EP 154 - Creativity Isn't Slow: How to Make Fast Decisions That Convert
03/13/25 • 22 min
Your perfectionism isn't making your marketing better, it's making you miss opportunities.
As the founder of a seven-figure design agency, I've noticed a common pattern among clients: they're spending too much time overthinking creative decisions and not enough time ideating new possibilities. The truth is, creativity doesn't have to be slow, and quick decisions often lead to better results than endless refinement.
Instead of giving yourself months to make creative choices, try setting strict deadlines and trusting your instincts. When you have five months to make a decision, you'll take five months. But when you have five days, you'll be amazed at how quickly your brain adapts and produces results. The key is shifting from execution mode to ideation mode, dedicating specific time for creative thinking rather than endless tweaking.
In this episode, I break down how to make faster creative decisions without sacrificing quality, including practical exercises like lightning rounds and three-try limits. Whether you're struggling with content creation, launch planning, or general marketing decisions, you'll learn how to leverage creativity as a catalyst for action rather than a barrier to progress.
In today's episode, we're chatting about:
• Why creativity should speed up your progress, not slow it down
• How to use time constraints to boost creative decision-making
• The crucial difference between ideation and execution time
• Practical exercises for faster creative thinking
• Why your best ideas often come from quick decisions

EP 153 - The Four-Phase Content Creation System That Will Save You Hours Every Week
Your content creation process shouldn't take hours. And if it does, you're doing it wrong.
As the founder of a seven-figure design agency, I've mastered the art of creating converting content quickly. The secret lies in understanding which part of your process is actually slowing you down: ideation, creation, design, or scheduling. Once you identify the bottleneck, you can implement specific strategies to streamline that phase.
Most entrepreneurs struggle with content because they're trying to ideate, create, and design all at once. Instead, I recommend separating these tasks into distinct phases and batching similar activities. For example, ideation should happen when you're fresh and creative, while design and scheduling can happen later with support from our Sales Studio team.
In this episode, I break down exactly how to assess your content creation process and make it more efficient without sacrificing quality. Whether you're a busy parent, managing multiple businesses, or just tired of spending hours on content, you'll learn practical strategies for creating converting content fast.
In this episode, we're chatting about:
• The four phases of content creation and how to optimize each one
• Why batching similar tasks leads to better, faster content
• How to create a sustainable content calendar that actually works
• The power of having clear content categories and formats
• Practical tools for cutting your content creation time in half

EP 155 - How to Actually Take Action on All of the Branding Exercises You're Doing
Your personal brand isn't just about being authentic - it's about being marketable.
As the founder of a seven-figure design agency, I've developed a strategic framework for personal branding that goes far beyond basic aesthetics or sharing personal stories. Through four key content categories and core brand stories, we help clients create a personal brand that's both sustainable and profitable.
The framework starts with identifying your content pillars, A.K.A: areas you're genuinely passionate about, skilled in, and want to be known for. For me, these include campaign marketing, agency building, design strategy, and aesthetic lifestyle. But the real power comes from aligning these categories with your values and core stories, creating a brand that's impossible to copy.
In this episode, I break down my exact process for defining and developing a personal brand, including how to identify your content categories, craft your core stories, and create a brand persona that converts. Whether you're starting from scratch or ready to elevate your existing brand, you'll learn how to create a personal brand that's both authentic and strategically positioned for growth.
In today's episode, we're chatting about:
• The four content categories that define a strong personal brand
• Why authenticity alone isn't enough for brand success
• How to craft core stories that connect and convert
• The difference between sharing your life and building a brand
• Strategic frameworks for sustainable personal branding
