Misty has a gift for turning real-life experience into relatable, no-fluff stories that lead with heart, empower with clarity, and inspire action...with just the right mix of wit, wisdom, and bold honesty.

Certified SPEAKER

Hello, nice to meet you!

I'm Misty Kortes

I’m Misty Kortes, entrepreneur, author, speaker, and founder of The Community Launchpad. With over 30 years of experience and a no-fluff approach, I help 40+ entrepreneurs turn their skills and passions into profitable online communities so they can finally ditch burnout and build a freedom-based business they love.

After building a successful agency (and realizing I’d just created another job), I pivoted to create a business that fits into my life, not the other way around. Now I help others do the same with my signature framework, The Community Cashflow Code™.

When I’m not leading my community or speaking on stage, you’ll find me recording episodes of The Misty Kortes Show, exploring new places, or spending time with friends, my high school sweetheart (31+ years strong), and our four amazing kids.
