  • Cold Email Isn’t Dead, You’re Just Doing It Wrong

    Cold Email Isn’t Dead, You’re Just Doing It Wrong
    Feb 26 2026
    In this episode of For Badass Entrepreneurs ONLY!, Dan Gordon sits down with Adam Rosen, founder of Email Outreach Company, to break down what actually works in cold email today. Adam explains why “cold email doesn’t work” unless you do the fundamentals correctly, and what A-through-Z really means in a world where Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft are tightening inbox rules. You’ll learn the biggest cold email mistakes, why links in first emails hurt deliverability, and how “spin tax” keeps outreach from looking like spam. Adam also shares a simple framework for high-converting copy, the surprising subject line that performs best, and a clever PS strategy that boosts replies while doing good in the world. If you want more meetings, better reply rates, and a cleaner approach to outreach, this episode is packed with practical, real-world guidance.

    Five Badass Q&As
    Q1: Is cold email dead?
    A1: Cold email doesn’t work if you don’t know what you’re doing. But if you do the full setup properly, it can still deliver strong results today.
    Q2: What are the biggest mistakes people make with cold email?
    A2: Sending from a main domain, writing long emails with links, skipping personalization, using low-quality lists that bounce, and not using spin tax are common deal-breakers.
    Q3: What is “spin tax” and why does it matter now?
    A3: Spin tax randomizes parts of an email so each message looks slightly different, improving inbox placement. It’s now a must-have because providers are filtering mass emails more aggressively.
    Q4: Should you include a link in the first cold email?
    A4: No. Links increase spam risk. The better move is to ask a simple question first, then send the link after they reply.
    Q5: What are the three essentials to run a successful cold email campaign?
    A5: Solid infrastructure, a clear ideal customer and accurate lists, and high-converting copy that earns replies and meetings.

    Five Badass Quotes
    “Cold email does not work. And you’re right, if you don’t know what you’re doing.”
    “If you don’t do A through Z right, you don’t stand a chance.”
    “Once they reply, the walls are down. You’re in the safe zone.”
    “AI is only as powerful and effective as the input you provide.”
    “Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages.”

    Five Badass Takeaways
    Cold email still works, but only with the right infrastructure and deliverability setup.
    Short, simple emails outperform long emails, especially when you avoid links early.
    Spin tax can protect inbox placement by making every email feel unique.
    High-converting copy follows a clear structure: purpose, problem, solution, proof, and a simple CTA.
    Replies matter for domain health, and creative PS strategies can increase replies dramatically.

  • How One Mistake Led to Major Success - Coach Dan Gordon

    How One Mistake Led to Major Success - Coach Dan Gordon
    Dec 5 2025
    In this special episode of For Badass Entrepreneurs ONLY!, Coach Dan Gordon visits The Passive Wealth Strategy Show Podcast with Podcaster Taylor Loht. Dan shares how we transformed his devastating mistake into a life-changing opportunity by embracing risks and overcoming internal fears. This conversation is packed with insights on perseverance, self-compassion, and the importance of learning from failures. Take advantage of Dan's powerful lessons and actionable advice for entrepreneurs looking to elevate their game in real estate and beyond.

    Five Badass Q&As
    Q1: Coach Dan, can you tell us about the mistake that cost you $80,000 and how you bounced back?
    A1: Back in 2016, I hired a pathological liar who destroyed my marketing company, costing me $80,000. It was a painful experience, but it forced me to pivot and pursue my true passion—helping others as a business coach. This journey from the floor to the stage was a massive transformation.
    Q2: What’s the difference between internal and external problems, and why is it important to solve internal problems first?
    A2: Internal problems are about self-perception and beliefs, while external problems are situational. Solving internal issues is crucial because our internal state influences how we handle external challenges. Our minds focus on safety, often holding us back from taking necessary risks.
    Q3: How can entrepreneurs learn to take more significant risks without being paralyzed by fear?
    A3: Entrepreneurs need to understand that fear is valid but often exaggerated. By building a relationship with their fears and showing self-compassion, they can reduce stress and take calculated risks. It’s about recognizing that fear is trying to protect us, not paralyze us.
    Q4: What advice would you give someone who feels like giving up after a failure?
    A4: Don’t give up after the first setback. Consider pivoting if you’ve gone splat against the wall five or six times and it’s still not working. Study successful people; they fail often but learn from each failure. Trust empirical evidence over your feelings.
    Q5: How important is being kind to yourself as an entrepreneur?
    A5: Being kind to yourself is essential. Harsh self-criticism only leads to exhaustion and burnout. Treat yourself with compassion, recognize the validity of your fears, and reassure yourself that mistakes are part of the learning process. This approach fosters resilience and long-term success.

    Five Badass Quotes
    1. You create any situation you find yourself in to free yourself.
    2. Fear is valid. It's trying to protect us, not paralyze us.
    3. If nothing scares you on your calendar, you’re wasting your life.
    4. Don't wait until you feel ready; you'll never feel ready.
    5. Successful people try and fail many times before they succeed.

    Five Badass Takeaways
    1. Embrace and learn from your mistakes; they reveal your true potential.
    2. Internal problems need solving first to handle external challenges effectively.
    3. Self-compassion reduces stress and fosters resilience in entrepreneurship.
    4. Don’t give up after initial failures; persistence and learning lead to success.
    5. Taking risks is essential for growth; don’t let fear hold you back.

  • Amazon Fba Guru Shares Million Dollar Strategies - Michael Veazey

    Amazon Fba Guru Shares Million Dollar Strategies - Michael Veazey
    Nov 29 2025
    Join Coach Dan Gordon as he chats with Michael Veazey, a leading expert in Amazon sales and founder of the 10k Collective, a mastermind group for highearning entrepreneurs. Michael shares his insights on Amazon private labeling, market research, and the importance of branding. Learn how his clients collectively sell over $10 million annually and get tips on how to navigate the competitive landscape of Amazon FBA. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned seller, this episode is packed with valuable advice to help you succeed in the ecommerce world. Tune in for actionable strategies and inspiration to take your Amazon business to the next level!

    Five Badass Q&As
    Q1: What is Amazon private labeling and how do you get into it?
    A1: Private labeling involves using someone else’s product and putting your own logo on it. However, it's evolved into what I call private label 2.0, where you develop unique aspects of the product. Amazon FBA lets thirdparty sellers use Amazon’s platform to reach customers.
    Q2: What should you consider before deciding to sell a product on Amazon?
    A2: First, ask yourself if it’s a good idea. Research the market to see if there’s demand and low competition. Use tools like Helium 10 and Jungle Scout to gather data. Remember, the size of the market doesn't guarantee your success; focus on the market share you can capture.
    Q3: What are the key steps to promoting a product once it's on Amazon?
    A3: Focus on advertising and great SEO. Choose keywords carefully and use them in your listing title and bullet points. Amazon's automatic advertising can also help. Getting your product in front of people is crucial, as Amazon has high conversion rates.
    Q4: Should you sell on multiple channels or just focus on Amazon?
    A4: It depends on your business stage. For beginners, it’s better to focus on one platform and master it before expanding. Running a not very functional Shopify site alongside Amazon can be timeconsuming and unproductive.
    Q5: What are some common mistakes Amazon sellers make?
    A5: One major mistake is not taking seriously what's working and trying to make failing products succeed. Be willing to walk away from products that don’t show promise and focus on optimizing and marketing successful ones.

    Five Badass Quotes
    1. Different is better than better.
    2. Amazon is the Google of physical products.
    3. Market research is key to successful private labeling.
    4. Branding can make a huge difference in a crowded market.
    5. Focus on what works and let go of what doesn’t.
    Five Badass Takeaways
    1. Market research is crucial before launching any product.
    2. Branding and unique product features are essential for success.
    3. Use Amazon’s advertising and SEO tools effectively.
    4. Be willing to abandon failing products and focus on winners.
    5. Selling on Amazon requires time, money, and commitment.
