About The Influencers Formula

Hi, it’s Donna and Ben!


People often ask us, Donna and Ben, how do I stand out so I can make a bigger impact with my message—and have the freedom and lifestyle I want?


Our answer starts with these words from our wise friend Abe:


“Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”

– Abraham Lincoln, 16th US President


So we've created The Influencers Formula™ to help you discover the same tools, techniques, strategies, and perspectives that we use to make success happen. And to make a bigger impact with your message, business, and brand!


We’re on a mission to help you make the good choices that bring high-ticket clients and profitable opportunities—instead of losing dozens of years and millions of dollars.


Enjoy financial-, time-, and creative freedoms so you can share your message and make a difference!


Thanks for being here and reading these words. May they support your happiness, health, success, and impact!

Inspired by THE INFLUENCERS FORMULA, the #1 bestselling book in three countries!

I remember those magic words when Donna came to me and said, 'Hey, we're here to help you succeed.' Donna and her team delivered for us. The process was straightforward and easy to implement. We’ve been using the platform to expand our network, marketing, and brand presence like never before. Thank you, Donna!

Jason “Wally” Waldron, Exitology

I've not known anyone, any summit host, that creates a space for people to come together and just talk, connect, network, and reflect deeply. Donna asks really profound questions that lead us to reflect and share our thoughts—a rare and golden experience.

Donna Kunde has added so much value to my life. She is a gifted connector of the right-fit people and deeply cares about the success of others. She created a system that turns radio shows into podcasts into books over a three-month period, helping me publish content in three best-selling categories in the U.S. and one in Australia. I cannot recommend enough working with Donna.

Daniel Hammond, Author and Business Interrogator

Donna is a high-energy, organized entrepreneur with a heart for people and service.

Richard Finck, Pastor at Grace Lutheran Church

I attended a fabulous Masterclass with (Ben Gioia) and Donna Kunde titled ‘Don't Die With Your Story Inside’. There were so many takeaways about branding, marketing, and refining the creative process during those brief 90 minutes.

Jim Donadio, ERG Subject Matter Expert, HR Professional

Working with Donna has been fantastic. Her expertise, professionalism, and passion for helping others succeed make her an exceptional business partner. Thanks to her guidance, The Digital Download now reaches over 30 million listeners in 120 countries on the Influence Radio Network.

Rob Durant, Host of The Digital Download

When I asked one of my ideal clients why they decided to call me instead of another coach, it was because they listened to one of my podcasts. I'm so grateful that I took the initiative and to have Donna and her team to cheer me on & guide me through the process, so I can take my business to the next level... not solely to have people come and work with me, but to make an impact on a larger scale, reaching more people.

I have now had the pleasure of sitting through a group activity led by Donna twice now, and was blown away both times. In my role as Assistant Branch Manager, I get the opportunity to sit through many educational seminars, guest speakers and networking presentations and Donna is one of my favorites. Her dedication and belief in what she does in addition to her laid-back, down-to-earth personality really helps connect her with her audience. She personalizes and shares each experience with the group so you can see the effect it has had on her personally. She truly helps motivate you to believe in yourself and your ability to change your situation, which is easier than you may think. I look forward to continuing to work with Donna, and encourage you to do the same!
