Words of Wisdom
{Being visible} "Yes it's uncomfortable but what are you doing if you're not doing it?...do you want to feel safer that you're not letting your soul and your passion out because someone might say something...one of your friends might say something? It's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't. If you do, then yes they might say something but 3 more people might start following you and resonate with what you say "

What is MemberVault and how can it help you build your list, convert more clients and create courses, optins and memberships?  
The Co-Founder of MemberVault Mike Kelly joins me to talk about how entrepreneurs can make their life easier - yes purlease!
Totes embarrassing - I tried so hard not to go all #fangirl but had a little trip over my words moment right at the beginning 🙈
Here's what we talk about in this interview: 

How MemberVault started
The thinking behind making their platform free for all accounts with less than 50 registered members
Why people should be able to 'self-control' their user experience
The ickiness of sales funnels and how MemberVault support a more empowering user experience
Mike and Erin's (Mike's wife and co-founder of MV) core values
How Mike and Erin balance parenting, marriage and business
How Mike looks after himself when things get stressful  

Key Takeaway 
Always think about the experience of your customer and keep things simple and accessible.  
Words of Wisdom 
Referring to creating and selling online courses: "We saw this as a big gap...I'm like wow, OK so you build an audience...you have an audience, and you have digital services or products, how do you connect the two? And that was the big question mark. At the time, and it's still happening now, it's about get them to sign up for something and spam them with funnel pages until they either go through it or unsubscribe - spam til they bail. That's what many experts were telling people to do and we just always hated that. We felt that's gross, there's a better way to do this".
