This is the first episode of my new podcast Start Anyway: Building in Public with Madeline Merced.
I don’t have it all figured out—far from it. In fact, I recorded this while frustrated with my setup, rushing to pick up the kids, and still trying to fix my website. But that’s the point. I want to share the real journey of starting my Showit template business and everything that comes with it.
In this episode, I talk about setting up my camera and lights (and failing at it), trying to understand Pinterest marketing, working on freebies and templates, and just… figuring it all out in real time.

If you’re also starting something new and it feels like a lot—you’re in the right place. Let’s build in public, messy and imperfect, but moving forward anyway.
