Last Thursday, I lost my little brother John B Smiley. As his big sister, this loss has hit me deeply. We were extremely close, and I had been looking out for him for the last 35 years. I believed in him and the ideas he carried. I was helping him step into entrepreneurship. I even took him to the Edson Entrepreneurship + Innovation Institute at ASU so he could get support, refine his ideas, and begin building a business of his own. This past week has been extremely hard for me and my family. I am grieving while also trying to keep building the life, business, and legacy. I believe strongly that - Life is precious. Our ideas matter. And that u can never allow anything to make u quit on your dreams. My mission is to help entrepreneurs create more freedom by using AI and funnels to build and grow their businesses. Right now, that mission means even more to me. Last month, I purchased my ticket to Funnel Hacking Live. Now, we are only one week away from Day 1 in Las Vegas. So, in the middle of grieving my little brother, supporting my family, and handling things I never expected to face, I am also preparing for one of the most impactful business events of the year. I will not pretend this journey is easy. But I am going to keep moving forward—one step, one day, and one decision at a time. I’m bringing you behind the scenes as I prepare for Funnel Hacking Live, travel to Las Vegas, learn from some of the best minds in funnels and marketing, and turn what I learn into simple action steps entrepreneurs can use. This journey is about more than attending an event. It is about honoring life by using the gifts, ideas, and opportunities we have while we still can.

if you have felt stuck or unsure what to do next in your business — you’re not alone. You’re not failing. You’re just trying to figure everything out by yourself.

For a long time, we were taught that winning meant busting hard and trying to figure out everything yourself. More hustle. More learning. More skills. More late nights. But here’s what I’ve learned That path gets exhausting… and slow. The real shift happens when you stop building in isolation and start building with people. People who share what’s working, support each other, and help you move faster with clarity and confidence. This is the energy we’re stepping into for 2026 as a community. Less solo grinding. More shared wins. More community-powered growth. And because of that… something new is coming.in the New Yesr! I’m putting together a 5-Day Challenge just for this community — designed to help you get clear on your offer, building together, and moving forward in the new year with real momentum (without the overwhelm). More details coming soon… stay close 👀 🚨 Just A Friendly Reminder… This isn’t about hustle culture. This is the new way we are succeeding in the new year. Collaboration and community.. We learn together. We build together. We grow together. We win together. What is one goal I have set for yourself going into 2026? 5 pts for your answer! — Renee J. 💛
