The Month I Turned 46 and Showed TF Up in My Business

Let me just say it—July was fucking awesome. After a season of mostly behind-the-scenes content creation (and zero solo podcast episodes for all of 2024), I came back in a big way.

Inside this July Roundup episode, I’m taking you behind the curtain of the best month I’ve had in business since 2023. I’m walking through what worked, what I retired just as fast as I launched it, and how I’m thinking about client experience, visibility, and high-touch offers for the rest of 2025.

If you’ve ever needed permission to build in public, pivot mid-launch, or shut something down that was a good idea but isn’t your forever offer—this one’s for you.
