Introducing The Side Hustle Show

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I sit down with my friend Matt Gray for a powerful conversation about the hidden force driving (or sabotaging) your success: the subconscious mind. We go deep into how the beliefs you carry beneath the surface can either accelerate your success or quietly sabotage everything you’re trying to build. Matt and I share personal strategies we’ve used to reprogram our own thinking, uncover hidden mental roadblocks, and create breakthroughs in our businesses. If you’ve ever felt stuck despite following the right playbook, this episode will help you understand why. I also loved hearing how Matt approaches content - especially how he taps into the fears and dreams of his audience to create messaging that converts. He shares a brilliant (and simple) survey strategy you can use to build high-impact content from your customer’s subconscious beliefs. We even dive into the history of propaganda, PR, and the psychology behind why some people succeed with the same tools that others struggle with. This episode is a crash course in rewriting the internal script that’s holding you back. Key Highlights: How your subconscious beliefs quietly shape your business results - whether you know it or not The difference between conscious decisions and the stories your subconscious is really acting on Why traditional mindset work often falls short - and what actually rewires your beliefs Matt’s 3-question survey method to uncover exactly what your audience is thinking and feeling A candid breakdown of the “art vs algorithm” debate - and how to create content that stays true to your voice while still performing online The surprising link between Freud, propaganda, and modern sales psychology This episode will challenge the way you think about success - and give you the tools to shift from self-sabotage to unstoppable momentum. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://clickfunnels.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Special thanks to our sponsors: NordVPN: EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://nordvpn.com/secrets⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

Most entrepreneurs try to sell products. Edward Bernays taught us to sell identity. In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I break down the hidden playbook behind influence, persuasion, and mass movement creation. After reading Bernays’ book Propaganda, the first of its kind on psychological marketing, I realized we’ve all been influenced by people we’ve never met, often without even knowing it. You’ll hear how these principles apply to modern marketing, from webinars to branding to stage presentations. This is the kind of episode that will shift how you sell, how you communicate, and how you think. Key Highlights: The true story of Edward Bernays, Freud’s nephew and the father of PR How the concept of propaganda turned into public relations and why it matters The simple identity hack that helped us grow ClickFunnels into a movement Why emotional stories sell better than logic and how to craft them How I reframed negative perceptions to flip them into buying beliefs Real examples from politics, religion, and parenting where reframing changes everything When you understand how identity, emotion, and subconscious desires drive decisions, you stop guessing what will sell. You start influencing at a deeper level. Whether you’re running ads, speaking on stage, or building your brand, this episode will change the way you think about marketing forever.

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I take you behind the scenes of our ClickFunnels Connect event in Salt Lake City, and into a personal journey I haven’t shared publicly in a long time. This session was a deep dive into the real reason we build funnels. Not just to make sales, but to fulfill callings, build movements, and create something that actually matters. I opened up about my own journey with ClickFunnels… From the moments that nearly broke me to the decisions that changed everything. This wasn’t a typical business presentation. It was raw, vulnerable, and packed with lessons I wish someone had told me when I was starting out. Whether you’re just launching or scaling to eight figures, this episode is about rediscovering your “why”… and building from a place of purpose, not pressure. Key Highlights: The two kinds of callings entrepreneurs feel, and how to know which one is driving you Why the strongest funnels are built from faith, not fear How your business is a reflection of your internal growth The “3 types of funnels” framework and how each one serves a different mission Why chasing money alone is a trap (and what to do instead) What I’ve learned from the most fulfilled entrepreneurs I know, and how they build movements, not just offers If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your business, this episode might be the reminder you’ve been needing. Let’s realign your mission, reconnect with your calling, and get back to building something that actually lights you up!! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sellingonline.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://clickfunnels.com/podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠https://www.clickfunnelsconnect.com⁠ Special thanks to our sponsors: NordVPN: EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://nordvpn.com/secrets⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

This one hit home! Andy Elliott didn’t just change his life… He helped change mine. In today’s episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I sit down with one of the most intense and inspiring sales leaders I know. Andy went from shooting his own YouTube videos on a phone to building a high-energy, nine-figure company that’s redefining what a sales culture can look like. We talk about the real origin story… No team, no budget, no fancy funnels. Just relentless volume, consistency, and the willingness to tell the truth when others would stay quiet. If you’re building a business, a brand, or trying to find your spark again, you’ll want to hear this. Key Highlights: How Andy built a global brand posting three YouTube videos a day before anyone knew his name What it really means to go “all in” without a plan B and why most people quit too soon Why the right culture beats the right funnel and how Andy built a team of 100 alphas How one $299 course launched a million-dollar month from pure organic content The real secret to staying on top: don’t let your fans, your team, or your family outgrow you Why your business stops the moment you hit cruise control Andy doesn’t hold back. His philosophy on pain, growth, and staying in the game is something every entrepreneur needs to hear. Whether you’re building your first offer or leading a team of 50, this episode will remind you what’s possible when you combine purpose with persistence. It’s not just about marketing or sales. It’s about becoming the kind of person who can lead the movement and stay in it for the long haul. And hey… if you want to follow Andy or get a hold of him… He literally said you could text him at 918-210-0254!
