In this episode, we discuss the critical pre-launch phase—what Brenda calls the “pre-open cart courtship”—and how industries like film use slow-burn anticipation to captivate audiences. She also uncovers common missteps and the essential elements to ensure your next launch hits its mark.

Whether you’re gearing up for a product debut, service launch, or major marketing campaign, Brenda’s expertise will leave you with actionable tips to elevate your strategy and boost your results in 2025. 

About Brenna

Brenna McGowan is a launch strategist & copywriter. She believes that hustle-based, high-pressure program launches don’t serve you or your customers. Instead, she teaches a systemized pre-launch process to put leads through so they’re primed, pre-sold, qualified, and eager to buy your offer. 

By leveraging her pre-launch and Anticipation Marketing™ strategies, Brenna’s clients have tripled — and even quadrupled launch revenue growth — without the frenzy and chaos they used to feel when launching. She also helps her students inside The Pre-Launch Plan Program create strategic pre-launch plans that’ve raked in hundreds of thousands in revenue. When Brenna’s not strategizing or helping clients launch, you can find her walking in her Labradoodle in her Northern California neighborhood, continuing her endless search for the perfect white t-shirt, reading cheesy romance books, or coming to terms with soon becoming an empty-nester.

Heather started her career as a social worker helping adults understand children’s behavior. But it wasn’t until 2013 when a stage 4 cancer diagnosis pushed her to take a deeper stand for change, uncovering how cultural expectations sabotage our dreams. She has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Real Simple Magazine, Mind Body Green, Google, and more. 

When Heather isn’t working, you will find her living out what she teaches which may include kayaking Alaska, snowboarding, hiking, or anything else that challenges what she believes is possible for herself (and inviting her children along the journey).

Kary Perry is a Social Brand Coach and founder of Social From Scratch who flipped the script on her 15 years of marketing experience into multiple six-figure businesses, all by harnessing the power of social media. Her vast experience in attraction marketing and social selling is backed by her MBA from Georgia Tech, years of consumer insights for billion-dollar brands at Procter & Gamble, and nearly a decade as a successful serial entrepreneur.

However, success did not come easily for her. She believes that it wasn't until she stopped marketing her business and started building her brand that she truly began growing. Now she's dedicated to helping women entrepreneurs build intentionally authentic social brands that lead with value and close with trust. Her goal is to help you attract, connect and convert your followers to clients by connecting versus selling, so you can work less, live more, and have fun doing it.

And to prove it, she recently closed her 13k follower account to start from scratch and teach women entrepreneurs exactly what it takes to grow a profitable social brand in 2021.

I help digital marketing leaders manage 100's or 1000's of locations without having to pull their hair out. Allowing national brands to be as agile as their local counterpart. Being exposed to local SEO and digital marketing for the last 15+ years, from bootstrapping my own agency and investing in my own tech stack that costs ~$200k a year to ultimately executing those strategies at scale... I'm happy to connect and share “why” I decided to partner with SOCi. After all, my experience implementing and using common tools like yext, hootsuite, listen360 and various reporting solutions…. I ‘get’ what you need to be successful and plan to solve how to get you there while also avoiding common pitfalls of many marketers.

Dr. Jordin is a Pleasure Expert, Naturopathic Doctor and Author. She is the CEO of the Pleasure Collective, a coaching community for CEOs and founders who want to be as badass in the bedroom as they are in the boardroom. She is the author of The Pink Canary, an investigation into the hidden secret to optimal women’s wellness and podcast host of The Pleasure Principles. She is a regular contributor to articles and TV, including Cityline, Cosmopolitan, and The Washington Post, advocating for women’s health and right to pleasure.

Dr. Jordin gets it, because she was there too. A burnt out, divorced, owner of a 7 figure women's health clinic, feeling stuck and uninspired. Combining her years of medical and holistic knowledge with personal experience and exploration, she unlocked her desires, attracted her reality as a fulfilled CEO, mom, stepmom, doctor, friend, lover, and women’s wellness advocate. She believes that great sex is just the beginning - everything comes when you learn how to receive: better sex, better health, more wealth.
