Side Hustle Summit speakers Iman Gadzhi and Russell Brunson

Iman Gadzhi — Creator of Monetize

One of the most-watched business creators on the planet. Iman, 26, runs a 75-person company that reports 8 straight years of profit growth — a streak he says no other company in his space has matched. His media operation is enormous: 70 owned short-form accounts pulling 150 to 300 million views a month, a "narrative department" that once posted 15,000 pieces of content monthly, and multiple YouTube channels segmented by audience level. His ecosystem includes Consulting.com (which he acquired), IAG Media (the agency where he started), and a major stake in a creator-monetization platform that he calls the largest part of his net worth.

His launch machine is what this summit is built on: his last event drew 1.2 million registrants, ran on roughly $2.5 million in ad spend over three weeks, and had 150,000 people watching live at the same time. His flagship product, Monetize, is the core offer of this summit.

Russell Brunson — Co-Founder, ClickFunnels

Author of DotCom Secrets and Expert Secrets, and one of the people who effectively built the modern funnel industry. Russell has spent 26 years in online marketing, co-founded ClickFunnels and grew it into a company still doing about $50 million a year, and has paid out over $200 million in affiliate commissions across a decade of partner launches. His customers report over $1 billion in tracked earnings, and his live event, Funnel Hacking Live, costs $7.2 million just to produce. He's also, delightfully, the owner of what he calls the greatest personal-development book collection on earth — $12 million in rare books, with a museum under construction in Boise to house them.

The Full-Circle Story

Ten years ago, a teenage Iman clicked an ad from "a very expressive American," bought a free-plus-shipping book, took every upsell, and two weeks later was wearing a ClickFunnels t-shirt. That American was Russell. Iman later implemented Russell's Expert Secrets in his own businesses — and at the partner event, another attendee said he built a $75 million business implementing that same book page by page.

Iman said plainly that money wasn't his reason for this event: he wanted to pay respect to Russell and showcase him to a new generation. "I think a lot of people wanted to learn from Russell but not pay respect to the lineage," he told the partner room. Russell called the invitation "a huge gift." Two egos set aside — rare in this industry.

What Each Speaker Brings to the Summit

Iman's team runs the machine: the short-form empire, launches planned to 500-plus tasks in Notion, and guerrilla marketing from billboards in Boise and LA to wrapped taxis in Rio, Mumbai, and London. Russell brings 26 years of storytelling and funnel craft — he spent two full 10-to-12-hour days filming ads for this launch — plus an affiliate network built over a decade. The event itself is a formal operation too: it's run by Prime Mover LLC, an Idaho company, with published partner terms and a dedicated partnerships team. Together they're chasing 2.5 million registrants — the largest online event ever — with celebrity guests being lined up at the time of the briefing.

Our Verdict

Watch this event even just as a student of marketing — seeing these two operators run the biggest launch of their careers is a free education by itself. Here's how to register free.
