The Shift Show
In this episode of The Shift Show, I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the most important decisions Dan and I have ever made in our business: hiring our Head of Systems and true number two, Katy Widrick.

If you’ve been telling yourself “my audience is quiet… I must be f*cked,” this episode is your wake-up call. Nicole and Dan are pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest misconceptions floating around in 2025: the belief that slow sales are caused by external forces — the economy, December, the algorithm, audience size, insert-excuse-here. In this raw, cozy, couch-recorded episode, they break down: ✨ Why a ‘quiet audience’ isn’t a sign to panic — it’s a sign to fix your messaging ✨ The 3B Problem (boring, bland, or buried) that’s killing your conversions ✨...

Most CEOs think they have a “front-end” problem… but the truth is, the biggest revenue leaps come from what no one sees. In this episode, Nicole and Dan break down the Invisible Funnel—the backend engine that helped them hit 37 straight months of six-figure revenue. You’ll hear how they went from $100 days to $100K months, why most funnels are built for slow buyers, and the backend moves that make scaling to 100K+ not just possible, but predictable. To get the private training on this, DM Nicole the word invisible.
