AI can write your emails, build your funnel, and personalize every touchpoint in your client journey. But what it can't do is create what happens off screen, the moment your client tears open a box, runs their fingers across the pages, catches the scent of something unexpected, and feels the weight of a medal they actually earned. That experience is entirely, irreducibly human. And according to Ma...

What if the customers you secretly wish would just "figure it out" are actually your biggest growth opportunity? Most course creators and online business owners design products for people like themselves, the self-starting 2% who don't need hand-holding.

They also get into what they do at GeekOut, the business they run together and why the problem...

We know all the tricks. We study human behavior. We build systems designed to connect with people. And yet we are still learning and figuring it out. In this episode, Susan and Andrea get honest about the gap between knowing how to reach people and actually reaching them.
