When Karen Hewitt first met Steve Feld, she thought he was a complete jerk. Steve, on the other hand, thought Karen was the “crazy lady” who brought a baby to a business meeting.

No fluff. No guru fantasy. In this first episode of Tea & Coffee Hub, Karen Hewitt (social media strategist/creative) and Steve Feld (systems/accountability coach) break down how they spun a late-night idea into a real business in under 36 hours—name, domain, roles, Trello, offers, logo, launch plan. The point? Action beats excuses. Every time.

What we cover:

Why ideas die: belief in your own BS, “tomorrow” thinking, and shiny-object detours

Partnerships that work: roles, rules, money split, expectations—decided fast

From joke to launch: naming, domains, brand, offers, and a Trello brain-dump in minutes

Multiple streams (the right way): active, passive, leveraged—within your brand

Target market sanity: “everyone” is not your audience

Write it down or it isn’t real: goals → milestones → accountability

Tools vs. outcomes: Canva/templates don’t replace systems

Business besties: find the person who calls you out and checks in on deadlines

Who we are:

Karen Hewitt — Blossom to Success: creative + social media strategy that drives results

Steve Feld — BizCoachSteve: systems, procedures, frameworks, and accountability in motion
