    Meet Elena: Launch Lab’s New Host

    In this episode of Launch Lab, we welcome Elena as the new voice joining the show and officially introduce her to the Launch Lab family. We kick things off with a few fun “get to know you” questions — coffee order, last meal, New York, life advice, and more — before diving into one of our recent client projects: PerformX Training. Michael and Elena talk through how VICI helped PerformX move from a slow, overloaded WordPress course setup into a more scalable Kajabi-based learning platform, while also exploring what’s next with AI-powered coaching tools, smarter intake systems, and using technology to free up business owners’ time. This one is part intro, part business breakdown, and part behind-the-scenes look at how we think through client problems at VICI.  You can learn more about Elena and her work here:https://elenaugccreator.com

    Gladden The Heart

    Episode 3: Gladden the Heart — How Brand, Story, and Digital Strategy Fuel a Mission In this episode of Launch Lab, we’re spotlighting one of our newest and most meaningful client partnerships: Gladden the Heart, a unique charitable foundation built to help generous donors make the greatest possible impact on people who are often overlooked — the poor, the hungry, immigrants, veterans, families facing medical crises, and more. Joining us are Anna Ero, Director of Marketing, and Reverend Gary Charles, Program Director, fresh off a 45-year career in pastoral ministry. Together, they share: How Gladden the Heart began as a rare idea: a private equity model, but for charities What they’ve learned in their first year funding organizations doing frontline, life-changing work Real stories behind their earliest gifts — including emergency relief for Texas flood victims How branding, a clear website, and strong SEO help the foundation earn trust and reach the donors and organizations who need them most What the next 5 years look like for their mission We had the privilege of helping Gladden the Heart shape their brand, logo, and website — and now their digital presence as they prepare to scale their impact nationwide. Sit back and enjoy our conversation with Gladden the Heart.
