In this episode, I explain why I believe retention starts long before a purchase, how I build that philosophy into my own business, and the small changes you can make to create more personalised customer journeys without rebuilding your entire funnel.

If you’ve ever thought retention was something you could “worry about later”, this episode might completely change how you think about your customer experience.

In this episode, I’m joined by neuropsychologist and systems strategist Dr. Tiffany Shelton, who has built a program with a 95% retention rate (yes, let that number sink in!).

Together, we explore how pricing, psychology, and customer experience work together to create long-term client relationships that actually last.

Just because people are consuming your content doesn’t mean they’re taking action toward the transformation they actually joined for.

This episode explores the difference between engagement and real momentum, why relying on self-motivation is dangerous, and how to design experiences that naturally move people forward instead of keeping them busy.

In this special teaser episode, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming Retention Games from 12-15 May 2026, my completely reimagined virtual event where 20 retention strategies go head-to-head.

You’ll hear directly from the contestants as they share raw, unscripted previews of the strategies they’ll be revealing inside the Games.

Ever feel like your audience only buys when there’s a discount, countdown timer, or last-minute panic email?

You might unintentionally have trained them to do exactly that.

In this episode, I unpack the uncomfortable truth behind discount-driven sales cycles and why your audience isn’t unpredictable, but simply responding to the patterns you’ve created.

In today’s guest episode, I‘m joined by brand coach Suz Chadwick to unpack a big, timely question:

“In the age of AI slop, what does an authentic personal brand actually look like? And how do you create a customer experience that still feels real?”

Together, we explore what personal branding truly means in 2026, why authenticity is becoming a competitive advantage, and how AI can either amplify your voice… or dilute it entirely.

What started as a 3-day “part challenge, part game” experience quickly turned into a powerful retention engine that increased engagement, brought in new members, and helped existing members finally take action and get quick wins.

If you’ve ever felt like your membership (or online business) needs more content to keep people around… this episode will completely flip that belief on its head.

Whether you’re a photographer, designer, copywriter, or coach, this episode shows you how to rethink the client journey from first contact to post-delivery and infuse it with emotion, meaning, and retention magic.

Packed with practical examples (and totally systemisable ideas), it’s your go-to guide to building relationships that last.

It’s episode 50! And as What Would They Do? is coming up to its one-year anniversary, I’m taking a closer look at the biggest themes that have emerged from 50 episodes of listener questions, expert interviews, and strategic CX deep-dives.

In this quick episode, I pull back the curtain on one simple, scroll-stopping sales page strategy that turned heads during the founding member launch of Retention Lab. You’ll hear how I brought the abstract concept of retention to life with a powerful interactive tool that got 83% of page visitors to pause and engage, being sold by their own metrics.
