The Genius Behind Dan Martell’s Social Success | Meet Sam Gaudet
Chris Dufey Podcast
Most people think views equal success. They don’t. In this conversation, Sam Gaudet and Chris Dufey break down what actually matters if you want content to turn into revenue, not just attention. If your content is not creating clients, it is not building a business. It is just entertainment.

The Life “Dials” Framework That Saved My Marriage, Health and Business
Chris Dufey Podcast
Work with me: https://jointherainmakers.com/choosetime?utm_src=organicyoutube Get your free demo: https://jointherainmakers.com/demo?utm_src=organicyoutube ------- At 3:02AM, I woke up with a question that refused to let go: “What do I actually want from my life?” Not the “Instagram answer.” Not the “entrepreneur answer.” Not the “be a good husband, father, provider” answer. The real one. At 37, I found myself replaying every decision, every success, every sacrifice… wondering how I got here and whether the direction I was sprinting toward was even the right one anymore....

$1 Million Run Rate. 63 Days. Here’s How.
Chris Dufey Podcast
Most people think scaling means more. More offers. More funnels. More hires. More chaos. That’s the lie. In this video, I break down exactly how I hit a $1M run rate in 63 days with no team, no paid ads, no fancy launch, and why doing less is what finally worked. This came right after I sold my last multi–seven-figure business. I was burnt out. Overbuilt. Drowning in complexity. So I made one promise to myself: This one has to feel light. No 15-person team. No bloated Slack channels. No pretending I love to grind. Just a clean system that prints cash without running my life. Here’s what...

The Biggest Mistake I Made Chasing "Financial Freedom"
Chris Dufey Podcast
Most people say they want financial freedom. Very few ever define what that actually means. And that’s where everything goes wrong. This video isn’t about getting rich. It’s about getting free. For real. I’m sharing this because I’ve lived both sides. Sleeping on a couch. My wife pregnant with our first child. Halfway across the world in Dubai. Selling everything I owned with one question looping in my head: ”Can I actually give them the life they deserve?” I was trapped in time-for-money. Burnt out. Chasing cash thinking it would fix how I felt inside. It didn’t. What changed...

The Conversation Most Men Won’t Have | Sharran Srivatsaa & Chris Dufey
Chris Dufey Podcast
Most people think money fixes everything. It doesn’t. It just exposes what you never defined in the first place. My recent conversation with Sharran Srivatsaa (Acquisition.com President) starts with a quiet tension: building something big while trying not to lose the people who matter most. Fatherhood. Money. Ambition. Guilt. All colliding at once. The truth is this: More income without a framework doesn’t buy freedom. It buys anxiety with better branding. In this episode, we go deep on what actually works: • Why freezing your lifestyle is the real cheat code • The exact definition of...

Every Funnel I Tried Failed… Except This One
Chris Dufey Podcast
Most funnels don’t fail quietly. They drain your time. Your energy. And your belief that this shit can actually work. So I tested every (yes, every) funnel so you don’t have to. VSLs. Webinars. Challenges. Tripwires. Quiz funnels. DM scripts. All of it. It took me nine months, and more money than I care to admit. And here’s the truth no one wants to say out loud: Most funnels suck. Unless you’re already internet famous… Have a massive following… Or host a podcast with Tim Ferriss… Almost any funnel can work. But what about the rest of us? What if you’re just a damn good coach...

Successful People REFUSE To Talk About This
Chris Dufey Podcast
Most entrepreneurs claim they're building their business for their family, but their calendar tells another story. In this video, I share how I built a “successful” business on paper. Revenue was climbing, Stripe was pinging, everyone thought I was winning. But behind the scenes, I was overworked, disconnected from my wife and kids, and losing myself in the grind. Until I got a wake-up call I couldn’t ignore. This is the true story of how I simplified everything, leaned on systems, and built a business that no longer runs me—so I could scale without sacrifice. In this video: 00:00...
