The $1M Model That Lets You Work 3 Days a Week

If you're a coach or consultant stuck on calls, solving every problem, and still waiting for freedom, this is for you.

I've built and sold coaching businesses, scaled new ones to $200K months in under 90 days, and helped 7–9 figure founders grow clean, profitable companies that don't depend on them.

This podcast is about building a business that gives you your life back. No "hustle" or productivity hacks, just real systems that work.

👋🏼 If this is our first time meeting, I'm Chris Dufey, founder of The Rainmakers.

We help coaches and creators scale to $1M Profit with tiny teams and only working 2-4 hours a day.

A few years ago, I was sleeping on a couch, scrambling to build a business before my first daughter arrived.

She showed up. I wasn't ready.

Now, I've got four kids, homes in Bali and Australia, and I build 7- and 8-figure businesses that don't depend on me.

This podcast is for founders who want simple, scalable businesses that buy back time.
