<p>In this episode of Failing to Tell a Story I dive into the story of <strong>Experimatch</strong>—an app concept born out of one simple problem: Where should my wife and I go for a night out? What started as a way to make date nights effortless quickly evolved into a full-fledged startup idea. I’ll take you through the journey of conceptualizing the app, the challenges of bringing it to life, and the decision to join an incubator program that turned out to be less than promising. Along the way, I’ll share the hard lessons I learned about advertising, vetting business programs, and knowing when to step away from an idea. Tune in for an honest look at entrepreneurship, the ups and downs of launching an app, and why not every great idea needs to be pursued. <strong>As always, keep it saucy!</strong></p> <p><br></p> <p>#PodcastEpisode #NewPodcast #EntrepreneurLife #StartupJourney #SideHustle #BusinessPodcast #PodcastLife #LearnAndGrow #Experimatch #AppDevelopment #TechStartup #BusinessIdeas #FailedStartup #StartupLessons #BusinessGrowth #Innovation #Entrepreneurship</p> <p>#MarketingStrategy #ProductDevelopment #AdvertisingTips #StartupAdvice #BusinessSuccess #MarketResearch #CustomerExperience</p> <p>#DecisionFatigue #DateNightIdeas #SmallBusinessSupport #TechTrends #AppDesign #VentureCapital #LessonsLearned #GrowthMindset</p>

<p>In today’s episode of <em>Failing to Tell a Story</em>, Timothy shares the tale of his overly ambitious—and ultimately disastrous—attempt to start a LEGO reselling side hustle. What began as an exciting new venture quickly spiraled into a cluttered, overwhelming mess, with unsorted bricks taking over his home and testing the patience of his supportive (and long-suffering) wife. From the thrill of scoring deals on OfferUp to the reality check of sorting thousands of LEGO pieces, Timothy reflects on the highs, lows, and life lessons he gained along the way. Tune in for a story of enthusiasm clashing with reality and learn why sometimes, walking away is the best choice. This episode is a relatable look at how one man’s drive to succeed brought him face-to-face with the importance of balance, boundaries, and learning when to let go.</p>

<p>In this episode, I share a personal reflection on the fleeting moments of parenthood and the realization that time with our kids moves faster than we think. I discuss how this led me to start a daily video journal, capturing the highs, lows, and everything in between. From cute toddler refusals to family chalk drawings and even a newborn’s first days, each video has become a cherished way to preserve memories. Tune in for insights on how I use this routine to create lasting remembrances, and maybe get inspired to find your own way to hold onto those special moments.</p>
