    I’m a sucker for fresh ideas, and this is the most unique marketing case study we’ve covered on the podcast in ages. In December 2023, Nadine Nethery turned heads with a holiday-themed scavenger hunt on her website aptly named “I’ve Elfed Myself.” The concept? Nine hidden treasures tucked across her site that had her audience clicking, hunting, and completely hooked. In just 24 days, Nadine grew her list by 50%, generated $9K in revenue from 68 buyers, and secured two new clients — all without spending a dime on ads.  This innovative marketing campaign also unlocked long-term wins, including word of mouth buzz around the scavenger hunt experience in communities beyond her own, inbound summit and podcast invitations, and a surge in both site sessions and engagement time on her site - hello Google optimization! Let’s break down the data-driven strategies behind Nadine’s festive marketing magic and the ripple effects it continues to create for her brand.

    With a new year around the corner, it’s time to rethink how we approach productivity. Could managing your energy—not your time—be the secret to unlocking major breakthroughs in your business and health? In today’s case study, you’ll hear how Amina AlTai leveraged her energy cycles to transform her business and health. Initially driven by necessity following a brain injury and autoimmune challenges, Amina developed a productivity framework that aligned her work schedule with her body’s natural rhythms.  Within a year, her income doubled from $220K to over $500K. She also created the mental space and energy to write a book that sold within a week of being shopped out in a lucrative pre-empt deal with a publisher. Her anti-hustle approach set her apart in the market, proving that success doesn’t have to come at the cost of well-being. If you’re looking for a sustainable way to grow your business while protecting your health, this conversation is the perfect way to kickstart your year.
