Stop Stepping in Stupid
with Shawn Shepheard
Unlike other shows about small business success, only we focus on the hard and hilarious moments someone made a stupid mistake – and the changes they used to brush it off.
Why Is This For Me?
You’re a small business owner, and you’re working hard to design a better business and a better life. And while you’ve experienced some success, you’re still your own toughest critic.
“I’m not moving fast enough. I’m not making the right choices. I’m not capable enough. I’m not smart enough. I don’t have the fancy degree or pedigree.”
And in your worst moments, that inner critic goes even further: “Maybe I’m stupid.”
No, you’re not. But all of us have moments of doubt and making mistakes. The problem is that people never talk about these things in public. That makes us think we’re the only ones who feel the way we feel.
The thing is, your journey is unique, but one part of it is NOT: We all have moments of stepping in stupid.
Join me on a podcast journey where we explore the moments someone stepped in stupid. These are real conversations, talking about the voices in our heads, the decisions we really made, and the struggles we all have but don’t hear talked about enough away from the coffee shop or the bar.
No BS. No overly-polished sound bites and stories. Just real small business owners freely talking (and laughing) about moments they made mistakes and what they did afterward to brush it off. Because we take our businesses seriously, but not ourselves.
Join us for stories the way YOU would tell them, from people like you.
Join us as we try our hardest… to Stop Stepping in Stupid.
