060: The Rise of Affiliate Marketing in Web3 Will Change the Entire Industry ft. Cole Chapman
In today's episode, we discuss the future of affiliate marketing. Specifically, how affiliate marketing is going to bridge the gap between today's web 2.0 and tomorrow's web 3.0. For context, you may recognize one of web3's notorious pillars: the NFT. To help with the transition to web3, one of the first affiliate marketing DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) communities is launching soon.
The goal? According to Affiliate DAO, it's "bringing together the top players from around the world to shape the future of the affiliate marketing industry” with a private members-only Discord community, roundtables, guest speakers, and shared ownership of the community.
One of the co-founders of Affiliate DAO, Cole Chapman, joins ClickBank's Kyle Kostechka and Thomas McMahon to discuss web3, its application to affiliate marketing, and how Chapman's organization is hoping to change the topography of an entire industry.

059: Solopreneur Wealth Management Tactics To Save High-Scale Income ft. Caleb Guilliams
Think of your income like water flowing into a bucket. Are there any holes in your bucket? Folks like Caleb Guilliams, founder and CEO of BetterWealth, help you seal those holes through wealth efficiency tactics designed to save people money so they can live a more intentional lifestyle.
Recently at ClickBank's Platinum Summit in Costa Rica, he spoke with Thomas McMahon about keeping what's already earned in the bank, or better yet: invested in growth strategies for your business. After speaking with clients, on average they save $30,000, which he says is more valuable than simply pulling a lever and making $30,000, once you factor in the take-home value of those earnings.
Caleb speaks across the country about wealth management and works directly with clients.

054: Use the Reverse Pyramid of Affiliate Acquisition To Grow a 7-Figure Affiliate Program
If you find yourself in a position to build out an affiliate program, you may be wondering how to go about finding the right affiliates for your brand, not just any affiliate.
