The Tarryn Reeves Show
What does it actually take to build a life and business that means something?
The Tarryn Reeves Show is a podcast about the ideas that shape who we become.
Hosted by entrepreneur, author and publisher Tarryn Reeves, each episode explores the conversations, questions and experiences that influence how we live, lead, create and contribute. Through thoughtful interviews with entrepreneurs, authors, creators and original thinkers, alongside personal reflections from Tarryn, the show examines what it means to build something that genuinely matters.
At the heart of every conversation is a simple belief: ordinary people are capable of extraordinary impact. One honest idea, shared with courage and generosity, has the power to change another person's life.
You'll hear conversations about leadership, communication, identity, resilience, storytelling, marketing, publishing, the creator economy and the human experience; not as isolated topics, but as different expressions of the same enduring question: How do ordinary people realise the extraordinary potential they already possess and use it to leave the world better than they found it?
If you're looking for thoughtful conversations that leave you with a new perspective, a better question or a little more courage, you're in the right place.

Conversion Rate Optimization Lessons from a $6 Million Website Fix
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if the reason your website isn't converting has nothing to do with your traffic?
In this episode of The Tarryn Reeves Show, I sit down with Matthew Stafford, managing partner at Build Grow Scale, to unpack the data-driven website optimization strategies helping e-commerce brands scale past seven and eight figures.
With over 30 years of entrepreneurial experience and a track record mentoring thousands of store owners, Matt reveals why the average e-commerce website converts at just 2%, and how small, human-behavior-driven changes to a site's messaging, navigation, and post-purchase experience can create massive revenue lifts, including one tweak that generated an estimated $6 million in additional annual revenue for a single client.
This conversation goes beyond typical e-commerce advice. We talk about the psychology behind buying decisions, why "traffic isn't your problem," and why clarity will always outperform persuasion when it comes to converting website visitors into paying customers.
In This Episode:
- Why the average e-commerce site converts at only 2%, and how to beat it
- The one post-purchase question responsible for six of Matt's biggest client wins
- Why your homepage shouldn't try to sell (and what it should do instead)
- The real reason store owners get stuck below seven figures
- How to use website data to remove guesswork from conversion optimization
- Why "clarity trumps persuasion" and what that means for your copy
- The role of email, storytelling, and personality in e-commerce growth
- How AI is reshaping e-commerce optimization and what to do about it now
If you're an entrepreneur, store owner, or marketer wondering why your website isn't converting the way it should, this episode will change how you think about your traffic, your homepage, and your data forever.
