My guest on the show today calls herself one of my star students, and I definitely agree! Kaity Griffin successfully scaled an e-commerce business using Google Ads. That’s when she realized she was more passionate about the Google Ads side of the business, which she says engaged both the creative and data-driven sides of her brain.
Kaity sold her e-commerce business and moved to a well-known Google Ads agency in Melbourne, Australia. After her second child was born, she realized she had a desire to start her own business. Fast forward to today, and she is now an expert in Google AdWords and has built a multiple six-figure business in a short amount of time, all while having two kids under five.
Kaity runs a successful Google AdWords agency and has launched her course teaching Google Ads. She is a “mum” who is very protective of her time and only works three days a week so she can be fully present with her kids. Kaity reveals her big WHY (her family), which is the filter for everything she does in her business. I think many of you will relate to Kaity’s story, where she dives into how she has created a successful, streamlined business that she loves.

I am excited to invite one of my Accelerator Mastermind students, Jamie Sears, back on the show for a second interview. Jamie has an incredible business serving teachers in grades two through five and is now finding herself pivoting to provide assistance to teachers all over the country who are scrambling due to school closures.
Jamie manages four Facebook groups that have a total of 161,000 members, which makes it the largest educational community on Facebook! On today’s show, Jamie shares practical tips and experiments she has done to better understand and engage such a massive community.
Her wit and genuine intention to provide value are really at the core of everything she does! We will find out how Jamie is listening to her community and what she is doing to act quickly and serve them in the best way she can during this current crisis.
We will discover how Jamie started with "crickets" in her group and now has a group with thousands of engagements a day. We chat about easy ways to get engagement in your community and how looking at data can help you learn about the patterns of your audience to better serve them.
Jamie breaks down seven types of posts that get the most engagement for her groups. If you feel like your group could use a boost and is not as active as you would like, you are going to walk away from today’s episode with lots of ideas for creating an engaged Facebook group that helps you grow your business.

Atomic Habits by James Clear
Today I’m really excited to be introducing you to my friend and member of Accelerator, Madison Doubroff. Madison is a functional movement coach and connective exercise specialist, and he has really pivoted his business to deal with these uncertain times, while achieving great success in the process. In fact, Madison has never been busier than he is right now in his business, and he has so many lessons to share that I knew I had to invite him to come on the podcast.
When Madison joined Accelerator 6 months ago his big goal was to create a sales funnel to sell his higher-ticket offers. Recently he’s really dialed in his funnel by simplifying it, and he doesn’t do traditional “sales calls” to enroll new clients either. Madison leads with service and value, and it really shows with his 77% close rate – and he’s going to break it down for you here how he does this!
You’ll hear the pricing strategies that Madison uses, the way that he overqualifies his leads, and the amazing things that can happen when you do this. If you’re wondering about pivoting your offer and messaging and really leading with value and service during these times, you’re going to get a lot from this episode!
I’m starting a new 8-week group coaching program to offer support during these uncertain times, and you can register at https://rickmulready.com/strategysessions (available to the first 50 people who sign up).
In an effort to help you lead your business in these times, I’ve been bringing some great guests on the show, and today is no different. My guest is Tarzan Kay, a former copywriter and online business owner who now helps people through her online courses and coaching programs.
The last time Tarzan was a guest on the show, back in May 2019, she talked about how to create big revenue with a small email list. Today’s topic is something that is so important for online entrepreneurs, especially now, which is how to show up for your audience in an authentic way.
We cover things like if we should be selling at this time, how to use urgency and scarcity the right way, what she sees happening in these uncertain times, and so much more!
If you have a topic that you’d like me to cover on the podcast, as always please reach out to me by direct message on Instagram, @rickmulready.
In an effort to help you lead your business through these turbulent and uncertain times, not only do I want to share my own thoughts, but I want to bring you lots of different perspectives. Today you’re going to hear from my friend and former coach, Kris Plachy, a business and mindset coach for female entrepreneurs who generate 7-figures of revenue and above. Her coaching is relevant to any entrepreneur though, regardless of gender and revenue level, and I hope you get a ton out of this conversation with Kris!
If you have a topic that you’d like me to cover on the podcast, as always please reach out to me by direct message on Instagram, @rickmulready.
With the events that are happening around the world, I want to be showing up as much possible. That is why I’m bringing you this bonus episode today, to support you through these turbulent times we are all facing.
A lot of people are telling you what you “should” be doing right now, and I think it’s doing you a disserve. I’m seeing a lot of shaming happening around business owners selling their products and services now, but I’m going to reveal why I absolutely think that now is the time that you should be selling and serving your audience.
Like I mentioned last week, If you have a topic that you’d like me to cover on the podcast, as always please reach out to me by direct message on Instagram, @rickmulready.
Today I have a longer episode for you instead of the shorter Quick Tip episode that usually publishes on Friday. I invited my close friend Mel Abraham onto the show to give his perspective on the current events that are happening, and what we can do as business owners to survive, and thrive, in these times.
In this conversation Mel and I cover a lot of topics, including what we both think of selling to your audience right now, the opportunities that exist for us entrepreneurs to help the economy, plus his tips for navigating your short-term finances, long-term planning, and much more.
Remember, like I said on the last episode, if you don’t know how to act or feel right now – it’s ok! You are not alone.
If you have a topic that you’d like me to cover on the podcast, as always please reach out to me by direct message on Instagram, @rickmulready.
Just last week I had my Accelerator live event, and I’m so grateful we came together as a group to discuss the challenges, and opportunities, that exist today. It’s taken me a few days to gather my thoughts about everything that’s going on in the world right now, but that live event reminded me that we’re all in this together, and we will get through these uncertain times and be stronger (and better) for it.
I wanted to record this episode to give you some ideas about how you can lean in even more right now and authentically serve your audience from a place of love and service. It’s not going to be easy, but I truly believe that together we’ve got this!
Look for more podcast episodes and daily Facebook Lives that I’ll be doing to talk more about the current situation we face, and to offer my support to each and every one of you any way that I can.

Today I’m excited to be talking about how to systematize your online business so that you can not only scale it, but also to be able to take time away from your business. The key though is for you to be able to do this and still generate revenue while you’re away – and not have everything in your business fall apart! Joining me to share her expertise in this area is Sarah Noked, who’s an expert in helping online business owners scale their businesses using things like automation, systems, processes and team building.
In this episode we dive deep into the 5 ways to use systems and teams to scale your online business, what a “virtual office” is, and why it’s a must have in your business. Sarah reveals the tools and strategies she uses in her own business, and so much more.
Regardless of where you are at in your business right now, I’m certain that you are going to hear something today that you can immediately implement into your own business so that you can take a step away – and still have it flourish!

In today’s Quick Tip I’m sharing what’s working right now for me with the setup of my Facebook and Instagram ads!

What I love most about Facebook and Instagram ads is that when you use them to grow an online business, they are a source of predictable leads and sales. That is the foundation of a scalable business, especially when combined with your organic efforts, such as social media, a podcast, blog or YouTube channel. What hold so many people from running ads though is the fear of losing money (and/or time!) and not having any results to show for it. Today’s guest is Nicole Burke, and you’re going to get a lot from her story of how she overcame this fear to run ads, and after figuring them out, she is now off to the races!
In addition to running a brick and mortar business called Rooted Garden, which she started with only $400 and grew it to 6-figures in just one year, Nicole is the founder of Gardenary, the online platform that connects beginner and learning gardeners with experienced gardeners through courses, workshops, and garden coaching. Most of our conversation focuses on this business, and how Nicole grew it to over 6-figures as well, without the use of ads and by using super smart organic strategies, especially on Instagram.
Now that Nicole has shifted her mindset on paid ads and is seeing great success by using them, the sky is the limit for her and I’m so excited to be sharing this conversation with you today. I hope you can use these lessons to grow your business, and let us Nicole and I know how the strategies she revealed work for you!
Be on the lookout for my brand new live training on Facebook Pixels that is happening on March 23rd. This workshop is more for someone who is basic to intermediate, not advanced, and you won’t want to miss what I have to teach in this one.

Today you’re going to hear a conversation I had with an Accelerator Mastermind student, and brilliant entrepreneur, Jamie Sears. Jamie creates resources, training and courses for teachers, as well as teacher entrepreneurs, and she’s learned so many valuable lessons of the past few years that I knew I had to bring her on the podcast to share them with you.
Jamie reveals how she turned a hobby into a super successful business, and the mindset shifts she had to make along the way that contributed to her doing this. We look at how she has completely changed the way she thinks about paid advertising, the way she grew her email list from 6,000 to 36,000 people over the course of just one single summer, her process for creating content, and so much more.
Jamie is a great example of someone who has committed to doing what’s hard in business, and not just the easy stuff, and it’s really paid off and allowed her to stand out in her niche. I really think you’re going to get a lot out of this talk I had with Jamie!

If you listened to last week’s episode, you heard the first part of a two-part mini-series featuring my friend Brandon Lucero. I have a feeling you’re going to love this one too, because today Brandon is diving deeper into how to create content that not only attracts and resonates with your target audience, but gets them to take action.
We all know the online business space can be crowded, but what Brandon reveals will help you create content that really stands out. It will allow you to build a following that connects with you on so many levels, and one that ultimately wants to support you and your business.
Last week Brandon talked about where online marketers are going wrong with the content they create and share, and this week’s episode is tactical. He’ll be offering the solutions to the common issues that exist, and shares how to create the most powerful content that you’ve ever created in your business.
As I’ve been talking about, Brandon has a 6-part video series being released soon, February 19th, that I want to encourage you to sign up for.

As I mentioned on the previous two episodes, I’m going to be spending a lot of time over the next while talking about how to create content that not only attracts and resonates with your target audience, but also gets them to take action. In fact, this is something I’m working on myself, and I’ll be sharing case studies and experiences from my own business, as well as conversations with experts like today’s special guest. This episode is the first part of a two-part mini series with my good friend, content and messaging expert Brandon Lucero.
You’re going to hear the reasons why “how-to” content is only going to get you so far in building your online business right now, and Brandon refers to the new period we are entering as the “new generation” of content.
Brandon is going to reveal how to avoid being boring with your content, and he shares examples of how he is doing it, as well as others who are building massive brands and businesses online (without releasing any “how-to” content).
He explains what should be the foundation of your content strategy, the four things content should be doing for your business, and you’ll get a sneak peek into the exciting second half of our conversation that will be airing next week. You’ll want to tune into that one too, because I’m not exaggerating when I say that it is probably one of the very best episodes I have ever recorded for the podcast!

For today’s show I decided to reach back in the archives and share an encore of an episode from 2017, with my good friend Jasmine Star.
Jasmine is a marketing strategist and branding expert, and in this episode she shared a case study and gave us the 3 components of a Facebook Video Ad that had been giving her the best results for her online business.
Even though this conversation was recorded almost 3 years ago and newer apps and tools have come out since then, the concepts Jasmine talks about are still very much relevant today.
This episode today goes along well with a series I have coming soon, where I’ll be looking at how to create content that not only resonates with your audience and attracts them to you, but gets them to take action!

As you’ll hear, Jasmine is now very intentional with everything she does, but she wasn’t always that way. It was interesting to listen to her talk about her journey, because it’s when she did get highly strategic and focused that things really took off for her with her business.
