Selling a physical product and selling a course are fundamentally different problems. With a physical product, the thing speaks for itself. Someone can hold it, feel it, decide whether it’s worth what they paid. The email’s job is to get them to the product page and let the product close. With a digital product or course, the email has to do almost all of that work on its own. There’s nothing to hold. No packaging to admire. Just a promise that what’s on the other side of the checkout is worth their time and money. The founders who do it…

This interview has been edited for length and clarity. David Royce has a theory about success. It’s not about the industry you pick, the degree you have, or whether the opportunity looks good on paper. It’s about whether you’re willing to do the thing nobody else wants to do, for long enough to become the best at it. The founder and chairman of Aptive, the third-largest residential pest control service in North America, spent four college summers selling door-to-door before he ever considered starting a business. What followed was three eight and nine-figure exits to the same strategic buyer, and…

You’re sending emails to thousands of people who all look the same in your ESP. Same list. Same segments. Same campaigns going out to everyone who bought a moisturiser in the last 90 days. And yet somewhere in that list, there’s the customer who bought it for dry skin, the one who bought it as a gift, and the one who’s been dealing with a specific skin condition for years. Three completely different people. One generic email. That’s the gap zero-party data closes. Unlike behavioural data, which infers what people want by watching what they click, zero-party data is information…

Most email programs are built around one question: how do we get more people to buy? It’s not a bad question. But it’s an incomplete one. The brands that build lasting businesses aren’t just converting subscribers into customers. They’re converting customers into people who feel connected to something. People who recommend the brand without being asked. Who stick around when a cheaper alternative shows up in their feed. Who write in just to say they love what you’re doing. That’s community. And email, used well, is one of the most underrated tools for building it. Not because it’s the flashiest…

This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Leila Hormozi doesn’t talk about her past to shock people. She talks about it because she thinks it’s the point. The co-founder of Acquisition.com has been open about the six arrests, the addiction, and the moment she stood in front of a mirror and decided she didn’t want to be that person anymore. Not as a cautionary tale, but as proof that the same capacity for excess that nearly destroyed her is exactly what built a portfolio doing over $250 million in annual revenue by the time she was 30. Foundr…

You’ve done the hard part. You’ve written a subject line that earns the open. You’ve crafted copy that actually sounds like a human wrote it. You’ve built the automation, scheduled the send, and hit the button with the quiet confidence of someone who knows what they’re doing. And then it disappears into the spam folder. Not because your email was bad. Not because your offer wasn’t compelling. But because something in the background, something invisible to most founders, decided your message wasn’t worth delivering. That’s the brutal reality of email deliverability. You can have the best email strategy in the…

We’ve all been there. It’s Black Friday week, and your inbox looks like a warzone. “50% OFF EVERYTHING!” “LAST CHANCE!” “DON’T MISS OUT!” Every brand you’ve ever bought from (and a few you definitely haven’t) is screaming for your attention at the same time. And what do you do?  Delete, delete, delete. But seasonal email campaigns don’t have to feel like a desperate pitch. Done right, they can actually strengthen your relationship with your audience, drive real revenue and leave your customers genuinely excited to hear from you, even during the busiest shopping periods of the year. The secret? It’s…

Lily didn’t set out to launch a clothing brand for the sake of fashion. The idea came from a daily frustration she couldn’t ignore.  While working full-time in electric vehicle infrastructure, Lily found herself constantly battling pet hair. “I work in electric vehicle infrastructure. It’s a nice eight-to-five, Monday through Friday. I have three dogs, and I was always just covered in fur all the time,” she explains. The problem was simple, persistent, and personal. “I pretty much thought to myself, how could I make clothes where the hair just doesn’t stick — or I could easily wipe it away?”…

Most businesses obsess over getting the first sale. Far fewer think about what happens next. After a customer buys, there is a quiet window where decisions are already being made. Will they remember you? Will they come back? Or will your brand slowly fade while something else grabs their attention? This is where timely email makes the difference. Not more emails.  Not louder promotions.  Just the right message at the right moment. When emails arrive in context, after a purchase, during a pause, or exactly when a customer is ready to re-engage, they feel helpful instead of intrusive. And that…
