From My Lounge Room to a Sydney Hotel Room: How I Built the Podcast I Once Dreamed Of

This is a milestone episode - but not the kind that comes with fanfare or a funnel.

It’s me, sitting in a Sydney hotel room, mic in front of me, camera on, planes flying past the window… realising I’m in the middle of something I once only dreamed about.

So today’s episode isn’t a strategy download or marketing checklist. It’s a personal one. A behind-the-scenes look at how Coffees & Content really started, how far it’s come, and why it’s proof that you don’t need to have everything “perfect” to begin.

In this final episode of the year, I’m sharing:

☕️ How the podcast started with a newsletter - and a Blue Yeti mic in my lounge
 ☕️ The truth about podcasting (spoiler: it’s not as cheap and easy as it looks)
 ☕️ What’s been happening behind the scenes at The Social Collective
 ☕️ My honest reflections from 2025, and how I’m planning for 2026
 ☕️ What’s next for the podcast - and how you can be part of it

This one’s for anyone who’s looking at 2026 thinking, “Can I really do this?” The answer is yes. Start where you are. Start messy. Just start.
