In Episode 1, we told you why we finally decided to stop talking about our ideas and start doing something about them. Now it’s time to share what those ideas actually are.

An Austin Airbnb, executive coaching, interior design, baking, and invigorating retreats, we’re each at very different stages of turning our passions into something bigger. Some of us are already up and running, some of us are taking our first baby steps, and some of us are developing the plan. And we’re doing it all while balancing careers, families, relationships, and, yes, trying to preserve a little free time.

We’ll share what we’re working toward, what scares us, the steps we’ve already taken, and how having our besties around keeps us inspired and accountable. Because your big dream doesn’t have to happen overnight. Sometimes buying the domain, making the phone call, setting the milestone, or finally saying the idea out loud is enough to get things moving. Cause when we’re 80, enjoying a glass of wine together, we wanna look back and know we tried!

Welcome to the very first episode of Biz Club Besties, where best friends who have no business talking about business are making it our business, and you're inviting along for the ride.

We’ll share how we went from coworkers to a tight-knit squad of five, built a friendship spanning ten plus years, and spent countless trips, dinners, cocktails, and poolside conversations dreaming up business ideas. Eventually, we realized it was time to stop talking about them and start actually doing something about them.

Find out how we turned our casual conversations into intentional “Biz Club” meetings with encouragement, accountability, bevies, bites, and real steps toward our goals. You'll get a look into our ongoing journey in all its chaotic glory but hopefully you'll also be inspired to finally take action on that idea you've been talking about for years. Because you don’t have to have everything figured out to start. You just need your besties!
