08 Feb 2022The Power of Identity and Changing Old Patterns00:22:22

Just the other day, someone sent us a DM and said: "On a recent podcast episode, I heard you and Macy talking about running a business through pregnancies and raising babies. I loved hearing this, but the thought I had in the back of my head was that I hope that when I get pregnant again, I can continue on the path of motivation and momentum that I'm currently experiencing. In my last pregnancy, I created a lot of bad habits because I didn't feel well. Do you have tips to keep things on track during pregnancy and the new born phase?"

Even if you can't relate to the pregnancy or raising children scenarios, the underlying idea here is that if you've gotten off track before, you might be scared to go all in because you fear you'll resort back to old patterns.

In this episode, Kat shares her story of when she was pregnant with her first child, Lucy, and compares that experience with her current pregnancy and shares how she has been able to stay on track even in the moments where she didn't feel well or when her routine was thrown off.

15 Feb 2022'Launch' Debrief: $198,606 Without a Fancy Strategy00:38:46

A few weeks ago we SOLD OUT the seats for our 2022 Winter Cohort and the craziest part is that we sold out a week before close cart.

If you're familiar with online business, you probably know that there's typically a week of open cart - meaning the week that people can buy - and prior to that there's a launch runway.

The launch runway usually has a lot of mini events, such as challenges, bootcamps, small events, etc. to get people prepped for the big event which is usually a webinar, masterclass or something of that sort where the selling happens.

While we have definitely utilized all of these strategies in the past, something we realized is that each piece of the launch runway required a tonnnnn of energy and by the time we reached open cart week, quite honestly, people were tired. And so were we.

Because each piece of the runway is a sell - you have to sell people to join the Facebook group or sell them to join the Zoom call or sell them to register for the masterclass alllll before you even get the chance to sell them on your actual offer.

And while this strategy CAN and HAS worked, we decided that the way we sold in 2022 would be different - and what's crazy is that we're honestly practicing what we preach to so many of you. And that is selling ONE thing at all times - which is ultimately GUIDE Culture's Signature 8 Week Program.

In this episode, we share what we have started doing differently and our hope is that it gives you some encouragement to do your one thing and do it really well. There's power in putting all of your energy in one place ⚡️

23 Feb 2022Bonus Episode: Selling Something That's Not Trendy Without Bashing Your Competition00:31:40

This bonus episode is pulled from a recent YouTube Live that we do every Tuesday morning at 9am ET! On YouTube Live, we answer questions from our audience to give you the insight and answers around sales, leadership & business in general.

In this episode, we answer a DM we received on Instagram recently where someone asked:
"I've always wanted to know how to sell our family's beef. Sometimes I think it would be easier to sell if we were grass-fed or organic because those are trendy. However, I just know that grass-fed/organic go against our values. How do you sell something when it's not the trend and you know what you sell is better without bashing the trend?"

Do you feel like you have a product that's not trendy or sexy? If so, do you struggle to sell it because you think people won't want it? Do you know your product is BETTER than the trendy thing, but aren't sure how to communicate that?

If you said yes to any of the above, this episode is for you!

01 Mar 2022What Matters Most: Sales or Sales Culture?00:30:24

SALES VS. SALES CULTURE - what matters more?

If you've been following GUIDE Culture or listening to the podcast for any amount of time, chances are you've heard us use the phrase "sales culture."

Macy always says that she grew up in a "sales culture" home, but it's become very clear that a lot of people either a) don't know what that is or b) don't know how to cultivate it.

While sales and sales culture are two totally different things, they both have one thing in common: they have to be planned for - neither of them just happen.

Here's how you can put it in perspective: in 6 months, a year or even 2 years down the road, you can be living out 1 of 2 scenarios in your business ⬇️

➡️ you can look up and think, "wait... how come no one is bought in to my mission? why can't I keep team members on board? why are sales so hard and I can't hit my numbers?" 😓

OR

➡️ you can look up and say, "wow! I've accomplished so much more than I even thought was possible in such a short amount of time. Sales feel great and I have people excitedly running with me! what a dream." 🥳

Scenario 2 paints a dreamy picture of what it would look like to have both - seamless sales and a thriving sales culture. Because we believe you can't have one without the other.

Because we OBVIOUSLY want scenario 2 for you, in this episode we're breaking down the difference and helping you see how to have both!

15 Mar 2022Stop Giving Your "Best Stuff" Away For Free00:16:44

Have you ever been given the advice to give your best stuff away for free because it will make people want to buy from you EVEN more?

We hear this tension a lot.

People want their audience to know that they have expertise. They want their audience to find value in what they share and ultimately experience wins.

And we totally get it! We also want people to know that we have knowledge in our industry and for them to trust that they will receive value from our product.

What often happens when you start sharing and giving away all of your best stuff for free is that people get overloaded with information and end up making no decision at all.

Something we know to be true is that information doesn't always equal TRANSFORMATION.

For example: most of us know that broccoli is a better choice than mac and cheese. But that doesn't mean that we always choose to get the broccoli does it?

People can KNOW things all day long, but deeply believing, taking action and making decisions on that information is another story.

As a salesperson, you have to be able to sell beliefs. And the crazy part is that you sell belief the exact same way that you sell your product or service.

In this episode, Macy and Kat talk more about why giving your best stuff away for free isn't always the best option and what you can do instead.

08 Mar 2022Master Your Messaging with Brandon Lucero01:00:18

In this special episode, we sit down with one of our coaches and mentors from the past year, Brandon Lucero, who leads 4X Video Effect - recently rebranded into the New Generation Entrepreneur Mastery Program.

Brandon's proven methodology shifts how online content is created and distributed by changing beliefs, shifting perspectives and the psychology of selling products online so you can move your audience into a buying state of mind while growing your brand.

He has successfully generated over 9 six-figure launches, generated millions of views online, helped create million-dollar sales funnels and worked with multiple 7-figure entrepreneurs like James Wedmore, Carrie Green, Caitlin Bacher, Rick Mulready, and more.

Through working with Brandon, we've learned the importance of selling and speaking on your beliefs and one message instead of following the social norms of bashing other opinions, going only where the attention is or only teaching how to content.

A lot of times in the online business world, people want to be polarizing because it gives them the attention they crave, but too often that becomes a cycle of straying away from what your actual message is and doesn't generate the long term connections that your business needs to truly thrive.

In this episode, we discuss just that - the power of speaking on your beliefs, the importance of staying on message & how to really connect with people through your content versus spilling more how to information on them daily.

If you're interested in learning more and staying connected with Brandon, here's 3 ways to do that:

Enrollment opens on Monday, March 7th and closes on Thursday, March 10th!


17 Mar 2022Bonus Episode: Should You Add A Live Element To Your Course?00:24:06

In this episode, Macy and Loy address a question that we recently received on Instagram from a GUIDE Culture Grad.

The grad asked, "do you see a higher completion rate in GUIDE Culture since there are coaches and lab?"

And that is a great question! If you aren't familiar with the structure of GUIDE Culture's Signature Training, we have that broken down HERE.

Basically, instead of buying the course and going through it on your own time, there is an accountability piece that we call labs.

Labs are where you come with your homework from the training session (which are dripped weekly versus given all at once) you perform with your lab group which is led by coaches and you receive immediate feedback.

With this, each cohort has a designated start and end date - something else you don't often see with online courses.

While we don't know the exact completion rate, we do know that students are much more likely to finish the entirety of the program solely because of the accountability piece and the clear structure of beginning and end.

Here at GC, we've also implemented a no student left behind policy that we firmly stand behind! During a cohort, if we notice that someone isn't showing up, our coaches check in and determine how to move forward so that the student experiences a winning outcome.

Cohort based courses have something special to them and in this episode we talk about just that.

22 Mar 2022Sell MORE By Talking About Your Product LESS00:32:31

When you have a product that feels like a no brainer, especially for your target audience, it's tempting to talk about just that - the product.

Maybe you share the basic information about the product - such as size, color, name, etc. - and then maybe give a little insight about what or where the product would be perfect for.

For example: a boutique owner might be selling a pair of sandals.

When they post about the sandals, they might say something like, "these white sandals are the perfect addition to your closet for spring and summer and will go great with any skirt or dress this season. Available in sizes 6-11."

When someone sees that they might think, "oh how cute!" and then proceed to find a similar version on Amazon for a cheaper price and faster shipping.

The product caught their eye, but because there was no deeper conviction for THAT specific one, they moved on to finding it elsewhere.

What's happened here is the boutique owner quickly became competition with the masses that sell the same thing VS. someone that builds a tribe of loyalty that only wants YOUR version of that product.

Loyalty comes when people know what you stand for, know what they're getting and know WHY they're buying from you - it's not just about the product. It's about YOUR product and the deeper meaning + mission behind it.

The answer to building this kind of loyalty is NOT to talk about your product more. It goes far beyond that which is what we're breaking down in this episode!

29 Mar 2022Building Value VS. Adding Value - What's The Difference?00:14:49

After working with hundreds of business owners and entrepreneurs through the GUIDE Culture Sales Training, we've noticed that a lot of people get it wrong in this one major area.

And that is the area of adding value versus BUILDING value - they aren't the same!

You hear it all the time - "give value, add value." So much so that the word 'value' almost has no meaning anymore.

When people think about "adding value" they think of giving away their knowledge, sharing information, stating facts, etc.

And there is a time and place for that!

The problem is that when you only share that type of content with your audience, you aren't inspiring people to take action. You aren't guiding them into a decision that is best for them.

That's where BUILDING value comes in!

In this episode, Macy and Loy talk about the main differences between the two - if you're in a place where you're wondering why people aren't taking action with what you offer, this may be the missing piece.

05 Apr 2022Do You Sell Multiple Products? This Episode Is For You!00:16:06

Macy here, co-CEO of GUIDE Culture!

Just last week, I was on a discovery call with someone interested in taking GUIDE Culture's Sales + Leadership Training and during our conversation, she mentioned how she has so many passions and things that she enjoys doing.

When we took a closer look at all the things that she does and ways that people can work with her, I noticed that everything she did had ONE common thread.

If you sell multiple products or have multiple ways that people can work with you, chances are that you have ONE thread among all of them, too.

As someone that teaches sales, one of the things I've learned is that it is extremely hard (if not, impossible) to sell multiple things. Every single product or service that you sell requires so much time and energy for it to really HIT with your audience.

The good news is that if you do sell multiple things, you don't have to have different messages for each - in fact, you SHOULD NOT have multiple messages 🤯

The ONE common thread aka your ONE MESSAGE is what you should be selling at all times.


In this podcast episode, I provide some examples on what this looks like and guide you on how to lean into your one message so that your audience starts to buy into that and then just has a simple decision to make - and that is how they are going to work with you. 


12 Apr 2022I Can't Keep Quiet Anymore: Advice You're Probably Getting That Is Hurting You00:25:22

Macy here! It's no secret that we're in an age of a lottttt of automation.

Everywhere you look people are telling you to automate your business, somehow and someway - put together an email funnel, create a course, have an evergreen webinar, develop your CRM - these are the things that are so heavily being taught right now.

And I get it - as the world evolves, it is important that we adapt and start implementing new things, so it is totally normal for people to be leaning into this.

But as someone who likely has big dreams and lots of goals in your business, this advice is likely hurting you.

In this episode, I'm diving into the thing that so many are missing that I can't stay quiet about any longer!

14 Apr 2022Bonus Episode: How You Can Experience Predictable Sales Right Away00:19:00

When you focus on the game, the scoreboard will take care of itself 💯

In business, it's so tempting to have your eye on the prize - the big goal, a massive breakthrough, your next big win 👀🏆

This is the "scoreboard" so to speak.

What if I told you that when you quit looking for those moments and simply focus on your day by day actions - the "game" - that you can quite possibly exceed the goals you’ve set AND make predictable sales?

What we often see when people are focused on their big prize, they are falling into the trap of automations or "sales on autopilot."

Meaning they're trying to implement strategies that promise less work, more impact.

There's nothing wrong with strategies WHEN you have a predictable process in place.

In this episode, Macy and Loy touch on this *exact* process so you can start experiencing predictable sales (which equals predictable revenue) and invite you to join the
💥 BREAKING BUSINESS 💥 masterclass on April 18th at 2pm ET

26 Apr 20225 Sales Strategies For Leading A Team00:27:38

Here at GUIDE Culture, we're big readers and typically, as a team, we have a few books that are always circling around.

Macy and Kat just finished reading the No B.S. Small Business Book by Casey Graham, which has been so inspiring for how to lead a team, build a business and create a culture that people want to be a part of.

If you're a long time podcast listener, you've likely heard us say that, "Leadership is Sales and Sales is Leadership."

We believe they both go hand in hand.

Leading people is getting them excited to take action in a direction, which is EXACTLY what sales is.

In this podcast episode, Macy and Kat break down 5 sales strategies that you can implement in your leadership.

It's worth noting that these 5 strategies can also overflow into your home and overall your life!

03 May 2022Are Systems and Processes REALLY Duplicatable?00:14:56

If you run your business in the online world, you likely hear that for your business to see the results you want, you simply need certain processes and systems in place.

There's the "gurus" and "experts" out there telling you to implement their processes and duplicate their systems so you can see xyz results.

This is what we like to call "easy buttons."

They sound easy, effortless and promising, so it makes total sense why you might think this is all you need to do in order to reach your goals and see results.

If that were true, wouldn't everryyyone that implements these processes be successful?

Often times, people who are interested in joining GUIDE Culture will come to us and say that they're doing all the things the experts and gurus say to do, but they are NOT seeing the results they expected.

The reason for this is because it's not really about the process at all. It's about the PERSON.

In this episode, Macy and Kat are breaking down the question, "Are Systems and Processes REALLY Duplicatable?"  and help you see what matters more than anything to get results in your business.

10 May 2022$70K and 36 Likes in 1 Day: Spring Cohort Launch Debrief00:46:48

A few weeks ago we wrapped up enrollment for our 2022 Spring Cohort. The enrollment season for this cohort specifically was different than any other enrollment season or launch we've ever experienced!

Earlier this year, we decided to ditch the traditional "launch" process that you're likely familiar with if you're in the online business world and try something new. This meant stop doing webinars so often, stop having only one open cart week, stop having such a long launch runway filled with mini events and do what we know best - which is sell. ALL. THE. TIME.

Essentially this meant, that people could enroll for the cohort at any time - they didn't have to wait until open cart week. We started calling it the "enrollment period" and thinking about it terms of a school or college - everyone enrolls on a different date, but they all have the same first day. Pivoting to this style allowed for much more conversation with leads on an ongoing basis.

We have LOVED incorporating new ways of getting people into GUIDE Culture and during this specific enrollment cycle, we found a way to marry the two.

In mid-March, Macy felt a pull to host a webinar aka masterclass aka proper sales presentation for this cohort enrollment specifically.

We've hosted many webinars in our time - some have went great, others didn't perform like we'd hoped - but this one was filled with a completely different mindset and produced much different results.

In this episode, Macy breaks down all the juice! What we learned, new things we tried, what we'll do different, what we'll keep doing and, of course, the results 🚀


17 May 2022We're Burning the Business Down to the Ground and Starting Over00:24:34

Macy here! Last week on Instagram, I shared how I feel like I'm living in a paralleled space as an entrepreneur - in a place where SO MUCH is working, paired with things that aren't working.

As a salesperson, it's difficult to focus on anything other than sales. And I believe that's how it should be most of the time, because there's really nothing else to focus on if sales aren't happening. There wouldn't be a business at all.

Because of that, I've always moved forward quickly and with purpose - always looking for the next opportunity, the next angle on the same message and new ways to get into more sales conversations.

If I'm being honest, GUIDE Culture has sort of been built by accident. Through the process of trial and error, seeing what sticks and what doesn't, the business has evolved. We've taken what's worked and continued moving forward.

And that's what has allowed us to grow so quickly, which has been great.

But it cannot stay there forever. It's time to take inventory and rebuild consciously. 

I'm calling this season our "reinvention" season.

When you reinvent, you don't tweak a few small things here and there. Instead, you burn things down and completely rebuild from a much better, much clearer and more advanced place.

Typically when I'm going through something like this, I wait to share until after I'm done going through it because I like to share lessons learned. 

But for this, I'm feeling pulled to share the journey.

So, in this episode we're getting vulnerable as I start to reveal what this this reinvention process is going to look like for us here at GUIDE Culture!

24 May 2022Do You Want Your Business To Improve As Quickly As Possible? This Episode Is For You!00:20:10

In last week's podcast episode, we revealed how we're burning down the business and starting over. The first step in consciously doing that was looking at all of our offers and asking ourselves, "how does this offer make me feel?"

As we started this process as a team, it became crystal clear what needed to happen. Not because the certain offer in question isn't helpful. Not because it doesn't align with the business. But truly because it can be done so much better with greater intention.

With that said, Needle Movers, our $197 product that teaches people the repeatable, sustainable system to consistently move toward their goals WHILE living a life that's important to them is RETIRING FOR GOOD ON MAY 27TH!

31 May 2022The Trap To Avoid At All Costs: Be Aware Of This Before You Create Something New To Sell00:24:49

Do you teach from a place of knowledge or from a place of knowing? There's a MAJOR difference!

Macy here and just recently I was watching a documentary that revealed something that plays so true in business -- and this is this idea of people teaching or talking on subjects that they secretly struggle with as well.

It's an easy trap to fall into and one that I've personally fallen into plenty of times. The way this starts to happen, as a business owner or entrepreneur, is when you are personally struggling with something -- whether that be hitting your sales goals, growing your team, refining your leadership, meeting deadlines, etc. -- and you start to seek learning on this specific subject.

For example:

  • If you're trying to grow your sales skills, you might take sales training.
  • If you're honing your copywriting skills, you might hire a copy coach.
  • If you're leveling up your leadership, you might read a few John Maxwell books.


As you're learning these things, it might feel tempting to start talking about or teaching what you're learning. So you start to teach alongside your learning and this is what it means to teach from a place of knowledge. It's just information that you're reiterating. You're not usually super sold on it, you aren't really an expert in it and the teaching might not even come very natural for you.

Knowing is more of a being -- when you teach from knowing, it comes from a place of ownership. You're an expert in it, the teaching flows from you naturally and you feel extremely confident in it.

In this episode, Macy talks more about this trap and how to avoid falling into it as a business owner and how it will make you grow even more when you do avoid it.

02 Jun 2022How To Engineer A Content Roadmap So You Always Have Something To Say with Danielle Weil00:45:12

In 2019, right when GUIDE Culture was really getting started, Macy knew she needed some help with writing. She jumped on Instagram stories to ask for suggestions and someone sent over Danielle Weil's information. She didn't have an Instagram, just an email.

So, Macy sent her an email and we've been going strong ever since! Over the last 3 years, we've met with Danielle (we call her Dani!) via Zoom every Tuesday and she helps us get our message across in new and different ways.

She's the person outside of our bottle (we talk more about what this means in this episode) that helps us see how to connect with our audience in an engaging way through every piece of writing in the business.

Though she specializes in launching, she's more like our cool aunt that helps us with EVERYTHING - from captions, to emails, to blog posts and more, Dani has helped the entire team SO MUCH and we're pumped for you to learn from her in this episode!

07 Jun 20223 Secrets To Get Your Money's Worth Out Of GUIDE Culture00:39:46

When people join GUIDE Culture, one of the first things they ask is: "how can I prepare beforehand?"

Before their training kicks off, they want to know what they can be doing and how they can be preparing to get the MOST out of it.

And we absolutely LOVE this energy! They are in it to win it and we love to see it.

Our friend, GUIDE Culture graduate, and GUIDE Culture Coach, Shelby Rose, also asked this question when she first took her training. If you're in the GC bubble in any capacity, you know Shelby! People love her and trust her so they often ask her this question, too.

During the Spring Cohort enrollment, so many people were asking her this question and she realized that she was responding with the same 3 things - so much so that she went to Kat and said, "can we record something and let it be one of the first things students see after they enroll?"

Kat loved the idea, so they hopped on Zoom and it turned into an episode that everyone needs to hear.

If you're an upcoming student in the Summer Cohort, a GUIDE Culture graduate or someone that wants to take GUIDE Culture someday, but wants to know what to expect, this episode is for you!

You'll get Shelby's top 3 tips plus loads of encouragement no matter where you're at!

13 Sep 2022Want Coaching from Kat and Macy? Listen to Find Out How00:31:55

Kat and Macy are busting a very common myth in today’s episode of the Guide Culture podcast. The belief that they’re debunking is one that countless people have asked in the past and will continue to ask in the future - “am I not selling because I don’t have enough followers?”

Far too often, people blame their smaller followings on Instagram for their lack of sales.

Then, they continue on to share why strategies are a revolving door of ideas that ebb and flow depending on what works and what doesn’t. They also discuss how momentum comes from conversation and why it’s so important to speak with your prospects.

If you struggle with sales and believe the problem might just be the number of followers you currently have, this episode is for you! Just be sure to stay tuned to the end for an excited opportunity with Kat and Macy.

In this episode, we cover:

  • “Is your content good enough?” And what is good content to you?
  • What it really means to sell

13 Dec 2022Can Artificial Intelligence Help You Sell?00:33:51

Our team spent 2 beautiful days last week prepping and getting ready for 2023. In this episode, Kat + Macy spend a few minutes unpacking what that looked like and the clarity our team gained around persuading for good in just a few short days. 

Within the last couple of weeks, Kat’s been receiving ads for Artificial Intelligence software that essentially claims to do the conversing for you in sales (she references it in last week’s episode with Megan Hansen here). This weekend, she tested the software from a consumer side, and the answer quite honestly surprised her. But did it change her point of view when it comes to replacing human conversations with AI conversations?

  • Why persuasion has such a negative connotation
  • How persuading others for good is more than just a sales skill
  • Making persuasion a full heart process

AI definition of how to persuade someone that Kat references in the podcast:
“To persuade someone, you need to present a clear and compelling argument that convince them to agree with you or take a specific course of action. This can be done through various methods, such as using evidence and logical reasoning to support your case, appealing to the person’s emotions, or highlighting the potential benefits of agreeing with you. It can also be helpful to address any potential objection or concerns the person may have, and to be open and reception to their perspective. Overall, the key to persuading someone is to clearly and effectively communicate your ideas in a way that is compelling and convincing.”

If you missed it on our IG this week, Kat had the opportunity to speak at the FASTer Way conference this weekend. She got to spend time with coaches who are engaged in their business and want to serve their clients well, and today she walks us through her quick (but impactful) trip! 

In today's episode, we cover:

  • building value versus adding value
  • why quick fixes aren't the easy button you're looking for
  • transactional selling versus transformative selling

28 Feb 2023Warning If You Sell!00:18:09

If you're listening to this, there's a chance that you're already making sales. Whether your sales are spotty month to month or you're fully supporting your family at this point, you've generated some form of revenue. 

When you're in sales, especially at the higher end, sometimes you may be wondering "IS THIS SUSTAINABLE?" How do you continue to grow your business while shouldering the burden alone? There's good news: you don't have to. When you find the right people on the same mission as you, you can build a sustainable business.  

In today's episode, we cover:

  • Uncovering level one in your business: generating revenue
  • Uncovering level two in your business: converting from selling to leading
  • Uncovering level three in your business: shifting from leading to building

Join us as Macy + Kat recap these three steps being implemented  at GUIDE Culture.
