Episode 8 | The Unsexy Stuff That Scales — Systems, Discipline & Freedom in Business

Behind every “effortless” brand is a pile of unsexy work. In this episode, Dominique & Kinsey get real about the backbone of sustainable success — the workflows, systems, and discipline that make scaling possible (and give you your freedom back).

If you’ve ever wondered how to balance creativity with structure, or how to stop feeling chained to your business — this one’s your permission slip to fall in love with the boring stuff.

We talk about:

Why workflows are the foundation of creativity, not the enemy of it

The one system every founder needs before scaling

How discipline creates actual freedom — in business and life

The tool that tripled our output (and why we’re obsessed with it)

How to know when it’s a “system issue” vs a “people issue”

Our personal confessions on where we still need more discipline

Big takeaway: The sexy results come from the unsexy work.
