Side Hustle Summit 2026
This is the first time Brunson and Gadzhi have taught from the same stage, and that pairing is the reason to pay attention: they built two different multimillion dollar audiences with almost opposite playbooks. Over five live sessions they walk through picking a side hustle model, building an AI assisted digital product, and turning it into something real, ending with a live build day.
Why these hosts: Russell Brunson co-founded ClickFunnels, a funnel platform used by well over 100,000 businesses, and has written several bestselling marketing books. Iman Gadzhi founded Consulting.com and co-owns Whop, a marketplace that processes payments for a large number of online sellers. Both built what they teach, not just talk about it.

AI Business Summit
Most people are told to "just use AI" and left to figure out the rest alone. This event is built to close that gap: three live days walking through the actual workflows for creating content, handing off busywork, and launching offers with AI, plus a simple 30-day plan to put it to use instead of another list of tools.
Why this host: Alicia Lyttle is the CEO of AI InnoVision and a TEDx speaker with more than 20 years at the intersection of AI and business strategy, known for explaining AI in plain terms instead of technical jargon. A rotating group of guest operators joins across the three days to cover funding, content, and AI workflows from their own experience.

AI Secrets Challenge
Russell Brunson and Todd Dickerson bootstrapped ClickFunnels® from zero to over a billion dollars in sales with no outside investors. This challenge walks through how they are now rebuilding those same operating systems using AI, spread across a few live sessions instead of the decade it took them the first time.
Why these hosts: Todd Dickerson is the co-founder behind the ClickFunnels® platform's technical architecture. Russell Brunson is the co-founder behind its marketing and strategy, and has written several bestselling marketing books including DotCom Secrets and Expert Secrets. Both are teaching from what they run inside their own company, not from theory.
Courses & Recommendations
Paid training programs and masterminds we've reviewed. Investment and format are shown upfront.
GrowthDay® ULTRA Mastermind
ULTRA is a year-long private mastermind for people who already have some traction and want a structured push to the next level, not a beginner's course. It combines in-person masterminds, live virtual workshops, and ongoing access to a trained AI coaching tool, built around personal performance and business growth together.
Why these hosts: Brendon Burchard, founder of GrowthDay®, is a three-time New York Times bestselling author whom Forbes has called "the world's leading high performance coach." Co-host Lewis Howes is also a three-time New York Times bestselling author and hosts The School of Greatness podcast, which has aired more than 1,800 episodes since 2013. Both taught this material publicly for over a decade before building ULTRA around it.
