He Gave His Best Work Away Free. Then He Learned to Price It. | Jaime Smith - CFR #821 Sep 03, 2026

Show notes

Jaime Smith never set out to build a software company. In 2015 he joined ClickFunnels as a customer, trying to sell a fat-loss ebook. What he actually had was fifteen years of web development experience - so when people in the ClickFunnels Facebook group asked how to do something the platform couldn't do yet, he just built it and gave it away. A checkbox on a submit button. A "best seller" highlight on an order form. About twenty free snippets later, roughly 700 people had joined his free members area, and enough of them had asked how to send him money that he finally built a paid product.

CF Pro Tools launched August 1, 2016 at $37/month or $197/year and did five figures in its first week. It now has over 100 add-ons, and Jaime is VP of Product Strategy at ClickFunnels with three Two Comma Club awards.

In this episode with hosts Chris Cameron and Dante Torelli, Jaime breaks down:

Why giving away your best work in public beats pitching in DMs
How he set his annual price using a competitor's churn data
Value-metric pricing — how to choose what you actually charge for, and why stacking extra features into higher tiers can lower conversions
Offer stacks as objection-handling, not value-padding
The "10% problems vs. 90% problems" rule he uses to decide what to build outside ClickFunnels versus hand to the engineering team
Why he's never raised prices on a 2016 customer

Plus a rapid-fire round covering the first funnel he'd build if he lost everything, his favorite hook type, and the one thing he'd do differently.

Why Funnel Hacking Live Returned | Myles Clifford - CFR #819 Jul 17, 2026

Show notes

Myles Clifford has been at every major Russell Brunson event for close to a decade, and most people have never heard his name. He took a pay cut to join ClickFunnels, spent his first months restocking the fridge and taking out the trash, and now he runs every live event the company puts on. In this episode he explains why Funnel Hacking Live went away, why it's back, and what he builds into a room to make sure people leave different than they walked in.

Chris Cameron and Dante Torelli get the full story: the demand that pulled FHL out of retirement, the move to a theater at the Fontainebleau in Las Vegas, and why this year's event is smaller, shorter, and built around where marketing is heading with AI.

Inside this episode:

Why the audience, not the team, brought Funnel Hacking Live back
What's different this time: 2,500 seats, assigned seating through Ticketmaster, and a two and a half day format instead of four
More time with Russell and Todd, fewer speakers, and a lineup focused on the next five years
How Myles keeps dozens of events a year from falling apart, and the one trait he'd hire for
The mindset that gets him through 16-hour event days, plus a chair story you have to hear

Whether you run events, build funnels, or want to know how an event this size actually comes together, Myles shows you the work most people never see.

He Stopped Selling Products and Made More Money - Tim Hewitt - CFR #814 Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

Affiliate marketing, passive income, making money online, high-ticket sales, and ClickFunnels changed Tim Hewitt's life after his $2 million golf business collapsed.

Tim spent decades as a software engineer while building side businesses on the side. At one point, he built an online golf company to more than $2 million per year. Then the 2008 financial crisis hit, and revenue crashed almost overnight.

Years later, after moving to Malaysia, returning home during COVID, and finding himself stuck with a warehouse full of inventory he couldn't sell, Tim made a decision:

He would never build another business that depended on physical products.

Instead, he learned affiliate marketing, discovered ClickFunnels, studied Russell Brunson's books, and built a business helping complete beginners earn income online through high-ticket affiliate marketing.

In this episode, Tim shares the lessons he learned from building, losing, rebuilding, and reinventing himself over a 40-year entrepreneurial journey.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How Tim built a $2 million online golf business

• What it felt like when revenue crashed from $2M to $100K

• Why he walked away from physical products and inventory

• How COVID became the catalyst for an entirely new business

• The affiliate marketing framework he uses to help beginners get started

• Why most lead magnets fail to generate sales

• The difference between low-ticket and high-ticket offers

• How ClickFunnels and Russell Brunson influenced his business transformation

• Why software engineers and technical professionals can succeed in marketing

• The biggest mistakes new affiliate marketers make

Whether you're trying to build a side hustle, create passive income, start affiliate marketing, or transition out of a traditional career, Tim's story is proof that reinvention is possible at any stage of life.

Sometimes the fastest way forward isn't doubling down on what used to work.

It's learning an entirely new game.

How I Replaced My 9-to-5 Salary with This 7-Step Framework - Sarah Thompson - CFR #813 Jun 04, 2026

Show notes

Affiliate marketing changed Sarah Thompson's life. What started as a search for passive income and financial freedom turned into an online business that helped her escape the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle and leave her physical therapy career behind.

Sarah did everything right.

She worked full-time as a physical therapist. Her husband worked full-time too. They lived below their means, followed the budget, and tried to save every dollar they could.

Yet they were still living paycheck to paycheck.

Then Sarah heard a single idea that completely changed how she thought about money:

"Rich people don't trade time for money."

What started as a desperate attempt to create extra income turned into a journey that led her to her first $2.80 commission, a $1,000 commission that arrived while she was driving home from a fireworks show, and eventually enough income to leave her career in physical therapy behind.

In this episode, Sarah shares the real story behind her transformation, including the mistakes, mindset shifts, and lessons she learned along the way.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why budgeting alone wasn't solving her financial problems

• The mindset shift that changed everything

• How she spent $2,500 on a course despite being terrified to do it

• The embarrassing "dog brain training" offer she promoted before finding her niche

• How she built an audience from scratch using simple content

• Why most beginners stay stuck before they ever make their first sale

• The 7-step affiliate marketing framework she teaches today

• How she made her first commissions and eventually replaced her income

• Why authenticity beats perfection online

Whether you're trying to build a side hustle, create passive income, start an online business, or simply stop feeling stuck financially, Sarah's story is proof that sometimes the problem isn't spending too much money…

It's not making enough.

The Content Strategy That Makes Selling Effortless - Jason Linett - CFR #812 May 28, 2026

Show notes

Jason Linett was sitting in a conference room full of hypnotists who believed passion and profit couldn't coexist. Meanwhile, $50,000 had just come into his account from an automated email campaign he'd set up before leaving for the convention.

That week changed everything about how he thought about selling.

Jason started as a close-up magician at Busch Gardens. Then he discovered hypnosis and spent 14 years working with clients one-on-one, helping them quit smoking, get over fears, and break through mental blocks. The whole job was guiding someone from "I'm stuck" to "it's behind me" without forcing anything.

A few weeks after that convention, he was at a marketing event listening to speakers differently. He wasn't watching the content. He was tracking the language patterns. And he realized: the structure of every great sales conversation is identical to the structure of a hypnotic change journey.

That insight built two Two Comma Club businesses and a coaching practice that teaches consultants, coaches, and service providers how to get clients without ever feeling like they're selling.

In this episode, Jason breaks down his full framework: why most content hits the ground like confetti and nobody picks it up, how to solve the problem before the problem to make your offer feel like the obvious next step, what a "splinter offer" is and why his model has run 12 to 15 times across his programs, and how the velvet rope strategy pre-qualifies buyers so the sales conversation is already halfway done before it starts.

He also does a live hypnosis demonstration with the hosts. You'll want to watch this one, not just listen.

If you sell a service, run a coaching program, or are trying to figure out why your funnel isn't converting, this episode gives you the answer.
