Our own @Des Dreckett and @Katya McEwen are teaming up to bring amazing value in this free session you won't want to miss! Here is what Des has to say: Ever run a live event that felt flat, even though the content was good? That makes sense, and it's not your fault. Nobody tells you that the "hop on a call and listen" format is working against you before you've said a word. People are half-watching with three other tabs open, and attention drifts no matter how strong your material is. There's a simple fix, and it's not more slides. On Tuesday 21st July, I'm hosting a live session with Katya McEwen on interactive tools. Think quizzes, worksheets, calculators and assessments that people actually use during your event, instead of passively watching it. Here's what we'll cover: I'll do a live Claude walkthrough and build a simple interactive tool from scratch, so you can see it's genuinely not complicated once you know how Katya will share her design process, show real examples of the tools she uses, and explain how they've helped grow her community We'll look at how to run these during a presentation without sending people down a rabbit hole while you're talking How one or more calls to action at the end of a quiz can lift your last-click conversions, including "book a call" links that get used even by non-members Katya is also gifting one of her interactive tools to attendees, which you can rebrand and use in your own niche. When: Tuesday 21st July, 5pm London / 12pm New York / 9am Los Angeles Where: Zoom, link shared before the session If you've ever wondered why your events get polite attendance but no momentum afterwards, this session is for you.

For YouTube and content creators who are tired of watching a good video die on a weak thumbnail. On Thursday, 23 July, 3 pm ET / 12 pm PT, I'm running a live 60-minute session: Click Magnet Thumbnails. We build them live in Canva and a couple of AI tools using high-contrast design, emotional faces, minimal text, single focal points, and a few psychology-backed techniques that lift click-through. You leave with a repeatable system you can use on your next upload. Community link: https://www.skool.com/content-revenue-lab-4761/about Des Dreckett, The Content Revenue Lab
