Calm & Colorful: Not Your Average MBA Diaries

In this month’s diary entry, I share my takeaways from a community workshop with Jordyn Bonds, who once helped scale a company from $40M in monthly revenue… to zero just 18 months later.

We’ll talk about why product-market fit isn’t forever, how to spot a true “broken leg problem,” and why repeatable wins matter more than lucky breaks. Plus, I’ll share how these lessons apply directly to Calm & Colorful 2.0 as I grow through the One Day MBA.

Action step for you: Look at your last big win — then ask, what made this work, and how can I repeat it 10 more times?

This week I joined a One Day community event on The Seven Pillars of the Founder’s Code hosted by Marki Shkreli — and it gave me the clarity I needed to anchor Calm & Colorful 2.0.

In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways:

• Founder First — always wearing my founder hat, even at Starbucks.
• Excellence Without Pause — making excellence the baseline, not the exception.
• Expertise — choosing collaboration over competition and getting in the room with other experts.

I’ll also walk you through my new plan for Calm & Colorful: my founder code, my three non-negotiables, and how I’m mapping my first 100 families.

Because when founders live their values at scale, they don’t just build businesses — they build legacies.

Jessica shares the very first monthly recap of her One Day MBA journey, documenting where Calm & Colorful stands today and what August 2025 brought to her business and life. In this kickoff reflection, she outlines the current products in her suite, celebrates the decision to officially enroll in the One Day MBA, and dives into early wins like connecting with fellow students, reading The Mom Test, hosting her first customer conversations, and even birthing this podcast itself.

She also opens up about real-life moments of entrepreneurship while parenting, her revenue and social metrics snapshot, and the lessons she’s already carrying forward—like slowing down, testing before polishing, and trusting the process. Looking ahead, Jessica sets intentions for September while grounding into her core principles: clarity over speed, conversations over assumptions, and trusting that Calm & Colorful 2.0 will unfold with steady momentum.

This month inside the One Day MBA community event hosted by Len Porcano, I learned about moats — the defenses that protect your business from competitors. In this episode, I share how Calm & Colorful already has natural moats like niche branding, sticky family rituals, and a ripple-driven community, plus how I’m thinking about protecting the mission even as I pivot and adapt. Whether you’re a mama, a business builder, or both, you’ll walk away with practical steps to build your own moat and dream bigger for the future.

In this episode, I share what I learned from a One Day MBA workshop hosted by Juan Linares, that completely reframed how I look at ideas, doubts, and testing in my business.

The big reminder: Don’t talk yourself out of an idea. Test it.

I’ll walk you through the 5 Why’s Forward Framework, the three core questions every idea needs to answer (What problem? For who? Why does it matter?), and why customer discovery matters more than building the “perfect” solution.

You’ll also hear the tension I’m working through — focusing on mamas of toddlers while still feeling pulled to serve all ages and how I’m learning to stay problem-first, not solution-first.

Plus: simple tips you can apply right now to validate your own ideas without overthinking or overbuilding.
