    Inside the Experience: Lessons and Takeaways From Jeff Walker’s Latest Live Events

    What happens when you put 30 brilliant business people in the same room? Or make that 100+ amazing business owners at an event?
    You get seriously inspired – and pick up some of the latest launch strategies and tactics  – that’s what!
    Co-hosts Jeff Walker and Chris Saunders are joined by Dan Walker to talk about their biggest  takeaways from Jeff’s most recent events: Platinum Plus Mastermind, Launch Club Mastermind, and LCx.
    You’ll learn about mindset, AI, “good marketing,” and a harsh truth about being a leader. They’ll share the most common mistakes business owners tend to make in their launches, courses, and sales pages.
    You’ll also hear:
    What happens at high-end mastermind meetings (Jeff walks you through how he structures his meetings, including why he NEVER has any content in the first session) How creating a little “friendly competition” amongst your customers can deliver you a ton of social proof How one member of Jeff’s mastermind DOUBLED her launch… by delivering LESS content Why none of the folks in Jeff’s masterminds are worried about AI killing their businesses The most common problems Dan spotted during a copywriting workshop… and how to fix them How eliminating friction points and creating “level 10” experiences can help you build an audience of raving fans What feeling nervous and anxious before you step on stage really means… and how to take action regardless of how you feel How Jeff closed his big event on a “high note” (this was easily the most terrifying thing he’s ever done live on stage) … and more.

    Launchy AI - Your Unfair Advantage in Business

    Launchy AI - Your Unfair Advantage in Business

    There’s no doubt about it… 2023 has been the year of AI. But with hundreds – maybe even thousands – of tools like ChatGPT and dozens of specialized copycats all claiming to be the next big thing in business, which one is really going to move the needle for launch-focused entrepreneurs?
    How about one trained in Product Launch Formula® by Jeff Walker?
    On this week’s episode, get ready to discover the power of Launchy.ai™ with Chris Saunders, Jeff Walker, Jonny Armandary, and Alison Vidotto. Launchy is the world’s first – and only – AI tool trained in the power of Product Launch Formula.
    Listen in for a behind-the-scenes look at how the team created this game-changing AI, and how to use any AI tool to your advantage.
    Also on this week’s show:
    Chris, Jeff, Jonny, and Alison, discussing their experience with Launchy.ai over the last few months… and how they’re using it to map out launches in minutes, as opposed to days. Jeff discusses the transformative impact of AI in entrepreneurship and online business. How do you “train” an AI tool in Product Launch Formula? Jonny explains how Launchy.ai was developed… and how it was trained to think like Jeff. Alison shares her first impressions of Launchy.ai, and its advantages over other AI tools like ChatGPT. The discussion turns to the practical applications of Launchy.ai in business decision-making and overcoming creative blocks. How to use Launchy, or any AI tool to boost your creativity and productivity…without sapping your willpower. Jeff delves into the core problems entrepreneurs face… and how Launchy.ai addresses these challenges directly and easily. Alison discusses how she uses Launchy.ai to refine her business model and validate her strategies through community engagement. (She also explains how she uses Launchy in non-business areas of her life, like coming up with convenient Italian-themed dad jokes.) How to turn AI tools like Launchy into virtual brainstorming partners, making the creative aspects of the business flow more easily. The panel explores future developments of Launchy.ai and its potential to evolve beyond current capabilities. The episode concludes with a lighthearted "taco break," where the hosts creatively use Launchy.ai to generate taco-themed business ideas. … and much more!

    Cracking the Copywriting Code – Words That Create Action

    Being able to generate thousands of dollars in sales, just by typing a few words on a laptop is as close to having magic powers as it gets.
    So let’s talk copywriting…
    Lots of folks are intimidated by copywriting. But the truth is, whether it’s an email, social post, or YouTube video… EVERYTHING you create for your business is “copy”. That’s what makes copywriting the most must-have, master skill of them all. And why you can’t afford to ignore it.
    Co-hosts Jeff Walker and Chris Saunders are joined by members of Jeff’s team Justin Livingston and Dan Walker (Jeff’s son!) to discuss the role copy plays in your business, critical copywriting resources you can leverage, and the role of promises, as well as some of the pitfalls to beware.

    How to take your copy skills to a whole new level… by answering just 3 simple questions Where the world’s best copywriters go for ideas when starting a new promotion (do this and you’ll never have to face the blank page again) Why copywriting will always be a highly valued and in-demand skill… no matter how advanced ChatGPT or AI becomes The ONE thing you need to know before sitting down to write ANY copy Why – despite having several seven and eight-figure students – I’ve NEVER published a case study of a million-dollar launch (and I don’t think I ever will) The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when hiring a copywriter (plus – the simple test non-copywriters can do that shows them whether copy is good or bad) Why smaller promises often generate more sales PLUS – Where you can download my brand-new “8 Rules for Copywriting” guide… for free … and much more.

Episode 5 - Very Good

Always weary of internet marketing stuff from American "guru's" as in my opinion alot of what they say and sell is fluff and not real life actionable stuff (a bit like most americans to be honest...alot of huff and not much puff). BUT...

I must say I listened to Jeff's podcasts I found it interesting, it did have the normal fluff as I talked about, however I really liked episode 5 because it took you behind his own luanch and talked about how it is setup and how it works. I think this is extremely useful information for others in terms of how they should think about setting up thier own launch. Episode 5 is the difference between using information to help you in your own business versus "fluff" that doesnt directly add value to your own business (the thing that most american guru's like to call "training", dont get me wrong some of it is good stuff in terms of the mental side of you being on your game, but most of it is just not actionable will help you in your business stuff).

Anyway I dont ever write reviews but felt compelled to right this review based on episode 5 so good stuff Mr Walker, but please keep it up with that type of content!

Terrible

The worst podcast I have ever listened to. Gave up after episode 3. All 3 episodes I listened to were the same. Same antidotes over and over again.

Scott The Writing Guy ,

Jeff Walks the Talk

I've followed Jeff for several years and he is The Real Deal when it comes to online product launches. He wrote the book, printed the T-shirt and directed the play. I look forward to meeting him this October at his LaunchCon conference in Dallas.
