I get asked all the time about summits.


“Should I host one?”

“Should it be video or audio”

“Are they still even worth it?”


In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on Behind the Launch, my audio-first Voxer summit, and giving you the real talk on why I created it, what I did differently, and what I learned the hard way.

This is part one of a two-part deep dive where I break down what works, what I’d never do again, and the strategic (and accidental) decisions that made all the difference.


Here's what you'll hear:

  • The wild idea that launched Behind the Launch — and why it worked


  • Why I ditched video and embraced a “lazy” audio solution


  • How to structure your summit around your business goals


  • Three things you must decide before planning a summit


  • The sneaky-smart move I made without realizing it
