904: Start Your Email List Here: High-Converting Opt-In Ideas That Actually Work
What if I told you that one simple piece of helpful content could totally change how people find you, connect with you, and eventually buy from you? In this episode, we’re getting really practical about email list building, and I’m sharing the exact steps to create a lead magnet; AKA: the simple, helpful entry point that not only grows your email list but actually attracts the right people into your business!
I know email marketing can feel like a lot, but here’s the truth: your email list is one of the most valuable assets you can build. And creating your first (or next) opt-in doesn’t have to be hard.
So today, I’m walking you through what to consider before you create a lead magnet, the different types of freebies that actually work, and how to start attracting the people who are most aligned with what you offer.
And if you’re thinking, “This sounds great, but how do I actually set it all up?” then don’t worry, I’ve got you covered. We’re covering a LOT today, but if you want to go even deeper, I created a totally free mini-course that walks you through the entire process, step by step.

901: 5 Expert-Backed Mindset Shifts That Will Change the Way You Work, Rest, and Dream
We talk a lot about what to DO to grow–-what to post, what to sell, what strategy to follow—but the truth is, none of that matters if your mindset isn’t in the right place.
The biggest transformations usually don’t start with a checklist. They start with a belief, a shift, or a single moment where you realize: “Oh… maybe it doesn’t have to be this way.”
This episode is filled with those moments.
I’ve pulled together 5 of the most powerful mindset shifts ever shared on the Goal Digger Podcast, straight from some of our most impactful guests. These are the beliefs and inner scripts that changed everything for them, and they just might change everything for you, too.
If you’re starting something new, stuck in self-doubt, or just need a reminder that your brain can be your biggest asset (not your biggest roadblock!), click play!

900: How One Tiny Survey Helped Me Rebuild My Business with More Clarity and Alignment
I haven’t run a full-blown audience survey since 2020. Since then, so much has changed for me, for you, and for how we do business! And honestly? I wasn’t sure we needed to do one.
But Marisa, my right-hand and co-strategist, had a different perspective, and I’m so glad I listened. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on how we created a survey that wasn’t just about collecting data. It was about reconnection, reorientation, and rebuilding from a place of listening.
And yes, we used AI to help… but only after WE set the vision. So if you’re feeling disconnected from your audience or unsure what to build next, I hope this gives you a few new tools and a little clarity.
You can still take the survey at http://www.jennakutcher.com/survey (and yes, there’s a $500 gift card involved as a thank-you!). Head to http://www.jennakutcher.com/survey to share your thoughts on what kind of support would actually move the needle for YOUR business!
