Think you need to have your course or program perfect before you launch it? Nope.

That’s where beta testing comes in. It gives you a way to test, tweak, and learn—all while making sales.

Beta testing isn’t about giving away your offer for free or settling for less—it’s about creating alongside your audience, gathering real feedback, and making your offer stronger with every round.

In this episode of Coffee Social, Jonathan and I share how beta testing can help you:
💡 Build as you go (without waiting months to “be ready”)
🗣️ Get direct feedback on what’s working—and what’s not
📍 Learn where your community prefers to connect (FB group, email, etc.)
💸 Practice selling at a lower price point so you can gain confidence and later charge your full value
🎯 Adjust your content to play to your strengths while helping students get better results

The truth is: beta testing benefits you just as much as your audience. You’ll walk away with insights, momentum, and a stronger offer you know works.

Ready to stop waiting for perfect and start testing in real time?

Let’s clear this up: it’s not too late to start a podcast. 🚀

Podcasting isn’t just for influencers or celebrities, and it isn’t just about landing sponsorships or chasing ad dollars.

It can really help grow your business.

In this episode of Coffee Social, Jonathan and I share how podcasting can help you:
💡 Reach new audiences outside of Instagram and TikTok
📈 Turn episodes into lead-generating machines
📝 Repurpose long-form content for blogs, reels, and SEO
👯 Decide whether solo, co-host, or guest episodes are your best fit

Podcasting gives you visibility, credibility, and a way to connect that social media alone can’t.

No fancy equipment or big following required—just your message, a mic, and the willingness to start.

Answer this week's question...

Are you TEAM looking at data or TEAM ignore & create?

You don’t need to obsess over likes and views to know if your content is working. 📊

Let’s be real—too many creators measure success with the wrong numbers. The truth? Your posts could be hitting your goals harder than you realize—you just have to track the right metrics for the stage you’re in.

In this episode of Coffee Social, we break down the social media metrics map to focus on for every goal in your marketing funnel:

📈 Awareness – impressions, likes, video views, and audience size
💬 Demand – comments, shares, and engagement rate
🛒 Conversions – link clicks and page conversions
📚 Adoption – brand mentions, reply rate, and response time
🙌 Advocacy – UGC, post engagement, and % of impressions

If you’ve been stuck in “vanity metric” mode or second-guessing your results, this is your roadmap to finally measure what matters—and grow with purpose.

Answer this week's question...

Are you TEAM hide & ignore it or TEAM tell the truth?

Not every collab is meant to last. And that’s okay. 💔

Let’s be real—sometimes a business collaboration just isn’t the vibe you thought it would be. Whether it’s a social media series or brand partnership, you had high hopes. Matching energy. Maybe even a shared Canva folder. But somewhere along the way you realize… this isn’t working.

In this episode of Coffee Social, we’re talking about the awkward, uncomfortable, but completely necessary art of ending a collaboration gracefully (and professionally).

If you’ve been feeling stuck, stressed, or guilty about wanting to pull the plug on a collab—you’re not alone. Mimi opens up about the internal panic she feels when ending partnerships, while Jonathan brings his signature bluntness (and some very needed tough love 💥).

You don’t have to ghost, lie, or over-explain. You just need honesty, boundaries, and a little courage.

Pour yourself a strong brew—it’s time for the breakup talk.

Answer this week's question...

Are you TEAM VIDEO (all about reels and TikToks) or TEAM PHOTO (still loving grid aesthetics)?

You don’t need more motivation. You need a system—and the discipline to stick to it. 💥

Let’s face it—motivation is fleeting. But if you’re serious about growing your brand and showing up on social media consistently, it’s time to build discipline that lasts.

In this episode of Coffee Social, we’re spilling the coffee on how to actually stay consistent with your content as a solopreneur or creator—without burning out or faking the vibes.

We cover:
💡 The real reason you’re not posting consistently
🧩 What discipline looks like for real-life humans (not robots)
🎨 Fun ways to fall back in love with creating again
🗓️ How to build sustainable content habits that stick

If you’ve been in a creative rut, too tired to post, or waiting for the “perfect” day to show up—this one’s your reminder: you already have everything you need. Now let’s build a plan that works like clockwork.
