How Do I Repurpose My Live Streams?
17/07/2026 | 9 mins.
AL #007 Live streams are a powerful way to grow and connect with your audience. But how do you take it a step further and turn your lives into evergreen content? More importantly, how do you do it without creating a whole bunch more work for yourself? Done right, a single stream can be repurposed into weeks of valuable posts. That's why I always say you have to begin with the end in mind! For my tips on how to do just that, listen in on today's AskLiz session. I'll share the Ecamm Live trick you should use to create Shorts and long-form videos in one go, and I'll help you map out your streams in advance for easy-to-clip highlights. If you've been struggling to post often enough, this might be the missing piece of the puzzle for you. Don't miss out!

SPI 938: AskPat Is Back! (For a Moment)
15/07/2026 | 40 mins.
#938 Learning comes from the action you take, not the research you do! That's the theme of today's special episode, where I answer your questions on everything from content creation to live events. If you've been struggling to post consistently, been wondering if selling merch is right for your brand, or want to know when it's time for your first hire, listen in! Our incredible Director of Community, Liz Wilcox, is joining me for this throwback to the AskPat days. And that's exactly where we start. I'll share why I couldn't be more excited to have Liz coming on as my co-host after flying solo for so many years, but there's much more to take away from this session! I discuss finding and focusing on an MVPC, your minimum viable piece of content, to beat perfectionism and procrastination. I also share a look at the massive growth of my Card Party conventions and why bringing people together live is the most rewarding thing you can do as a creator. Tune in!

AL #006 Paid membership communities don’t have to fizzle out after a year or two. But how do you maintain engagement and attract new members to keep things fresh and profitable?
