You're producing more content than ever, and your pipeline is still unpredictable
If you're a founder or business owner right now, you've probably noticed that lead generation has shifted dramatically over the last 6 months.
AI has made content production faster and cheaper than at any point in history, which sounds like a gift until you realise that every other founder has the same access to the same tools. Feeds are now flooded with generic, recycled posts that sound like they were written by the same handful of language models, and audiences have learned to scroll past them before they finish reading the first sentence.
Most founders I speak to are stuck somewhere in one of 3 situations
Your content output is up and your inbound enquiries are flat
You're posting more than you ever have, you're using AI to speed up the process, and you're still seeing the same handful of likes from the same handful of people. The volume hasn't translated into business conversations, and you're starting to suspect that the platforms are not rewarding what you're producing.
You're spending money on paid acquisition to fill a pipeline that should be filling itself
Cost per lead has climbed steadily through the first half of 2026, and the leads that do come through are converting at lower rates than they used to. You know paid traffic shouldn't be your only channel, but you haven't worked out what the alternative looks like in practice.
Your personal brand has plateaued and you can't quite work out why
You grew quickly when you first started posting, then growth slowed, and now your reach is going backwards even though you're showing up consistently. Something has shifted in the algorithm, the audience, or both, and the strategies that worked 12 months ago are not producing the same results.
The Systems Behind a $25M exit and $85M Valuation in 9 months
Over the last 3 years, I have grown my personal brand from 32,000 followers to over 3 million across LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, and my newsletter. But I am not a creator… I am an entrepreneur who uses my personal brand to drive disproportionate distribution for my businesses, which is why I built and sold a $25 million agency, scaled a healthtech company with my brother to a $125 million valuation, and took my newest business Searchable from scratch to over $2 million in annual recurring revenue and an $85 million valuation in just 9 months.
This event is where I'm going to walk you through the lead generation systems behind all of that.
What Lead Generation Live is
Lead Generation Live is a free 3-hour online masterclass running on the 20th of May 2026 from 2.30 pm to 5.30 pm BST.
Over those 3 hours, I will walk you through the lead generation systems that are actually working in 2026, the LinkedIn algorithm changes from the first quarter of this year that have reshaped what gets distributed, and the AI workflows that are producing genuine inbound enquiries rather than the slop that has flooded everyone's feeds.

Templates, prompts, and workflows you can apply the next day
This event is built to give you everything you need to rebuild your lead generation approach for the second half of 2026 in a single afternoon.
2026 is the year everything changes for founders who understand lead generation
The founders who rebuild their lead generation around what is actually working in 2026 will end the year in a completely different position to those who don't. The ones who figure this out now will build businesses that compound for the next decade, while the ones who don't will continue grinding away and working harder for diminishing returns.
Here's what makes the second half of this year different to anything that has come before it
01
The first quarter of 2026 changed how lead generation works on LinkedIn
A handful of significant algorithm changes in the first 3 months of this year have shifted what gets distributed on LinkedIn and what gets buried.
I'll be sharing a complete breakdown of what changed, what is currently being rewarded, and the specific content formats anyone can use within their own niche.
02
AI has levelled the playing field for distribution. It has also flooded the feed with slop.
Every founder now has access to the same content production tools, which is why your feed is full of generic posts that all sound suspiciously similar. Audiences have learned to scroll past it and the algorithm has learned to deprioritise it.
I'll be walking through exactly how I've built workflows that produce content sounding like nothing else on the platform, across both The Creator Accelerator and Searchable.
03
AI search is the biggest distribution opportunity of the decade, and most founders are completely invisible inside it.
A growing percentage of your prospects are no longer typing their problems into Google. They are asking ChatGPT and Claude for recommendations, and the businesses showing up inside those answers are winning the enquiry before a Google search ever happens.
I'll be walking through what AI search is actually rewarding in 2026 and the specific actions any founder can take to start getting recommended inside the LLMs.
Learn from founders who have actually built what you are trying to build
Alongside my own sessions, I've brought together founders and operators who are running successful businesses right now, and who will be sharing exactly what is working for them in 2026.
Host and lead instructor | Co-founder, Searchable | Built and sold Verb Brands at 29 | Scaled Lottie to a $125 million valuation
Chris built and sold Verb Brands, a digital marketing agency focused on luxury brands, for over £25 million at the age of 29 after bootstrapping it from zero with no external investment. He went on to co-found Lottie with his brother, which was valued at £125 million within 3 years, and earlier this year co-founded Searchable, an AI search analytics platform that has gone from launch to over $2 million in annual recurring revenue and a valuation of $85 million in just 9 months.
Creative Director, Martell Media | Built media operations generating over 1 billion views and $50 million in revenue
Sam is a creative builder who has spent the last decade producing content for some of the biggest figures in the education-based creator economy. He started at the age of 14 and has since generated over 1 billion views across the platforms he works on, resulting in over $50 million in total revenue for the brands he has built or supported. Today, Sam is Creative Director at Martell Media, where he leads a team of 15 creators helping Dan Martell grow his personal brand and helping clients predictably scale their businesses through content.
Founder of Kit | Pioneer of the creator economy | Built a $50 million+ ARR company
As founder of Kit, Nathan Barry has a front-row seat to what's working in the most successful creator businesses in the world. He has built Kit into a $50 million+ ARR company serving hundreds of thousands of creators, and is a strong advocate for teaching everything you know, something he does every week through his newsletter and podcast. Before Kit, Nathan was a designer, author, and blogger. After discovering the power of email marketing, he gave up a successful blogging career to build the company that has since become the standard infrastructure for creators turning audiences into income.
Live case studies from Creator Accelerator alumni
You will also hear directly from founders who have implemented these strategies through The Creator Accelerator and transformed their businesses as a result. They will be sharing the specific outcomes they've achieved, the tactics that made the biggest difference, and the lessons that would have saved them months of trial and error.

Live Attendance Bonuses

Note: These bonuses are only available to live attendees and will not be sent to those who register but do not show up on the day.
The second half of 2026 is when most founders will fall behind. It is also when the rest will pull ahead
Most founders heading into the back half of this year will keep doing what they have been doing, hoping the results will eventually catch up. 6 months from now, they will still be wondering why their content is not producing leads, why their cost per lead keeps climbing, and why their personal brand has stalled out at the same level it was at this time last year.
The founders who use the next 6 months to rebuild their lead generation approach around what is actually working in 2026 will end the year in a different position entirely. The systems we are covering in this event compound. They get cheaper to run, more accurate, and more profitable over time, which means the founders who set them up first will have a structural advantage over everyone who waits.
3 hours is a small price for that advantage.
Limited Capacity
and we're getting close to full
Running an event of this scale with this many speakers means we have to cap live attendance to deliver the experience properly.
We are limiting live attendance to 10,000 people, and we expect this to fill quickly given the size of the audiences our speakers bring. When the spots are gone, registration closes. There is no waitlist and no late entry option. If you are reading this and there is still a registration button visible below, you can still secure your place. If the button has been removed, we have hit capacity.

Frequently asked questions
Is this really free, or is there a catch?
It is genuinely free, with no credit card required and no hidden upsells during the event itself. We run these events because we know that when founders see what is possible with the right systems, some will want to go deeper with us through The Creator Accelerator. There is zero pressure to do that, and you will walk away with implementable strategies regardless of whether you ever work with us.
Will there be a replay available if I can't watch live?
A replay will be available after the event ends. The live attendance bonuses are only being given to those who attend on the day.
Who is this event actually designed for?
This event is for founders, business owners, and operators who want to build a lead generation system that brings clients to them rather than requiring constant manual outreach. Whether you are just starting to build your personal brand or you have been posting for years without seeing tangible business outcomes from it, this event will give you the frameworks to make it convert.
What if I can't make the full 3 hours due to other commitments?
Show up for as much as you can. Each session is designed to stand alone and deliver value, so you will benefit from whatever portion you are able to attend. That said, the most useful insights tend to come from seeing how all the pieces connect together, so try to clear your calendar if at all possible.
I've attended webinars before that were mostly a long sales pitch. How is this different?
We will mention The Creator Accelerator briefly toward the end of the event. The rest of the three hours is built to deliver value regardless of whether you ever work with us, and you will leave with frameworks, templates, and prompts you can apply starting the next day even if you never spend a penny with us afterwards.
