Humans evolve. Ideas change. And honestly, how is a creative human supposed to stick to one podcast idea for half a decade and a ton of episodes? I have no idea.

That’s why Big Fun, Small Business is an audio sketchbook of all the things I’ve explored since starting back in 2020. It’s a collection of ideas, rants, pep talks, tips, and a very real evolution of what it looks like to build a busines... more

  • Meet Deanna, your new biz bestie!

    This podcast is a crash course in how to have fun and make money in your business. Deanna’s funny and honest approach is so refreshing in a world of online “gurus” who would have you believe only they hold the secret to success. I love the solo episodes because it feels like sitting down for a pep talk with a smart and savvy biz bestie, but the episodes with guests are also incredibly helpful. You’ll take away actionable tips for making simple but high-impact changes that serve you and your pote... more

    If you feel like you don’t fit in the “box” of the marketing advice you see everywhere… close all your tabs and just start listening to Deanna! She’s fun, creative and super smart about branding and online marketing. I’ve worked with her to implement a Static 9 grid on my instagram account and I’m really happy with the results so far! Think outside the box and listen to Deanna’s podcast!

I work in the same industry as Deanna and so much of what is out there in terms of “support” or “tips” is unrelatable, unsustainable, dry, bland, makes me feel bad, or is delivered in a bizarrely chipper way that makes me want to throw my phone into the street and back over it with my car.

    But not Deanna’s podcast.

    She offers practical and simple advice for real people who own businesses, her tone is upbeat but not obnoxiously over-positive, ... more
