After launch week6 more assets fill quiet days until the next episode starts its own week.

Normally this is four handoffs: editor, clipper, copywriter, whoever owns the scheduler. For a connected show, the queue runs itself once the host approves it.

Built from a public feed, so nothing was posted.

Check the writing against the source.

Each asset carries the moment it came from, so the host can check it, not trust it.

Colleen and Michele reunite after a long hiatus to candidly discuss their journey since the last episode in December 2022. They reflect on career changes, personal growth, and the realities behind stopping their weekly podcast. This episode offers a heartfelt catch-up and addresses listener curiosity about their friendship and professional lives.

Colleen and Michele open with laughter and nostalgia about being back in front of the mics, joking about forgetting podcasting basics after years away.

They piece together the timeline since their last recording in December 2022, discussing Colleen’s transition to Tiny Seed and Hammerstone, and Michele’s series of rapid job changes.

Even when life gets busy and circumstances change, authentic friendships endure—and sometimes, stepping back is necessary for personal and professional well-being.

Why I Hit Pause—And What I Built Next

Hey, it's Colleen! It’s been a wild ride since I last sat down behind the mic, and today, I want to share the real story with you.

You might be wondering why I disappeared from the podcast scene. Truth is—we just needed a break. Life got busy, priorities shifted, and sometimes, you have to step back to move forward.

In the time away, I started a new business with Leanna Patch: SaaS Marketing Gym. It’s a daily coaching community for technical founders, helping you tackle marketing head-on.

"Marketing is the number one thing people struggle with," I said in the episode, and that’s exactly what inspired this new adventure. Daily accountability, office hours, and a space to finally get your marketing done.

We also talk about the emotional ups and downs of founder life, revisiting old podcast episodes, and how it feels to condense years into a few 30-minute sessions.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, busy, or unsure how to carve out time for what matters—this one’s for you.

Ready for a fresh take on founder life?
