    Episode #972: Peter Lloyd-Lister: Using Skool Auctions to Generate Massive Revenue!
    May 4 2026
    For coaches looking for a fresh way to inject a burst of revenue into their businesses without the fatigue of a traditional launch, this episode dives into a unique strategy: Skool auctions. Joining Marc today is Peter Lloyd-Lister, who helps coaches run high-energy auctions inside Skool communities. This isn't the fast-talking, old-school variety though - it's a strategic, online process that turns a simple community into a revenue-generating machine! In this episode, Peter explains how he's helped coaches generate 6-figure results with Skool groups of fewer than 200 members, and why the direct messaging power of Skool makes it the ultimate platform for this model compared to traditional Facebook groups. The conversation also covers a zero-risk way to bring an auctioneer onto a coaching team and provides a behind-the-scenes look at the auction Peter and Marc are running together inside the brand-new Secret Coach Club. If you're ready to stop shouting into the social media void and start using a strategy that gets people raising their hands and their bids, Peter shares exactly how to get the ball rolling! What You'll Hear In This Episode: A high-level breakdown of how a Skool auction works and the psychological importance of starting bids at just $1. The technical setup and cost of Skool, and why it's arguably the most user-friendly community platform for coaches today. Finding the "Goldilocks" zone for auction frequency and how long you should wait between events to avoid audience fatigue. Why your auction prize doesn't have to be your core offer and how to use the backend to sell your high-ticket programs. The reasons that the strongest auctions are built on community value and the dangers of treating your group as a ghost town between events. Real-world case studies from Peter of Skool auctions generating 6-figure revenue with groups as small as 180 members. Why Peter follows a 43-step checklist to maximize revenue and how to leverage an auctioneer with zero upfront risk. A sneak peek inside the brand-new Secret Coach Club and how to watch the auction process unfold in real-time.

Today, Marc is joined by Bryce Hoffman, the founder of Red Team Thinking and a former business journalist who has spent decades looking inside the world's most successful organizations, as he dives into the concept of Red Teaming, a methodology originally developed by military and intelligence agencies to stress-test strategies and navigate extreme uncertainty.

Listeners will learn foundational tools like Think-Write-Share and the Six Strategic Questions to help clients navigate complexity with clarity, and you can claim your spots now at https://www.naturalborncoaches.com/redteamcoaching!

A look at the massive shifts in the coaching industry over the last few years and the disruptive impact of a "VUCA world". How coaches can help leaders establish their unique value and build cognitive resilience in a market flooded with low-cost alternatives. The one critical limitation of AI and why this is important for coaches to understand. Practical steps for applying red team thinking to your own coaching business by focusing on the three Cs: Clarity, Capability, and Culture.

  • Episode #966: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Finding Your Voice with Matt Mawhinney of PodAssist

    Episode #966: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Finding Your Voice with Matt Mawhinney of PodAssist
    Mar 23 2026
    Ever felt like you're waiting for the "perfect" moment to launch your podcast, only to watch months (or years) slip by? Today, Matt Mawhinney of PodAssist steps out from behind the scenes to reveal how he launched his own show in less than a week, and gives his expert podcast tips and strategies from over a decade in the podcast trenches. If you're tired of the imposter syndrome and the "podfade" trap, Matt is breaking down the exact sustainable systems he uses to build authority, ditch the need for a million-dollar studio, and finally get your message out to the world. It's time to stop performing for others…start walking the walk! What You'll Hear In This Episode: How Matt went from "never in a million years" wanting to host a show to having his podcast live on all platforms in less than a week. Why waiting for the "perfect" setup, or re-listening to your own episodes, is the fastest way to kill your podcasting momentum. The staggering statistics on how many podcasts quit within the first 8 episodes and how Matt's sustainable approach keeps shows running for the long haul. Why he chose the solo format for his own podcast to establish authority, and why he warns against listening too much to the opinions of others. The key reasons Matt advises against recording 20 episodes before even launching, and how to avoid punching yourself out in "Round One." A reminder that you don't need a professional-grade studio to sound great, and the tremendous opportunity that exists for experts to launch podcasts right now. How joining the right community, and specifically the Coaching Jungle VIP was the catalyst that shifted Matt from a behind-the-scenes expert to public-facing creator. Why sharing the episodes you appear on isn't just "nice to do" - it's an essential part of podcasting etiquette that helps both the host and the guest.
