I’m sharing the messy (and embarrassing) truth about my failed first attempt at hosting an event in 2017, the internet post that spiraled, and how building a tight-knit community of ordinary business owners made all the difference.

If you think success means doing things big and loud, let’s talk about selling tickets without a huge following, growing slowly, and showing up as your real self—even if that means running things in sweatpants.

Key Takeaways:

  • Revisit your “failures”—what flopped once might thrive when you try it your way, in your season.

  • Build a business community that sees you (not just your stats or so-called “influence”).

  • Trust takes time: Honest conversations, low-pressure sales, and showing up consistently matter way more than a giant following.

This podcast is for business owners who are tired of hustle culture and want relatable, honest conversations about running a sustainable business that actually works for their life.
