Enjoy some quality time as host Mike Kim chats with Brenna McGowan. Brenna's a strategic copywriter, marketing consultant, and launch pro who helps businesses of all sizes warm up customers until they're fiery hot and ready to buy, with her Pre-Launch Plan Process™. By leveraging her pre-launch strategies, Brenna's clients have seen 50%+ revenue growth in their launches without the frenzy and chaos they used to feel when launching. She also helps her students inside The Pre-Launch Plan Program create strategic pre-launch plans that've raked in hundreds of thousands in revenue and called in more perfect-fit buyers. Brenna believes that hustle-based, high-pressure program launches don't serve you or your customers. Instead, she helps you leverage pre-launch content to show your customers empathy, authority, and personality—so you can sell spots in your program before the doors even open. When Brenna's not strategizing or helping clients launch, you can find her walking her pug Frank, practicing yoga, reading cheesy romance books, or shuttling one of her three teenagers around their Northern California neighborhood. So, power up and listen in. Mike & Brenna will discuss: Why it's vital to have a pre-launch strategy How AI can help. Why high-pressure launch tactics don't work How story-telling and talking about your process make for effective launches The benefits of using events and webinars to create momentum. How emails and being visible create audience trust. How to manage expectations and energy during a launch. Let's do launch! Tune in to this week's episode.

Let's see how many of you remember this "ancient" movie reference to the potential perils of AI (Artificial Intelligence): "Open the pod-bay door, HAL" "Sorry, Dave, but I can't do that" Whether or not you got the reference, there's definitely a lot of buzz about AI. Is it a potential ally? Will it be society's downfall? This week, Mike will share his thoughts and insights on recent trends in AI, especially ChatGPT. He'll discuss: What ChatGPT can do pretty darn well, and what it can't do so well. How we often perceive (and misperceive) technological advances. Five ways we can make AI and other technological advances work for us, rather than against us. Why we must be our own best catalyst. Why it's becoming vital that we share our values. Whatever your present feelings about AI, you'll find comfort and strength in Mike's wisdom.

Please Read: Affirmations have been a huge part of my growth this past year and I thought it would be appropriate to publish the actual track I listen to every morning and evening. While my background is in writing, I've always found it difficult to write my own affirmations. I've collected several from a few books I've been reading, the most significant of which has been Quantum Success by Sandra Anne Taylor. This book contains several affirmations at the end of each chapter, so I recorded them and created my own affirmation track. If you'd like the transcript I wrote for this episode, visit the show notes page here: mikekim.com/yatb360. I left this track without music or other normal pre-rolls, so that you can listen to your own music in the background and not be distracted by other audio segments. Happy New Year, and may 2023 be your best year ever.
