trust-made ventures

Guessing, going it alone, and chasing trends are for amateurs and freelancers. That's not you. You're building from expertise and experience. And your business should show it.

In this webinar, I'm going to teach my hard-won lessons going from COO of a $30M award-winning advice business to building expertise businesses along side our clients from start-up to $100M. We have been breaking through the AI economy everywhere knowledge is delivered and sold from software to consulting to education. These principles cost me a lot to learn, and I want you to learn from my scars without collecting your own.

I’m going to teach you the 7 foundations to building a venture that:


• Has a Clear Path to $3M: Grows from $0 to $300k/month within 24 months without you having to work 80 hours a week to make it happen. Don’t just “replace your income” and end up living on less. Build a revenue model that grows with your goals.

• Feels Great to Run: Allows you to work only with clients you'll love and who appreciate your values-aligned approach, your specific areas of expertise, and the exact kind of services you excel in delivering, saving you from the “fog the glass’ problem that plagues almost every new venture in first few years.

• Builds a Life, not just an Job: Most founders get trapped in running a business that looks like their employee life, only worse. Not you. My system will give you the freedom and control you've been looking for, without feeling like you have to sacrifice your socio-psychological well-being just to keep the lights on.

We go live Tuesday, September 22, at 12pm ET / 11am CT. See you there!

Webinar agenda:

Trust-Made Growth® insights for experienced professionals ready to take the entrepreneurial next step:

  • The 7 things you need to turn your hard-won professional knowledge and expertise into a premium offer clients will pay for over what AI can provide.
  • How to recognize and solve for the trust-resistance that's embedded in today's buyer of expert services before you ever sell a single offer—allowing you to effectively compete against the low effort AI competition in the market.
  • The specific trust-eating activities you'll likely engage in if you choose to go it alone, and how you can avoid them altogether so that every bit of marketing and selling you do grows your network.
  • The path to having $30k-$300k months in your new business without sacrificing your values or your well-being to make it happen.

Who this live training event is for

This webinar is for mid-career professionals, executives, and leaders who have years of domain expertise under their belt and who are ready to step into all they're made of by becoming a founder and entrepreneur. More specifically, it's for the founders and future founders who already know that returning to the corporate job isn't an option, who have a strong set of values and a way of getting results in their industry, and who want to finally have the freedom and lifestyle that being a well-paid expert will give them—without struggling through burnout or giving up their principles to make it happen. 

If you believe, as we do, that trust is essential, relationships are how business gets done, and that the future was made for human thriving, then you're in the right place. Your host Nick Richtsmeier will share what he's learned building ventures from $0 to $100M and the path for you to build the profitable and expansive future you know is possible. 

Live on Tuesday, Sep 22 at 12pm ET/11am CT

Led by Nick Richtsmeier, Host of Damns Given and Principal at CultureCraft 

Addresses the Specific Issues Facing Founders Coming from the Corporate World

MEET your workshop host

Nick Richtsmeier

All my work and the work of our teams is to invite you consider a possibility: that the firm you have in your mind, the one that grows past the successes you already had, past the old constraints, the one that serves more people, deepens your values, and expands the good you are already doing to more clients and more communities - that firm - is not only possible, it is the one thing you should be focusing on next.

This webinar  is an opportunity for you to consider how you can realistically grow your venture in today's economy without playing the extractive games that monopolistic big tech platforms ask you to do in the name of reach. Learn how you and your team can stay in alignment with your values, build trust with a wider audience, and enter your next stage of growth with intentionality. And the good news? The very actions you'll need to take to get and keep clients in today's environment are also those which feel good, foster deep relationships, and build ventures that will last 100 years.

Watch and receive tangible insights that apply to your current stage of growth, based on real-world experience doing this with founders just like you who were able to build for their next era without losing themselves along the way.

The time for experienced leaders like you to step up is now. This webinar will show you the 7 steps you need to be a force for good in today's trustbroken economy.

We go live September 22nd. See you there.
