“Solopreneur in Progress” is for anyone just starting their journey into solo entrepreneurship. No idea what you’re doing? Me neither! Looking for a proven entrepreneur who can show you the ropes? Unfortunately, you’ll have to listen elsewhere. I’m a longtime corporate employee and wannabe entrepreneur who is experimenting with ideas and sharing the mistakes I make along the way. I’ve got curiosity, a lot of ideas, and a willingness to try things and talk honestly about what works, what doesn’t, and what I have learned. I’ll also be talking with others chasing their own entrepreneurial dreams. Together we’ll share early wins, mistakes, lessons learned, and what it actually feels like to build something from scratch.

    2. My Museum of Failures (Print-on-demand, Content Creation, Software Development Bootcamp, the list goes on...)

    I’ve tried print-on-demand three separate times. A food Instagram. A restaurant quiz website. Becoming a SQL content creator. A coding bootcamp. None of it stuck. In episode 2 of Solopreneur in Progress, I’m giving you the full tour of my museum of failures — every half-finished idea I’ve started and quietly abandoned over the years. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the honest inventory of everything I’ve tried and walked away from, and what I’ve learned from each one. This isn’t a podcast from someone who’s already “made it.” Not even close. In this episode: The pattern behind every failed side project — and why I kept starting new ones anyway What each “failure” taught me, even when nothing came of it (P.S. — I recorded this whole episode and only realized after that I forgot an entire exhibit: my failed attempt at a master’s degree. Add it to the museum.) If you’ve got your own gallery of half-started ideas (or successes!), I want to hear about it. Drop a comment and tell me about it.

    1. I Haven't Made a Dollar (Yet)

    I’ve been listening to entrepreneurship podcasts for years — and still haven’t made a dollar. In the first episode of Solopreneur in Progress, I’m sharing the honest, unfiltered start of my journey toward solopreneurship: the discipline I have at work but not for myself, why consuming content never turned into action, and what’s finally pushing me to change that. This isn’t a podcast from someone who’s already “made it.” I’m a full-time corporate employee trying to build something of my own on the side, documenting the real ups and downs as they happen — no polish, no guru advice, just progress in real time. In this episode: ​The gap between how disciplined I am at work vs. outside of it​Why years of consuming entrepreneurship content didn’t translate into action​Why this podcast’s theme is action over thinking​What’s coming in future episodes (data on solopreneurship, personal updates, guest interviews)If you’ve ever felt like you’re starting too late, thinking too much, or doing too little — I’d love to hear from you. Drop a comment and let me know what phase of your journey you’re in, or what business you’re building.
