I’ll be away all next week for some eye surgery. While I’m recuperating, I’ll also be working on some exciting new ways to help you Get Your Merch Made—including a cool surprise coming in September. But first, I want to know what would be most useful to you: Take the poll and let me know which would help you most right now? Drop a comment about what are you currently working on for your community, clients, or members—and what would help you turn it into something that builds engagement, strengthens your brand, and generates revenue?

MARK YOUR CALENDAR: JULY 17TH. 11 AM CST. CHECK THE CALENDAR. 😀 I’m getting ready to host our first Get Your Merch Made live Q&A and casual networking session. We’ll talk merch ideas, client gifts, Framework Decks, product questions, and what you’re working on. Who’s in? And drop a question below so I know what you want help with first.

This one is for you if you have ever thought — I keep explaining this same thing and I wish people could actually use it instead of just hearing it once and forgetting it. I created Framework Decks because your best ideas should NOT stay buried in a PDF. These decks aren't another download that disappears into an inbox. But rather, a real tool with a real job... A Framework Deck turns your method, prompts, lessons, recipes, training, client questions, or workshop exercises into a physical card deck people can hold, use, gift, share, or sell. Inside the classroom I walk through what a Framework Deck is and how you can use it for coaching, training, workshops, onboarding, or client gifts. If you've been sitting on a framework or a client process and wondering what to do with it — this will help you see whether there is a deck inside it. Go to the Framework Decks classroom here.

The Brand Drink Test Quick exercise: If your brand were a drink, what would it be? 🥤 Coke — Classic. Reliable. Everyone knows exactly what they're getting. 🟢 Poppi — Trendy. A little unexpected. Appeals to a specific crowd. 💀 Liquid Death — Edgy. Unapologetic. Definitely not for everyone. Drop your answer below — and I'll tell you what your branded merch should probably feel like.
