🌴77. Kill your ideas feat. Joeri Schilders (The Magic Sauce) Part 1/2

I'm pumped to bring you this episode with my good friend, Joeri Schilders—also known as The Magic Sauce.

Joeri and I go way back. We first connected virtually in 2020 through my Facebook group, The Flipchart (I still don’t know how he found it!). Over the years, we've built a great friendship through voice notes, videos, and WhatsApp chats, eventually launching Virtually Possible—a program designed to help facilitators and corporate teams create engaging online experiences.

Joeri has spent 20 years helping Fortune 500 companies innovate, and in this episode, he’s flipping the script on how we think about innovation. Spoiler: Ideas are NOT the problem—execution is.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why killing ideas is just as important as generating them – Most businesses aren’t short on ideas; they’re short on follow-through.

✅ The 'Check Your Fridge' analogy – Before chasing new ideas, take stock of the untapped ones you already have.

✅ Innovation isn’t about brainstorming; it’s about shipping – How to move fast and test ideas now instead of waiting for the ‘perfect plan.’

✅ Fast fashion vs. business innovation – The obsession with new often gets in the way of getting things done.

✅ The Steve Jobs approach to innovation – Why focus beats chasing every shiny new thing.

✅ The 24-hour challenge – Instead of another meeting or slide deck, what’s one real action you can take today?

💡 Big takeaway: Ideas don’t change your business—execution does.

This is Part 1 of our conversation—tomorrow’s episode will dive into the world of video and how Joeri helps solopreneurs use it to grow their businesses.
