Ryan Hawk is a keynote speaker and the host of the Learning Leader Show. The show has been listened to by millions of people in more than 150 countries, and Forbes called it, “the most dynamic leadership podcast around.” He’s also the author of Welcome to Management: How To Grow From Top Performer To Excellent Leader.
Ryan is actually a repeat guest—he was first on the show in episode #61 to talk about his podcasting journey. He’s become a friend and someone I really admire for his intentionality and the way he shows up for others—his friends, his family, and his community.
Ryan’s business isn’t built on podcast advertising, as one may expect. It’s actually built on what he calls Leadership CIRCLES. These are groups of 10-15 people that he hand-selects for a group learning experience. They meet once per month on Zoom and once per year in person.
In this episode, Ryan breaks down the specifics of how he runs these programs, prices them, and plans to grow them. We even workshop some of his questions on the fly.

Robin Dreeke is a human behavior expert, best-selling author, and professional speaker with a pretty incredible background. As a Marine Corps Officer and retired FBI Special Agent, he served as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, where he honed his skills in recruiting spies. He literally built relationships with citizens of other countries, earned their trust, and convinced them to become spies FOR the United States intelligence.
I recently read two of his books, which I highly recommend: The Code of Trust, which teaches you to inspire trust, and It’s Not All About Me: The Top Ten Techniques for Building Quick Rapport with Anyone.
Robin has a unique background in helping us understand humans and how to build relationships with them, and that’s exactly what we discuss in this episode.
Unbreakable Alliances: A Spy Recruiter’s Authoritative Guide to Cultivating Powerful and Lasting Connections
It’s Not All About Me: The Top Ten Techniques for Building Quick Rapport with Anyone

Chase Jarvis is an American photographer, director, artist, and entrepreneur. From April 2014 until July 2022 Jarvis was the chief executive officer of CreativeLive, an online education platform that he co-founded in 2010.
I’ve been a long-time listener of Chase’s podcast, the Chase Jarvis Live Show, and actually wrote him down as one of my ideal podcast guests when I started this show all the way back in 2020.
So this is a full circle moment for me. This week, Chase is releasing his newest book, Never Play It Safe – A Practical Guide to Freedom, Creativity, and a Life You Want. I’ve pre-ordered my copy and I’ve read the first chapter, and recommend you do the same.
This conversation is about thinking bigger, taking risks, and getting out of your own way. I left feeling more relaxed, inspired, and fully recharged. I hope you do, too.

This is going to be a special episode. You may or may not be familiar with The Lab, my membership community for professional creators. Each month in The Lab, I record a Retro – a 30-minute video breaking down that previous month’s performance.
I share:
My Profit & Loss statement (including a breakdown of where those revenue and expenses come from)
How I did with my goals for the month
The highlights
My concerns
And changes I’m making based on that new data
A lot of members tell me it’s their favorite part of membership. This episode is the audio from my latest retro, looking at August of 2024. Now this isn’t the *complete* experience of my monthly retros because a big part of the experience INSIDE The Lab is seeing my video screensharing this information, but it’s close.
So, I hope you enjoy this look behind the curtain of my business – I know I love it when I get to see behind OTHER peoples’ businesses. And if you DO enjoy this experience, consider joining us in The Lab! We have some space available now, and even if you want to join on the Basic tier, you’ll get access to ALL of my courses, workshops, these monthly retros, and more.

Dan Misener is the co-founder of the podcast growth agency, Bumper. Prior to co-founding Bumper, Dan served as Director of Audience Development at Pacific Content, where he worked with brands like Slack, Adobe, Charles Schwab, Ford, Dell Technologies, Morgan Stanley, Red Hat, and Atlassian.
Before that, he spent a decade working in public radio at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, where he was involved in their earliest podcasting efforts.
He also hosts and produces the independent live event and podcast series Grown Ups Read Things They Wrote As Kids. The series has won several industry awards and has been downloaded over 10,000,000 times.
Dan is a big-time data nerd, and with podcast analytics being so challenging to understand, this was exactly the type of conversation I was hoping to have. Dan and his team at Bumper have built an internal tool called the Bumper Dashboard that doesn't emphasize downloads, but verified listeners and consumption time.

In keeping with tradition, I spoke with Justin Moore at VidSummit 2024 about two major things.
One is being a new parent and a creator. That's the first half of our conversation. The second half is all about a new product that I am building behind the scenes, so I think you're really going to enjoy it.

This week, I’m sharing a recent conversation with Justin Moore, a friend of the podcast. Justin has been on the show several times, most recently in May. He’s a member of The Lab, the founder of Creator Wizard, and THE guy to learn sponsorship strategy from.
Justin is making some big moves – next year, he’s publishing his first book AND he’s hosting an in-person sponsorship summit. When we were at Craft + Commerce back in June, he and I took some time to talk about how I’d approach that event if I were him. This was originally part of HIS Creator Wizard podcast.
