Why We Rebuilt Anti-Social School™ from the Ground Up (Even Though It Was Working)
Oct 13, 2025
The Bold Decision: Rebuilding What Was Already “Working”
When people hear that I completely rebuilt my flagship program, Anti-Social School™, their first question is always: Why?
The program wasn’t broken. In fact, it was thriving. Students were enrolling consistently, results were strong, and the system was proven. By every business metric, Anti-Social School™ was a success story.
But here’s the thing about building a life-first, sustainable business: success isn’t just about what works on paper. It’s about alignment, scalability, and impact. And even though Anti-Social School™ was working, I couldn’t shake the sense that it could be better.
That gut feeling led to one of the boldest moves in my business: scrapping what was already working to rebuild something even more powerful.
Why “Good Enough” Isn’t Always Enough
Here’s the truth: many entrepreneurs keep running programs, offers, or services because they “work.” They bring in revenue. Clients are satisfied. Nothing is “wrong.”
But if you’re honest, sometimes you can feel the cracks. Maybe:
-
The structure doesn’t scale well.
-
The content feels outdated.
-
You’re bored teaching the same modules.
-
Clients are finishing—but not transforming.
For me, the cracks showed up in subtle ways. I noticed clients asking for more personalized support, more implementation time, and tools that could help them move faster. And on my side? I wanted to infuse more innovation into the program.
So I asked myself: Am I settling for “good enough,” or am I willing to reimagine what’s possible?
That question changed everything.
What Changed Inside the New Anti-Social School™
When I say we rebuilt Anti-Social School™ from the ground up, I mean it. This wasn’t a tweak or an update—it was a reimagining.
We re-recorded every lesson, redesigned the entire client journey, and infused technology and strategy in ways that make the program not just a course, but an experience.
A More Streamlined Curriculum
The old modules worked, but they were heavy. We stripped everything down to its essentials, re-recording each lesson with clarity, brevity, and action in mind. Students can now implement faster, without feeling bogged down by fluff.
AI-Powered Support
One of the biggest innovations? Every module now comes with its own micro-niched AI bot. Instead of spending coaching calls stuck on copywriting, design, or brainstorming, students can draft faster with the AI tools—then bring execution-level questions to live coaching. This one change has saved countless hours and transformed the way students interact with the program.
More Breathing Room
Instead of six weeks of support, students now get 90 days. Why? Because transformation takes time. This expanded timeline gives students room to implement without pressure, while still maintaining momentum.
The 24-Hour Win Promise
Here’s one of my favorite changes: every student is guaranteed a win within the first 24 hours. It might be clarity on their niche, their first email drafted with an AI bot, or a mapped-out funnel. That quick momentum builds confidence—and confidence fuels results.

Behind the Scenes: Rebuilding the Funnel
Of course, a new program meant a new funnel. And just like the course itself, I knew we couldn’t just patch the old one. We needed a full rebuild.
We started with voice-of-customer interviews, listening deeply to past clients’ words and experiences. Every landing page, every email, every headline was rewritten with real client language—not marketing jargon.
We also created a brand new live workshop as the entry point, integrated a private podcast for on-the-go learning, and rebuilt our email sequences to feel more conversational and personalized. Gone were the days of long, formulaic launch emails. In their place? Short, curiosity-driven notes, bonus resources, and yes—a few well-placed AI-powered interactions.
We even added quarterly free workshops branded under Anti-Social School™ to give the program its own identity and cadence throughout the year.
Testing, Grassroots-Style
Instead of rushing into a splashy launch, we chose a grassroots testing model.
We invited a handful of trusted affiliates—people who truly understood our mission—to send just two emails each. We offered meaningful rewards, collected real-time feedback, and iterated quickly.
The result? A smoother funnel, clearer messaging, and validation without the overwhelm of a massive launch.
And here’s the actionable takeaway for you: you don’t need a giant launch to validate a new offer. Start small. Use trusted partners. Test, listen, adjust.
What This Means for You (Actionable Steps)
Whether you’re running a coaching program, a group container, or a course, there’s a lesson here: sometimes the path to growth isn’t starting something new—it’s reimagining what already exists.
Here’s how you can apply this process to your own business:
Step 1: Audit Your Current Offer
Ask yourself:
-
Where are students getting stuck?
-
Which parts of the program feel outdated or heavy?
-
What feedback keeps resurfacing?
Step 2: Gather Voice-of-Customer Data
Interview past clients. Ask open-ended questions. Pay attention to the exact words they use—you’ll use those words later in your funnel copy.
Step 3: Simplify Your Curriculum
More modules aren’t always better. Instead of adding, ask: what can I streamline? What can I make faster to implement?
Step 4: Infuse Innovation
This doesn’t have to be AI. It could be new templates, a mobile app, or an accountability system. What small innovation could create a big shift in your students’ experience?
Step 5: Expand Support Thoughtfully
If your clients feel rushed, consider extending your program timeline. More time often leads to more transformation.
Step 6: Promise Quick Wins
Confidence builds momentum. Ask yourself: what’s one result my students can achieve in the first 24 hours? Build it into your onboarding.
Step 7: Rebuild Your Funnel With Empathy
Stop writing copy for “ideal clients” and start writing in your real clients’ words. Focus less on selling and more on inviting.
Step 8: Test Small, Scale Later
Don’t pressure yourself into a massive launch. Start with affiliates, soft launches, or beta groups. Scale after you’ve validated.
Case Study: Reimagining a Health Coaching Program
To make this practical, let’s apply it to a different niche.
Imagine you’re a health coach running a six-week group program. It’s fine—people sign up, some finish, results are decent. But you feel it could be more impactful.
You interview past clients and learn they don’t need twelve lessons—they only need three. They want more support, but over a longer period of time. And they’d love a tool to help with meal planning.
So you rebuild. You create three streamlined modules, add a simple AI-powered meal-planning bot, expand support to ninety days, and promise that clients will plan their next three meals within the first 24 hours.
Instead of a massive launch, you partner with three affiliates, test it quietly, and refine.
The result? More engaged clients, stronger results, and a program that feels alive again.
Final Thoughts: Stop Settling for “Good Enough”
Rebuilding Anti-Social School™ wasn’t about fixing something broken. It was about refusing to settle for “good enough” when “extraordinary” was possible.
The truth is, your programs don’t just serve your clients—they reflect your values. If you’re craving simplicity, sustainability, or innovation, your offers should reflect that.
So here’s the question: Where are you settling for “good enough”? And what might happen if you gave yourself permission to imagine what could be better?
You don’t have to start from scratch. But you do have to start.
If this sparked ideas for your own offer, I’d love to hear from you. Send me a DM on Instagram or join the conversation on the Crush the Rush Podcast.
