Welcome back to Start It or Scrap It! In Episode 38, Mike and Gummi tackle one of the biggest lies in entrepreneurship: “overnight success.”
From flashy social media claims to misleading business coaches, we break down what it really takes to build a sustainable business. Along the way, we dive into:
- Why “overnight success” is a dangerous myth
- The rare exceptions (and why they’re almost impossible to replicate)
- Why a good assistant or CRM system can save you thousands in lost revenue
- How to know when to say “no” to a client (and why it’ll save your sanity)
- The truth about side hustles, failures, and what real success looks like
- How social media hype skews entrepreneurs’ expectations
This episode is packed with real talk for founders who are tired of get-rich-quick hype and want the unvarnished truth about what it takes to grow.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
