## Resource

It started with one sip. A month before launch, Autumn cracked open her brand-new Good Mood Brew , and something was off. With 300 cases sitting in her garage, a photoshoot the next day, and months of work on the line, she found herself on the phone with the president of the formulation company trying to figure out how a nearly perfect product had gone sideways. The culprit? A two-degree difference in the manufacturing process. That story sets the stage for a candid conversation about what entrepreneurship really looks like—the long days, self-doubt, criticism, impossible standards, and the passion that keeps you going anyway. A listener's "Phone a Friend" asks a question so many aspiring entrepreneurs wrestle with: What if everything has already been invented? Autumn and Donald explain why originality isn't about creating something that's never existed, it's about bringing your unique perspective, solving problems differently, and having the courage to start before you feel ready. Along the way, they pull back the curtain on white labeling, celebrity brands, product development, scaling a business, and why "good enough" has never been part of Autumn's vocabulary. Donald also reflects on the music project he'd approach differently today, shares how that experience shaped the way he creates now, and opens up about his newest venture: deconstruction coaching—helping people rebuild their beliefs, identity, and confidence from the ground up. If you've ever dreamed of starting a business, launched something that didn't go as planned, or wondered what it actually takes to build something from scratch, this episode is for you. 💌 Phone a Friend Have something you want Autumn and Donald to talk through?
