Welcome to The OfferMojo™ Show — a podcast for experienced, values-led experts who want to build a clear, sustainable business strategy without hustle, bro-marketing, or burning themselves out. I’m Lori Young — offer strategist, online marketer, and creator of the OfferMojo™ Framework. I help expert entrepreneurs turn scattered offers, messaging, visibility, and sales assets into one cohesive business ecosystem they can explain, sell, and scale with confidence. If you’re building a service-based, expert-led business and you know your work has depth — but your offers, positioning, messaging, or sales path still feel harder to explain than they should — you’re in the right place. On this show, you’ll find a mix of practical strategy sessions, behind-the-scenes founder reflections, and grounded guest conversations to help you make your business clearer, stronger, and more sustainable. Together, we’ll explore questions like: ➝ Why isn’t my offer selling, even though I know the work is valuable?➝ How do I know if my business is actually ready for more visibility?➝ What’s missing in my positioning, pricing, structure, or messaging?➝ How do I talk about my work in a way that feels clear, true, and compelling?➝ How do I build a business that can grow without constantly reinventing, overgiving, or overriding my nervous system?➝ How do my offers, messaging, visibility, and sales path work together as one ecosystem? Whether you’re refining an existing offer, restructuring your business, or finally taking your expertise seriously, The OfferMojo™ Show will help you build a business that is easier to explain, easier to sell, and more sustainable to run. Because your work matters — and your business should be built in a way that can actually hold it.

    E88: Where to Move Your Custom GPTs (Without Giving Away Your IP)

    If you've sold a custom GPT or handed one out as a freebie, you probably felt your stomach drop when the news came out that custom GPTs are going away. OpenAI is retiring them on December 11, 2026. On this guest episode of The Offer Mojo Show, Lori Young is joined by Wendy Breakstone, who teaches non-techie coaches and service experts how to build AI automations and AI employees. Together they sort out what to protect right now and where else you can build, so you can make a calm decision before the deadline makes it for you. Wendy has taught custom GPTs since the day they launched, and her read on this is steady. It's a nuisance, the kind you'd handle if your email platform shut down, and your IP isn't going anywhere. Then Lori and Wendy get into the part most people are rushing past: a skill is your playbook in a plain text file, so turning a paid GPT into one can hand your methodology to anyone who opens it. We talk about:  What to back up today so you keep the structure you built your IP into, including the edits you made inside the GPT Why "lifetime access" was always the life of the product, and what you owe the people who bought your GPT When a skill makes sense for your IP, and when it hands over your whole methodology Where else you can rebuild (RadGenius, Pickaxe, vibe-coded apps) and the usage costs that come with each How Wendy's Grok Bot team of AI employees runs parts of her business without being asked, and what should stay humanIf there's a custom GPT with your name on it, press play before you decide what to do with it. Wendy put together a listener gift for you: her free 21 Easy AI Automations Handbook. Use code MOJO. Get the handbook here: [HANDBOOK LINK] Want to keep learning with Wendy? Join her free Skool community, The Solo Expert Advantage.  Guest Information:  Wendy Breakstone teaches non-techie coaches, program creators, and service experts how to build simple AI automations and AI employees that grow their income without adding to their workload or requiring them to hire. She believes AI should be platform agnostic and pointed at the money, helping you save it, make it, keep it and protect it, while critical thinking stays with the human. She brings more than 20 years of marketing and operations experience across high-tech companies, best-selling authors, and e-commerce brands, and has taught custom GPTs since they launched in late 2023. A proud Gen Xer who calls herself an AI enthusiast, she runs a team of 11 AI employees led by her chief of staff, Barb.

    EP87: Black Friday Without the FOMO: 7 Sustainable Options for Service-Based Businesses

    For eight years, I avoided Black Friday like I was allergic to it. Then last year I went all in with a brand new deal every single day, and the results were mediocre at best. In this solo episode, I walk you through seven sustainable ways to handle Black Friday as a service-based business owner, plus a bonus idea I wish I'd taken seriously a lot sooner. Some of these options involve selling, and one involves sitting the whole thing out. Every one of them starts with what your business and your nervous system can hold this season. You'll learn:  Why skipping Black Friday is a legitimate business decision (and how to handle the FOMO when your inbox fills up) How to use Black Friday week to practice holding your prices Why launching two weeks early gets you the attention and the rest How to run a pop-up offer without a discount, and why it can't come back in the spring The one type of offer I don't feel bad about discountingIf you're going to participate this year, you'll need to decide soon. Press play, then pick the option that fits you. If Black Friday has you thinking about the offer you want to launch in the new year, the Offer Clarity Duo is a good place to start. It pairs two AI offer assistants from my OfferMojo Squad: Grace, who helps you shape your offer strategy, and Elliot, who maps where that offer fits in your offer ecosystem. It's $97.

    E86: Should You Build Your Offer with AI? What to Hand Off and What to Keep

    Should you build your offer with AI, or is that the fastest way to sound like everyone else? I tried taking that shortcut in my own business, and the offer that came back was so generic I scrapped it and started over. In this solo episode, I walk you through the case for and against building offers with AI, based on what I've seen in my own business and with clients. You'll hear about a prospect who skipped expert help to build his offer with Claude, what happened next, and where I draw the line between the work AI can take off your plate and the work that still needs a human. You'll learn:  Five offer-building tasks where AI saves you real time (including the launch plan that saved me hours with 15 promo partners) How to push AI past generic offer and framework names until you land on one that fits you Why an AI-suggested price can be way off for your actual audienceThe identity work behind every good offer, and why no AI tool can do it for you Why positioning, sales copy and a sustainable offer ecosystem still call for human expertiseIf you're using AI to build your offers, or thinking about it, press play before you hand over the parts that matter most. Want AI support that's built on real offer strategy? The OfferMojo Squad is a team of AI offer assistants built on the same frameworks I use with my private clients, taking you from positioning all the way to launching and selling your offer.

    E85: Why Your Offer Stopped Selling: Energy Leaks and Human Design with Jennifer Greiner

    Your offer stopped selling and nothing about it changed. Same promise, same price, same words that used to land people in your calendar, and now it is quiet. On this guest episode of The Offer Mojo Show, Lori Young is joined by Jenn Greiner, a therapist turned human design coach and the founder of Divine Vitality, to talk about emotional energetics and why the frequency of your offer has to keep pace with the frequency of you. Jenn's premise is that offers carry a vibration the same way people do. When you grow and the offer stays where it was, the mismatch shows up as dread before your client calls, or a launch that goes quiet for no reason you can point to. Lori and Jenn get into what that looks like in a real business, including the offers Jenn pulled off her own website and the clients Lori took on when she already knew better. We talk about: How to run an energetic audit of your offer suite, including the passive offers that cost you something even when nobody buys themWhy your energy type shapes which offer structures you can sustain, and which ones will burn you downWhat to do when an offer you built and loved no longer feels like youHow to hold a boundary when your income goal is pressuring you to override itWhy detaching from client energy after a session protects your capacity to sellIf your offer looks fine on paper and still is not moving, press play. Jenn's Self-Care Checklist is a good starting point if you want a practical way to find the leaks she describes in this episode.

    E84: Strategic Partnerships Create the Rising Tide Effect, with Melanie Benson

    Strategic collaboration is the difference between being seen by more people and being seen by the right ones. Most of us learn the expensive way. Lori has been feeling it lately, spread across Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, her own podcast, and now a Substack experiment, doing visibility that looks productive and moves almost nothing. On this guest episode of The Offer Mojo Show, Lori Young is joined by Melanie Benson, authority amplifier for expert entrepreneurs and founder of the Rising Tide Collective, to talk about what actually turns a network into a client-attracting ecosystem. Melanie makes the case that proximity beats broadcasting, and she gets specific about how to tell a collaboration that compounds from one that just costs you a Tuesday. We talk about:  Why spray and pray visibility leaves you exhausted and diluted, and what intentional actually looks like Melanie's win-win-win test for deciding whether a collaboration is worth your time and your list How to vet a potential partner before you commit (yes, their socials count as evidence) Why "is this easy?" is the wrong filter, and the question Melanie asks instead The compounding payoff of being seen with the right people, even when the leads don't show up right awayCollaboration amplifies whatever you already have, which is exactly why it's worth being picky about who you amplify with. If you've been saying yes out of obligation instead of strategy, press play. Melanie made a free resource for OfferMojo listeners. The Collaboration X Factor is a three-minute self-assessment that tells you which of the three collaboration phases you're in and what to strengthen next. Get it here: https://melaniebenson.com/offermojo  Guest Information: Melanie Benson is the go-to authority amplifier for expertpreneurs who are ready to monetize their visibility and claim their industry leadership. She believes the fastest path to authority is proximity rather than volume, because the right rooms carry your work further than any posting schedule can. Over two decades she has helped experts break out of best-kept-secret mode, and her own show, Amplify Your Success, ranks in the top 1% of podcasts globally. Her work has been spotlighted in Authority Magazine, Bloomberg Businessweek, Woman's Day, and Parenting. A community builder since 2001, she founded the Rising Tide Collective for established experts who co-create through collaboration, and she writes a Substack called Growth Fuel.

    E82: Burnout Almost Won This Summer. Here's What I Changed

    Two months ago I felt myself sliding toward burnout, the familiar kind I've hit before and swore I wouldn't let happen again. This time I stopped it before it happened, but not without making some hard decisions in my business. In this solo episode, I revisit the summer strategy I laid out on day one of my Refine & Recline series and tell you the truth about what happened. What I built, what I skipped, and where I got pulled off course. This isn't a highlight reel. It's the real accounting: wins, losses, and the garage I finally cleaned. You'll learn: Why protecting fun and connection took harder choices than I expectedWhat learning to receive looked like, after a lifetime of always doingThe real story behind my Offer X-Ray launch, including the funnel mistake that cost real salesWhy I cut three content platforms and moved my podcast to a biweekly rhythmThe one lesson from this whole series that applies no matter what you're buildingIf you've spent this summer chasing goals while your actual life kept happening around them, this episode is your permission to look back honestly, give yourself credit, and refine from here. If your own offer needs the same honest look mine got, that's exactly what the Offer X-Ray is built for. It's a full diagnostic that looks at 6 layers of the offer lifecycle and shows you where your offer is working and where it's costing you sales, in about 60 minutes.

    E81: Is Your Offer Sales-Ready? 6 Pillars to Check Before You Launch (Refine and Recline Series)

    Two people showed up when I launched an offer that wasn't sales-ready. Not two hundred. Two. I'm going to tell you exactly what went wrong, because it maps perfectly onto the six pillars that decide whether any offer is ready to sell. In this solo episode, I walk you through those six pillars, using my own flop, the Offer Confidence Lab, as the case study. This isn't a "here's what you did wrong" episode. It's a "here's what to refine" episode. You'll learn:  Why sales-readiness is almost never about your price (and what it's really about instead) The three ways to find out if an offer is ready, and why two of them are expensive How to refine your positioning so a stranger could describe exactly who it's for Why solving too many problems in one offer backfires, even when it feels generous A gut check for each of the six pillars: positioning, structure, messaging, ecosystem, visibility, and salesTune in before you launch or relaunch anything this fall, or use it to figure out what's holding back an offer you've already got out in the world. If you want more than a gut check, the Offer X-Ray digs into all six pillars of your actual offer and hands you specific fixes to make right away. It's $67, and I use it on every offer I have, including the ones that are already selling well.
