Welcome back to Re-imagining Online Business! In this Season 2 opener, Tristan and Brooke reunite with a raw, reflective, and real-time check-in—and preview what’s ahead.
This episode blends casual conversation with deeper questions about what it means to be entrepreneurs, facilitators, and humans in an increasingly unstable, violent, and extractive world. We talk about the business patterns we’re noticing (and resisting), what it feels like to be in a visibility-scarcity cycle, and the impossibility of showing up “strategically” while also advocating for liberation.
Here’s what we get into:
A peek at what’s coming this season: topics like the nuances of ChatGPT, visual branding with integrity, and the “is Instagram dead?” convo.
A sincere and vulnerable exchange around gender identity and personal evolution
The deep tension between capitalism and the grief of witnessing more and more state violence
Questions of responsibility, urgency, and sustainability in business right now
If you’re sitting with the both/and of business and grief, strategy and uncertainty—you’re not alone. This season, we’re exploring it in more detail.

At a time when people are spending less and less on non-essentials, how are service-based business owners considering offers design? What “worked” in 2020-2021, and even in 2022-2023, has shifted considerably. And we can’t simply change our prices in order to continue to meet and serve our clients—that won’t support us in creating sustainable work.
This episode starts with a very important update on the topic of Justin Timberlake and Tristan’s previous claim that he’s a “good guy.”
Additional topics discussed:
- The value of getting clear about what we actually do, and being as specific as possible about how we help clients cultivate results.
- The role of having a methodology or framework, and the importance of being willing to ditch it or for it to shift and evolve over time or with each client.
- Rethinking the value ladder, and getting creative with our offers in order to meet the unique moment we’re in financially and socio-politically.
- Centering sustainability while also centering equity and access in our pricing and how we structure our offers to meet clients’ needs and ours.
…and more.
Resources mentioned:
- Brooke’s Creating an Effective Sales Page on-demand webinar
- Kristy Fanton’s Social Proof Sidekick
