πŸš€ Inside the Momentum Weekend Workshop: New Sessions & Strategies


Hey Reader!

I hope you're having a great week! After the last email I sent, I received a lot of great questions about Momentum itself:

  • "What days are you covering what?"
  • "Who else is speaking?"
  • "What's actually going to be different this year?"
  • β€œWhat makes Momentum different from every other event?”

So today, I wanted to pull back the curtain a little and share more about what we’re building for this October in Walt Disney World...

I think this is going to be our best Momentum yet!

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🌟 Thursday - Kickoff Night

We kick things off Thursday evening with an opening session designed to get you in the right headspace, connect with your fellow attendees, and set the tone for the weekend ahead. This isn't just a welcome reception... it's where the energy and networking begins.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

πŸ“Š Friday is About Foundation & Growth

Friday is about building the foundation for everything that follows. Here's what's on tap:

  • I'll kick off the morning with some lessons to set the stage for the weekend
  • Former Walt Disney World Ambassador Michael Collier will start the day!
  • Joe Casabona will teach practical and immediately applicable on solopreneur systems & automation
  • Melissa and Paul Pruitt will teach practical and tactical lessons on organic and paid marketing
  • Katie Fawkes on leveraging video for your brand
  • Table Talks: small group, focused conversations where YOUR specific questions and challenges get real airtime
  • Lunch & networking with your fellow attendees
  • and more (stay tuned!)

Friday is where the weekend shifts from inspiration to implementation.

πŸ€– Saturday is Focused on AI

Everyone knows AI is important... but almost no one feels like they actually know how to use it in their REAL business. Saturday fixes that.

That’s why, instead of sprinkling AI tips across different sessions all weekend, I’m dedicating MOST of Saturday entirely to it... with multiple experts each going deep into a specific area of your business and workflow.

Because this isn’t about theory. It’s about implementation.

Jeff Sieh will show you how to use AI for visual content and creative workflows. Paul Gowder will walk you through building email campaigns and building community with AI, the way he actually does it. Lisa DiNoto will cover the tools and workflows for using AI without losing your voice that you can start using immediately.

This isn’t β€œwatch someone talk about AI for an hour.”

You’ll leave with:

  • βœ… Tools already installed and organized
  • βœ… Workflow you've already started building
  • βœ… Prompts and systems you can actually use
  • βœ… A clearer understanding of how AI can save time, reduce overwhelm, and help grow your business

There are even more Saturday sessions and speakers coming soon - stay tuned!

πŸ’° Sunday is All About Monetization... and What's Next for YOU!

The thing most holding creators back isn't knowledge... it's a clear, personalized revenue plan.

So Sunday is dedicated entirely to that. We're going to work through:

  • How to build offers people will actually pay for, and how to price them without guessing
  • A step-by-step plan you can start executing the Monday after you get home
  • Workbook exercises, lessons, and templates
  • A monetization roadmap for your speaking, services, or creator brand... built in the room, for you

After more than 20 years of building my business, brands, podcast, events, products, partnerships, communities, and revenue streams, I can tell you that most people don’t need MORE ideas - They need a monetization plan that actually fits THEM.

So Sunday is dedicated entirely to building that.

Together, we’re going to work through:

  • βœ… Creating offers people actually want to buy
  • βœ… Pricing your products and services with confidence
  • βœ… Identifying the best revenue streams for YOUR business
  • βœ… Turning your expertise, content, audience, or experience into income
  • βœ… Building a roadmap you can start implementing the Monday after you get home

We'll also create Your 90-Day Action Plan: built in the room, for you, so you leave with a clear next step (not just notes), and have our traditional Campfire Conversation (an open, honest discussion about the journey, the hard parts, and what's actually working), and get your questions answered before you head home ready to execute!

πŸ” Want to Learn More?

Curious about what Momentum is really like? You can check out full event details, topic areas we will cover in presentations and workshops, photos, speaker recaps, and highlights from past years... and see what makes this experience so valuable (and unlike anything else).

I’ll be announcing more speakers, sessions, workshops, and special experiences very soon... but honestly, some of the most valuable moments at Momentum happen BETWEEN the sessions - the conversations, collaborations, friendships, breakthroughs, and reminders that you’re not alone in this journey.

There is no substitute for being in the room, in person, with other smart, like-minded, and inspired entrepreneurs.

Hey Reader! You can know exactly what to do with AI, video, email, monetization, systems... And still stay stuck in your business. Here's what I've learned after years of working with creators and solopreneurs: most people don't need more information. They need to believe in the information they already have. We second-guess the next move, we play small, we watch other people execute on the same idea we had six months ago, and wonder what they had that we didn't. That's why my Momentum...

Hello Reader, My birthday has never really been a big deal to me. It never has been. It's not about the day, or the attention, or the presents. It's not even about the cake... and if you know me, you know I'm not a sweets guy anyway. But there's one version of a birthday I've always loved, and it came from my dad. Every year on his birthday, my dad did something I've never forgotten: he gave gifts to everyone else. I can still picture us walking into Fortunoff at the Woodbridge Center Mall in...

Your Guide to Disney Parks & Experiences Hello Reader, My birthday is today (August 2), and if you've known me for a while, you know it's never really been a big deal to me. To me, it's just another day, and it's definitely not about any attention or presents. It's not even about the cake... and once again... if you know me, you know I'm "not a sweets guy" anyway. But there's one version of a birthday I've always loved, and it came from my dad. Every year on his birthday, my dad did something...
