Underdog Empowerment

Imagine a tool that could revolutionize your marketing efforts, making it easier than ever to create compelling copy and generate results. That's exactly what Lead Scripts, created by the brilliant mind of Craig Kelley, offers. As an entrepreneur who has been building SaaS applications for years, Craig understands the challenges faced by business owners and the importance of effective marketing. Lead Scripts is the culmination of his years of experience and expertise, designed to help entrepreneurs like you build successful brands.

Craig's journey began with a passion for web hosting and a thirst for knowledge. What started as a personal endeavor soon turned into a thriving business. Along the way, he developed a Twitter marketing app, dedicating eight years to its development and learning valuable lessons. However, he discovered that businesses didn't prioritize Twitter as much as he initially thought. Undeterred, Craig redirected his focus to musicians, creating an app to help them book gigs and connect with publications. It was during this time that he encountered a common obstacle: crafting compelling copy.

Frustrated with the lack of effective copywriting tools available, Craig took matters into his own hands and created Lead Scripts. He recognized that many entrepreneurs faced the same paralysis when it came to crafting impactful copy and saw an opportunity to go beyond the 80% who give up. His solution was to provide entrepreneurs with a tool that would streamline the copywriting process and propel their businesses forward.

Contrary to his initial concerns, niching down with Lead Scripts didn't limit Craig's success. In fact, it proved to be the catalyst for his rapid growth. Within no time, Lead Scripts was generating over $10,000 per month. Craig wasted no time in launching a minimal viable product and advertising it to the world. While he received initial orders, he also encountered refund requests from customers whose expectations weren't met. However, he didn't let this deter him. He recognized the importance of user feedback and utilized it to improve and refine Lead Scripts.

Craig's commitment to continuous improvement paid off when he submitted Lead Scripts to AppSumo. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with sales totaling $13,000 in the first week alone. The feedback he received during this period allowed him to further enhance the tool. Over the course of a year, Craig refined and perfected Lead Scripts, leveraging user feedback to create a product that truly meets the needs of entrepreneurs.

Lead Scripts goes beyond typical copywriting tools by incorporating lifecycle marketing strategies. It helps you generate customer avatars, enabling you to understand your target market on a deeper level. By knowing their hobbies, preferred hangout spots, and other essential details, you can create tailored marketing campaigns that resonate with your audience.

Exciting developments are on the horizon for Lead Scripts, including the introduction of wizards to guide users through its various features. The more you use Lead Scripts, the smarter it becomes, adapting to your unique needs and delivering even more value. While some may compare it to free alternatives like ChatGPT, Lead Scripts offers a comprehensive and in-depth marketing plan that can transform your business.

Real-world success stories speak volumes about the power of Lead Scripts. One client, who had never used AI before, saw remarkable results by simply leveraging the tool's pre-made scripts and tweaking their ads. They went from having a single subscriber to over 300 in the first month alone.

If you're an underdog entrepreneur starting from scratch, Craig's advice is simple yet profound: leverage the wealth of knowledge available in libraries and utilize the numerous free tools at your disposal. When faced with challenges, remember that many before you have encountered similar obstacles but have given up. Persistence is key, so keep pushing forward and never give up. Success doesn't happen overnight, but by putting in the effort.

If you're interested in trying Lead Scripts for yourself, head over to underdogempowerment.com/leadscripts and use the promo code "underdog" for 50% off your first month.

Mike Claudio is a man who understands the power of a single conversation. As a personal coach and founder of a nonprofit organization that provides name-brand shoes to children in need, Mike has built a reputation for caring deeply about people and helping them achieve their goals.

Unlike many individual coaches out there, Mike has built a coaching business that focuses on developing people in all areas of their lives. He believes that true success comes from finding balance and harmony between work, family, and personal growth, and he works tirelessly to help his clients achieve that balance. And when he's not coaching, he's busy running his nonprofit organization, which has sent over 5000 pairs of shoes to children in need over the last two years.

Growing up, Mike had a strong work ethic instilled in him by his parents, who were always pushing him and his siblings to be their best. But he also felt the pressure to conform to society's expectations of what success should look like. He went to college, got a corporate job, and tried to fit into the mold that had been laid out for him. But despite his successes, he felt unfulfilled and unhappy.

It wasn't until he tore his ACL during his senior year of high school that he realized how much he had invested in sports and how little he had invested in his personal growth. He didn't have any backup plans or hobbies, and he felt lost without sports to give him a sense of purpose. He turned to all the wrong things to fill the void, and it took years before he started to do what was truly best for him.

After spending a decade in corporate America, Mike knew he needed to make a change. He wanted to build his own legacy and be in control of his future, so he took the leap and started his own coaching business. And when his former employer tried to scare him into staying, it only confirmed for Mike that he was on the right path.

If he could go back and give himself one piece of advice as an underdog entrepreneur, Mike would tell himself to start building his personal brand from the very beginning. He knows that a strong personal brand can open doors and create opportunities that might not otherwise be available, and he believes that it's the key to building a successful business.

Mike's story is a powerful reminder that success isn't just about achieving external markers of success like a big house or a high-paying job. It's about finding balance and harmony in all areas of your life and investing in your personal growth and development. One thing that keeps Mike on track is his 'champions manifesto', which is outlined below:

Creating Champions by having an impact on every conversation I have. Be the example. Setting the STANDARD.

• I am the CEO of my home

• I am the example of a champion in all things I do for my wife and sons

• I am the example of discipline and mental toughness for my son's first

• I am the best one on one business coach for contractors in the WORLD to show my sons what's possible

• I am a Life Changer and I started with my own

• I am one of the best speakers in the world because I never miss an opportunity to talk with my kids

• I am the most authentic and transparent person I know because I am raising men that I want to follow me

• I am one of the best CEOs in the country

• I own a $4 Million revenue company in 2023

• I own a $10 million revenue company in 2026 with 61 employees

• I am a decamillionaire at 40 (Net worth of $25,000,000)

• I will have 15 coaches in 2023

• I will have 40 coaches in 2026

• I will do 10 hours of coaching per week in 2023

• I will do 0 hours of external coaching in 2024

• I will never overindulge

• I will never give anyone my power

• I will never be a disengaged parent

• I will never be a disengaged husband

• I will never let my ego become a problem

• I will never forget who I am and not be comfortable and confident with it

• Communicate proactively

• Operate with a help-first mentality

• Appreciate everyone's time

• Continually evolve

• Have a championship mindset

• My Reminders:

• I own the room when I walk in. I need to own that responsibility.

• I want to make an impact with every conversation I have.

• I want to make decisions in my life where money and health are not part of the equation.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither knows victory nor defeat."

What You'll Learn:

• What blissful dissatisfaction is.
• Why a morning routine is so important.
• What a 'champions manifesto' is and why you should consider having one.
• And much more!

In 2018, a popular episode featured Daniel Doan and his intriguing backstory. If you haven't checked it out yet, you should definitely give it a listen. A follow-up has been long overdue, and today Daniel shares what he has been up to for the last 5 years.

Daniel, at one point, didn't know how to stand out in the crowded world of personal branding. He realized that his brand needed to stand for something, something that would stick with his audience. He experimented with humor and found success when a banana meme he shared went viral. From there, he doubled down and began creating banana-related content, including jokes and skits.

Despite his success in the world of comedy, Daniel was most passionate about his work in neuro response copywriting. He recognized that many writers struggle to balance the need for brand recognition with the need for conversion. Daniel sought to tap into the neurological responses that occur when certain words are read, using data analysis to determine which phrases and words in which locations sparked the desired response. This approach allowed him to shift prospects' beliefs about their situation and what is possible, ultimately creating copy that both resonates and converts.

For Daniel, the goal was never just about making money. He wanted to make an impact on this earth, and he recognized that building relevance was the first step toward achieving that goal. Now, he's more focused on making an impact than earning a high income.

When asked what advice he would give himself if he had to start over with nothing but the wisdom and knowledge he has gained, Daniel's response was simple: start talking to people and get in the right rooms. As an underdog entrepreneur, he recognized the importance of networking and surrounding oneself with people who can offer valuable insights and support. With his talent and experience, it's clear that Daniel's journey is far from over.

What You'll Learn:

• How neuroscience intersects with copywriting.
• The most common mistake marketers are making.
• How to leverage your credibility.
• And much more!

The Underdog Empowerment Podcast is celebrating its 5-year anniversary, and Zach has some valuable insights to share. The first takeaway is the importance of consistency. By showing up and doing what you say you'll do, you build trust with your audience. Zach has never missed a release date in five years, and this has helped build a loyal following. In fact, staying consistent can put you ahead of 90% of other content creators out there.

The second takeaway is that hosting a podcast can help you become a master communicator. Initially, talking into a microphone may feel strange, but with practice, it becomes easier. Zach knows what it's like to experience limiting beliefs and fear when interviewing guests, but keeping the conversation flowing is essential.

The third takeaway is that having a podcast makes creating content easier. By recording video and audio, you can turn them into shorts, blogs, emails, and more. Repurposing content helps you reach a broader audience and saves time in content creation.

Finally, podcasting is an excellent tool to build a network and brand. Zach used the podcast to connect with people who are doing what he wants to be doing in life and develop rock-solid relationships. It's a great way to get into the same room with those people and learn from them.

The podcast agency was always a stepping stone for Zach, but it took away from his true passion for creating. Now, the host is outsourcing everything to chase their dreams, including launching Alpha Underdog Apparel, becoming a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, coaching/helping build personal brands, and achieving big goals in real estate. These include acquiring a 100-acre family plot and creating a bunch of Airbnb properties.

Overall, the Underdog Empowerment Podcast's 5-year anniversary celebrates not only the podcast's success but also the lessons learned. Consistency, communication, content creation, and networking are key to building a successful brand, and Zach is using these lessons to chase his dreams.

What You'll Learn:

• Why people lack consistency.
• What limiting beliefs are and how to overcome them.
• How many different ways you can repurpose podcast content.
• And much more!

Stacey Raske, a specialist in mind unfuckery, appears on today's show to discuss her work. She's very focused on managing her time, attention, and money within her businesses and emphasizes the need to schedule time solely for business. She believes doing so allows for a deeper focus on tasks and the alignment of one's actions with their goals.

Stacey's backstory informs her approach to her work. For years, she wore a mask of who she thought she should be and worried about everyone else, which led her to minimize her skills as a natural healer. She followed the prescribed path, deviated from her true calling, and hit rock bottom in 2014. She weighed twice as much as she does now, had PTSD, was losing her corporate career, and her marriage was falling apart. She realized that she was trying to make herself look as ugly on the outside as she felt on the inside because she hated herself. This was the last time she was suicidal. She decided to stop trying to control anything other than herself and began taking back her power every day. She lost 100 pounds in a year, overcame obstacles, and decided to help others overcome their problems.

Stacey's work is all about being in alignment with one's truth and identity. She challenges the notion that people have to prove their worth through hustling, grinding, and sacrificing. Instead, she encourages people to do what is fun and easy for them as the best way to make a living. People have always come to her with their problems, but it took her a lifetime to realize that she could get paid for it. The magic of her work is just being herself and facilitating transformation.

Stacey started coaching because she felt like she should do it. She started as a health coach but wanted to go deeper and pivoted into mindset coaching. She realized that she enjoyed working with entrepreneurs, and her work continued to evolve as she grew and changed. Stacey always has coaches and mentors herself because she knows that she has to do the work to be able to help others do the work. Her work has evolved into a holistic approach to elevating leaders and entrepreneurs. Stacey emphasizes that if you truly want to scale your impact, your legacy, etc., you have to break down internal walls and integrate who you truly are. When you do this, everything external becomes easy and effortless.

Stacey's first therapeutic journey was in 2016 with ayahuasca, which brought her level of control issues to the surface. She didn't do another guided journey until 2022, but she found her recreational use of MDMA in the past had helped her mental well-being. She uses psilocybin when she needs to do a deep dive into inner work. Stacey believes that you can read all the books and attend all the seminars, but if you're just chasing a quick fix to feel better in the moment, you'll end up coming up against the same problem over and over again.

Stacey emphasizes that initially, things get worse before they get better when you dive into the pain you've been avoiding. However, it's important to realize it's your awareness that's increasing, but the problem isn't any bigger than it was. If you're willing to dive in, the power comes from the pain, and it's where you'll learn your greatest lessons. If you avoid it, you'll avoid your greatness. Until you heal your inner worthiness wound, it will continue to show up everywhere in your life.

At the end of 2020, Stacey opened up her coaching to men as well. She believes that it's time to elevate everyone who fits her client profile, which is the true alpha balance of high sensitivity and high sensation seeking. You can care without taking on responsibility for things that aren't within your control and setting boundaries.

What You'll Learn:

• Why setting an intention is important in inner work.
• What spiritual bypassing is?
• Why you market to wants not needs.
• How our superpowers can also be our downfalls.

Bart Pietrzak is the founder and owner of an incredible gym that opened in October of last year. Despite the challenges of running a business, Pietrzak describes his experience as the best ever. He attributes this success to his amazing staff and members, who have created a strong sense of community and positive energy within the gym.

While the gym may appear intimidating on the surface, Pietrzak explains that everyone is friendly and approachable. To help maintain a positive environment, he developed a red bracelet that reads "Focused AF" to signal to others that the wearer does not wish to be approached or bothered. While this idea was originally intended to address a common problem at other gyms, Pietrzak has found that it is not necessary at his gym, where everyone is respectful of each other's space.

Pietrzak believes in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, which he accomplishes by focusing on four pillars of life: fitness, finance, relationships, and mindset. He emphasizes the importance of being clear about one's goals and values in each area of life and striving to uphold those standards. For example, as a father, he cannot encourage his daughter to work hard and chase her dreams if he is not doing so himself.

One of the most challenging aspects of running a business, according to Pietrzak, is sticking to one's belief system and having faith that it will lead to the desired outcome. He explains that it can be difficult to approach mistakes with understanding and calm, especially when one has strong feelings about a particular issue.

Pietrzak also acknowledges that he tends to have a perfectionist mentality and can be reluctant to delegate tasks. However, he has found that giving his team the freedom to create their own standard operating procedures (SOPs) fosters a sense of ownership and pride in their work.

For Pietrzak, his gym is an extension of himself. He strives to be purpose-driven and make decisions that align with his values and beliefs. He encourages others to do the same and to hold themselves and others accountable for their actions.

Regarding nutrition, Pietrzak suggests listening to one's intuition and choosing a few whole foods that one enjoys rather than forcing oneself to eat all the "healthy" foods. He warns against eating processed foods and explains that many food companies are owned by big tobacco, which is skilled at getting people addicted to their products.

Finally, Pietrzak offers advice to those starting from scratch. He emphasizes the importance of being resourceful and getting hands-on experience. This mindset has clearly served him well, as he has built a successful gym from the ground up.

In summary, Bart Pietrzak's gym is more than just a place to work out; it is a community built on strong values and a sense of purpose. Pietrzak's approach to business and life emphasizes the importance of upholding one's standards and staying true to one's beliefs. By being resourceful, maintaining a positive attitude, and staying focused on one's goals, it is possible to build a successful and fulfilling life.

What You'll Learn:

• How your missions and values attract your tribe.
• Why you should aim for neutrality.
• How to do massively hard things in life.
• And much more!

Matthew Schmitt is a successful entrepreneur and marketer from the St. Louis area. He was born and raised in Chesterfield, and his father worked for Anheuser Busch, the maker of Bud Light. After graduating with an IT degree during a recession, Matthew found it difficult to secure a job in his field, and ended up living in his parents' basement while applying to anything he could get his hands on.

Matthew's back was against the wall, so he started to play around with building a website and documenting his weight loss journey, which ultimately led him to lose 100 pounds. Although he was good at building, he struggled with monetizing his website. Eventually, he found a job at Anheuser Busch, but he was still itching for something else.

Matthew started to experiment with affiliate marketing on Google, but he got shut down. However, when Facebook opened up targeting and ads, he became one of the first people to get involved. He did direct-to-print t-shirt sales, which didn't require a lot of inventory, and he was able to test what worked in a systematic way.

Matthew was eventually promoted at Anheuser Busch, but he was putting in more hours, and his wife said that he couldn't do both jobs at the same time. So he got out of his day job and started his own company out of his house. He built the company up to $20 million, and sold it when his daughter was born.

Matthew realized that it was important to be fulfilled in life, and to have the skill to enjoy life while still looking towards the future. He believes that it's important to always be in the mode of stretching oneself, and he wants to role model that for his daughters. Matthew is a strategic thinker who enjoys playing poker and thinking through puzzles involving math and psychology.

Matthew's advice to anyone starting a business is to give respect where it's due, and to focus on marketing apparel that doesn't require inventory. He stresses that you need to have a reason why someone will buy from you, and that you need to be relatable to your customers. Matthew's company donates to no-kill shelters, and he believes that people care more than you think about connection beyond transaction.

Matthew also stresses the importance of understanding the platforms you're working on. For example, Facebook is a social media platform where people don't come to see your product, so your ads have to snap them out of their scrolling state. Google, on the other hand, is an intent-based platform where people come to seek out your product, so securing the first spot in a brand search is crucial.

Finally, if Matthew had to start over with nothing but the wisdom and knowledge gained through his experiences, his first piece of advice to himself would be to not chase short-term goals, but to keep an eye on the long-term mission. He believes that building a true brand, not just cash, is the key to seeking fulfillment from the start.

In conclusion, Matthew Schmitt is a successful entrepreneur who has built multiple companies by focusing on marketing and understanding the platforms he works on. He emphasizes the importance of having a mission, being relatable to customers, and building a brand that is true to your values. Matthew's story serves as an inspiration to anyone looking to start their own business or achieve their goals in life.

What You'll Learn:

• The differences between advertising on Google and Facebook.
• Why establishing a mission and values is so important.
• What it means to secure the first spot in a brand search.
• And much more!

Hector Gonzalez is a successful entrepreneur who has achieved financial success through subscriptions and coaching. Hector also uses social media to draw in his audience with short-form, polarizing posts that ignite engagement and discussion in the comments section. Currently in the midst of a two and a half day fast, Hector's energy and focus is on point. He's pumped and ready to share his secrets to productivity with listeners.

Hector's upbringing in the Bronx in a single-parent household taught him the importance of self-reliance and responsibility. He watched his mother pull herself up by the bootstraps and change her life. His mother's religious beliefs had a strong impact on Hector and eventually led him to mission work in places like Pakistan and Mexico. During his seven years of mission work, Hector developed a passion for business and creating content. He was able to raise $3,000 in a day through content creation, which led to his interest in creating and scaling subscriptions.

In the face of the pandemic, Hector and his team helped businesses build monthly recurring revenue. He understands the fear of communicating and public speaking, as he had a stutter growing up. He advises others to be okay with looking like a fool, being scared, and doing it anyway. He reminds us that successful people are where they are because they took action.

To build a subscription model, Hector creates a complimentary offer for clients, such as a $300/month subscription to get started, and credits the first three months towards a higher-ticket item once revenue starts to come in. He believes that subscriptions can be hands-off, freeing up time for entrepreneurs to focus on other aspects of their business. Hector recommends building a business to be sellable, even if you don't plan on selling it, because you never know what life can throw at you. Potential buyers will be attracted by recurring revenue.

Hector emphasizes the importance of human touch in the age of AI. One of his strategies he offers to clients is to engage in high-end coaching with one to two calls per week and stream one call every other week to subscription clients. Hector also recommends consolidating podcast content into a master class for podcast growth and using it as a lead generator for subscriptions on the back end.

If he had to start over with nothing but the knowledge gained through experience, Hector would advise himself to post content consistently and engage with audiences. He emphasizes the importance of partnerships and collaboration in content creation and building a business. Hector stresses the need to get really good at the basics.

What You'll Learn:

• The spiritual and physical benefits of fasting.
• How to use entertainment to your business advantage.
• How to build a subscription model.
• Why people crave the human touch in business more than ever.

Nathan Brooks made a living as a musician for nearly 20 years, playing at bars until the early hours of the morning before performing at church on Sunday. Although he enjoyed the experience, it was challenging to earn a good living in the music industry. Nathan then became obsessed with real estate and began flipping houses despite having no prior experience. Unfortunately, this venture did not go well, especially with the housing market collapse, and he filed for bankruptcy in 2009. After several years of working to rebuild his credit, Natha started again in 2012, and in 2015, he founded his own company, Bridge Real Estate Investing. This company focuses on new construction and Airbnb rentals. Having utilized books as a low-cost, high-impact tool to success, Nathan decided to write his own book titled "No Quitter's Guide".

Work-life balance is essential for Nathan, who values spending time with his children. He's also interested in plant medicine and has done extensive work on his own personal trauma. Nathan believes that everyone has trauma, and it is crucial to stop the cycle and evolve as a person. He believes that owning up to mistakes and apologizing to children teaches them valuable lessons about how we all make mistakes and can learn from them.

Nathan has been in the Airbnb space for a while and has bought and sold approximately 30 properties. He currently owns around 15-20 properties but cautions that the market is currently challenging due to many people having the same idea. Interest rates are also higher than they were previously. He prefers to buy properties in areas he loves, and he has properties that net $30-40k a year after expenses. He recommends purchasing a handful of properties in your local market that generate high cash flow and then one reward property that may not cash flow as much.

Nathan's ultimate goal is to be worth $30-40 million and be able to donate half of his net worth to philanthropies, specifically those that focus on arts and education. He is passionate about helping kids succeed in their musical or artistic journeys and sees making a huge impact as the ultimate goal.

Nathan believes that having a clear vision is essential to success. He compares this to being a sniper in business rather than a machine gunner. He also believes that building relationships and asking how you can help others is key to success. He advises asking for what you want and being prepared to receive it. Finally, he stresses the importance of hard work and being willing to step outside of one's comfort zone. Nathan is passionate about being a student, always learning, and growing. He acknowledges that people may only see the final outcome of others' success, but it is essential to do the work and put in the effort to achieve it.

What You'll Learn:

• How to build a life you love.
• The difference between home equity line of credit and cash out refinance.
• How to calculate how much equity you can take out.
• What the BRRRR method is with house flipping.
