The Identity Shift That Unlocks Consistent $100K Months
Most people think scaling to $100K months is about better ads, more traffic, or a shinier funnel. But after working with thousands of coaches and course creators, I can tell you—it’s not just strategy. It’s identity. In this solo episode of the Expert Edge, I walk you through the five powerful inner shifts that I had to make (and that my most successful students also made) to step into consistent $100K months. You’ll learn: Why your beliefs are often your biggest bottleneck—and how to change them. How your environment silently reinforces your income ceiling. What high-level entrepreneurs focus on that most people ignore completely. The mindset shift that separates “busy” entrepreneurs from wildly profitable ones. Why clarity on who you are is more valuable than any marketing hack. If you’re feeling stuck at your current income level and sense that it’s not about the tactics, this episode will meet you where you’re at—and show you what’s actually required to go to the next level.

My 5 Favorite Ways to Use AI As A Coach And Course Creator
If it ever feels like you’re doing 17 different jobs just to run your business… you probably are. And here’s the truth: most of those jobs can (and should) be automated with AI. In this episode of the Expert Edge, I’m sharing the 5 most effective ways I’m using AI right now in my coaching business. These aren’t theories or tools I “might try someday”—this is what’s actually working today to save time, generate content faster, and keep me focused on the stuff that really moves the needle. Here’s what I break down in this episode: How I use AI to plan and build coaching programs faster (and with more clarity) The tool that turns my voice into a week’s worth of content The prompt framework I personally use to get better results from ChatGPT How I’m creating visuals, slides, and marketing assets in minutes—not hours Why my emails and sales pages still sound like me (even when AI writes the first draft) If you’ve been watching AI from the sidelines or you’ve dabbled but haven’t gone all in, this episode will help you finally put it to work in a way that feels natural (and actually fun).
