Where entrepreneurs build un-ignorable personal brands
It's 2023. People wanna buy from peopleânot faceless brands.
Un-ignorable is a 4-week group challenge designed to help you build an audience of future buyers.
Enrollment opens for waitlisters on Oct 1st.
Join the waitlist to get first dibs (and bonuses).
Build demand and hype before your next launch
Be seen as the go-to expert in your space
Learn advanced tactics and get deep in your buyerâs mind
We live in the attention economy. If you canât get people to stop scrolling and pay attention to your content... theyâll never buy.
Building an audience is f*cking hard
Youâve likely spent hours painstakingly crafting LinkedIn posts, Twitter threads, or YouTube videos you hoped would go viralâŠ
Maybe youâve tried copying the gurus and using their âproven templatesâ and yetâŠÂ
Your post got 5 f*cking views.đ
Being ignored is downright soul-crushing.
Itâs not your fault though. The truth is youâve been lied to by the audience growth experts.
What worked for them wonât work for you.
Chances are their business looks totally different than yours, right?
There is a better wayâŠ
You donât need more beginner advice.
Youâve already bought the online courses and read the LinkedIn posts promising to help you âreach 100,000 followers in just 7 dead-simple stepsââthat crap didnât help.
You donât need someone to tell you to âstay consistentâ or to âengage with other people for 15 minutes each dayâ. You already know that stuff.
Your current approach isnât working.
If you want to attract more buyers, diversify income streams, or build demand for a more scalable offer⊠something has to change.
That âsomethingâ is YOU.
You need to become Un-ignorable
Un-ignorable is a 4-week group challenge for people who want to build an audience of future buyers.
Weâll show you whatâs working today and teach you WHY it works based on timeless psychology principles.

Ready to take the plunge but donât want to do it alone?

How it works
Behavior change is hard. Growth is hard. Luckily, weâre experts at both.
Focus on progress, not perfection
In audience building, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome keep most people stuck. But not you. Not anymore.
In Un-ignorable, weâll push you to publish consistently and learn from your audience. Youâll figure out what works, gain real traction, and build real confidence.
Learn the WHY behind the HOW
There are countless audience building courses out there. Most are taught by creators who built a large following and explain HOW they did it.
Un-ignorable focuses on the WHY behind the HOW. You'll learn the timeless psychological principles for viral content.
Bite-sized video lessons and exercises. Spread out over 4 weeks.
Most courses take pride in selling you â80 hours of video content.â Not us. Each day, youâll watch short video lessons and complete an exercise to action what you learn.
Un-ignorable is designed to produce resultsâ not keep you busy.
Deeply understand your audience
The best marketers arenât the ones who know the most about channels or tactics. They know the most about... people.Â
Itâs time to get clear about who to serve, finally. And youâll do audience research needed to understand what really makes people tick, click, and buy. No more guessing. Lots more results.
Peer support & collaboration
Youâll work directly with a cohort of peers. Learn from each other. Exchange feedback. Help amplify each other on social media. And hold each other accountable.
We promise: you wonât feel alone anymore.
Competitions & prizes
Everything feels like work nowadays. Letâs change that. You and your cohort will engage in some friendly competition. Completing challenges and winning prizes along the way.
The prizes? Theyâre a secret (and theyâre awesome).

What you'll learn
Trick yourself to publish consistently
The top 2 reasons people don't succeed with audience building is they never actually get going, or they give up quickly. This is not a passive course. We'll cover the importance of publishing early and publishing often.
The art & science of pre-suasion
The worldâs more persuasive entrepreneurs all have one thing in common: they understand how to prime an audience BEFORE they try to sell them. After this lesson, youâll know too.
Overcome imposter syndrome
It's time to get your head in the game. You'll identify the fears and challenges that have been holding you back. And you'll learn how to "hack" your brain to push past those barriers and achieve your goals.
Become âthe oneâ on a topic
We live in a noisy, noisy world. To stand out, you need to do lessânot more. You must occupy a single, unique space in your buyer's mind. You'll learn how to identify your space. Or as we like to call it, "your one-ness."
Deeply understand your customer
The more specific you are about who you target, the easier it will be to craft content, messages, and offers that resonate with them. You'll identify your best-fit buyers and learn to think differently about why they really buy.
10x your post engagement
We've all seen new creators pop up and grow huge audiences seemingly overnight. Is their content great? Usually. But is it that much better than everyone else's? Nope. They know the cheat codes to explosive audience growth. After this lesson, so will you.

Find endless content inspiration
You've likely heard the expression, "great artists steal." Well, so do great audience-builders. You'll learn the RIGHT way to steal. That is, how to find inspiration from leaders in your space and ELEVATE their work to make something uniquely yours.
Write scroll-stopping hooks
Face it. Without a snappy hook, no one will pay attention to your content (no matter how good it is). In this lesson, you'll learn the HOW and WHY of writing irresistible, scroll-stopping hooks your audience will love.
Systemize content production and leverage AI
Weâll help you build a Content Generation System that makes it effortless to produce hundreds of content ideas on demand. Use AI to enhance your thinking (not do it for you).
Learn the 7 Fs of attention
Dive deeper into the seven driving forces of attention. Or, as we call them, the 7 Fs. The best creators are masters at leveraging the 7 Fâs to create un-ignorable content. After these 7 eye-popping lessons, youâll know how to become un-ignorable too.
Create your double-down plan
Youâll analyze your traction and choose where you plan to double down. Youâll choose one topic, one audience, and one channel to focus on for the next 100 postsâfocus is key to growth.

What students say about the Un-Ignorable Challenge
FAQ
Questions we're most often asked.
Iâm starting from scratch â will this work for me?
We call this the âcold startâ problem. How can you build an audience if you're publishing content to an audience of zero (ok fine, maybe an audience of 1 â thanks, mom!).Â
It can feel like an insurmountable barrier. And for many new creators, it is.
But thatâs the beauty of Un-ignorable. Youâre not just learning how to build an audience. Your cohort peers will also be your first fans. Youâll be there to engage with and share each otherâs content. Youâll have a built-in hype-team from day one.Â
We'll also help you identify your audience and topic, as well as teach you how to create un-ignorable, intention building content for them.

Is this just another audience building course? Iâve seen a ton of those lately.
So have we. And thatâs a big reason we felt compelled to create Un-ignorable.Â
Most courses are long self-serve video lessons.
Some guru shows you the exact tactics, templates and âformulasâ theyâve used. Actionable â sure. The problem? It leads to thousands of copycats. People using the exact same tactics, quickly making them ineffective for everyone. Worse, these courses donât teach you WHY those methods work. Without a deep understanding of the WHY, youâre completely trapped. Totally dependent on the next big âhackâ to get any results.
Un-ignorable is different. Itâs a cohort-based challenge designed to help you level up. Youâll learn what to do, how to do it, andâmost importantlyâwhy it works.Â
Youâll have questions along the way. Youâll want feedback from your peers and from your instructors. And youâll want to feel confident youâre doing it right. Thatâs exactly what you get.
The best part? A little friendly competition will push you to overcome past stumbling blocks while making a bunch of new friends along the way.
My business is shifting. Should I wait to join until I figure out whatâs next?
No. This challenge will help you to figure out what youâre uniquely great at and how to leverage your One-ness to build a tribe of followers and future buyers.
When you get this part right, magical things can happen. Case in point:
Who is NOT a fit?
Un-ignorable is not a good fit for people who want to grow a company account (e.g., your company's branded Twitter or YouTube account, or corporate profile page on LinkedIn).Â
People relate to people. Which is why the principles and tactics we teach in the course are specifically designed to help you build a following underneath your personal brand (whether you currently have one or not), not your company's brand (or the one you work for).Â
But the goal of your personal brand is to help your company get more customers. You become the relatable person they trust behind the brand.
The best companies these days encourage their entire team to build up their personal brands. It helps them and it helps the company.

Which tier is right for me?
We offer two Un-ignorable plans to choose from, depending on individual factors such as budget and learning style.
Here's the TL;DR of each tier:Â
- Essentials ($800): You learn best with others. In this tier, you get direct access to the instructors via live weekly workshops, as well as two office hour Q&A sessions. Youâll also tap the full power of the community. Youâll be placed into a âsquadâ of ~20 fellow participants. Your squad will hold you accountable, provide feedback, and be your thought partners. Theyâll also be your earliest fans when you start publishing content. Essentials members also get access to two live âfast feedbackâ sessions where youâll break out into small groups to push through barriers, exchange learnings, and brainstorm new tactics and content ideas.â
- VIP ($1,700): The whole shebang. If you absolutely must make audience-building work, this is the tier for you. You get everything from the Live Learner plan, PLUS direct, 1:1 support from the instructors. This includes two 30-minute coaching calls with Katelyn and Neal, an in-depth review of one piece of content, an audit of your social media profile, and access to a live, small group coaching session.
