Hey everybody, I hope you guys are all doing awesome. I am actually sitting in the jeep right now, about to start it, but I’m really tired. So I thought I would jump on here real quick and just give you guys an update on what’s been happening. It’s been crazy. I kind of told you guys on the last episode about just some of the stuff building the buzz for the birthday launch, and all the things we were doing. And I’ll kind of give you an update of what happened there, and then what happened today, and I’m not going to lie, it’s a little crazy. So I hope you guys are up for a fun story. So as you know, when I was in Fiji I made the video kind of talking about the rumors and what’s happening, and we posted it, and it went insane, insanely viral, more than anything I think I’ve ever personally done before in the past. And I had people, I had everybody messaging me. My friends, people I hadn’t heard from in 10 years, my dad, I can’t even tell you how many people were messaging me about, “What’s happening? Are you selling?” You know, we were trying to start rumors and it worked like I’ve never seen before. So that was really fun. And we had people registering for Facebook, and I don’t think you can see how many people registered or not. But tons of people registering, and step number one was completed. The buzz and the hype was happening. Last night was Sunday and I don’t know, I knew the birthday launch was coming up, but we had a lot of the other things happening. Thursday and Friday I took off to read the Traffic Secrets book live, so I could find the edits I needed to make. So I was locked down.

So then Saturday I went with the kids and kind of detached and just played with the kids all weekend long. And then Sunday night, about 9 I was like, I have to do slides for tomorrow. I know what I’m going to say, but I don’t know how I’m going to say it. So I started working slides at 9 and I got done at like 1:30 last night, and then I had to go to bed because I had to lift at 6 because my alarm went off at 5:30. So I went to bed and got like, what is it, like 4 hours, 5 hours of sleep? That’s 4 hours. Dang, no wonder I’m hurting so bad right now. I got 4 hours of sleep, woke up, worked out, raced to the office, and we’re like, “Okay it’s go time.” Went through everything we had to do left. Then I jumped in and started working on slides again, Leon who is an amazing designer, he’s in Miami, he’s in Google slides with me editing slides and making it look crazy. Jake and Nick are working on the software for the new Funnel Flicks, which I’ll tell you what that is here in a little bit. You know, going through that and going through the pages, just the whole marketing team, there’s just a million things happening. And there’s a big party happening in Georgia, and a big Clickfunnels birthday party there, and birthday cake. Everybody’s celebrating and working hard and trying to get things done. And everybody on this side here in Boise is trying to get everything done and make sure it’s working. And thirty minutes before, I’m working on sl
