THE most valuable funnel training you'll ever watch (He Spends $78 to Make $695) 05/22/2026

THE most valuable funnel training you'll ever watch (He Spends $78 to Make $695) My team builds you a $167K/month client machine in 8 weeks. You just approve it. Interested? → In this video, I'm taking you inside a private consulting session with one of our clients, breaking down his exact funnel, his real numbers, and the three highest-leverage moves that will take him from consistent to completely dialed in. -- Ok, quick intro if we haven't met. I'm Chris Dufey. I run The Rainmakers. We help coaches and consultants do $1M/yr working 2-4 hours a day. Couple years ago I was sleeping on a couch. Wife pregnant. Daughter on the way. She showed up on time. I did not. Fast forward — 4 kids, two houses (Bali + Australia), sold my last company. Now I get to be the guy behind the scenes of some of the best online businesses on the internet. And still do school pickup. Still surf on Tuesdays. Nothing glamorous about it. That's kinda the whole point. The speedrun of how I got here: 18 — Got into personal training. I was the fat kid. Wanted abs. Wanted girls to notice. Whatever, it worked. 21 — Ran a PT agency across Sydney gyms. 25 — Moved to Dubai. First kid. Discovered that new dads can survive on vibes and espresso alone. 27 — Moved to Bali to "start an online business." Translation: I had no idea what I was doing. 28 — Launched a supplement company. Blew it up. (Not proud. Not hiding it.) 29 — Accidentally became a business coach because PTs kept asking how I was living abroad. 31 — Founded Coaches Cartel — coaching + software + virtual teams for fitness pros. 34 — Became a dad of four. 10/10 do not recommend doing this and running a business simultaneously unless you like chaos. 35 — Sold the coaching business. Multi-7-figures. 36 — Started consulting 6/7/8-figure CEOs. $25K/month retainers. Weird flex but ok. 38 — Started The Rainmakers. Today — my team and I build the machines behind some of the best operators online. P.S. — talking to a camera all day gets old. Drop a comment. Ask me something. Disagree with me. Whatever. I actually read them. Instagram: Substack: Website: Website: /episode/index/show/chrisdufey/id/41398065

How To Go From Zero To Million Dollar Business In 63-Days 05/12/2026

How To Go From Zero To Million Dollar Business In 63-Days My team builds you a system to scale from $100K to $1M/month without burning out. Interested? →https://jointherainmakers.com/demowatch?cluid=cl8141r7cz27kr018b0788-680d-4785-ab5d-c63b4f1af9f4 In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact 7 lessons that allowed me to build a 7-figure business in 63 days and how you can apply them to yours. After selling my last company for multiple seven figures, I decided to do things differently. I wanted to build a business where I could earn the money I want, work with people I love, do work I love, AND have freedom and time with my family. Here are the 7 key lessons: The Five Ones - Master the one client, one problem, one solution, one traffic source, and one sales mechanism that will accelerate your growth Emulate Before You Innovate - Learn from successful mentors before creating your own path (and why copying without context destroys alignment) Master Your Key Constraint - Find what's holding your business back RIGHT NOW and develop the skills to break through it Create More Than You Consume - Stop procrastinating through information overload; do the work that actually moves your business forward Define Success Clearly - Get crystal clear on your values, constraints, and what you actually want your life to look like Cultivate Your Environment - Be intentional about what you consume, who you spend time with, and where you operate Systems Over Goals - Build systems that make success unavoidable, not just a goal on a list These aren't theoretical I apply these with every client and partner I work with, and I've seen businesses grow exponentially faster when they implement them. This is NOT entertainment this is actionable wisdom you can implement today. If you've hit a plateau in your business or want to build a 7-figure income without sacrificing your life, these lessons will show you exactly how. I'm Chris Dufey, host of this show and founder of The Rainmakers. I started sleeping on a couch with my baby daughter wondering how I'd make rent. Built a multi-7-figure coaching business, sold it, and now I live between Bali and Australia with my four daughters, doing work I actually care about.

Tucker Max on Sovereignty, Freedom and Healing - The Real Path to Power 04/28/2026

Tucker Max on Sovereignty, Freedom and Healing - The Real Path to Power My team builds you a system to scale from $100K to $1M/month without burning out. Interested? →https://jointherainmakers.com/demowatch?cluid=cl8141r7cz27kr018b0788-680d-4785-ab5d-c63b4f1af9f4 Most people think sovereignty means living off-grid or escaping the system. They're wrong. In this conversation, I sit down with Tucker Max — bestselling author, founder, rancher — for one of the most honest conversations I've had about what it actually takes to build a life on your own terms. Not the Instagram version. The real one. Tucker didn't start with a ranch, a school, and years of food storage. He started with money, fame, and women — and was still miserable. This is the story of what came after that. Here's what we get into: Why sovereignty starts with emotional responsibility, not solar panels and water wells The real definition of sovereignty — and why freedom is actually the juvenile version of it How psychedelic medicine cracked open 40 years of unfelt grief in two and a half years Why antidepressants are actually depressants — and what depression is really telling you The question that changed everything for a suicidal friend: "What part of me needs to die?" How to stop lying to yourself (it starts with one decision most people avoid) What spiritual bypassing actually is, why it's so seductive, and how to avoid the trap Why every piece of responsibility you abdicate gets picked up by a tyrant I've had hundreds of conversations about personal growth, psychedelics, and building a life with real freedom. The pattern is clear: the people who build something real aren't the ones who optimised the outside first. They're the ones who did the hard, ugly, internal work first — and let everything else follow. This is that conversation. I'm Chris Dufey, host of this show and founder of The Rainmakers. I started sleeping on a couch with my baby daughter wondering how I'd make rent. Built a multi-7-figure coaching business, sold it, and now I live between Bali and Australia with my four daughters, doing work I actually care about. This episode is for the person who suspects they've been lying to themselves. You probably have. That's okay. Watch it anyway.

This One Funnel Took Me From $40K/Month to Selling My Business (Full Breakdown) 04/24/2026

This One Funnel Took Me From $40K/Month to Selling My Business (Full Breakdown) My team builds you a system to scale from $100K to $1M/month without burning out. Interested? → I was sitting in a cafe in Bali when a WhatsApp message came through. A letter of intent. Final terms. I scrolled to the number and just stared. Five weeks later, clean exit. No earn out. No gold handcuffs. The buyer didn't want me. They wanted what I built. And what I built wasn't a personal brand. It was a business. But two years before that message, I was stuck at $40K a month posting daily, running webinars, sending DMs, launching challenges and still couldn't predict what next month looked like. This video is the full story of how one funnel not a tactic, not a hack one complete ecosystem took me from that chaos to a life-changing exit. Here's what I'm breaking down: Why most coaches aren't building funnels they're building pieces of one (and why that's killing their results) The exact 3-step ecosystem: the ad that filters, the DTO that pre-sells, and the call that closes what's already open How I dropped cost per lead from $45 to $18 and booking rates went from 8% to 34% The month-by-month revenue numbers from $0 to $210K and what actually changed Why working less was the thing that finally made everything grow The difference between building a job and building an asset and how to know which one you have right now What the guy who bought my business said 8 weeks after I walked away completely If you're a coach or consultant doing anywhere from $5K to $50K a month right now this is the most important system you'll see this year. If this is your first time here welcome. My name is Chris Dufey. I'm the founder of The Rainmakers. Here's the short version of how I got here: Started sleeping on a couch with my baby daughter, wondering how I'd make rent. Built my first coaching business to multi-7-figures and sold it. Spent years getting paid $25K/month retainers to fix some of the biggest info-businesses on the planet. Scaled a consulting offer to $1M/year in 63 days. Launched an agency, took it to $200K/month in under 90 days then shut it down because bigger isn't always better. Founded The Rainmakers. Today, my team and I work behind the scenes with some of the most successful online businesses in the world. We give our members the upper hand knowing what's actually working right now, and installing it directly into their businesses. This YouTube channel is me showing up and sharing how I build a business and a life I'm proud of. It's for coaches and consultants who want success that doesn't just look good on Instagram it feels good when they wake up in the morning. Because what's the point of being rich if you're tired, grumpy, and lonely? Time freedom. Mental freedom. Money freedom. You need all three to actually win.

How to Grow a Coaching Business to $1 MILLION Per Month 04/21/2026

How to Grow a Coaching Business to $1 MILLION Per Month My team builds you a system to scale from $100K to $1M/month without burning out. Interested? → Most coaches hit $100K/month and then get completely stuck. Not because they lack talent. Not because the market dried up. Because they're trying to do everything themselves, and that model has a ceiling. In this video, I'm breaking down the exact strategies I've uncovered from over 220 hours of consulting six, seven, and eight-figure CEOs, what actually works, what kills momentum, and how the coaches who break through to $1M/month think and operate differently. Most founders believe the lie that one person can handle it all. Leadership, recruiting, sales, marketing, funnels, ads, delivery, client success, financials. And while you're stretched across all of it, you're not excelling at any of it. The coaches scaling past $100K/month aren't working harder. They're building smarter. Here's what you're getting in this video: Why $100K/month is actually a trap if you're not building the right way The difference between a business that scales and one that just survives What 220+ hours consulting top CEOs taught me about what actually works The "Formula vs Not Formula" framework I developed to pattern-recognize success and failure Why trying to do everything yourself is the #1 growth killer in coaching businesses What 8-figure founders are made of and why not everyone should build to that level How to build a business you actually love instead of one you grow to resent The right people, right systems, right culture framework behind $52M+ in coaching sales I've been behind the scenes of some of the most successful coaching businesses operating today. The pattern is undeniable. The coaches who break through aren't the ones grinding harder. They're the ones who stopped playing every chess piece and started thinking like the player running the whole board. I'm Chris Dufey, founder of The Rainmakers. We build full growth ecosystems for coaches and consultants. I've built and sold a multi-7-figure coaching business, consulted as a Chief Growth Officer at $25K/month retainers, scaled my consulting offer to $1M run rate in 63 days, and now our partner portfolio is moving over $52M in coaching sales per year. I started sleeping on a couch with my baby daughter, wondering how I'd make rent. Built my first business to multi-7-figures, sold it, then spent years getting paid $25K/month retainers to fix some of the biggest info-businesses on the planet. Scaled my consulting offer to $1M/year in 63 days. Launched an agency, took it to $200K/month in under 90 days, then burned it all down because "bigger" doesn't always mean "better." Now I live between Bali and Australia with my four daughters, work 2-4 hours a day, and help coaches install the systems that gave me my freedom back. The ceiling you're hitting right now isn't a market problem. It's a model problem. And the fix isn't more hustle. It's the right infrastructure around the right mission.

ChatGPT Copy Is Killing Coaching Businesses in 2026 04/17/2026

ChatGPT Copy Is Killing Coaching Businesses in 2026 My team builds you a $167K/month client machine in 8 weeks. You just approve it. Interested? → https://jointherainmakers.com/choosetime?utm_src=organicyoutube AI is killing your coaching business. Not because you're not using it. Because you're using it the same way everyone else is, and it's making you invisible. n this video, I'm breaking down the 3 biggest mistakes coaches make with AI that are costing them clients, killing their conversions, and turning their marketing into generic noise. And I'm showing you exactly how to fix it. Most coaches think they're ahead because they're using ChatGPT to create content. They're posting more. They're "automating." They feel productive. But productive and profitable are not the same thing. And while you're churning out AI-generated posts that sound like everyone else, coaches who understand how to use AI strategically are taking your clients. Here's what you're getting in this video: Why AI-generated content is making you invisible (and what to do instead) The 3 AI mistakes that are costing you thousands per month in invisible losses How to use AI to sharpen your positioning instead of just producing more content The hierarchy of what to automate first (most coaches have this backwards) Why ChatGPT is not your business partner and what to use instead The difference between generic AI tools and purpose-built AI systems for coaching businesses How the coaches pulling away from the pack are using AI right now I've audited over 100 coaching businesses in the last 3 months. The pattern is clear: coaches who adopted AI early thought they were ahead, and now their content gets ignored, their funnels convert worse, and their sales calls have dried up. It's not an AI problem. It's a strategy problem. The coaches winning right now aren't the ones with the flashiest AI setup. They're the ones who automated the boring, high-leverage stuff that directly touches revenue. Speed to lead. Sales prep. Delivery admin. The things that actually make money. I'm Chris Dufey, founder of The Rainmakers. We build full marketing ecosystems for coaches and consultants. I've built and sold a multi-7-figure coaching business, been behind the scenes of 7, 8, and 9-figure online businesses, and right now we're deep in the trenches building AI-powered systems that actually move the needle.

How to Make $50,000-$80,000 Monthly as a Coach (My Private System) 04/07/2026

How to Make $50,000-$80,000 Monthly as a Coach (My Private System) My team builds you a $167K/month client machine in 8 weeks. You just approve it. Interested? → Want the exact system that takes Beauty Business owners from $3K to $20K a month without burning out or guessing what comes next? Start here: https://jointherainmakers.com/private If this is our first time meeting hey, I'm Chris Dufey, founder of The Rainmakers. We help online info businesses and coaches make serious money with lean teams, smart systems, and a sales process that doesn't rely on crossing your fingers. In this episode, you're getting a seat inside a real $4,000 private consultation completely free. That's not a headline. That's what happened. I sat down with Adam, a coach who helps independent beauty business owners get more clients and earn more money, and we mapped out exactly what's holding his business back, where the real leverage is, and what the straightest line to $20K a month looks like. No theory. No fluff. Just the actual thinking, frameworks, and decisions. Here's what we covered: How to stop wasting your lead magnet on people who will never buy and reposition it so it pre-qualifies the right clients before they ever talk to you. Why your email nurture sequence might be working against you and the simple shift that turns a cold list of 7,000 into a warm pipeline of booked calls. The one offer to rule them all and why trying to sell two audiences at once is killing your conversions. The three things your prospects need to believe before they'll ever say yes and how to incept those beliefs before the sales conversation even starts. How to make your guarantee so simple and so obvious that objections dissolve before they're even raised. Why changing the name and framing of your call offer every month can dramatically improve your show up rates without changing a single thing about what you actually do. The DM sales method that's generating over $170K USD a month in one business and how to use it to sell your lower ticket offer without a single sales call. If you're a coach, consultant, or expert who helps people get real results and you feel like the ceiling you've hit is more about your system than your skill this episode is going to be one of the most useful things you watch this year. Here's the short version of how I got here: • Became a personal trainer because I was the fat kid who wanted abs (and honestly, I also wanted people to like me). • Built a personal training agency across Sydney gyms. • Moved to Dubai, started a business, had my first child, and discovered how much coffee a new dad can actually run on. • Moved to Bali to "start an online business" which really meant I had no idea and spent everything figuring it out. • Launched a supplement company that went up in flames.

How I Built a $300,000/Month Business - Complete Roadmap Revealed 04/03/2026

How I Built a $300,000/Month Business - Complete Roadmap Revealed In this episode, I’m breaking down the exact roadmap I used to build a $300,000/month business. This isn’t theory. This is the step-by-step blueprint that took me from zero to multiple 7-figures, and I’m showing you every single move. You’re going to see the real systems, the client acquisition machine, and the infrastructure that let me scale to $300K/month without burning out or working 80-hour weeks. If you’re a coach or consultant stuck in the feast-famine cycle, this roadmap will change everything. Here’s what I’m covering: The 5-engine client acquisition system that brings in high-ticket clients on autopilot How to scale revenue without scaling hours (the 2-4 hour workday framework) The exact offer structure that converts at 28.2X ROAS Systems that let your business grow WITHOUT you being the bottleneck Why most coaches fail at $50K/month and how to break through The difference between building a job and building a machine I didn’t get here by grinding harder. I got here by building smarter systems that work while I sleep. And in this video, I’m giving you the complete roadmap so you can do the same. My name is Chris Dufey. I’m the founder of The Rainmakers, and I help coaches and creators build $1M+ businesses that grow without them. I’ve scaled multiple companies to 7 and 8 figures, and I’ve learned that freedom isn’t an accident. It’s engineered. I started sleeping on a couch with my baby daughter, wondering how I’d make rent. Built my first business to multi-7-figures, sold it, then spent years getting paid $25K/month retainers to fix some of the biggest info-businesses on the planet. Scaled my consulting offer to $1M/year in 63 days. Launched an agency, took it to $200K/month in under 90 days, then burned it all down because “bigger” doesn’t always mean “better.” Now I live between Bali and Australia with my four daughters, work 2-4 hours a day, and help other coaches install the exact systems that gave me my freedom back. If you’re ready to stop trading time for money and start building a business that scales without you, this roadmap is your starting point.

The Highest Converting Funnel (The Only Funnel You Need - Highest Converting System REVEALED) 03/31/2026

The Highest Converting Funnel (The Only Funnel You Need - Highest Converting System REVEALED) Work with me: I've built hundreds of funnels. I've spent millions on ads. This one converts better than all of them. $282,000 in monthly revenue on $10,000 ad spend. 28.2X ROAS. From cold strangers clicking ads to closed $6,000 deals. This is a complete breakdown of the 5-engine system that produces these results with real client numbers, real metrics, and nothing held back. The 5 Engines: → Engine 1: The Offer Engine — how we positioned a $6K offer to feel like a no-brainer → Engine 2: The Ad Engine — $10K/month spend, 1.9% CTR, $4.80 CPC, 2,080 visitors → Engine 3: The Funnel Build Engine — landing page, application flow, pre-call experience → Engine 4: The Lead Capture Engine — this is where most coaches lose 15-20% of revenue (staged capture, qualification, routing, speed-to-lead) → Engine 5: The Closing Engine — 31% close rate, 47 deals closed, $213 cost per acquisition The numbers: 312 leads captured at $32 per lead (19% more than standard funnels) 58% qualification rate = 181 booked calls 84% show rate (vs 68% without speed-to-lead) 31% close rate (vs 19% without qualification) 47 deals closed per month $78,000 more per month than without the full system $936,000 more per year on the same ad spend. This isn't one lucky client. This is a repeatable system: One coach hit $1M profit per quarter Another signed 101 clients with only 600 followers Another went on holiday, worked 1.5 hours/day, made full income. The tool that powers Engine 4 (Lead Capture) is iClosed, staged capture, qualification, intelligent routing, speed-to-lead automations. Link below. If you want all 5 engines built for your business, that's what we do inside Rainmakers. Link below. If this is our first time meeting, hey 👋🏼 I'm Chris Dufey, founder of The Rainmakers. We help coaches and creators scale to $1M Profit with tiny teams and only working 2-4hrs a day. A few years ago, I was sleeping on a couch, scrambling to build a business before my first daughter arrived. She showed up. I wasn't ready. Now, I've got four kids, homes in Bali and Australia, and I build 7- and 8-figure businesses that don't depend on me.
