Summary

In this raw and real “Laying Bricks” episode, I pull back the curtain on Q1 of 2025—from launching the second round of Your Biggest Launch Ever to experimenting with podcast monetization.

0:00.0	There is an importance of being in the trees and above the forest. When I'm in the trees,
0:05.5	I'm doing the work. My ears on the ground. I'm listening to what's going on. I'm talking to people.
0:09.3	I'm doing the work. But if you're always doing the work, you actually lose sight of what is the
0:13.1	big vision. And so this is our reminder on my very first laying breaks of 2025.
0:18.8	Stay above the forest. Welcome back to the Jasmine Star Show for those of you who

1:17.2	And I am a mom and I'm a wife and I'm a daughter and I hope a really good friend. Welcome to the
1:23.4	show because I want to be your really good friend. And so the kindest thing that I think friends do
1:28.2	is they spit the truth, they tell it as it is, and they also share what it is they know. That is what
1:33.3	is happening today. Today we are doing another installment of laying bricks. So what is laying bricks?
1:38.9	As a quick reminder, these are my quarterly reviews. This is no frameworks. I am not teaching. I am showing up wholly as
