I love a fast-paced working day where we can get in a room and make a ridiculous amount of progress. And I love getting lost in a deep research hole or complex-but-so-with-it edit for hours. I love storytelling, especially mining out the ones you just can’t pre plan as well as know what to watch for an catch it like fireflies in a jar. finding the thread in what someone is saying and figuring out how to make clear to everyone else. And I really love making meaning of something that feels deeply connected to who you are and what you’re building. Something seeded in deep belief that can help fuel where you’re going for the next decade.

I don’t have much interest in making a brand look impressive if we’ve missed the thing that makes the business interesting in the first place. I believe clear messaging is your secret sauce. Everything else is the way it’s served to the world in a way that makes them what want you have to offer. My job is to make dang sure what goes out of the proverbial kitchen is on point with that.

The short version: you do not need to show up to Growco Lab with your big vision organized. Bring me the voice notes, the half-baked thoughts, the offer you can explain perfectly in conversation but hate it every time you see it written down. I’m good in the messy, the raw, the unrefined.

My job is to find the gold, help you define what you bring like no other and why people should care.. then figure out what needs to be built around *that* so when it goes out into the world, people can finally see what you’ve been trying to show them all along. 🪐🔭✨

And that’s on the art of a fit check, whether it’s a coffee order or your business branding through tech stack to show up and stand out in your market 💅

This one’s for my baby turtle businesses. Let me hold a flashlight, clear the path, and see you make waves 🔦

12 spots between now and the end of the year for Launchpad. There’s never been a better time to make the epic journey into entrepreneurship. I truly believe that. 🫶

Giving my right-sizing flag in the ground some permanent space on the grid ⛳️

For an early stage business owner, a lightweight, lean, and messaging-anchored website with a clear path for your perfect fit people to take the right next step with you can become leverage to get more traction with less overwhelm in the days that make or break your biz.

And that starts with a process I like to call right-sizing. ⚡️

I talk to at least one person who is untangling what they need to get the dream out of their head and into the market almost every week. Sometimes it’s for the future, sometimes it’s for like asap let’s launch, and sometimes it’s to course correct a set up a misguided but well meaning set up that was totally a wrong fit they’ve been trying to make work for a year.

So I made a little tool this week not to help shortcut the conversations (I love them, keep em coming) but to help the person who’s just kind of curious about what it might mean for their biz to have the right fit for what you’re building and the reality of where you are.

It takes about 2 minutes and is designed to tee up a convo with me about specifics if there’s anything that jumps out for warranting a little bit of a personal fit check. If you’ve got a big business vision and you’re getting a little lost in the sauce about how to legitimize it online in a way that feels like something you can leverage not a load you have to shoulder, I made it with you in mind.

You would never put a toddler into a shoe 3x their size and send them on the playground expecting to be able to run, jump, climb, and have a good time.

They wouldn’t be able to move well. They’d be tripping all over their feet and constantly messing with their shoes — if they can even keep them on.

So why do I see this happen to early stage businesses?

You start a business because you’re great at something, passionate about why it matters, and gung-ho about bringing it your corner of the world to make it a better place.

Then you have to bridge the gap between what’s in your head and what you can take to market.

Now you’re up til 2am going back and forth with chatty G about how to communicate what you do in a way that connects, vibe coding your way to a landing page with Claude on the weekend, watching a course on how to build a funnel and getting lost in the tech sauce to hook up all the parts without amassing six new subscriptions all trying to hold hands… all the branding and creative it takes to get your business launched or give it legs is feeling a lot like rocket science right about now.

Or maybe you’re solely relying on word of mouth and a Linktree because the domain you bought off GoDaddy has been “parked” for six months as you roll over “build my website” on your list again for another week.

You’re still excited about the work. You know it’s going to be so worth it once it can stand on its own.

This just the way it is when launching and growing an early stage business, right?

My flag in the ground for you is that it doesn’t have to be.

That’s why I’m on a mission to right-size twelve more businesses in 2026 with a market-ready presence they can leverage to go out there and communicate with confidence, connect with perfect fit people, help them make it easy to take the next step with them, and start banking proof of the transformation they provide so they can gear up for their next level faster and with less headache. 🚀

And I’ve created a free 2min quiz tool to help you untangle what right-sizing might look like for you. 🧶

Zach wasn’t trying to build a therapy empire on day one. He was starting to build something of his own and needed a way to take ownership of his lead flow.

A place to send people, for them to understand how he works.Something that looked and sounded like him. And helped his right fit people take a clear next step towards working with him.

He’s going all in. But didn’t need a full blown brand presence that fits where he might be in 2 years. So we rightsized, for right now.

And it gives him leverage.

We soundboarded the messaging. Pulled out the ideas that made his approach distinctly his. Built a mini brand around them. Turned that into a one-page site, branded email, and a first round of business cards he could actually put in someone’s hand.

It’s professional presence on the marketing front without feeling like the digital equivalent of people holding hands and crying just because he happens to be a therapist.

That’s Launchpad. And for founders like Zach it’s leverage.

A small-but-mighty starting point for businesses that need to look awesome, represent themselves well, and make it easier for the right person to say yes without taking on more website overhead or complexities than the business needs yet.

And I’m on a mission to set up 12 more founder like Zach with their own launchpad by the end of the year. 🚀

If your business is still getting its legs under it, your website should help you build trust, market what you do, and turn interest into traction… not give you another giant thing to fund, feed, and figure out.

I’ve created a resource to help early stage, growth minded business owners determine what’s your right-size fit what you need online right now to take up space and get the business in your head out into the world without overcomplicating the tech or underselling your value. Send me FITCHECK in a DM or comment and I’ll send it to you when it’s live. 🤙🤓

Here’s what I want my baby turtle businesses to know 🐢 (pre-venture / pre-launch to like your first 1–2 years in biz):

You do not need to build your business for the business you might be five years from now.

I see this happen all the time. You know you need a brand. You need somewhere for people to find you online, understand what you do, and take the next step to work with you.

And somewhere in there, you get fitted for a professional presence that is way too big for the season you’re actually in.

Now it’s overbuilt, expensive, and taking everything out of you just to get it to exist. You’re trying to pull from momentum you haven’t even built yet just to break even.

Hate to see it!!

That’s where my Launchpad websites come in.

Launchpad is a done-in-a-day, single-page website built to give an early business a lightweight but professional way to get online. And I’m not putting a website up for you without it going through my messaging protocols.

The point isn’t to build something you have to “grow into.”

It’s to give you something that looks awesome, represents you well, and that you can leverage right now — then clear the field so you can go sell.

Because when you’re a baby turtle business, YOU are the salesperson.

Go network. Go test the offer. Go learn what your customers actually respond to. Go build momentum.

Then invest in the bigger brand or bigger website when your business has the context, demand, and momentum for it.

Between now and the end of the year, I want to help 12 more businesses get appropriately fitted for the season they’re actually in. I’m calling it my Right-Sizing quest. I’ve been doing this for years, I’m just now calling it out and giving it goal. Because when I do, that’s a dozen more businesses that I know have the leverage to go the distance and really grow. 🌱🚀

DM me or comment FITCHECK if this is sounds like what you need to make way for the business you’re all hyped up in the excited, big vision parts of you but those first steps out have you feeling some type of way. I want to help you look at where you are and guide you on your next right move — and if Launchpad is i

A round up for the love of the game!

If the game is making meaningful design decisions, letting the messaging guide the creative direction, and making really cool stuff for really cool people 🪩✨

Been working on a lot behind the scenes over here. 🥷

Some of it lately isn’t really cute to document 😂
(looking at you API keys, custom posts and fields in Wordpress, php code snippets, hours of deep brand positioning research, oodles of Google Docs and Wispr brain dumps and…well, you get it. The black hole of nerdy stuff it takes to make brand + marketing work IRL.)

so when I have some things that ✨are✨ cute to document I’ve gotta give them a moment to shine!

Here’s a nonexhaustive round up of some things we’ve been working on via the design moments that made me smile. 🗂️☺️

And a moment for my new muse to make the cut bc ✨whimsy✨

I’ve come to the conclusion that this practice is about as close as you can get to a quick turn it off and back on again for your nervous system 😂

And that was much needed to launch into a fresh week (in our new house!) with more clarity, calm, and intention.

I’ve been riding on adrenaline and grit for a couple weeks now. This helped interrupt the mental loop and worn down feeling for long enough for me to deeeeeply (and efficiently) reset so I can tackle this week from a better space in my mind and my body 💪

A big thank you to Joshua at PLUNJ_Knoxville for being such a gracious and thoughtful host!

And because I want that for you too, if you’re in Knoxville I’ve got great news 🗞️ get your first hour at PLUNJ 50% off with code “FIRSTTIMER” 👀

I’m telling you, if you’re one of my goal-getting, fast-moving, busy-schedule-juggling people or just in a demanding season and need a moment of reprieve… it’s amazing how an hour of contrast therapy can start to clear the brain, reenergize what felt fatigued, and turn down that everything-is-urgent feeling to give you some bandwidth back. I hope you’ll give it a shot and last longer than me in that cold plunge! 🥶

The actual business isn’t the hard part. It’s that every time you solve one problem, entrepreneurship hands you three entirely new skillsets you now apparently need to learn.

Suddenly, you’re a professional thing-doer expected to become a marketer, copywriter, web designer, content creator, and part-time IT department. It’s like having to learn whole other languages, skillsets, and somehow still have the time + energy to execute it all while doing your actual thing.

Or… here’s where our worlds could collide.

hiya 👋 I’m someone who spent yearssss as the go-between for a highly audacious, big-vision founder and the creative team required to make the dream a reality.

And now Growco Lab exists to do the same for you.

I’ve realized over a decade of this that most founders don’t have a problem with their vision or talking about their expertise. They have a problem translating it into the real world where there are 27 moving parts and the game changes every 6 months.

So I’ve learned to speak a lot of languages (metaphorically), fluently working between messaging dev, branding, websites, shoots, podcasting, design projects, experience design, and the occasional “why isn’t this thing working?” tech rabbit hole… and I built the business to help connect the dots between them so my clients don’t have to.

Some days I’m behind a camera. A lot of days I’m behind a laptop. My favorite days are spent with a latte, good natural light, and in the brain of some brilliant and audacious biz owner, helping pull out all the pieces that make their business rad and translating them into something the right people can immediately understand.

Zoomed out, everything we do follows a natural journey.

You have something worth sharing. → You need a better way to explain it. → You need a place for people to find it. → You need it to look and feel aligned. → And you need people to experience it.

That’s my whole biz in a nutshell. With an amazing team to help bring it home.

If you’ve got something meaningful you’re building and need help with this stuff that feels like rocket science, this photo is how your message finds me. (thx for the 📷)

All that’s left is saying hi.
