The Kelly Roach Show

After a decade of watching platforms rise and fall, trends come and go, and algorithms work against creators, Kelly is breaking down Substack, the platform she didn't expect to love. In this episode, Kelly shares why Substack has quickly become one of the most exciting platforms she's seen for thought leaders, authors, and entrepreneurs who want to monetize depth, not trends. You'll hear the numbers that caught her attention, why smaller audiences are outperforming massive followings, and how Substack creates a rare combination of trust, reach, and ownership that most platforms no longer offer. Kelly also explains how she's using Substack to: Create momentum for her upcoming book, The Sacred Art of Selling Build a passive income stream managed entirely by her team Repurpose years of intellectual property without adding more work Go deeper into thought leadership without diluting core programs If you create long-form content, have years of IP sitting unused, or want a platform that rewards trust over aesthetics, this episode will open your eyes to a different way forward.

In this BONUS live training, Kelly Roach walks you through a 5-pillar mind mapping framework for creating your most aligned, impactful, and profitable year yet. You'll learn why time, not talent, money, or hustle, is the ultimate differentiator between where you are now and where you want to go. This training challenges the two extremes entrepreneurs often fall into: over-planning without execution or over-executing without strategy, and shows you how to bring both into alignment. Kelly explains why congruence with your calling, intentional life architecture, and clarity of vision must come before business goals if you want sustainable growth without burnout. You'll also hear how faith, family, fulfillment, and finances can coexist, and why your business should fuel your life, not compete with it.
