Shownotes

If you’re running a seven or eight-figure business and your calendar still looks like a game of Whac-A-Mole, it’s time to think bigger—and smarter. In this episode, host Jessica Marx sits down with April Beach, business strategist and licensing expert, to unpack how to turn your intellectual property into scalable, high-revenue assets.

April reveals the exact process her clients use to close five- and six-figure licensing deals with hospitals, universities, and global organizations—without launching more offers or burning out their teams. You’ll discover how to monetize your frameworks, trainings, and courses through licensing models that grow recurring revenue, expand brand visibility, and free you from the constant cycle of creation.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Identify what content or programs in your business are licensable assets.
  • Understand the three levels of licensing—from simple content fillers to full “business-in-a-box” programs
  • Protect your intellectual property with the right trademark and copyright strategies.
  • Follow April’s 7-step licensing roadmap—from strategy and pricing to repeatable sales and delivery systems
  • Use licensing to build wealth and influence while creating more freedom in your schedule.


Licensing isn’t just about scaling your business—it’s about reclaiming your time and creating an ecosystem that works for you. 

If you’re ready to scale beyond launches and build a business that works for you—not the other way around—listen now and start turning your expertise into recurring revenue.
