    https://www.shanalynn.com/podcast/more-than-40-conversion-and-3x-members-in-1-launch-with-ali-kay

    What does it really take to triple a membership in a single launch—without relying on hype or burning out your audience?

    In this highlight episode, Shana sits down with Ali Kay to unpack the exact launch strategy that took Ali’s membership from 1,400 to over 4,400 members in just nine days. What started as a $10 paid workshop turned into a powerful growth engine built on trust, community, and intentional connection.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • How a $10 paid workshop can outperform a free challenge when launching a membership
    • Why breaking even on ads before opening the cart can put you ahead from day one
    • The power of showcasing your existing members as your strongest advocates
    • How to “seed” your membership early and often without turning people off

  • The 7-Figure Lie: What Every Business Owner Must Know
    Feb 3 2026

    https://www.retainguide.com/ - Get Instant Access to The Membership Retention Roadmap: 5 Systems You Need to Keep More Members

    What does it really mean to be a seven-figure business owner?

    In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most common (and most misunderstood) titles in the online business space. You hear it everywhere - on Instagram, podcasts, sales pages but very few people stop to define what “seven figures” actually represents.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • Who is a 7-figure business owner?
    • Revenue is all good, but what’s your profit
    • Why profit is the number that actually impacts your life
    • Knowing your numbers like a real CEO
    • Why titles don’t equal credibility


    Being a smart business owner isn’t about hitting an arbitrary revenue number. It’s about knowing your numbers, understanding your profit, and building a business that actually works for you and your family.
