Behind the Scenes of Building a Bold Pitch
Manage episode 481353534 series 2557475
Have you ever had an idea that you knew had only a 1% chance of working... and you chased it anyway?
This episode is that story. 🎥✨
What started as a spontaneous mention on a podcast turned into a one-minute pitch, a full-blown vlog, a custom merch drop, and a mission to prove that ideas only matter if you execute on them.
In this behind-the-scenes solo episode, I walk you through:
- The messy middle of building something new—and not knowing how it’ll turn out
- Why I created a 60-second video pitch for My First Million (and how I planned every frame)
- How I chose a business to feature, crafted a story, and built a strategic hook
- The mindset shift from perfection to experimentation
- The logistical dance of vlogging, storytelling, and honoring someone else’s business
- Why your million-dollar idea isn’t just the idea—it’s what you do with it
And yes… I even printed a custom sweater as part of the pitch. 🎁👕
This is one part content strategy, one part personal reinvention, and 100% proof that even if your idea doesn’t “work”—it can still move you forward.
I hope this inspires you to chase your idea too. Because if it matters to you, it's worth doing.
