The Traveling Barista: "I Work 6 Months A Year To Buy The Other 6 Back"
<p>Claire didn't like coffee until she was 24 — one espresso and her "whole system said no." Today, she's a specialty barista who gets flown from Madrid to Vienna to Amsterdam to make coffee at events across Europe. Her explanation for how that happened is deceptively simple: follow what excites you, and don't argue with it.<br /><br />In this episode, I sit down with Claire — barista, visual creator, writer, and founder of IMMÄ Studio. She's the definition of multi-passionate: she's used hospitality jobs to travel through Switzerland, Australia, and Spain, managed one of Madrid's most respected specialty coffee shops, works in advertising production, and is now building a creative community rooted in one skill most of us avoid — being honest with ourselves.<br /><br />In this conversation we get into:<br />— How do you figure out what you actually want when you could do anything?<br />— The "research phase" most new creators skip — and why it costs them years<br />— Why 90% of creators quit in the first three months, and the daily reflection habit that keeps Claire going<br />— How to travel the world with a "low-skill" job (and why hospitality is the most underrated travel hack)<br />— Why connections are made in the DMs, not the comments<br />— The story behind IMÄ Studio — and why "you already are what you are" is the whole point<br />— Plus: Claire ranks every coffee drink, and the latte macchiato does not survive<br /><br />Claire's honesty about the slow, unglamorous version of the creator journey — the one where your online income doesn't pay rent yet and that's okay — is something almost nobody talks about.<br /><br />Follow Claire:<br />Substack: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://claireisonit.substack.com/" target="_blank">https://claireisonit.substack.com/</a><br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCnOrO3DOQtXweOoUgx2kKzw" target="_blank"><b> @imma__studio </b></a> <br /><br />no distraction:<br />Get weekly anti-letters: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://abbidogan.substack.com/" target="_blank">https://abbidogan.substack.com/</a><br />Abbi's world: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/abbiDogan" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/abbiDogan</a></p>

The Mindset Coach: "Self-Development Is Secretly Keeping You Stuck"
<p>What if the self-development you keep consuming is the exact thing keeping you stuck?<br /><br />In this episode, Austra makes a confession most coaches never would: for years she taught people how to master their mindset while quietly struggling behind the scenes — until she realized that consuming personal growth had become her most sophisticated form of procrastination.<br /><br />Austra hosts two podcasts, Wisdom in Action and Chase the Impossible, and works as a mindset coach. But her story is anything but a polished highlight reel. She spent years convinced she "just couldn't run" — then went on to finish five half marathons, a half Iron Man, and the original marathon route in Athens, all by following one rule: commit before you're ready. Along the way she learned that realness, not perfection, is what actually makes people connect.<br /><br />In this conversation, Austra and I get into:<br />– Why "consuming self-development" might be the most comfortable way to avoid actually changing<br />– The difference between theory experts and life experts — and who you should really be listening to<br />– What three weeks offline until 8PM does to the way you think (and why boredom became a superpower)<br />– How to reframe rejection so a single "no" stops running your decisions<br />– Why you'll never feel ready — and how to start anyway<br />– The lesson she resisted longest: why you can't build, heal, or grow entirely alone<br />– How to identify your own "impossible" and actually chase it<br /><br />This one is for anyone who's read all the books, saved all the clips, and still feels like they're standing still :)<br /><br />Follow Austra:<br />Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/austra.putnina/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/austra.putnina/</a> <br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCFUkCLTiei41RIkUK6w4Zrg" target="_blank"><b> @wisdominactionpod </b></a> <br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://studio.youtube.com/channel/UCiI3SagfMWiUVN6HjvBFesw" target="_blank"><b> @austraputnina </b></a> <br /><br />no distraction:<br />Get weekly anti-letters: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://abbidogan.substack.com/" target="_blank">https://abbidogan.substack.com/</a><br />Abbi's world: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/abbiDogan" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/abbiDogan</a></p>

The Self-Made Creator: "I Tried Everything For 3 Years And Failed — Then I Bet My Last $300"
<p>She was kicked out of her home at 16, pulling 12-hour barista shifts for barely a few euros an hour, with $300 to her name and no backup plan. Three years and a string of failed online businesses later, she bet everything on one last shot — and stumbled onto the counterintuitive truth that built her entire brand: people don't relate to your wins, they relate to your suffering.<br />Estere isn't a famous founder or a guru with a decade of credentials. She's a self-made creator who built a sold-out coaching business on X from absolute zero — twice — after her first account was banned overnight at 2,800 followers. Her edge isn't luck or a big audience. It's a philosophy she calls "world building": turning your story, your struggles, and the things you don't have into a brand people can't look away from. In this conversation she breaks it down with no fluff and no recycled advice.<br />In this episode:<br /><br />— Why talking about what you DON'T have beats flexing your wins every single time<br />— The "hill you die on" philosophy, and why having haters might be the whole point<br />— How one post about quitting university got her 1,000 followers in 24 hours<br />— The brutal reason most offers never sell, and the one question that fixes it<br />— What losing her entire business overnight taught her about starting again<br />— Why your self-esteem might be the real ceiling on your income<br />— The lesson that changed everything: how letting go led to her biggest month yet<br /><br />If you've ever felt like you needed results before you were allowed to have a story, this one's for you.<br /><br />Follow Esther:<br />X: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/esterezw" target="_blank">https://x.com/esterezw</a><br /><br />no distraction:<br />Get weekly anti-letters: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://abbidogan.substack.com/" target="_blank">https://abbidogan.substack.com/</a><br />Abbi's world: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/abbiDogan" target="_blank">https://linktr.ee/abbiDogan</a></p>
