The Most Dangerous Thing You Can Do Is Play It Safe | #Success - Ep. 23

I break down 15 qualities Hill believed made someone unfireable, and they’re just as powerful today as they were 100 years ago.The good stuff never goes out of style or becomes irrelevant!We also talk about wrestling tournaments (You know… old dudes with replaced hips still chasing greatness), the true role of an advertiser, and why “a ship in a harbor is safe… but that’s not what ships are built for”!This one’s a personal one. It's part motivation, part business masterclass, and part time capsule from one of the greatest thinkers of all time.Key Highlights: The bicep story: Why I wrestled through torn arms—and don’t regret it Two types of “What ifs”—and which one will change your life The 15 qualities that made Napoleon Hill say: “I’ll hire you on the spot” Why personal development is the secret to great advertising (Hill + Collier knew this) The Peterson Academy model, and why it fired me up about education A ship in the harbor is safe… but that’s not what ships are built for This episode will hit home if you’ve ever felt stuck, soft, or like you’ve been playing too small.

One Funnel to Rule Them All: The Strategy Revealed | #Marketing - Ep. 22

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I break down one of the most important lessons I’ve ever learned in marketing and business: Every company has one funnel that rules them all!  …and the faster you identify and optimize yours, the faster you grow!I share the same framework I taught at Funnel Hacking Live this year, walking through the difference between acquisition funnels (how you acquire customers) and monetization funnels (how you make money from them after). Most people launch 10 funnels hoping one works… but the real secret is knowing which one deserves 90% of your attention, budget, and traffic.We also dive deep into the numbers from my own businesses… Including ClickFunnels, Prime Mover, Dan Kennedy’s legacy brands, and more.  And I reveal how each one has a different “one funnel to rule them all” depending on the market and business model.If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or spread too thin trying to launch too many offers, this episode will snap everything into focus.Key Highlights: Why “One Funnel to Rule Them All” isn’t just a slogan, it’s survival!!! The difference between acquisition and monetization funnels (and why you need both) How much time you should be spending on social media vs. paid ads The actual CPA and conversion numbers from our Selling Online funnel What Agora does better than almost anyone in the world, and how to model it How to give yourself a raise every single day This is one of those episodes that separates marketers from business owners. Rewind it. Take notes. And go build the funnel that actually grows your company!https://sellingonline.com/podcasthttps://clickfunnels.com/podcastSpecial thanks to our sponsors: NordVPN: EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/secrets Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

What Wrestling Taught Me About Pain, Purpose & Pushing Through | #Success - Ep. 21

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I take you behind the scenes of my annual return to the wrestling mat… A ritual that’s become one of the most important parts of my life!You’ll hear the entire journey leading up to this year’s tournament: the late-night practices, the 25-pound weight cut, the broken sauna, the two dislocated arms, and yes… the back-to-back bicep tears (both arms!). It’s crazy. It’s painful. And I’d do it all over again.Because this isn’t just about wrestling, it’s about doing the thing that makes you feel alive. Whether that’s building funnels, writing books, or chasing down a long-lost passion from your youth… This episode is a reminder to stop waiting, stop playing it safe, and start living.Key Highlights: Why I wrestle every year (and how it impacts every part of my life) The brutal (and hilarious) reality of cutting 25 pounds in 5 days What two torn biceps taught me about pain, purpose, and joy How I used mindset to show up in Hawaii as a better husband and dad — even while suffering in silence Why the risk of getting hurt shouldn’t stop you from doing the thing you love This one’s not about marketing. It’s about meaning! If you’ve ever felt stuck, bored, or burned out, this episode might just be the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed.https://sellingonline.com/podcasthttps://clickfunnels.com/podcastSpecial thanks to our sponsors: NordVPN: EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/secrets Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

The Power of Pricing, Pamphlets & Polarization with Taylor Welch | #Marketing - Ep. 19

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I sit down with Taylor Welch, the founder of The Wealthy Consultant. Taylor has built and scaled multiple businesses, and in our conversation, we go deep into some of the unconventional strategies that have fueled his success!Taylor shares what he calls the Revolving Pricing Method, a pricing strategy that breaks away from the typical high-ticket model by combining an upfront onboarding fee with ongoing monthly payments - ensuring profitability while increasing client retention. If you've ever struggled with recurring revenue, this concept will change how you structure your offers.We also discuss why traditional book funnels are broken and how Taylor is leveraging pamphlets… I.E. small, hyper-specific digital products that quickly establish authority, create desire, and seamlessly lead to high-value offers. This "lost marketing strategy" dates back to the 1700’s, and Taylor reveals how he’s using it to drive massive engagement and sales.Lastly, we dive into his YouTube strategy, which has exploded in the past year. Taylor explains how incorporating faith, business, and money into a single content ecosystem has helped him create deeper connections, drive engagement, and dominate the algorithm. We also talk about why controversy and polarization are essential for building an audience that’s not just engaged, but obsessed!Key Highlights: The Revolving Pricing Method: How to make time itself a profit center you Why most book funnels fail and how pamphlets are creating better conversions The psychology of pricing: How small tweaks can significantly impact retention How controversy fuels audience growth (and why avoiding it keeps you invisible) Taylor’s YouTube strategy: How he went from slow growth to 30K+ new subscribers per month This episode is packed with game-changing insights you won’t want to miss.

Waiting for the Radical to Arrive: Day with Dan Kennedy (1 of 4) | #Marketing - Ep. 15

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I’m bringing you something super special - the first of a four-part series featuring Dan Kennedy from our Day with Dan at Funnel Hacking Live 10 ‘The Last Dance’. If you’ve ever felt like your business is different, that the usual marketing strategies don’t apply to you, or that breaking into a market is harder than it should be, this episode is going to shift your perspective.Dan and I dive into the biggest mistake entrepreneurs make: believing their business is unique when it comes to marketing and sales. The truth? All businesses follow the same core structure… Attracting customers, converting them into buyers, and maximizing revenue. Those who succeed are the ones who understand this and leverage it to their advantage.Key Highlights: Why the belief that "my business is different" is killing your success How every industry has hidden power structures, and why breaking the rules is the key to market disruption The fundamental marketing principle that applies to every business, no matter the niche Why most entrepreneurs fail to recognize how Vegas and Disney extract maximum dollars per customer (and how you can apply the same strategies) The real way to define your business (hint: it’s NOT the product or service you sell) Most people look at the surface of a market, but the real opportunity is underneath - in the unspoken rules, outdated structures, and unsatisfied customers waiting for something better. In this episode, you’re getting some real gold nuggets from Day with Day as he breaks down how to spot those opportunities and position yourself as the disruptor who rewrites the game.You can’t afford to miss this episode… and the next ones coming soon! https://sellingonline.com/podcasthttps://clickfunnels.com/podcasthttps://www.nobsletter.comSpecial thanks to our sponsors: NordVPN: EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/secrets Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

If you’ve ever wondered why you keep repeating the same mistakes, struggle to take action, or feel trapped in a cycle, this episode will completely rewire the way you think about success.At the heart of all personal and business growth is one critical element: pattern interrupts. The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t isn’t intelligence, talent, or resources… It’s their ability to recognize, break, and rebuild patterns. It doesn’t matter if it’s business, marketing, relationships, sales, health, or leadership, success is about identifying the subconscious loops that keep you stuck and replacing them with patterns that drive results.Key Highlights: The hidden force controlling your actions and why most people never break free How your subconscious mind runs 27,500x faster than your conscious mind (and what that means for success) The 3-step framework for recognizing and interrupting patterns that hold you back Why most entrepreneurs struggle with execution - and how to fix it immediately How to reprogram your responses to failure, fear, and frustration so they fuel growth instead of stopping you The single biggest mistake people make when trying to change their habits Most people try to work harder when they hit a wall. The truth? Hard work without the right pattern is just reinforcing failure faster. The real key is understanding the space between stimulus and response… That tiny moment where you have the power to choose a different action and reprogram success into your subconscious.This isn’t just another mindset episode!  This is the key that unlocks everything in all aspects of your life.
