  • AI Might Destroy The Wisdom Industry. Why Aren’t These Entrepreneurs Worried?
    Apr 1 2025

    You might have heard the rumors…

    “Course creators and coaches are done. I mean… why pay an expert when you can just prompt an AI to become one?”

    I’ve heard them too… but what I saw last week inside my mastermind group told a very different story.

    Yes, it’s true – AI just changed the game (again). And the “mediocre” bar just got raised (again)...

    But that isn’t the problem...

    The real question entrepreneurs need to be asking is – what do we do now?

    Since this was such a big topic in our mastermind meeting… and is likely to impact most – if not all – businesses, Chris, Dan, and I decided to explore it in this week’s episode of Dare to Launch.

    You’ll get a peek at what some of the smartest people I know are saying about AI right now… and the moves they’re making to stay ahead of the curve, including:

    • The one AI tool that can replace 10+ platforms – and how one mastermind member used it to create a complete client portal, CRM, course delivery system, and more… without writing a line of code

    • Why we believe that AI is STILL one of the biggest opportunities we’ve ever seen (It might seem like we’ve been talking about AI forever… but this is just the beginning.)

    • The AI threat some course creators are overlooking – and how to survive it

    • How to infuse your offers with the one thing AI can’t do (in a world where every business is AI-powered, this could be your key to standing out)

    • How even “I’m not good with tech” folks can get great results from AI – for themselves and their clients

    • What a 90mph baseball pitch can teach you about dealing with uncertainty – and why 8-figure business owners are using this mindset to stay ahead of the AI curve

    … and much more.

  • Why Most Masterminds Fail (And How To Find A Great One)
    Mar 25 2025

    I recently hosted my 43rd in-person mastermind meeting. But before I headed out – and while I was amped up – I wanted to dig into something big…

    Why most masterminds fail.

    People join masterminds expecting game-changing insights, powerful connections, and real business growth… but the reality is that most groups fizzle out in a year or two.

    Why?

    A big reason is that they get a critical thing wrong – and it ruins everything. And I should know – I came *this* close to making this mistake myself when I started mine!

    I’ve talked about my Plat Plus mastermind before. It’s a space where some of the world’s top entrepreneurs share their biggest wins, struggles, and strategies. But I haven’t really talked about what happens behind the scenes…

    Until now…

    In this week’s episode of Dare to Launch, Chris, Dan, and I open my mastermind door a little wider… sharing some of the secrets that have made it so successful for the past 15 years (with a 92%+ renewal rate). We get into:

    • The mastermind mistake that can ruin everything – and why most people don’t try to fix it until it’s too late

    • The question I ask before letting anyone into my mastermind (ask this if you want more long-standing, high-performing members)

    • The “look through the corners” mindset. Feeling stuck? This simple shift will get you moving through any problem or obstacle

    • The secret to running a high-level mastermind… even if you’ve never done it before.

    • What most people get wrong about business challenges – and why “avoiding obstacles” could be holding you back.

    • Plus – a behind-the-scenes look at how I run my mastermind – hard-earned experience from hosting 40+ in-person meetings since 2010.

    … and more.

    If you’ve ever thought about joining a mastermind (or even starting one), this is a “don’t miss” episode.

  • How Wealthy People Manage Money (It’s Easier Than You Think)
    Mar 18 2025

    What if you had the perfect employee – someone who worked tirelessly for you 24/7 and never took any sick days or vacations?

    According to my good friend Mel Abraham, you already do… you just might not realize it.

    That “employee” is your money. But here’s the problem – most entrepreneurs don’t give this employee a job – they let it sit in a bank account, doing nothing.

    In this clip from Dare to Launch, Mel outlines a simple system that could change the way you think about money. He reveals:

    • Why every dollar you earn needs a “job” (and the best time to assign it)

    • The secret to guilt-free spending (so you can truly enjoy your money)

    • What “Leapfrog Funding” is – and why it’s a game-changer for launch launch-based businesses

    • How to avoid being “rich in the bank”... but bankrupt in life

    • How to identify your Sustainable Joy Points (and how to fund them!)

    • Why saying “I want” keeps you stuck… and what to say instead

    … and more!

    If you’re ready to put your money to work, so you can really enjoy your success, this is a must-see clip.

  • Your Morning Routines Isn’t The Problem (But This Might Be!) - DTL #42
    Mar 11 2025

    You can have all the ingredients of a perfect morning routine… and still feel like you’re getting nowhere.

    Here’s why…

    When morning routines fail, it isn’t usually because you journaled before you did your ice plunge… or haven’t found the right habit… or don’t have enough willpower or discipline...

    It’s probably because you’ve fallen into one of the hidden “traps” that keep you stuck.

    So in this week’s episode of Date to Launch, Chris, Dan and I are revealing these traps… and how to avoid them. You’ll discover:

    • Why you should stop “shoulding” on yourself (and what you should do instead)

    • It’s not the habits, but the moments between them that are sabotaging your success

    • The fastest way to get back on track when you fall out of your routine (I’ll show you what I do)

    • Why less is often more – how subtraction can help unlock new levels of creativity and productivity

    • Tips to make your morning routine inevitable (so you don’t need to rely on willpower or motivation)

    … and much more.

    If you’ve ever wondered why you seem to be doing everything right but you’re still struggling, you might be caught in one of these traps.

    It’s time to break free…

  • The Truth About Morning Routines DTL #41
    Mar 4 2025

    Many folks talk about morning routines like they’re the key to success.

    But what if that’s not actually true? Even worse…

    What if your morning routine is actually holding you back?

    In this episode of Dare to Launch, Chris, Dan, and I take a look at the real impact of morning routines on entrepreneurs – so you can see if yours is powering your success… or just another distraction.

    My morning routine has been through a lot of changes over the past 15 years – from meditation to journaling… to yoga and tapping. It’s given me a good insight into what works… and what doesn’t.

    And maybe more controversially… when you shouldn’t have a morning routine at all.

    We also get into:

    • The simple “test” that tells you if your morning routine is helping you… or holding you back

    • Why I deliberately chose not have a morning routine when I started out (and what I did instead)

    • The morning myth that keeps even top entrepreneurs stuck… no matter how much they work

    • A common productivity mistake that drains your willpower before noon

    • The “start from scratch” morning routine I would follow if I lost everything tomorrow

    • How I get a daily shot of wisdom from books I read years ago (without turning a single page)

    • The one rule that keeps me laser-focused (even on chaotic days)

    • The simple tweak that helps switch my brain into “deep and creative” mode every morning

    … and much more.

    If you’ve ever questioned whether morning routines really make a difference – or want to design one that helps you unlock your creative spark and inner genius – you need to hear this.

  • Tai Lopez’s Secret to Grabbing Attention (That Still Works!)
    Feb 25 2025

    In 2016, Tai Lopez made a video that didn’t just go viral – it changed the gme.

    It took a fresh approach, and it caught the entire marketing world off guard.

    In this clip from Dare to Launch, Dylan Frost (who’s studied virality like almost no one I know) breaks down the big lessons we can take away from it… even in 2025.

    It’s a mini-masterclass on seizing your audience’s attention and staying one step ahead of the competition (and if you remember the ad, don’t worry – it’s nothing to do with flashy cars or bookshelves!).

  • Create Your Own Economy – Taking Control of Your Narrative (and Your Success) #40
    Feb 18 2025

    Sometimes, it feels like the news, social media, and outside events are working overtime, trying to pull us into a storm of negativity. But here’s one of the most important things I’ve learned as an entrepreneur – I don’t have to participate.

    We don’t have to react to the storm. We have the entrepreneurial advantage – we can create our own reality.

    That’s why in this week’s episode of Dare to Launch, Chris, Dan, and I explore mindset shifts and strategies you can use to control your narrative, turn challenges into opportunities, and thrive… regardless of what’s going on in the world.

    Here’s what we cover:

    • The ultimate superpower entrepreneurs have that traditional jobs don’t

    • Why big-picture crises don’t actually affect your business as much as you think (and often present big opportunities)

    • The simple trick I use to stop social media from draining my energy

    • What decades of meditation have taught me about success as an entrepreneur

    • The five-word mantra I’ve used to thrive through every economic storm – from the dot-com crash to the pandemic

    … and much more!

    You don’t have to be at the mercy of outside forces. This episode will show you how to take back control, turn chaos into clarity, and create your own momentum.

  • Turning Your Passion Into an Impact-Driven Business - DTL Clip #15
    Feb 11 2025

    How far would you go to follow your calling?

    For Thembi Bheka, the answer was “the other side of the world.” She left the comfort of Canada to return to Zimbabwe with one mission – to help women escape poverty and abusive relationships by giving them the tools to achieve financial independence and transform their lives.

    Her story is raw, inspiring, and a powerful testament to how one person’s purpose can fuel incredible change.

    In this week’s clip from Dare to Launch, Thembi opens up about how she found her purpose and overcame incredible challenges to create life-changing opportunities – for herself and others.
