In this raw and real “Laying Bricks” episode, I pull back the curtain on Q1 of 2025—from launching the second round of Your Biggest Launch Ever to experimenting with podcast monetization.
You’ll hear why we hired alumni entrepreneurs as our sales team, how we ditched commissions and brought in pro trainers to level them up, and what that taught me about leadership and selling with heart.
Plus, I share the big shifts I’m feeling in the business, the risks I’m taking, and what it looks like to play a bigger game this year.
Here's an honest look at how I’m building the next version of my business—one brick at a time.
