I didn’t plan it.
It just kinda happened… and then it became a “thing”.
A few years back, I was doing a live session in my Launch Masterclass, when out of the corner of my eye, I saw it…
Right next to my camera was a squirrel.
And this thing is just going nuts.
Now I’m live with thousands of people. So I’m doing everything I can to stay focused and not get distracted, but I can’t help it…
… my eyes keep wandering over to this little guy scampering all over my deck.
I knew I had to say something.
Dan and I laughed about it. And by the next session, he’d rigged up a second camera and “Squirrel Cam” was born.
Moments like that often feel like mistakes. But every year since, there’s always someone who asks:
“Is there a squirrel cam this year?”
Yeah, it is kinda ridiculous. But “squirrel cam” is what launching is all about – showing up live, figuring things out in real time, and leaning into whatever happens.
In this clip from Dare to Launch, Chris, Dan, and I get into this more – including the full “squirrel cam” story… and how you can use “mistakes” to build a closer connection to your audience.
