This is part one of a three-part series. All three episodes are live now — listen in order. There are three reasons funnels don't get finished. Claire starts with the one she hears most — the one people say out loud, right before they say "I'll get to it next month."

Claire's back on the mic solo — no guest, no script, just real talk about what's actually been happening this summer. She's been running a very specific marketing experiment for the last 10 weeks that she hasn't been talking about publicly. In this episode, she finally opens up about it — what she's testing, what she's learning, and the emotional ride of doing something week after week without knowing if it's going to work. AND — she has an announcement she's dropping here on the podcast before she tells her list. It's brand new, it has a hard 20-seat cap, and if you're listening in real...

Back in Part 1, Jason Zook left us on a cliffhanger — week one of vibe coding his first app felt like "we're going to be millionaires this year," week two was "this is hell." This week, Jason picks up exactly where we left off and walks Claire through everything that happened next: the rescue that came from inside his old Wandering Aimfully community, the pricing experiment Claude mapped in fifteen minutes, the first launch that taught him the hard math of credit-based products, and the pivot to a second app that did over 3X the revenue in the same window. Plus: Jason gets honest about the...

Cathy Mazak just had the biggest launch of her career — $96,000 in two weeks, with 75 students enrolled. But until then, she had been stuck. Same email list. Same launches. Same program. The same 20-to-25 enrollments every time. Whatever you sell, if you've ever felt that flatline-launch frustration where the math just won't math, this episode is for you. In this conversation, Cathy walks Claire through exactly what she changed — the offer restructure (she changed the length of her program), the pricing experiment), the lead gen play that worked, and the mindset shift she now says was the...

Jason Zook and his wife Caroline spent eight years building Wandering Aimfully into a coaching program doing over $30,000 a month in recurring revenue. Then they shut it down — on purpose — at the peak. In Part 1 of this conversation, Jason walks Claire through how he and Caroline started working together (it involves lion makeup), the pricing shift that took them from $5K to $30K a month, the "enough number" exercise that's been guiding their business for years, an important apology, and the decision to close it all. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Stay tuned for Part 2, where...

Claire met Ellen Yin at a conference last year — and despite Ellen's podcast Cubicle to CEO crossing over a million downloads, Claire had never heard of her. Months later, Claire stumbled onto one of Ellen's offers on Instagram and bought it without thinking twice. “Take my money,” she said! In this episode, Ellen shares how she built Cubicle to CEO into a media company, the brand partnership structure that has her landing campaigns with Fortune 500 names like Uber and Amazon, and the bespoke offer she launched right before Black Friday that brought in 28 partners. This Week on the Get...

Claire just got back from Miami, where she sponsored Dielle Charon’'s Millionaires of Color conference for the first time — and she's sharing the WHOLE story. The stress spiral, the question she asked Dielle that completely changed how she showed up, and the unexpected moment that made every dollar worth it. Plus: her best tips for getting an actual ROI out of any in-person event — whether you're a sponsor, going solo, or still on the fence about live events. This Week on the Get Paid Podcast: Why Claire said "I'm never doing this again" at least three times before she even got to the...

Vix Meldrew is one of those people who has actually lived multiple internet lives — and somehow turned all of it into a business that sells memberships and group programs at scale. In this episode, Vix breaks down how she went from being a sex + dating blogger (while teaching primary school!) to building a membership with hundreds of members… and then making the decision to close it when Reels changed everything. We talk audience growth, offer evolution, what happened during a launch that started as a total flop (two sales on day one) and how she turned it around, and the real...
