    How To Double Your Revenue By Selling To High-Value, Conservative Customers

    How To Double Your Revenue By Selling To High-Value, Conservative Customers

    If you’re a business owner or founder, Mike has an eye-opening episode to share with you today.
    Mike sat down with his friends, Kurt and Kristen Luidhardt, who have a super unique approach for rapidly growing your business by tapping into what they call "Liberty Spenders" - a lucrative market of 40% of the U.S. population that most businesses completely overlook.
    Between them, they've raised over $500 million from over 1 million transactions working on political campaigns. They've helped elect 1 president, 14 governors, and over 100 members of Congress by mastering the psychology of connecting with this hyper-engaged audience.
    And now they've adapted their system to help businesses access and resonate with these fiercely loyal buyers in any industry - financial services, consumer products, you name it.
    During the conversation, they dove deep into their 5-step process for identifying and speaking the "language" of Liberty Spenders, including:
    How to instantly analyze your existing customer base to see what percentage are potential Liberty Spenders (the numbers will shock you)The 3 positioning boxes you can choose from to authentically connect with this market - from full ideological stance to neutrality.Crafting a magnetic narrative that taps straight into the passion center of these buyers' minds.Proving your messaging before spending a dime through laser-accurate testing and focus groups.Rolling out an air-tight multi-channel game plan to put your offers in front of this massive, underserved audience.Kurt and Kristen dropped countless, incredibly valuable case studies and tactics from their two decades in the trenches. Like the beer company that did $1 million in sales overnight by hitting the right emotional chord and taking advantage of the $27 BILLION dollar Bud Light debacle.
    You're going to want to take notes on this one when you hear how much low-hanging fruit is sitting there waiting to be picked.
    Key Takeaways
    (00:00) Discover untapped markets for business growth.(03:55) Faith-based buyers: the holy grail of loyal spenders.(09:31) Timing, relevance, and strategy in marketing.(15:44) Kurt's organizational genius and leadership in business.(19:15) Accessing data leads to more targeted marketing.(21:17) Position to market, ideology, issue-oriented approach choices.(28:20) Small budget, bold message effectively captures audience.(32:26) Authentic belief, marketing to conservative audience success.(34:00) Promoted movie, turned losses into profit.

    It was one of the most fascinating conversations Mike has had in a while — all about the rise of English as the global language and how it's shaped culture, business, and even our individual mindsets.
    Dan makes a bold claim that English is the "Latin of the 21st century" and shares insightful stories about his experiences with people from all over the world who learned English as a second language to unlock greater opportunities.
    Mike and Dan discuss how English's simplicity and adaptability allowed it to overtake other languages and how its dominance in entertainment, technology, and entrepreneurship encouraged billions to adopt it for fame, fortune, and a better life.
    But here's the real mind-bender: Dan argues that non-native English speakers are often BETTER communicators because they instinctively check for understanding in a way native speakers don't.
    You'll hear firsthand examples of this from Dan's powerful interactions in Buenos Aires that inspired ideas for creating multilingual podcasts, audiobooks and more!
    You don't want to miss this one! Let's hear your biggest takeaways! Mike is really curious to hear perspectives from non-native English speakers.

    His cycling metaphors for teamwork, leadership, and personal growth are so visceral, you'll feel the wind in your face. They discuss how Aaron once biked 200 miles in a single day across mountain ranges by "drafting" behind his wife to conserve energy for the final push.
    But the real magic happens when Aaron walks through the five "breakaway secrets" he teaches ambitious entrepreneurs to achieve sustainable growth and personal freedom:
    Getting your mindset rightKeeping and retaining a culture of top talentAccelerating with the right strategiesScaling through systems and smart hiringAchieving the "freedom" you started your business forAaron's had multiple successful exits, including selling his last business for a life-changing amount of money. Yet his former partners still respect him immensely because he left the company in capable hands and poised for even more growth.
    That's the power of doing it right - building an exitable business you can walk away from (even for 7 weeks at a time!) while it continues thriving under leaders you developed.
    You'll also hear about Aaron's new book "Entre Thrive" and his latest reinvention with the Breakaway Accelerator program for entrepreneurs wanting that same level of freedom and exit potential.
    Whether you're just starting to build your dream or ready to sell, this episode is a master class in the psychology and systems needed for breakaway success.
    Aaron's vivid analogies and willingness to get vulnerable about his personal journey make this a truly inspiring listen. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on growth, freedom, and living "the good life.”

You’ve helped unlock something inside of me!

Ever since high school, I have heard the phrase, “you have so much potential,” which I have viewed as a thinly disguised way of the deliverer telling me I’m not working hard enough. These podcasts, particularly the one with Bryan Howard, CEO of Mercury Performance Group, are helping me understand that it’s less about working hard (although that’s still important) and more about finding the right alignment with values, goals, and perspective.

Specifically, the inchworm concept that Bryan described out resonated with me because I realized I may have been ahead of the curve at one point in my career but my leaders were uncomfortable with my methods and suppressed them—and therefore me. (Spoiler alert—I no longer work for them.) Through Bryan’s description, I had an aha moment that I now have the privilege of leading at least one inchworm right now and that requires a different leadership approach than someone who may still be developing their skills. I owe it to these talented team members to do better than my previous leaders and be open to their ideas, then support and advocate for them as they change the organization for the better.

Thank you for your perspective and vision through these podcasts, and keep bringing the terrific content!
