It’s skeletons-on-the-lawn season, but we’re talking holiday sales—because nothing is scarier than hitting December with “vibes + a coupon code.” In this episode, I break down why an AI-assisted plan is your unfair advantage this year and what actually goes into a calm, zero-chaos strategy you can stick to. (The step-by-step how happens live in my upcoming masterclass—details below.)

You’ll learn:

Why books are still the cozy, affordable gift (even when the economy is wonky AF)
The 6-rung Holiday Ladder: Spark → Launch → Amplify → Ship → Digital Pivot → New-Year Reset
How to pick one seasonal win and a giftable hero offer readers actually want
Why a real ship-by date saves your sanity—and how to pivot to all-digital after
The only 3 KPIs worth watching (no spreadsheet monsters)
A quick on-air prompt to craft your 20-word “perfect gift” hook in ChatGPT
