Live from Podcast Movement 2025 at the Gaylord (Dallas, TX), the ladies keep it micro but mighty: launching before you’re “ready,” fixing glitches in public, and stacking wins by showing up. Sips: Buchanan’s Pineapple (whiskey + citrus vibes).
If you’re waiting for perfect… you’ll never start. Ship it, learn, iterate.

In this episode:
• Why “ready” is a trap and “done” is a strategy
• Distribution hiccups (and how talking to vendors on-site helped)
• Branding IRL: shirts, energy, and conversations → connections
• Team dynamics: keep publishing even when 1–2 hosts are out
• Mindy’s perfectionism vs. shipping anyway (hello, TikTok)
• “Hire it out” if the task is your anchor
