you well.

Can you believe we’re halfway through 2024?
(I’ll pause to let that sink in.)
This is a moment to reflect on what’s worked so far and where adjustments may need to be made. I know I might sound a little crazy, but I believe reflection has the power to reshape your perspective and reignite your motivation…and that's EXACTLY what we’re going to do today.

I’m fully convinced that the foundation for long-term success in business is not built through flashy tactics and quick wins.
Years of success have taught me that big wins are built over time: brick by brick by brick.

But I’m getting vulnerable and sharing them with you in real time so you can see what building a business really looks like.
