Ever launch something and hear… absolutely nothing?

You had the dream, the passion, maybe even the perfect latte to sip while daydreaming about changing the world—and then reality hits: zero traction. Oof.

In this episode of The Advice You Didn’t Know You Needed, Drew breaks down exactly what to do when your brilliant idea turns into a ghost town. We’re talking practical, no-fluff steps to get from “I think I’ve got something here” to “People are actually buying this!”

Here’s what you’ll learn today:

• How to figure out if your idea is actually solving a real problem (and for who)
• The smart way to validate your idea before you build anything
• Why your MVP doesn’t need to be pretty—it just needs to work
• How to build a small but mighty email list that actually wants what you’re creating
• Tips for turning casual interest into paying customers
• The very real traps to avoid: perfectionism, ignoring feedback, and burnout
• And why momentum (not magic) is the secret ingredient to sustainable growth

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve been sitting on an idea and just don’t know where to start
• You’ve launched something before and got radio silence
• You’re tired of waiting for the “perfect” moment to begin
• You want a clear, realistic roadmap that doesn’t start with “become an overnight sensation”

Spoiler: Drew’s not gonna tell you to hustle harder or go viral on TikTok (unless your idea involves handcrafted cheese memes… then maybe). He’s just here to help you turn your “someday” idea into something real.

👉 Bonus: Stick around to the end for the real-talk reminder you didn’t know you needed: stop waiting for permission. Just. Start.

🎧 Listen now and take the first tiny, brave step toward getting your idea out into the world.
