  1. 277: Your Lead Magnet PDF Is Dead. Here's What's Replacing It from Creator's MBA: Marketing Tips for Digital Product Entrepreneurs, opens in a new tab

    Jul 10, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Your best PDF is sitting in someone's downloads folder right now, unread. Not because it's bad. Because nobody wants more homework. This episode kicks off Beyond the PDF, my free event, with a look at more than two dozen creators who ditched the static download and built interactive lead magnets instead. Some are converting over 50%. And here's how I made it: I dropped every contributor story into NotebookLM and had it turn them into a two-host deep dive. In this episode: - Why the PDF worked for 20 years and what finally broke it - Why information being free changes what people will trade their email for - Claude artifacts, custom GPTs, and installable AI skills that do the work for your subscriber - Why diagnostic quizzes convert so well, and how to segment every person who takes one - Interactive calculators that let a B2B buyer close their own deal - The low-tech format that converted at over 51% with no AI The takeaway: stop asking your audience to read. Start helping them do. Sign up for Beyond the PDF (free, July 13-31) and build your own modern lead magnet during Get It Done Week, July 27-31: https://lab.destinicopp.com/beyond-pdf-registration

    Jun 22, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail The best decision I've ever made in my business wasn't a course or a tool. It was joining a small room of people who actually get it. In this episode I walk through why a curated peer mastermind changed how it feels to run my business, and why it's almost never the thing people assume it is. In this episode: - Why the big decisions get lonelier as your business grows - What changes when you stop deciding alone - The hot seat, and why you can't do it for yourself - Why curation is the whole product, and what it actually means - The real cost of staying in a room of one Resources mentioned: - The Creator's MBA Council: https://lab.destinicopp.com/council - The full article on this topic: https://destinicopp.com/blog/curated-peer-mastermind Not ready to apply?

    Jun 11, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail This month I took my entire business apart. Sales pages, offers, what I was promoting, what I was spending money and time on. All of it went on the table. In this behind-the-scenes episode, I walk you through the full rebuild using my own Creator Growth Flywheel. I share where I think the market is headed, why the human element is the one thing AI can't replace, and how that belief is reshaping my events, my offers, and what I chose to cut. In this episode: - Why this rebuild is about where the market is going, not a one-time cleanup - The one thing AI can't replace, and how I'm building around it - A walk through all five flywheel stages: Attract, Engage, Nurture, Retain, Advocate - Why I'm going all in on live events - How I'm rebuilding my lead magnets backwards from the offer - The offer overhaul: the AI Mastermind repositioning, the new Council, and Revenue Stack Studio - How I used AI to build personalized affiliate pages in my partners' own voice - What I cut, including Pinterest and the HelloContent store, and why Your turn: - Got a question or want a hot seat on a future episode?

    Jun 2, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Most conversations about AI automation stay theoretical. This one doesn't. I sat down with my peer mastermind, a group we call the Weird Hermits, for a roundtable on MCPs in Claude, also called connectors. These are the tools that let your AI plug straight into the software you already use, like Kit, Airtable, Meta Ads, Shopify, and even Instacart. Six of us walked through exactly what we have running right now, and what it has replaced. In this episode: What an MCP actually is, in plain language How the Kit connector surfaces subscriber data you couldn't see before The "drop a CSV and walk away" membership dashboard workflow Live artifacts that pull fresh data every time you open them Reading Meta ad performance without ever touching Ads Manager Skills and scheduled tasks that run your content, support, and reporting for you The personal-life automations we probably shouldn't admit to (banking, meal plans, groceries) If you have been meaning to get your time back, this is the episode to take notes on.

  5. 273: How Savannah Gilbo Cloned Herself With AI (And Got Her Calendar Back) from Creator's MBA: Marketing Tips for Digital Product Entrepreneurs, opens in a new tab

    May 6, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Most digital product creators assume that scaling means hiring more team members. More support staff, more coaches on calls, more people to manage. My guest today took a completely different path. After Savannah Gilbo's best launch ever brought in almost 200 new students, her live coaching calls were running 30 minutes over. Her membership deliverables doubled. She was burning out fast. Instead of building a team, we built her an AI clone together. In this episode, Savannah and I walk through exactly what broke after her biggest launch, the options she considered (and why hiring more people felt worse, not better), the triage framework that made her AI clone actually coach like her instead of giving generic AI answers, and what her students are saying now that they're using it. If you've been curious about AI clones for your business but worried about whether it would actually work for your niche, sound like you, or feel right for your audience, this episode is for you. What we cover: The breaking point that made Savannah look for a solution Why she ruled out hiring a community manager or student ambassadors The fear that almost stopped her from building an AI clone in her niche The triage framework that transformed how her AI handles student questions What 10-15 beta testers in her membership did with the clone (one had a 400-message conversation) How students are now using the clone before office hours (and why this changed everything) What this freed up for Savannah, mentally and emotionally Her advice for creators on the fence Connect with Savannah Gilbo: Website: https://www.savannahgilbo.com/ This 30-Second Quiz Reveals Your Author Success Blueprint: https://www.savannahgilbo.com/quiz Connect with Destini: Website: destinicopp.com Creator's MBA Mastermind: mastermind.destinicopp.com Newsletter Profit Club: https://lab.destinicopp.com/newsletter-profit-club

  6. 272: She Has 13K Subscribers and 40% Open Rates — So Why Aren't They Buying? from Creator's MBA: Marketing Tips for Digital Product Entrepreneurs, opens in a new tab

    Apr 28, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Hosted by Dr. Destini Copp · Creator's MBA What do you do when you have a genuinely engaged email list — great open rates, consistent click-throughs — but your subscribers just won't buy? That's exactly what today's guest, Allie from Allie Scraps, was dealing with. She has 13,000 subscribers, 40%+ open rates, and three to five percent click-through rates. By every metric, that's a healthy list. But she accidentally trained her audience to expect freebies, and now converting them into buyers feels impossible. In this hot seat episode, I walk Allie through a full strategy reset — from newsletter structure and content planning to sponsorships, offer pricing, and whether a membership is the right next move for a B2C creator in the crafting space. If you've ever felt like your list loves you but won't pay you, this one's for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why the "freebie trap" happens — and the mindset shift that breaks the cycle The Mini Magazine Method for structuring your newsletter into three to five consistent sections so you always have something to send Why you should build your content around your promo calendar — not the other way around The Teach & Pitch Method : how to create a reader journey that naturally leads to a purchase How to use sponsorships and affiliate promotions to monetize a B2C newsletter list What types of offers actually work in a B2C crafting niche (hint: not $2,000 programs) Why memberships can be a strong revenue play — and what makes them work in the crafting space How to start segmenting your list into audience personas and why it matters for long-term revenue The AI automation system inside Newsletter Profit Club that writes your weekly newsletter for you Resources Newsletter Profit Club — Destini's membership for newsletter creators who want to monetize Creator's MBA Mastermind — For digital product creators ready to build and grow Creator Business Scorecard — Free diagnostic tool for your creator business About Today's Guest — Allie Allie is the founder of Allie Scraps , a digital shop and creative community for scrapbooking, mixed media, and Bible journaling.

    Apr 25, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail This one's a little different. What you're about to hear is a recording straight from our Weird Hermits Roundtable, a mastermind group discussion where we got real about the stuff nobody likes to talk about publicly. Difficult clients. Refund requests. Payment plans that ghost you. Employees who snap. Customers who buy domain names to smear you. Yes, that actually happened. The conversation goes deep on what everyone's refund policies actually look like, the boundaries we've set after getting burned, and the mindset shifts that helped us stop letting this stuff live rent-free in our heads. In this episode, we cover: The wildest client situations from a room full of multi-year entrepreneurs (Jordan's story alone is worth the listen) Early warning signs that a client might be trouble — and the one pattern that keeps coming up How to build refund policies that protect your business AND feel right to you Why having a written policy is actually the kindest thing you can do (for everyone) What to do when payment plans ghost you — and the mindset shift that makes it manageable How to regulate yourself when ad comments or nasty emails make you want to lose it The "What Would Destini Do?" framework for navigating messy business moments with boundaries and grace Mentioned in this episode: What Would Destini Do?

    Apr 17, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail This is part two of a two-part roundtable with my peer mastermind group, the Weird Hermits — a small group of women entrepreneurs who have been in each other's corners for years. In this episode, we go deep on the specific ways we're each using Claude to run our businesses right now. We cover: what a Claude skill actually is (and how it compares to a custom GPT), the difference between Claude Chat, Cowork, and Code, and the real workflows we're using — from morning briefings and newsletter automation to dynamic landing pages that update themselves and idea management via Dispatch. You'll hear from Monica Froese (Empowered Business), Kate Kordsmeier (Success with Soul), Liz Stapleton ( Creator Ops Hub), Jodi Bourne (Borne Strategic AI), Steph Blake (automation & business strategy), and Ruth Poundwhite. We close with a challenge and free resource from each of us. If you have access to the transcript, drop it into Claude and ask how these workflows would apply to your business. You'll be surprised what comes back. In This Episode: What finally made us switch from ChatGPT to Claude (and why) What a Claude skill is and why it's more powerful than a custom GPT Claude Chat vs. Cowork vs. Code — the honest breakdown Real use cases: dynamic pages, newsletter automation, morning briefings, Shopify scraping, Kit cleanup tools, competitor intelligence reports The cognitive load case for AI (Ruth's perspective is gold) One challenge + one free resource from each person in the group Resources Mentioned: Monica's free Skool community → Empowered AI Collective (affiliate link) Kate's Claude social media free tool Destini's Creator Business Scorecard Liz's 10-Minute Time Waster Audit Jodi's Visibility Scorecard Steph's automation workflow swipe file Ruth's cognitive load Claude starter guide

I joined Ruth Poundwhite, Monica Froese, Kate Kordsmeier, and Jodi Bourne — all members of our mastermind group, the Weird Hermits — for a candid roundtable about the shift that's been happening in all of our businesses: moving from ChatGPT to Claude. We're talking real workflows, real results, and the specific features that made us all say "wait — what just happened?" In this episode: The real differences between ChatGPT and Claude (and why most of us barely use ChatGPT anymore) How Claude's skills feature works — and how to stack skills in one conversation What Claude Cowork actually is and what we're delegating to it completely Monica's 30-page branded workbook in 2 minutes, Jodi's automated SEO audit on a 60-page website, Kate's speaker notes that sound exactly like her Two easy ways to build a skill from scratch Free gifts from our guests: 🎁 Ruth's AI Support Team 🎁 Monica's Empowered AI Collective™ (affiliate) 🎁 Kate's Scale Smart with AI 🎁 Jodi's AI Services 🎁 Destini's Growth Bottleneck Quiz Other links mentioned: Claude AI Facebook Community Gamma App (affiliate) 📬 Join the Creator's MBA newsletter: signup.destinicopp.com

  10. 268: Capturing Testimonials: The Hot Capture Method from Creator's MBA: Marketing Tips for Digital Product Entrepreneurs, opens in a new tab

    Apr 15, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail You're doing everything right — attracting, engaging, nurturing, and retaining your audience. But when it comes to collecting testimonials, you hit a wall. Sound familiar? In this episode, I'm answering a question from listener, Johnna Kirk, who gets great feedback in her inbox and on social media but can't get anyone to fill out her Senja or Tally form. Here's the thing: the problem isn't the form. It's the gap between when the emotion happens and when you ask them to capture it. I call the fix the Hot Capture Method, and it's one of the simplest shifts you can make in your creator business. In this episode, you'll learn: Why sending a form link kills the momentum (and what to do instead) The one-question reply that turns an email into a testimonial instantly How to build trigger points into your customer journey so testimonials happen automatically How to get video testimonials from people who would otherwise never record one How to build a testimonial library organized by offer so you're never scrambling before a launch This is part of our ongoing Creator Business Diagnosis series, where I break down real challenges using the Creator Growth Flywheel framework.

    Apr 14, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail What if the next person to buy your product isn't a person at all? In this episode, I'm doing something a little different. I recently published an article called The New Buyer You're Not Optimizing For — and I thought the best way to bring it to life was to share this AI-generated audio conversation I created with NotebookLM. Two AI hosts break down the key research findings in a way that's easy to digest on a commute or walk. Here's what you'll hear covered in this conversation: → Why AI shopping agents like ChatGPT's Agent Mode, Google's "Buy for Me," and Amazon's Rufus are already buying products on behalf of real customers — right now, not someday → The single title change that led to an 80 percentage point increase in AI agent selection (Columbia & Yale research) → Why "Sponsored" labels now actively hurt your chances of being chosen by AI agents → How a 0.1 increase in product ratings can be the deciding factor between you and a competitor → The 5-step listing audit every digital creator should do — especially if you sell on Shopify, Etsy, or any course platform → Why clever brand-forward product names are essentially invisible to AI agents — and what to do instead → How to manage this as a quarterly system rather than a constant scramble The bottom line: the algorithm is now the gatekeeper to the human wallet. An afternoon spent rewriting your product titles today could be the reason an AI selects your product six months from now. 📖 Read the full article + 5-step audit: https://www.destinicopp.com/blog/the-new-buyer-youre-not-optimizing-for 📊 Take the free Creator Business Scorecard: https://scorecard.destinicopp.com 🎙️ Audio overview generated with NotebookLM based on original research and analysis by Dr. Destini Copp.

  12. 266: What Dave Ramsey's Business Model Taught Me About Selling Digital Products from Creator's MBA: Marketing Tips for Digital Product Entrepreneurs, opens in a new tab

    Mar 16, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Most digital product creators are building a collection of offers. The ones who build businesses that last are doing something different — they're building around a framework. In this episode, I use Dave Ramsey's business model as a case study to break down why framework-driven businesses outperform tactic-driven ones — and what that means for your digital product business specifically. You'll walk away with four questions to help you surface the framework that's probably already embedded in your work, plus a clear picture of how one framework can generate a full product ecosystem at every price point. If you've ever felt like your products don't quite connect — or like you're always guessing what to build next — this episode is for you. In this episode: Why Ramsey's real product isn't financial advice — it's a framework How one framework creates a natural product ladder (free → low-cost → core offer → membership → coaching) Why your buyers can't find their next step, and how a framework fixes it The Creator Growth Flywheel and how it organizes everything in my own business 4 questions to find the framework you already have Connect With Destini: Website LinkedIn Join Creator's MBA newsletter

    Mar 11, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Is the newsletter market already too crowded… or are we just getting started? In this episode, I brought together a group of experienced newsletter operators for a candid roundtable conversation about what’s really happening in the newsletter space right now. From creators running paid newsletters to founders using email to power entire businesses, this group brought a wide range of perspectives—and a lot of honest opinions. We dove into the questions many creators are quietly asking themselves: Is it still worth starting or growing a newsletter today? What’s actually working when it comes to growing and monetizing a list? And how are successful operators thinking about the future of email in a world full of AI, social platforms, and changing content habits? This conversation went in some fascinating directions—from unexpected list growth strategies to surprising monetization approaches and even predictions about where the newsletter industry may be headed next. What You’ll Learn The question many creators are asking about newsletters right now Different ways newsletter operators are growing their audiences today Creative approaches to monetizing newsletters beyond traditional launches How other platforms like YouTube and podcasts can support newsletter growth Why personality-driven content is becoming more important than ever Emerging trends that could reshape the future of newsletters If you’re running a newsletter, thinking about starting one, or simply curious about where the creator economy is heading, you’ll love this behind-the-scenes conversation with people actively building in the space.

  14. 264: 5 Big Lessons About AI, Newsletters, and Digital Business from the New Media Summit from Creator's MBA: Marketing Tips for Digital Product Entrepreneurs, opens in a new tab

    Mar 4, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever wondered whether newsletters still matter in an AI-driven world, this conversation might completely change the way you think about owned media, monetization, and the future of digital business. In this episode, I’m sharing a special roundtable conversation with a group of female founders who attended the New Media Summit in Austin with me. We unpack our 5 biggest takeaways...from AI clones and the future of content creation to why newsletters are becoming one of the most powerful owned assets in a digital business. One theme came up again and again: the importance of building platforms you actually own. Newsletters, communities, and direct audience relationships are becoming increasingly valuable as social media algorithms continue to shift. We also discuss how AI is rapidly transforming how creators produce content and scale their businesses. As one speaker shared, the question isn’t whether to use A, it’s how we’ll use it to maintain our competitive advantage. This conversation also reinforced something I’ve been teaching for years: newsletters are more than just marketing tools. They can become real products and meaningful revenue streams through sponsorships, partnerships, and advertising. What You’ll Learn Why newsletters are becoming one of the most valuable owned media assets in your business How AI tools like voice clones are changing podcasting and content creation The role paid advertising plays in growing large newsletter audiences Why community and human connection matter even more in an AI-driven world How founders are monetizing newsletters through sponsorships and partnerships A simple strategy for gathering audience data when people join your email list Why thinking of your newsletter as a product, not just a marketing tool, can change your revenue potential This conversation left me energized, not just about newsletters, but about the future of digital business. The biggest reminder? The tools may evolve, but we’re still serving real people. Listen in and let me know what takeaway resonated with you most.

    Feb 25, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Creator’s MBA podcast, I walk you through the nuances of where AI clones can add real value—and where they absolutely don’t belong. It’s easy to get swept up in the potential of automation, but being strategic about how (and if ) you use AI clones will make or break their impact on your business. I share real-world examples of when AI clones shine—especially for repeatable judgment calls and implementation support—and when they fall short, like in emotionally sensitive work or when your frameworks are still evolving. If you’ve been curious about whether AI clones are worth exploring, this episode will help you assess your readiness with clarity and confidence. What You’ll Learn The best use cases for AI clones in expert-based businesses Why repeatable judgment is key to AI clone success When access to you becomes the bottleneck—and how clones can help Why AI clones fail in emotionally nuanced or exploratory work The difference between judgment and creation (and why it matters) The hidden readiness factor most people overlook when building a clone How to decide if the AI Clone Lab is the right next step for you If you’ve been wondering, “Is an AI clone right for my business?”, this episode will give you the clarity you need. And if you’re ready to explore building your own, I share more about the AI Clone Implementation Lab I’m hosting in March—who it’s for, and who it’s not. 👉 Hit play now and let’s dig in.

  16. Bonus: Why Courses Aren’t Working Like They Used To (and What Replaces Them)

    Feb 19, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail Today’s episode is a little different. What you’re about to hear is the audio from a live session I taught yesterday called: “Why Courses Aren’t Working Like They Used To (and What Replaces Them).” I decided to share it here as a bonus episode because the conversation felt important. If you’ve ever thought: “My course used to sell… why does it feel harder now?” Or… “Why are buyers hesitating, even when the content is strong?” This session will likely hit home. In it, I break down what’s actually changed in the online education space, why information alone no longer converts the way it once did, and what buyers are really evaluating in 2026. More importantly, I walk through what replaces the old model — and how to evolve your delivery in a way that supports your students better and makes your offer easier to sell. This is an audio recording of a live teaching, so you’ll hear it in its raw format. No heavy edits. Just the session as it happened. If this resonates with you, and you want help applying this to your own course, membership, or coaching program, I’ll share a next step at the end. Alright — let’s get into it.

    Feb 18, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Creator’s MBA podcast, I’m breaking down one of the biggest fears experts have about AI clones: losing control of their IP or misrepresenting their work. If you’ve built a body of work you’re proud of—a real framework, clear philosophies, trusted judgment—then the idea of an AI speaking for you can feel risky. And I want to assure you: that fear is valid, and there’s a smart way to navigate it. I walk through how experts are using AI clones without diluting their authority or handing out their paid content. You’ll hear how responsible creators are setting boundaries, defining what their clones can and cannot do, and testing their systems the same way they would onboard a team member. If you've been intrigued by the idea of cloning your expertise but hesitant to move forward, this episode is a must-listen. What You’ll Learn Why the biggest concern isn’t theft—it’s misrepresentation How experts separate their judgment from their deliverables Smart boundaries that protect your tone, values, and voice Real examples of rules experts are building into their clones Why saying “I can’t help with that” is actually a trust-builder How to keep clones inside paid programs without exposing IP The difference between supporting decisions vs. teaching frameworks AI clones aren’t here to replace your brilliance. They’re here to help you apply it—consistently, at scale, and on your terms . This episode will help you assess whether you’re ready to take that step, and if so, how to do it with clarity and confidence. 🎧 Hit play to learn how to scale your judgment without losing your voice.

    Feb 11, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Creator’s MBA podcast, I unpack why even the best digital courses are struggling to support implementation today. You might have strong content, a clear framework, and students who are genuinely eager to learn—yet still see them get stuck. The problem isn’t you, your material, or your students. It’s that the course model was never built to support real-time decision-making in complex, ever-changing contexts. I’ll walk you through the real reason this mismatch is happening more often now, and why the solution isn’t always “add more content” or “go live more often.” You’ll hear how experienced learners, especially, need judgment-based guidance—not just information—and how new delivery models (including AI clones) are starting to fill that gap. What You’ll Learn Why traditional courses struggle with real-world implementation How learning and working have merged—and what that means for creators The difference between information transfer and context-based support Why live calls are helpful but still not enough The true scalability challenge behind coaching and hybrid models How AI clones are being used to support implementation (without replacing teaching) Why it’s not about teaching more —it’s about guiding better If you’ve ever wondered why your students “get it” during the lesson but freeze during implementation, this episode is for you. You’ll leave with a new lens for evaluating your delivery model—and a preview of how to bridge that gap more strategically. 🎧 Listen now to reimagine how your course can actually support the way people work and learn today.

  20. 259: What an AI Clone Actually Is from Creator's MBA: Marketing Tips for Digital Product Entrepreneurs, opens in a new tab

    Feb 5, 2026

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of the Creator’s MBA podcast, I’m demystifying what an AI clone actually is—and how it’s very different from a chatbot or a custom GPT. There’s a lot of hype out there right now, and while those tools have their place, an AI clone serves a completely different function in your business. We’ll walk through how clones are built to apply your unique way of thinking —not just spit out generic answers. I share how they can support your clients when you’re not in the room, and why they only work when your frameworks are already clear and stable. If you’ve been wondering whether a clone could help reduce bottlenecks or improve implementation in your programs, this episode is a must-listen. What You’ll Learn The key difference between chatbots, custom GPTs, and AI clones Why AI clones aren’t built for creativity or exploration How your decision-making process becomes the “engine” of a clone Where clones fit best in expert businesses Why automation and cloning are not the same thing What an AI clone needs from you to actually work The kinds of work AI clones should never try to replace If you’re thinking about using AI in your business—but want to do it responsibly, with clarity and intention—this episode will give you a strong foundation. I also share a real-life example of how AI clones can support implementation in online courses without replacing your presence. 🎧 Tune in and find out if your business is clone-ready.
