About the show

Behind the offer.

Every campaign you see has a story behind it that nobody posts: the angle that almost didn’t get tested, the funnel step that carries the profit, the week everything broke. This show is where operators tell it.

Why this show

Most marketing content is either theory or a highlight reel. We wanted the conversation operators have with each other after the conference talk: what the offer really is, where the buyers come from, what the funnel does after the click, and what it all makes once the refunds come in.
