This one's different. Bryony from SensaPatch - transdermal vitamin patch brand, marine biologist turned national sales manager turned ecommerce founder - joins Sasha and Hamen for one of the most honest conversations we've had on this show. She's 18 months in, profitable before year one, running the business on 15 hours a week while raising two kids (one with autism), managing a trademark battle with a Sex doll company, and rebranding entirely in January. No fluff, no highlight reel - just a real founder figuring out what success actually looks like when life doesn't pause for business.

Six months ago I paid $200,000 for a day in Alex Hormozi's offices. Today I'm sharing the full unfiltered report - the three things his team told me to fix, what actually happened, the numbers behind each outcome, and where one of them completely failed. Then I go into the five core observations from spending time with 10 to 20 founders doing $5M to $40M a year, including the one behavior pattern that's killing more businesses than anything else. No fluff, no hype - just the real results.

In this exclusive workshop, Sasha and Hamen sit down with Sally -founder of Aligné Weighted Vest, a remedial massage therapist and naturopath of 20 years who sold her clinic, flew to China to fix her supplier relationship, built a women's weighted vest brand from scratch, and made over $8,000 in her first week from organic content alone.

We break down the avatar strategy that converts both age groups, why founder-led content is the only thing competitors can't copy, how to use your mom as a co-star to future-pace your audience, and why Sally's already thinking about exit before she's hit $100K a month.

In this exclusive workshop, Sasha and Hamen sit down with Ivo — one of three co-founders behind Kasa Flor, a plant accessories brand built by an accountant and two chefs who came to Australia from Brazil in 2015 and launched their business in September 2025. In 10 months they've done over $120K in revenue, hit their best month in July without changing a thing, and are now targeting $80K in a single month by Black Friday. We break down the full home upgrade strategy, why your back end is worth more than your front end, what happens when you can outspend your competitors, and the biggest L they took so you don't have to.

In this exclusive workshop, Sasha and Hamen sit down with Jamie - a 25-year interior designer who turned her creative eye into a luxury oversized towel brand called The Bear Hug, went from three consecutive $10K months to a $30K month, and sold out three times in four months.

We break down the real reason founders hesitate on stock decisions, why good performance makes you lazy, the two-tool framework for making faster business decisions, and how knowing your numbers removes emotion from the equation entirely.

In this exclusive workshop, Sasha and Hamen sit down with three community members - Priyanka (a corporate product manager with no business background who built an ecommerce brand from scratch while her family thought she was wasting money) and Dean and Jill (a couple who combined their passion for dog rescue with a pet product business and just hit their biggest month at nearly $30K). We break down the Five P Framework for scaling from $30K to $100K, why doing more things kills more businesses than doing fewer things ever could, and the exact mindset and measurement behaviors that separate founders who make it from those who quit one bad week too early.

In this exclusive workshop, Sasha and Hamen sit down with two community members — Nikki (a civil construction and land development veteran who spent six months developing a custom bedding product, hit 32% of her first month's sales from pre-orders, and now has return customers within seven weeks of launch) and John (a 25-year civil construction project manager who quit with no plan, launched a premium tattoo aftercare brand, and went from $5K to nearly $20K a month in four months). We break down the product-versus-marketing tradeoff, the exact cash flow ratio every founder needs to track, and the conversion and pricing structures that turn early traction into real scale.

In this exclusive workshop, Sasha and Hamen sit down with two community members — Donna (a 25-year corporate marketing professional who designed a weighted vest for perimenopausal women and hit $10K in her first month) and Karen (an 18-year IKEA veteran who took redundancy, built a premium compact bag brand, and tripled her revenue in week one with a new coach).

We break down the exact messaging frameworks, creative strategies, and psychological anchors both founders need to go from $10K to $100K — including solution-based selling, the stages of awareness, trauma-angle ads, and why building an army of winning creatives beats everything else.
