  • How To Start a Business When You Have a Million Ideas
    Aug 20 2025

    Ever feel like your brain is overflowing with business ideas, but you don’t know which one to start? You’re not alone. Creative entrepreneurs often struggle with idea overwhelm, and it can make starting a business feel impossible.

    In this video, I show how to stop spinning your wheels and actually start your creative business. You’ll learn how to narrow down your ideas, test and validate them fast, and pick one to commit to, even if you have a million business ideas buzzing in your head.

    Most people who start successful creative businesses are already doing something they love without realizing it. By learning how to validate a business idea and focus on one at a time, you can finally move past overwhelm and start making real progress.

    Take one small step today, whether that’s writing a plan, talking to a potential customer, or just choosing which idea to focus on first. Progress beats perfection, and starting your creative business now is the only way to see results.

    If you’re ready to go further, grab our free Daydream to Doing (Without the Corporate B.S.) checklist. You’ll see really fast if you’re ready to leave your 9-5 or not, and if not what steps you need to take before you do.

    If you’ve ever found yourself daydreaming about being your own boss… you’re not lazy, ungrateful, or crazy. You’re probably just stuck in a job that doesn’t align with your purpose or your talents.


    In this episode, Brianna and Steven get real about what to do when those “what if” thoughts won’t leave you alone.We’re breaking down:

    - Why your desire for more isn’t wrong

    - How to start validating your ideas (without quitting tomorrow)

    - The exact questions to ask when you start thinking about making the leap

    - What your exit plan could look like—realistically

    Plus, we’ll share our own stories of how this all started for us—and what we’d do differently if we were starting from scratch.

  • Ep. 21 The Dork Table - You’re Ready Enough: Starting a Business Before You Feel Qualified
    Jul 9 2025

    From Day Dream To Doing Checklist - Enjoy!!!

    https://www.dorksocialclub.com/daydream-to-doing

    -

    If you’re waiting to feel “ready,” you might be waiting forever.

    In this episode, we’re pulling apart the lies that keep creative people stuck—like the myth that you need unshakable confidence or a million certifications before you can get started. Spoiler: you don’t.

    We’ll talk about why feeling unqualified is normal (and actually a sign you care), how to separate comparison from reality, and what to do when your brain says “you’re not ready.”

    Because confidence isn’t the starting point. It’s the result of doing the thing.

  • Ep. 20 The Dork Table - Build a Brand So Good... Competition Doesn’t Matter
    Jul 2 2025

    If someone opened a business down the street selling the exact same thing as you, would you feel confident, or panicked?

    In this episode, we’re digging into why strong branding is your best protection in a crowded market. Because when you build a brand with personality, purpose, and presence… the competition becomes irrelevant.

    🎙️ We cover:

    • Why branding matters more than your pricing or product

    • How to stand out, even when others offer the same thing

    • The mindset shift that keeps your business unbothered and booked

    Let them copy. You’re built different.
