So I'm up on a stage with my wife in front of 3,000 people, and he hands me a $133,000 check.

What? I'll tell you about it in this episode.

Marketing your business is for you, the business owner, who has a product, a service, or a message that you believe in.

My name is Stu McLaren,

and each week we'll take a behind-the-scenes look into the real-world marketing tactics and

strategies for getting what you have in front of a lot more people. Thanks for spending some

time with me today. Now let's get started. So picture this. I'm walking through the airport with one of those oversized checks for $133,000. Yes, it is a fun adventure to bring these oversized checks home. And we've done it multiple times because we have an unbelievable support from a small

group of really incredible people. And so I was on my way home from Russell Brunson's Funnel Hacking

Live event. And he and his business partner Todd had just presented our charity with a check for $133,000.

And it's kind of mind-blowing when you see this on a check.

And then you just think about like what kind of an impact that that's going to have for all

of the kids that we help over in Kenya.

But here's what's amazing about this,

is that I come out of this event.

And I just,

sometimes I have to just take a step back

and just appreciate, like, what's been happening.

And to his credit, like Russell and his business partner, Todd,

and the whole ClickFunnels team,

right from the get-go, like when they launched their company, many, I don't know, was that three, four years ago,

one of the things that they did was that they intentionally wove this contribution into their entire business model.

So ClickFunnels is obviously a phenomenal service that helps people get their online sales funnels and so forth up online.
