#ShowUpWeird for 31 Days
I'm challenging myself to show up every damn day for a month. Wanna play along?
Here's the Deal
I've been sitting on the sidelines for months now. What started as legitimate delays (hurricanes, health issues) turned into overthinking every video before I even hit record. Sound familiar?
So I'm calling myself out. Publicly. For 31 days, all of July 2025, I'm showing up with whatever's on my mind, whatever I'm working on, whatever weird thing I'm obsessed with this week.
No grand strategy. No content calendar perfection. Just me, being me, consistently.
And if you're tired of your own bullshit excuses about why you're not showing up either, jump in. Let's be messy together.
My Very Loose Rules
One video per day. Even if it's terrible.
Whatever's on my mind goes. Business stuff, random obsessions, childhood trauma from 80’s movies, all fair game.
Phone only. I'm not buying equipment for this experiment.
Post it and move on. No 47 takes. No endless editing.
Be weird. Because trying to be normal is exhausting.
What I'm Going to Talk About
(And you can steal these ideas or make up your own—I'm not your content manager)
Day 1: Why I'm Doing This Real talk about why I've been hiding and what finally made me say "fuck it, let's try."
Day 2: My Favorite Band That Everyone Knows Talking about my favorite mainstream band and why they matter to me. Probably getting emotional about lyrics.
Day 3: Behind My Desk Showing you the chaos of my actual workspace. The coffee rings, the random sticky notes, the pile of books I pretend I'm going to read.
Day 4: Band No One Talks About Introducing you to an obscure band I love and playing their best song while I drink coffee and probably dance badly.
Day 5: Concert Story Time A concert memory and what it taught me about life.
Day 6: Software I Can't Live Without Walking through a software I love and why it saves my sanity weekly.
Day 7: Random Pet Peeve The thing that annoys me more than it should. Probably something weirdly specific.
Day 8: Travel Story Monday Telling you about a trip and the random thing that happened that I still think about.
Day 9: Show and Tell Grabbing something from my desk/house that means nothing to anyone else but makes me happy. Explaining why I keep it.
Day 10: What I'm Working On Actually showing you a project in progress. Mess and all.
Day 11: Gadget Love The random gadget I bought that changed my life. (Spoiler: it's probably embarrassingly simple.)
Day 12: TV Show Obsession Current binge or old favorite I keep rewatching. Why it's perfect and why you should watch it too.
Day 13: Something New I'm Trying The experiment I'm running on myself right now. Could be business, could be personal, could be both.
Day 14: Weird Habit Confession The strange thing I do that I'm pretty sure no one else does. Or maybe everyone does and we just don't talk about it.
Day 15: Music Currently On Repeat The song/album/artist I can't stop playing and what it's doing to my brain.
Day 16: Childhood Food Weirdness That thing I ate as a kid that I miss but can't find anywhere or would be judged for buying as an adult.
Day 17: Industry Hot Take Something that pisses me off about how business/branding/marketing is taught. Going off about it.
Day 18: Random Skill Demo Something I can do that has nothing to do with work but might be interesting. Or terrible. We'll find out together.
Day 19: Client Reality Story about a client interaction that taught me something important about people or business.
Day 20: Halfway Point Honesty What this process is doing to my brain. The good, the weird, the uncomfortable.
Day 21: Overrated Thing Everyone Loves The popular thing I just don't get. Prepare for controversy.
Day 22: Thing I'm Avoiding The project/conversation/decision I keep putting off and why I'm telling the internet about it.
Day 23: Tool That Changed Everything The simple thing (app, process, mindset shift) that made my work life significantly better.
Day 24: Unpopular Opinion The thing I believe that makes other people in my industry uncomfortable. Doubling down on it.
Day 25: Story That Shaped Me The random experience that influenced how I think about business/life/people.
Day 26: Current Obsession Whatever I'm deep-diving into lately. Book, podcast, rabbit hole, new interest.
Day 27: Process Reveal How I do something important in my business. The real version, not the polished explanation.
Day 28: Book/Podcast That Broke My Brain The thing I read or listened to that completely changed how I think about something.
Day 29: Childhood Memory That Still Makes Me Laugh Random story from being a kid that I probably tell too often but still cracks me up.
Day 30: Thing I Bought That I Didn't Need But Love The impulse purchase that turned out to be genius or the silly thing that brings me joy.
Day 31: Final Thoughts What this weird experiment taught me about showing up, being myself, and doing things consistently.
Why I'm Really Doing This
It's not about building an audience or growing my business (though if that happens, rad). It's about proving to myself that my thoughts are worth sharing. That consistency matters more than perfection. That showing up as myself—not some polished version—is actually more interesting.
I'm tired of overthinking every piece of content until it dies from perfectionism. I'm tired of having good ideas and letting them sit in my notes app forever.
Mostly, I'm tired of my own excuses.
Want to Play Along?
You don't have to follow my topics. Talk about whatever's on your mind. Share your favorite weird snack. Rant about customer service. Show us your pet. Teach us something random.
The only rule is: show up. Consistently. As yourself.
Use #ShowUpWeird if you want to find the rest of us doing this thing.
What You Actually Need
Your phone
Something to say (doesn't have to be profound)
The willingness to be imperfect in public
That's it. No ring lights, no scripts, no content calendar.
When It Gets Hard
Because it will. Some days you'll have nothing to say. Some days you'll feel stupid. Some days you'll wonder why anyone would care about your random thoughts.
Remember: this isn't about them. It's about you proving to yourself that you can show up consistently for something you say matters.
Let’s F*cking Go!(?)
I'm starting on July 1st, 2025. Day 1 is happening whether I feel ready or not.
NOTE: In typical “life happens” fashion, I am getting this article out late; therefore, video #1 will be late. BUT I’M DOING IT ANYWAY!
Follow along: I'll be posting daily and probably overthinking it less as we go.
Join the weirdness: Download the list if you need ideas. Tag your videos with #ShowUpWeird so we can cheer each other on.
No pressure: Seriously. This is an experiment, not a competition. Show up how you can, when you can, as you are.
Love this, I’m in!
