At 17, three knee injuries ended Sam Demma's dream of playing professional soccer. He felt like he had "wasted his entire life."

Today? 1 million followers, thousands of schools reached, and a phone call from someone who believed in him more than he believed in himself changed everything.

Sam Demma went from feeling like a "complete failure" after three knee injuries destroyed his soccer dreams to becoming one of the most in-demand youth speakers in North America - with over 1 million followers built in just 6 months.

In this conversation, Sam reveals:

• How he dealt with the identity crisis of losing his dream at 17

• The "delusional" cold-calling strategy that launched his speaking career

• The phone call that almost broke him - and the friend who saved him

• What 6 weeks in Kenya taught him about happiness

• The $13,000 overnight fundraiser that brought his story full circle

• The exact content system that grew his following from 0 to 1 million in 6 months

I just watched a video that was teaching the entrepreneurial market about growing membership sites. The video was full of skepticism and all kinds of limiting beliefs, and it was holding back everyone who watched it.

If you listened to episode #84 of the podcast, titled The Super Surprise, then you know how my wife and I love to orchestrate a super surprise for somebody that we love, whether it's a family member or a friend, and create an amazing experience for them.

This time we teamed up with my sister and brother-in-law to do another super surprise as an early Christmas present for my parents. My parents are huge Toronto Raptors fans, and I saw an opportunity to get courtside tickets for the game.

I love being a buyer as much as I love being a seller. After purchasing the tickets, I landed on a thank you page that sent my mind swirling. It had a really simple offer that said, "Thank you for your purchase. Your purchase unlocks a free trial from Harry's Razors. Get a razor five-blade cartridge and shave gel for just $3 shipping. Learn more." Instead of just saying, "Hey, thank you for your purchase", they found a way to continue the relationship.

There is real estate that you and I have in this virtual world of ours that we are not utilizing. In this episode, I am going to give you three areas of opportunity on thank you pages that I want you to think about and leverage.

Launches are changing and evolving all the time, and the types of launches that we do now are dramatically different than the launches that we used to do back then.
