212: The Recurring Revenue Model Used by 20,000+ Entrepreneurs with Stu McLaren
Jan 2200:59:47Tap to summarizeIf your revenue resets every month, growth is harder to predict, and harder to scale. That's why so many companies are moving toward a membership model.

Stu McLaren has helped more than 20,000 entrepreneurs to launch, grow, and scale membership-based businesses across nearly every industry imaginable—and in this conversation, he breaks down how to identify where recurring revenue already exists in your business and how to structure it into a membership that actually works. Stu also shares the single biggest factor that determines whether members stay or leave in the first 30 days. Don't miss it!

Jan 1500:55:14Tap to summarizePhysical security is a brutally competitive, commoditized industry. Most companies look the same, act the same, and sell for the same. Will Duke did things differently. And when it came time to sell, buyers lined up. He didn't just exit the core business. Along the way, Will built an internal software platform to manage and track thousands of security devices for customers. That platform eventually became its own SaaS company, and both businesses were sold as part of the same exit, at roughly double market value. In this episode, we break down how he differentiated in a crowded market, what actually mattered during the sale, and his repeatable process for investing smartly after an exit. If you want to understand what actually drives valuation, and why buyers were willing to pay a premium for Will's business, this episode is definitely worth your time.

In this episode of Beyond A Million, Chandler Bolt returns to share how one book helped drive $7 million in revenue, not from royalties, but from its deep integration into every corner of his business. The founder of Self Publishing School and author of Published, breaks down the real strategy behind writing books that generate leads, close sales, and onboard employees at scale.

Jul 24, 202501:09:44Tap to summarizeWhat does it really take to build a podcast that reaches hundreds of millions of people? In this episode, Brad sits down with Rob Dial – creator of The Mindset Mentor podcast, which has racked up over 400 million downloads – to dig into how he’s turned coaching into a real business.
