🌴92. You have a good idea. Now what? feat. Jade Miller

Quick one: You're invited to join my free community, Work Fame.

Today’s episode is basically what happens when you mix cinnamon rolls, idea overload, and a Brisbane brunch catch-up with my brilliant friend, Jade Miller.

(Fun fact, Jade illustrated my book cover, and also the drawings in The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint!)

We sat down for a coffee and ended up doing what we always do — bouncing ideas, talking about what’s next, and figuring out what to do with all the good stuff swirling in our heads.

Here’s what we covered:

• How to validate your idea (without building a thing first)
• Why simple always lands — shoutout to Mel Robbins and her “Let Them” magic
• The difference between an idea that excites you vs one that solves a real problem
• The hard truth about events: If it doesn’t solve a problem, people won’t come
• A reminder that people are busy, and cutting through isn’t about shouting louder — it’s about hitting the right nerve

We also riffed on:

• Jenny Blake’s “book prescription” concept
• Noah Kagan’s Million Dollar Weekend and his gold-standard for idea validation: “Will someone pay for it?”

This one’s for the creators, the consultants, the thinkers, and anyone swimming in a sea of ideas. If you’ve ever asked, “Is this idea actually worth pursuing?” — this chat will land.

Thanks again, Jade, for a delightful convo. And to you listening — let me know what idea you’re playing with right now!
