If I had to name ONE THING that increased my sales more than anything else in the past year...
It'd be learning to polish my copywriting and pre-launch my offerings with Nicole Cloutier and her class Open Loop.
Open Loop is how I doubled Interweb sign-ups in 2026.
Open Loop is how I made over $10k on COME TO CLASS last month.
Open Loop is why I feel so confident selling this year.
And that's why I'm THRILLED to share that Open Loop is happening again in July and you can hop on the waitlist right here right now!
So if you'd like to make more money from your launches in 2026 and beyond...
Tune in to this 'best of' episode to hear me and Nicole give you lots of free advice on how to launch anything you want to sell online.

Today Natalie joins me to talk about why social media managers burn out so hard. And how their business when changed they let go of most of their retainer clients.
Together we explore:
The consequences of social media dependence
A step-by-step breakdown of how Natalie reinvented their marketing strategy
What it actually means to take an ecosystems approach to business
Creative ecosystems vs personal brands
A random Lord of the Rings metaphor that I spend way too long making….
