284. My Best Kept Secret That Feeds My Content, Testimonials, and $500k Launches

Automation is great — until it makes people forget there's a real human behind your business. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the tool I've been quietly using to generate content ideas, boost webinar show-up rates, and collect testimonials, all while making my audience feel personally connected to me. It contributed to a $500K launch, and I'm walking you through exactly how I use it for content, sales, and social proof.

In this episode, you'll hear…

• What VideoAsk actually is and why it's more like FaceTiming your audience than filling out a form
• How I'm using it to generate content ideas directly from my audience (in their own words)
• The exact funnel I built to improve webinar show-up rates and make my workshop better in real time
• How I'm collecting video testimonials that I can use in ads, social content, and more
• Why building in "surprise and delight" moments is one of the highest-return investments you can make in your marketing
