Welcome to the very first episode of Walk & Talk where ideas flow, fears get called out, and progress is made one step (and one sticky note) at a time.
In this impromptu conversation with
, we talk about what it really looks like to start before you're ready from launching YouTube channels and tracking habits, to facing creative fears and figuring out Substack in public.No scripts. No filters. Just two creators walking, talking, and sharing the behind-the-scenes of building in public.
Here’s what we unpacked in this episode:
🌱 Starting > Perfecting: From YouTube hiccups to Substack bio anxiety, we share what it actually feels like to hit “publish” without being fully ready (spoiler: you survive).
🧠 Capturing Ideas in the Wild: Why showers, sticky notes, voice memos, and early morning brain dumps might be the most creative tools we have.
📚 Systems for Creators: How planners, templates, and habit trackers are helping us build more consistently even when energy dips.
🧵 Writing (Even When It’s Scary): Sumau opens up about facing her fear of writing and how visual thinking and playbooks are helping her get started.
💬 Why Sharing in Public Matters: We reflect on the power of documenting the messy middle not for the likes, but to connect, inspire, and grow with others.
We closed the convo with a gentle reminder:
You don’t need to have it all figured out just start. One post, one habit, one friend at a time.
Challenge of the Day:
Do one thing you've been putting off. Set up that tool, post that messy draft, or track that habit. Imperfect action is still action.
To Building What Matters Together 💙

P.S.
I’m doing these Walk & Talk sessions not just to share ideas but to build my own fitness.
One of my big goals is to run workshops that last for hours (think workshop marathons!), and that starts with building stamina for the body and the brain.
So, I’m inviting you to join me. Grab a coffee (or a drink of your choice), go for a walk, and share your story of building what matters.
Let’s keep each other going one step, one story, one sip at a time. ☕
