Calm & Colorful: Not Your Average MBA Diaries
Jessica Brittani
16 episodes
1 week ago

This podcast is not polished. It’s not planned out. It’s just me — recording voice notes in real time as I move through the One Day MBA program and rebuild my business from the inside out.


I’ve been running my business for seven years. But this? This is Calm & Colorful 2.0. A new version. A deeper mission. A bigger ripple. And I’m documenting the journey as it unfolds — one day, one alignment, one breakthrough at a time.


The One Day MBA is an 18-month, hands-on business accelerator where you grow your business in real time — with strategy, coaching, community, and way more truth-telling than I expected. I said yes because I was ready to bring my business back to life. To lead with more clarity, more confidence, and more me.


Because this season is all about being fully alive in it — not just getting through it.


This podcast is for the ones doing business with babies on their hips and big dreams in their hearts.

For the ones who crave both strategy and softness.

For the mamas bringing their full selves to the work.


Mama. Business. Alive.

Unfiltered. Unedited. Just one day at a time.

The lessons I talk about from One Day MBA classes or community events are not a substitute for actually being in the program. Think of this podcast as my unfiltered notebook — shared in hopes that it sparks ideas, encouragement, and support for your own business path.

After months of rest and surrender, I'm back with a major update: I've started my MBA with One Day!


In this episode, I share my September-October reset, why I chose presence over pressure, and how I'm building systems to balance motherhood, business, and grad school.

Calm & Colorful: Not Your Average MBA Diaries
September 2025: Stop Selling Products. Start Selling Movements.

Frank Schneider just dropped the framework that's rewiring how I think about business. It's called "Old Game New Game" and it's the difference between fighting for attention in a crowded market versus leading people through a necessary shift they're already feeling.


This isn't about creating fake urgency. This is about recognizing real shifts happening in your industry and positioning yourself as the guide people desperately need.


What You'll Learn:

  • Why most businesses are stuck selling features when they should be selling movements
  • The 4 ingredients every powerful market shift needs (missing even one kills the urgency)
  • How Slack, Airbnb, and Duolingo used this framework to make competitors irrelevant
  • The exact copy frameworks to rewrite your homepage, emails, and pitch deck
  • How I'm applying this to Calm & Colorful's mission (spoiler: we're not just teaching parenting tools)


Your Next Steps: Test "old way vs new way" language in your next social post and watch what happens to engagement.


A Note About This Content: What I share here is simply my personal journey, reflections, and takeaways from the One Day MBA program where I'm learning to rebuild my business from the inside out. The lessons I discuss from Frank's sessions aren't a substitute for actually being in the program. Think of this podcast as my unfiltered notebook - shared in hopes that it sparks ideas, encouragement, and support for your own business path.


Ready to stop competing and start leading? Let's dive in.

Ever feel like you're drowning in your own good ideas? Like you have SO many dreams for your business but you're stuck in what I'm calling "the confusion state"?


That's exactly where I'm at this week.

My scattered collection of current offers (4 books, 4 courses, coaching, and more)

The parking lot list of BIG dreams - from amusement parks that teach coping skills to massive family retreats to peer-to-peer parent support apps

The limiting belief screaming loudest right now: "Are you even capable?"

How One Day MBA is going to help me pick THE one offer families actually want

Calm & Colorful: Not Your Average MBA Diaries
September 2025: The Pricing Workshop That Broke My Brain (Why Your Price Tells a Story)

This episode is me processing in real-time the biggest pricing mindset shifts I've had since starting my business rebuild. We're talking about the wine exercise that proved we choose based on price psychology alone, the Ferrari reality that scarcity creates luxury, and why my fear of pricing (both too high AND too low) has been sabotaging Calm & Colorful.


Len taught us the Van Westendorp Price Sensitivity Method - a 50-year-old framework that uses just four simple questions to find your optimal price point. No more guessing, no more pricing from fear, no more copying competitors.


But here's the real breakthrough: I finally understand that underpricing isn't humble or generous - it's actually telling your customers that your work isn't valuable. And that hit me hard.

If you've been struggling with pricing your services, afraid to charge what you're worth, or stuck in that impossible middle of not wanting to price people out but also not wanting to undervalue your work - this episode is for you.


I'm sharing my exact action plan for implementing this method, the "money leaks" that eat your profits, and why this one workshop might change everything about how I price Calm & Colorful 2.0.

Next episode: I'm sharing my actual survey results and what happens when I test these new price points in the real world.


Key Takeaways:

  • Your price tells a story about your product quality before customers even try it
  • The Van Westendorp method: 4 questions that find your optimal price point
  • Why pricing from fear (both directions) sabotages your business
  • The hidden costs that eat your profit margins


Resources mentioned: Van Westendorp survey templates, Survey Monkey, pricing analysis tools



This podcast documents my real-time journey through the One Day MBA program as I rebuild my business from the inside out. Unfiltered, unedited, one breakthrough at a time.

September 2025: The 5 Experiment Rule + Finding Market Opportunities That Work

In this episode, I'm sharing my unfiltered notes from an incredible One Day MBA mentor session that completely shifted how I think about my business.


We dive into a framework for identifying real market opportunities (hint: if you think you have no competitors, you haven't researched enough!) and the game-changing 5-experiment rule that has me testing and learning faster than ever before.


My biggest takeaways:

  • The 4-step framework for finding market opportunities that actually matter
  • Why you need to contact founders who FAILED in your space (this was genius!)
  • How to run 5 simple experiments every week to grow your business
  • The million-dollar lessons from a mentor who sold his first business for pennies
  • Creative market research strategies you can implement today

This is my real-time learning journey through the One Day MBA program - unfiltered, unedited, and full of actionable strategies I'm implementing right now in my business.

If you're ready to stop perfecting and start experimenting, this episode is for you.



I invite you to pick one experiment from this episode and try it this week. You've got this!

September 2025 -- Broken Leg Problems & Lasting Wins

In this month’s diary entry, I share my takeaways from a community workshop with Jordyn Bonds, who once helped scale a company from $40M in monthly revenue… to zero just 18 months later.


We’ll talk about why product-market fit isn’t forever, how to spot a true “broken leg problem,” and why repeatable wins matter more than lucky breaks. Plus, I’ll share how these lessons apply directly to Calm & Colorful 2.0 as I grow through the One Day MBA.


Action step for you: Look at your last big win — then ask, what made this work, and how can I repeat it 10 more times?

September 2025 -- Building My Founder's Code

This week I joined a One Day community event on The Seven Pillars of the Founder’s Code hosted by Marki Shkreli — and it gave me the clarity I needed to anchor Calm & Colorful 2.0.

In this episode, I share my biggest takeaways:

  • Founder First — always wearing my founder hat, even at Starbucks.
  • Excellence Without Pause — making excellence the baseline, not the exception.
  • Expertise — choosing collaboration over competition and getting in the room with other experts.

I’ll also walk you through my new plan for Calm & Colorful: my founder code, my three non-negotiables, and how I’m mapping my first 100 families.

Because when founders live their values at scale, they don’t just build businesses — they build legacies.

August 2025 Recap -- Where It All Began

Jessica shares the very first monthly recap of her One Day MBA journey, documenting where Calm & Colorful stands today and what August 2025 brought to her business and life. In this kickoff reflection, she outlines the current products in her suite, celebrates the decision to officially enroll in the One Day MBA, and dives into early wins like connecting with fellow students, reading The Mom Test, hosting her first customer conversations, and even birthing this podcast itself.

She also opens up about real-life moments of entrepreneurship while parenting, her revenue and social metrics snapshot, and the lessons she’s already carrying forward—like slowing down, testing before polishing, and trusting the process. Looking ahead, Jessica sets intentions for September while grounding into her core principles: clarity over speed, conversations over assumptions, and trusting that Calm & Colorful 2.0 will unfold with steady momentum.

August 2025 -- Digging a Moat Around Calm & Colorful

This month inside the One Day MBA community event hosted by Len Porcano, I learned about moats — the defenses that protect your business from competitors. In this episode, I share how Calm & Colorful already has natural moats like niche branding, sticky family rituals, and a ripple-driven community, plus how I’m thinking about protecting the mission even as I pivot and adapt. Whether you’re a mama, a business builder, or both, you’ll walk away with practical steps to build your own moat and dream bigger for the future.

August 2025 -- Don't Talk Yourself Out of an Idea (Test It Instead)

In this episode, I share what I learned from a One Day MBA workshop hosted by Juan Linares, that completely reframed how I look at ideas, doubts, and testing in my business.

The big reminder: Don’t talk yourself out of an idea. Test it.


I’ll walk you through the 5 Why’s Forward Framework, the three core questions every idea needs to answer (What problem? For who? Why does it matter?), and why customer discovery matters more than building the “perfect” solution.


You’ll also hear the tension I’m working through — focusing on mamas of toddlers while still feeling pulled to serve all ages and how I’m learning to stay problem-first, not solution-first.


Plus: simple tips you can apply right now to validate your own ideas without overthinking or overbuilding.

August 2025 -- The Mom Test Shift

In this episode, I share how The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick completely changed the way I approach conversations — in business and in my relationships. What started as homework for my very first MBA interview turned into one of the most powerful lessons in connection, trust, and real-life insights.


Instead of pitching or pushing, I’m learning how to ask better questions, listen for stories instead of opinions, and uncover the truths that actually shape Calm & Colorful 2.0. I’ll walk you through my biggest takeaways, how I’m applying them in conversations with mamas, and what’s shifting in my business because of it.


If you’re a business owner, this book is a must-read. And if you’re a mama, I’d love to hear your real-life stories — because they’re the heartbeat of everything I create.
