Marketing #Unfiltered – Details, episodes & analysis

Selling in 2026 doesn’t have to mean another 1:1 offer, course, or mastermind.

In this episode of Marketing Unfiltered, I’m giving you permission to think outside the box when it comes to how you sell — and walking you through six creative categories of offers coaches are using right now to generate revenue without burning out.

If you’ve felt boxed in by traditional coaching models, this episode will help you rethink what’s possible.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why coaches don’t need to rely solely on 1:1 coaching, courses, or memberships anymore
• How to sell visibility, proximity, speed, and insight — not just transformations
• Creative offer ideas like Q&A memberships, office hours passes, laser coaching, and private audio feeds
• How to reimagine VIP days with 48–72 hour sprints
• Ways to monetize your ecosystem through affiliates, licensing, and partnerships
• Trend memberships and industry insight offers that position you as the go-to expert
• How to choose offers that align with how you actually want to work in 2026

This episode is meant to spark ideas — and I think it will!

AI has changed the business landscape — fast.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I’m thinking about AI as we move into 2026, especially after a year that felt harder than expected for a lot of coaches, consultants, and service providers.

I walk you through three strategic ways I’m using AI in my own business — not as a gimmick, but as a core part of my offers, systems, and decision-making.

In this episode, I cover:

1. Why AI has temporarily shifted how people value coaching and services
2. How I use AI as a speed filter across my offers
3. Where AI has replaced certain team tasks — without lowering quality
4. My favorite AI prompt for quality control and decision-making
5. Why “just using ChatGPT to write emails” isn’t enough anymore

This isn’t about doing everything with AI.

It’s about using it intentionally so you don’t get left behind.

If you're carrying around everything in your business like it's all on you—feeling guilty about delegating, worried no one will do it right, or just stuck doing it all yourself—this episode is for you.

That's why I brought Natta Salvatore to Marketing #Unfiltered to talk about delegation in a way that actually works (not just in theory).

We cover:

➡️ The number one step you absolutely must take before delegating effectively 

➡️ Natta's 5-step process for delegation that actually gets results 

➡️ Why delegation matters so much (and what happens when you don't) 

➡️ How AI can support your delegation process 

➡️ The most genius AI strategy I've ever heard (seriously, I'm building this right now)

Fair warning: The AI tip Natta shares isn't directly about delegation, but it's so brilliant I couldn't stop thinking about it. I immediately started implementing it in my own business.

If you've ever thought "it's just easier to do it myself" or felt guilty asking your team to take things off your plate, this conversation will shift how you think about delegation entirely.

Jessica Buchanan is an American woman from Ohio who was kidnapped on October 25th, 2011.

She was abducted by Somali parities and held for ransom for 93 days before Seal Team 6 rescued her on January 5th, 2012. 

This is a story about knowing who you are; speaking up when something doesn’t feel right; the tremendous courage it takes to experience a worst case scenario and still try to make something good come out of it; healing; and using your voice to help others do the same.

After 10 years since her abduction, Jessica supports women in writing their manuscript through her and putting their story out into the world. 

In this episode Jessica also shares why she helps people like you get their book out into the world and the practical — as well as emotional — benefits of doing so. 

So if you can believe it — we share this insanely powerful story, and then still manage to get some marketing tips in!  You can’t say I’m not committed to your marketing 😉
