Hellooo gorgeous human!
Pull up a cuppa, soften your shoulders, and let’s have a proper chat!
This week’s podcast episode is an AMA — which means NOTHING is off-limits. We talk AI (spoiler: I’m not dazzled), the very real shifts happening in online business right now, how to handle criticism without burning your whole life down, and why becoming a goat herder in Corsica continues to feel like a sensible Plan B.
Tam and I dive deep into the real changes happening in online business right now. Forget the $2,000 mega-course era—we’re moving into something better. More human. More real. We chat about AI’s actual limitations (think: unstable intern who hallucinates), why your unique voice is worth more than ever, and how to stay grounded when the world feels like an actual dumpster fire.
Plus, I share my traffic light reporting—a brilliantly nerdy + simple system I learned working in government that’ll transform how you track your business goals! 🚦
Here’s the breakdown:
- 🤖 AI in business — a realistic take vs the evangelist hype
- ✨ The real changes happening in online business and what people actually need right now
- 🚦 The traffic light reporting system (green / yellow / red) I learned in government that makes tracking your business stupidly simple
- 🔊 How to handle negative feedback and public criticism without giving up or spiralling
- 🔥 Staying regulated and grounded when the world feels like a dumpster fire
- 🎁 Why the $2,000 mega-course era is ending — and what’s replacing it
- 💓 Why your unique voice is more valuable than ever in a world full of same-same content
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disenchanted with the online space, or quietly wondering if you’re doing it “wrong” — this episode is your permission slip to be human.
