ourselves on the top of the leaderboard for the different launches that we've participated in as an

affiliate. And particularly, I'll be

pulling from my experiences affiliating for my friend Selena Suze impacting millions launch in

2022, as well as the Beyond TV boot camp hosted by Jen Gottlieb and Chris Winfield, which I affiliated for, I believe, twice actually.

And for both of these launches, I landed in the top three for their respective affiliate

leaderboards. And this was oftentimes in a pool of dozens, if not more than 100 affiliates,
