It’s easy to look at someone’s life online and think, “Damn, they’ve got it all sorted.” The polished posts, the reels, the programs, the podcast—it can look like there’s a whole team behind it all.
In this episode, I’m sharing what it actually looks like behind the scenes of my business. I’ve got one team member—my assistant—and the rest? I do myself. I record this podcast from home. I edit it. I upload it. I use AI tools to help with captions. I answer my own DMs. I’m in it, just like so many others out there who are doing big things with lean teams and real lives.
I’m sharing this not for sympathy or applause, but because this is the reality for a lot of people—but barely anyone’s saying it. And when we don't talk about it, it creates this perception that if you're not doing it all effortlessly with a huge support crew, you're somehow behind.
This episode is a reality check. A permission slip. A reminder that what you see online isn’t the full picture.
