Ever had that fantasy where your business suddenly blows up online and everything changes overnight?

In this episode, I sit down with Lisa Sjöblom—a digital growth strategist and operations expert—to unpack the real story of what happens when your business goes viral. Together, we talk about the traffic surge, the customer service avalanche, the unexpected pressure on operations… and the surprising truth that more eyeballs don’t always mean more sales.

Lisa brings her no-fluff take on digital scaling, and I share what I learned from my own viral moment—the good, the chaotic, and what I’d do differently next time.

If you’re building an ecommerce or retail brand, and dreaming of your “big break,” this is your reality check. Because visibility without preparation can cost you more than you think.

💬 We talk about:

  • What actually breaks when your content takes off

  • How to prepare your backend before growth hits

  • The hidden costs of virality

  • Building a business that’s built to last—not just built to go viral

Let’s get into it.
