    Episode 35: Karen Covy on How High Performers Decide in Divorce (Without Regret)

    Show Notes: In this episode of Beyond Six Figures, host Ziv Raviv sits down with Karen Covy, a divorce coach, lawyer, mediator, and author who has dedicated her career to helping people navigate one of life’s most difficult transitions: divorce. Karen shares her journey from attorney to coach, and why she chose to focus on empowering clients with clarity, choices, and decision-making strategies. She explains how most people think divorce is only about the law – when in reality, the law is only 10% of the process. The other 90% comes down to decisions, communication, and managing emotions. Her mission? To help people avoid regret, understand their options, and use proven decision-making frameworks to move through divorce with strength and clarity.   Episode Highlights: Why Karen left a successful legal career to become a divorce coach. The shocking discovery that most lawyers don’t explain all client options and how that inspired her new path. Why the law is only 10% of divorce, and the 90% that makes the real difference. How Karen uses research-based tools (like those from Decisive by Chip & Dan Heath) to help clients overcome analysis paralysis. Why Karen won’t make decisions for her clients but instead gives them the clarity and confidence to choose. Why hiring a coach first can save time, money, and years of heartache. How the skills Karen teaches her clients carry into all areas of life – business, parenting, relationships, and more. How Karen grew her divorce coaching practice with referrals, SEO, social media, podcasting, and educational products.   About Karen Covy: Karen Covy is a Divorce Coach, Lawyer, Mediator, Author, Speaker and Podcaster. She coaches busy professionals and business owners all over the world to make clear, confident decisions about their most important relationships. She also helps them navigate through divorce with less conflict, unecessary expense, and needless drama so that they can create the life they truly desire sooner rather than later. .

She is also the creator of the online divorce programs, The Divorce Road Map 3.0 and How to Successfully Mediate Your Divorce as well as the host of the podcast, Off the Fence: Mastering Decision-Making Divorce and More.   Links and resources mentioned: https://karencovy.com/ https://www.facebook.com/KarenCovy https://twitter.com/KarenCovy https://www.linkedin.com/in/karencovy https://www.instagram.com/karencovylawyer https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjduJ54De46L1g69v3yQgrQ https://www.tiktok.com/@karen.covy

    Episode 28: The Weekly Webinar That Made $1M in 14 Months with Mike Schmidt

    Show Notes: This week on Beyond Six Figures, Mike Schmidt (co-founder of Agency Coach and Anchor Wave, 5× Two Comma Club award winner) breaks down how he scaled a coaching business from $0 to $1M in 14 months by running the same webinar every week—and why most “lead problems” are actually activation problems. We get into his Agency Operating System (Attract → Activate → Ascend → Deliver), turning a boom-or-bust funnel into stable MRR, and the practical moves he used to step out of his agency while it kept growing.   Episode Highlights: How repeating the same webinar weekly (with small tweaks) took Mike from 0 → $1M in 14 months (~$300K ad spend) The week an unscripted emotional moment spiked conversions and how Mike learned to “bring the performance” consistently Why leads don’t suck – they’re just not prospects yet. Mike’s approach to nurturing leads until they raise their hand Attract, Activate, Ascend, Deliver and where most coaches over-invest (lead gen) and under-invest (activation & nurture) Running webinars in Zoom Simulive while maintaining 1.6–1.8 ROAS this year The pandemic pivot from launches to recurring coaching (Mastermind at $1,500/mo; Foundations at $750/mo; 8-week sprints at $1–2K) Promoting a CEO at his agency, dropping to 8–12 hours/year of involvement, and focusing fully on coaching Aim to break even on cold ads and win on backend monetization via nurture and ascension If you want to close more deals, start more conversations   About Mike Schmidt: Mike Schmidt started Anchor Wave, a digital marketing agency, straight out of college – without ever having a traditional job. With no one to tell him what was impossible, he built a multi 7-figure agency that runs without him. Now, through Agency Coach, he helps agency owners do the same – teaching them how to scale, generate recurring revenue, and create true freedom. As the co-creator of FunnelHub, he’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs turn their marketing into a powerful client-generating system. What started as a bold leap has evolved into a proven framework for helping agencies own their business—and their life—by mastering three key areas:  Lead Flow & Sales – Attracting ideal clients, nurturing leads, and building effortless conversion systems.  Recurring Revenue – Stacking MRR and creating predictable, scalable income.  Fulfillment & Delivery – Systemizing services, optimizing teams, and delivering big while working less. Mike’s journey is a testament to the power of taking risks, following your passion, and daring to believe in what others call impossible. As a Bootstrapped.com Agency of the Year winner and a multiple 2 Comma Club X award recipient, he now shares his expertise with fellow agency owners – helping them own their agency and own their life on their own terms.   Links and resources mentioned: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anchorwave Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrmikeschmidt  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hellomikeschmidt  AgencyCoach.com  FunnelHub.com
