| So you want to keep your group INTIMATE? (Ep 43) | 13 Jan 2025 | 00:01:40 | |
In this episode of the Rave Results podcast, I’m diving into my mission for 2025: helping more people by scaling group programs in a way that’s not just profitable but *impactful*. I’m exploring the idea that we’re all “Made for More” and reflecting on my own experience scaling groups—whether they’re big or small—and the unique challenges that come with both. We’re talking about everything from the benefits and hurdles of small vs. large group programs to creating engaging experiences, making them financially viable, and designing curriculums that truly deliver results. I’m also breaking down myths around group size and sharing insights on overcoming common challenges—like low energy and over-reliance on the leader in smaller groups, or managing engagement and dynamics in bigger ones.
