Dan Andrews founded the [Dynamite Circle] (https://dynamitecircle.com/) and [Dynamite Jobs] (https://dynamitejobs.com/) and is now a repeat guest. Dan was first on the show in episode #32 in November 2020. I've been listening to Dan's podcast, Tropical MBA, since 2014, and that was 5 years after they started. Tropical MBA started as a podcast for location-independent entrepreneurs and has grown into a thriving global community. The Dynamite Circle is a paid membership community that Dan and his partner, Ian, built from the podcast's success. It has more than 1,000 members, dozens of local meetups, and 5 signature events throughout the year; the Dynamite Circle has continued to innovate as a member-led community. This is a 2 part episode. The second half of this conversation can be found on Dan's podcast, Tropical MBA, and will be released on Thursday. → [Subscribe to Tropical MBA] (https://creatorscience.co/re231-tropicalmba) → [Join The Lab] (https://join.creatorscience.com/) [Full transcript and show notes] (https://podcast.creatorscience.com/dan-andrews-2) Dan's [Website] (https://tropicalmba.com/) / [Twitter] (https://x.com/TropicalMBA) / [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/tropicalmba/) / [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/@OfficialTropicalMBA/featured) *** RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODE → [#32: Dan Andrews – Helping location independent entrepreneurs build businesses and find community] (https://creatorscience.co/re232) *** ASK CREATOR SCIENCE → [Submit your question here] (https://creatorscience.co/6a0k8x) *** WHEN YOU'RE READY 📬 [Creator Science Newsletter] (https://creatorscience.co/9xpp72) 🚀 [Get CreatorHQ] (https://creatorscience.co/q0zcez) (creator operating system) 🧪 [Join The Lab] (https://creatorscience.co/z0zz2a) (private membership community) 🧞‍♂️ [Get a Personalized Offer] (https://creatorscience.co/wc8146) *** CONNECT 🐦 [Connect on Twitter] (https://creatorscience.co/jiwgqf) 📸 [Connect on Instagram] (https://creatorscience.co/z4lpr7) 💼 [Connect on LinkedIn] (https://creatorscience.co/3emhoq) 📹 [Subscribe on YouTube] (https://creatorscience.co/mude88) *** SPONSORS 💼 [View all sponsors and offers] (https://creatorscience.co/yo3xu1) *** SAY THANKS 💜 [Leave a review on Apple Podcasts] (https://creatorscience.co/3snrda) 🟢 [Leave a rating on Spotify] (https://creatorscience.co/swrtiw) ...

YouTubers keep a lot of secrets, but that's not really my style. So last week, I asked my audience for questions that creators are typically too afraid to answer. How much does this channel make?

#225: Jonny Miller – $800,000+ from six cohorts of his signature course

Jonny Miller is the creator of Nervous System Mastery. It teaches evidence-backed protocols to cultivate calm, build resilience, and increase aliveness in 45 days. It’s a five-week, cohort-based course that is just wrapping up its sixth cohort in the last three years. In those six cohorts, Jonny has served nearly 1,000 students and earned more than $800,000. Here’s the best part – Jonny doesn’t have a massive audience. When he launched Nervous System Mastery, he had a couple thousand followers on Twitter and a small email list. This is the magic of a well-designed Signature Product – and Jonny is the perfect example. In this episode, we get into the weeds about how he’s grown NSM – what’s worked well, what hasn’t, and how he’s found himself on large podcasts with people like Lenny Rachitsky, Ali Abdaal, Chris Williamson, and more. → [Join Nervous System Mastery] (https://www.nsmastery.com/) [Full transcript and show notes] (https://podcast.creatorscience.com/jonny-miller) Jonny's [Website] (https://www.jonnymiller.co/) / [Twitter] (https://x.com/jonnym1ller) / [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/jonnym1ller/) / [LinkedIn] (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jonnym1ller) *** RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODE → [#221: Ryan Hawk – Anatomy of a $12,500 membership earning $400,000+ per year] (https://creatorscience.co/re225) *** ASK CREATOR SCIENCE → [Submit your question here] (https://creatorscience.co/6a0k8x) *** WHEN YOU'RE READY 📬 [Creator Science Newsletter] (https://creatorscience.co/9xpp72) 🚀 [Get CreatorHQ] (https://creatorscience.co/q0zcez) (creator operating system) 🧪 [Join The Lab] (https://creatorscience.co/z0zz2a) (private membership community) 🧞‍♂️ [Get a Personalized Offer] (https://creatorscience.co/wc8146) *** CONNECT 🐦 [Connect on Twitter] (https://creatorscience.co/jiwgqf) 📸 [Connect on Instagram] (https://creatorscience.co/z4lpr7) 💼 [Connect on LinkedIn] (https://creatorscience.co/3emhoq) 📹 [Subscribe on YouTube] (https://creatorscience.co/mude88) *** SPONSORS 💼 [View all sponsors and offers] (https://creatorscience.co/yo3xu1) *** SAY THANKS 💜 [Leave a review on Apple Podcasts] (https://creatorscience.co/3snrda) 🟢 [Leave a rating on Spotify] (https://creatorscience.co/swrtiw) ...

Ryan Hawk is a keynote speaker and the host of the Learning Leader Show. The show has been listened to by millions of people in more than 150 countries, and Forbes called it, “the most dynamic leadership podcast around.” He’s also the author of Welcome to Management: How To Grow From Top Performer To Excellent Leader. Ryan is actually a repeat guest—he was first on the show in episode #61 to talk about his podcasting journey. He’s become a friend and someone I really admire for his intentionality and the way he shows up for others—his friends, his family, and his community. Ryan’s business isn’t built on podcast advertising, as one may expect. It’s actually built on what he calls Leadership CIRCLES. These are groups of 10-15 people that he hand-selects for a group learning experience. They meet once per month on Zoom and once per year in person. In this episode, Ryan breaks down the specifics of how he runs these programs, prices them, and plans to grow them. We even workshop some of his questions on the fly. → [Listen to my first episode with Ryan] (https://episodes.fm/1498801064/episode/YThhNzZhMTQtNmVkMC0xMWViLWFjOWEtMGZiZDQ5ZDVlY2U1) → [Join The Lab] (https://creatorscience.co/ryan-hawk-sn) [Full transcript and show notes] (https://podcast.creatorscience.com/ryan-hawk-2) Ryan's [Website] (https://learningleader.com/) / [Twitter] (https://x.com/RyanHawk12) / [Instagram] (https://www.instagram.com/ryanhawk12/) / [Facebook] (https://www.facebook.com/TheLearningLeaderShow/) / [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/@RyanHawk) / [LinkedIn] (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryanhawk12/) *** RECOMMENDED NEXT EPISODE → [#187: Michael Stelzner – How to run profitable events (without sponsors or selling from the stage)] (https://creatorscience.co/re22101) → [#144: Bari Baumgardner – How to create the perfect 3-day event (IRL or virtually)] (https://creatorscience.co/re22102) → [#206: How I’d approach hosting in-person events] (https://creatorscience.co/re22103) *** ASK CREATOR SCIENCE → [Submit your question here] (https://creatorscience.co/6a0k8x) *** WHEN YOU'RE READY 📬 [Creator Science Newsletter] (https://creatorscience.co/9xpp72) 🚀 [Get CreatorHQ] (https://creatorscience.co/q0zcez) (creator operating system) 🧪 [Join The Lab] (https://creatorscience.co/z0zz2a) (private membership community) 🧞‍♂️ [Get a Personalized Offer] (https://creatorscience.co/wc8146) *** CONNECT 🐦 [Connect on Twitter] (https://creatorscience.co/jiwgqf) 📸 [Connect on Instagram] (https://creatorscience.co/z4lpr7) 💼 [Connect on LinkedIn] (https://creatorscience.co/3emhoq) 📹 [Subscribe on YouTube] (https://creatorscience.co/mude88) *** SPONSORS 💼 [View all sponsors and offers] (https://creatorscience.co/yo3xu1) *** SAY THANKS 💜 [Leave a review on Apple Podcasts] (https://creatorscience.co/3snrda) 🟢 [Leave a rating on Spotify] (https://creatorscience.co/swrtiw) ...

#219: Robin Dreeke – How to earn someone’s trust (from a former FBI special agent)

Robin Dreeke is a human behavior expert, best-selling author, and professional speaker with a pretty incredible background. As a Marine Corps Officer and retired FBI Special Agent, he served as Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, where he honed his skills in recruiting spies. He literally built relationships with citizens of other countries, earned their trust, and convinced them to become spies FOR the United States intelligence.

#217: Chase Jarvis – Thinking bigger and taking more risks as a creator

Chase Jarvis is an American photographer, director, artist, and entrepreneur. From April 2014 until July 2022 Jarvis was the chief executive officer of CreativeLive, an online education platform that he co-founded in 2010. I’ve been a long-time listener of Chase’s podcast, the Chase Jarvis Live Show, and actually wrote him down as one of my ideal podcast guests when I started this show all the way back in 2020. So this is a full circle moment for me. This week, Chase is releasing his newest book, [Never Play It Safe – A Practical Guide to Freedom, Creativity, and a Life You Want] (https://chasejarvis.com/never-play-it-safe/) . I’ve pre-ordered my copy and I’ve read the first chapter, and recommend you do the same. This conversation is about thinking bigger, taking risks, and getting out of your own way. I left feeling more relaxed, inspired, and fully recharged. I hope you do, too.
