Cleaning your email list probably isn’t at the top of your to-do list.  But if you're prepping for a big Q4 push, it needs to be.  If your list is packed with ghost subscribers who haven’t opened your emails in months, your best offers may never even reach the inbox.  And that could mean leaving thousands of dollars on the table. In this episode, I’m sharing why now is the perfect time to clean and reengage your list and how to do it without accidentally removing your buyers or overcomplicating the process.  I’m also inviting you behind the scenes of the exact "Wake the Dead" system I’m using in my business, which we’ll be walking through step-by-step in this month’s Newsletter Profit Club workshop. To help me teach it, I’m bringing in email strategist Bev Feldman of Your Personal Tech Fairy, the expert I hired to set this up for both of my newsletters.  Together, we’ll show you how to build a smart, automated system that improves deliverability, increases open rates, and protects your most valuable subscribers. What You’ll Learn: Why inactive subscribers are secretly costing you moneyThe 5 biggest myths about email list cleaning—and what’s actually trueThe simple 3-email reengagement sequence that works like magicHow to define "inactive" subscribers in a way that works for your businessSteps to protect customers and VIPs from being removed by mistakeHow to automate the entire process so it runs in the backgroundA pre-workshop challenge you can do today for a quick winIf you’re ready to make your email list a money-making machine heading into the busiest season of the year, this episode is a must-listen.  Mentioned in this episode: Get the workshop for free inside of the Newsletter Profit Club.

We talk about how AI can reduce overwhelm, help you sell more (yes, really!), and stay connected to your voice and values. Ruth also shares behind-the-scenes of how she’s using custom GPTs, plus her exact workflow for making AI feel more human and more helpful. What You’ll Learn: How Ruth overcame deep visibility fears and found her voiceA mindset shift to help you stop feeling “behind” on AIRuth’s step-by-step process for making AI sound like youWays to use AI to support executive function and reduce overwhelmHow custom GPTs are helping her make confident decisions fasterUsing AI to sell more and create better support systems for your clientsWhat to expect from her upcoming Aligned AI SummitIf AI has felt like too much, or too impersonal, this episode will change how you see it.  Ruth’s perspective is exactly what so many of us need right now: compassionate, strategic, and incredibly practical.
