Welcome to the Flip Lifestyle podcast where life always comes before work. We're your host, Shane and Jocelyn Sam. We're a real family that figured out how to make our entire living online. And now we help other families do the same. Are you ready to flip your life? All right. Let's get started. You're like this weird, like, part of our life because, like, you and Jocelyn talk all the time. And I always think, and I always think about fancy pictures and I hear your voice just floating through my house on Voxter sometimes. And you guys always get fancy pictures on all your trips. So, like, you're, you're like on my dresser. Like, I'm walking around my house. I'm stalking you in your own house. Yes, right. Like, so you, so you are a strong presence in the Sam's household, Aaron Chase. All right. So, ditto back this direction. Yeah, that's right. I love it. That's hilarious. So tell everybody a little bit about what you do online because you do a lot. And just to give us some context, and I got some awesome questions because you've got an awesome membership site going there. I do. I'm really excited to get to share any fun nuggets, too. I always like to dig these up because it's like, I am not about that in a while,

but I know it's going to be helpful for somebody who is either in the beginning of membership sites

or thinking about it or even further down the road because we do a lot of fancy, schmancy things here and there.

So I started $5 dinners 12 plus years ago. And it's a place where we share

budget-friendly recipes and just helpful tips and tricks and articles for spending less money on

groceries and feeding your family every day without losing your mind. That's basically the premise of $5.00 dinners.

And we have just been a content machine there on $5 dinners for 12 years.

And it's ebbed and flowed.

We've ramped it up and we've scaled it back.

And then as we've spun off different products, we've scaled it back and um and then as we've spun off different

products we've kind of adjusted you know based off of the different products that we have

created from what our community wanted um that's how all of our products have come to be it's

basically people asking i want this and i want this in a better format. So we create a better format.

And that's how we have built out our two membership sites. And we also have three courses and a

physical product store, like a Shopify store as well. And so we've created all of those as their

own sort of products or even brands and then they all

live under the like aaron chase umbrella if you will and so that's been um a process you know sort of

building them all out and then of course you know putting them under the, like, I'm just here to

help you spend less money on groceries and feed your family without losing your mind.

So that's, that's the ultimate, the ultimate goal and the setup, if you will, of kind of how

we've got everything online. Yeah. That 12 years is like 180 years in a normal business. You know that, right?

Like, that's like in online business terms, that's like you're like dinosaur roaming the earth.
