What if you could earn money while you're at the beach, playing with your kids, or binging your favorite show—and Amazon did all the selling for you? Sounds too good to be true, right? That’s exactly what I thought… until I heard today’s guest break it all down. In this episode, I sat down with Kathleen Kobel, who’s helped thousands of brands grow on Amazon, and she opened my eyes to an entirely new kind of income stream that I had no idea existed.

It’s designed to bring in passive income without needing a massive audience or being glued to your phone all day. If you’ve been craving a way to simplify your business or add a new stream of revenue without burning out, you’re going to love this.

02:50 - Kathleen’s inspiration behind writing The Unconventional Business Model and the biggest takeaway for building a business that fits your lifestyle

I spent months avoiding a big project, not because I wasn’t excited about it, but because I kept falling into a sneaky productivity trap: procrastiworking.

In this episode, I’m getting real about how I let a major project sit on the back burner for way too long, even though I genuinely wanted to get it done. Instead of tackling it, I kept choosing “easier” tasks that felt productive but weren’t actually moving the needle. Sound familiar?

I’m sharing what finally snapped me out of that cycle, how an unexpected conversation with ChatGPT gave me the clarity I didn’t even know I needed, and the surprisingly simple shift I made in my daily schedule that’s now helping me get more done with way less stress.

If you’ve been curious about using AI for weekly planning, I’ll show you how I spend just 15 minutes each week mapping out my time using a mix of AI tools and Notion. This approach helps me protect my best brain hours and actually finish the things that matter most.

Want to see my exact Notion dashboard that I mention in this episode? DM me on Instagram @kristendoyle.co and I’ll send it your way!

02:12 - A story of how procrastination led me to a life-changing “talk” with ChatGPT

05:05 - The realization that I needed to organize my day around my most productive work hours

08:25 -  How I use AI to plan out an entire week that fits my custom schedule (and the results I’ve seen)

15:23 - What to do before trying AI for weekly planning in your business

Think your sales page is ‘good enough’? What if a few small tweaks could double your income—without creating a single new product?"

We’ll dive into the four stages every buyer goes through and how to align your sales pages with each stage. I’m also giving you five actionable sales page tips you can implement today, including how to upgrade your visuals, product previews, descriptions, social proof, and pricing strategy.

Plus, I share how I personally set this up inside my email marketing platform, Kit (without wanting to chuck my laptop out the window).

This isn’t about writing perfect emails or nailing it on your first try. It’s about building a system that works behind the scenes to welcome, nurture, and sell while you focus on creating and serving. Whether you’re brand new to email marketing or finally ready to automate this crucial step, this episode will give you the push, and the plan, you need to get started!
