ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • Welcome to the 542nd episode of the And So… Podcast!! In this episode, I walk you through what it really feels like to be mid-build on a course while still running the rest of your business — all the checkboxes, all the backend chaos, and why slow, messy progress still counts as forward motion.

PODCAST EPISODE SYNOPSIS

This week’s Business Nugget is a behind-the-scenes look at what it actually feels like to build something new — in my case, a course for The House of Sugar Creek — while still juggling everything else. I’m walking you through the real checklist (not just the cute one), the overwhelm that hits mid-way, and why “just recording some videos” turns into a full-blown tech stack spiral. If you’re in the thick of it too, this one’s for you — a gentle reminder that slow progress is still progress, even when it’s not shiny yet.
