Getting noticed in a crowded and oversaturated market is difficult. No matter how much content you create, you get lost in the noise, making it hard to build credibility and reach new audiences.

In this episode, Ishveen Jolly teaches us how to leverage influencer partnerships even on a small budget. She reveals how to find authentic connections between athletes/celebrities and your coaching or course business, negotiate deals starting as low as $250 or even product exchanges, and repurpose that content across multiple channels for maximum impact.

Ishveen also shares creative partnership models beyond simple promotions, including co-creating specialized courses and building long-term affiliate relationships that can transform your marketing strategy.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
