In this episode, Lindsay is joined by her business manager, Emily, for a deep dive into their secret summer project. They each started a brand new business from scratch to see if it's still possible to sell digital products in today’s saturated online marketplace. Spoiler alert: They had a blast, learned tons, and are ready to share all the behind-the-scenes details with you!
Lindsay and Emily are spilling the beans on their summer business experiment that put them back in the shoes of beginners. They started with no email list, no social following, and completely unrelated niches to their regular businesses. Their goal? To see how quickly they could go from zero to selling their first low-ticket digital products. Now they want to share the step-by-step process they followed, their unique niches, and how they navigated everything from brainstorming to product creation, all while juggling life’s demands.
In this episode, we’ll discuss:
1. Starting from Zero
Lindsay and Emily share why they wanted to put themselves in the position of a beginner, testing if it's still possible to grow a business in today’s crowded market.
2. Choosing a Niche
Discover how both hosts picked niches based on personal experiences. Lindsay’s new business, Kinda Crunchy Fam, focuses on gluten-free living, while Emily launched Girls Who Hate Sports, aimed at helping women connect with their partners through sports (even if they hate it!).
3. Creating Digital Products
They discuss how they each created a low-ticket digital product in just a few weeks, sharing how Lindsay made a gluten-free snack guide and Emily designed fun football-related activities for women.
4. Building an Audience
Learn about the importance of creating lead magnets to grow an email list from scratch and hear what freebies Lindsay and Emily offered to attract their target audiences.
5. The Power of Small Ticket Offers
They explore why small-ticket digital products (under $100) can be a perfect entry point for new entrepreneurs, requiring less time to create and easier to sell without big marketing launches.

In this episode, we're diving deep into a topic that every entrepreneur faces at some point—imposter syndrome. While it might not be everyone's favorite subject, it’s a crucial one, and today, we're breaking it down in a way that’s both practical and motivating.
Lindsay shares her personal journey with imposter syndrome, revealing three unique strategies that have helped her push past those nagging doubts and move forward in her business. Whether you're just starting out or you've been in the game for years, these insights will help you keep going, even when self-doubt tries to hold you back.
In this episode, we’ll discuss: 1. Accepting Imposter Syndrome
Instead of trying to eliminate imposter syndrome, acknowledge it. Understand that it’s a natural part of the entrepreneurial journey and something even the most successful people experience. The key is to keep moving forward despite those feelings of inadequacy.
2. Taking Imperfect Action
Don’t wait until everything is perfect to launch your product or idea. Perfectionism can paralyze progress. Embrace the concept of "messy action" and put your ideas out there, learning and refining as you go.
3. Learning from Success
While it’s important not to obsess over others’ successes, don’t ignore them either. Success leaves clues, and finding a mentor or investing in coaching from someone who’s where you want to be can be transformative. Learn from their experiences and apply those lessons to your own journey.
