Andi pulls back the curtain on what she’d do to build a cult-status brand in just 90 days — the kind of brand people brag about discovering first, screenshot for their vision boards, and obsessively share with their group chats. Spoiler: it’s exactly what she’s doing with Casa Noon right now. Before diving into the 3-part roadmap, Andi also shares what’s happening behind the scenes — from buying her dream home in LA (fingers crossed!) to signing off on her first beauty product — and introduces the 7 Day CEO Reset Challenge, starting May 12 inside OOO Club. ✨ This episode is for the founder who’s ready to: - Build a magnetic brand that sells on vibe as much as value - Stop guessing what your audience wants and start creating for her actual life - Reset your energy, systems, and strategy before summer hits Andi shares: 🌿 A behind-the-scenes life update (spoiler: big shifts, dream house vibes, and cosmic alignment with ChatGPT clients) 🧠 The exact 3-month roadmap to build an obsession-worthy brand: Month 1: Obsess over the person, not the product — emotional clarity > demographics Month 2: Build the product and the world around it — vibe, tone, packaging, and rituals matter Month 3: Launch loud, then listen louder — feedback is data, screenshots are gold Plus — all the juicy details on the 7 Day CEO Reset Challenge kicking off May 12 inside OOO Club   Links & Mentions: Join the 7 Day CEO Reset Challenge in OOO Club Visual Brand Style Masterclass (free!)

Cult brands sell belonging. The “this is it” screenshot moment is your cue to double down. If your brand doesn’t feel aligned anymore, you don’t need to quit — you need to reset. 👯‍♀️ Want in on the summer mastermind?

Andi pulls back the curtain on some of the biggest shifts happening inside Oui, We Studio. From launching a blog that turned into a multi-six-figure business, to building a best-selling course now headed back into the vault, she shares the raw, unfiltered truth behind what’s working — and what’s no longer aligned. You’ll hear the evolution of Oui, We Studio, the behind-the-scenes of The Unschool Intuitive Biz Academy, and why she’s stepping away from clickbait content and viral metrics in favor of resonance and real connection. Plus, Andi gives a peek into what’s next: including her new beauty brand Casa Noon and the deeper role Human Design is playing in everything from offers to content creation. This episode is a must-listen if you’re navigating your next evolution as a founder — or wondering how to pivot with clarity and conviction. Takeaways: Oui, We Studio began in 2017 as a single digital course. The blog Oui, We Girl was an early (and major) source of revenue. The Conscious Creatives Business School was Andi’s first program rooted in sustainable strategy. The Unschool focused on intuitive, Human Design-led business growth. Andi shares how she’s rethinking success beyond vanity metrics. Creating ad-free, calm learning spaces has become a top priority. A $10K investment in a speaking coach led to booking a $10K speaking gig. The Unschool is going into the vault — not forever, but for now. Expect more tools like the Co-CEO Toolkit.

Andi breaks down the concept of Proof-Optional Vision — the inner knowing that drives founders and creatives to move before the path is paved. She shares powerful real-world stories from her early fashion incubator days, the creation of her beauty brand Casa Noon, and the behind-the-scenes moments with multi-passionate founders who went on to land CFDA Awards, make the 30 Under 30 list, and scale six & seven figure brands — all before they had the following, funding, or press. In this episode, you’ll walk away with tangible strategies to cultivate your own Proof-Optional Vision, reframe how you show up in your business, and begin building a magnetic brand that feels inevitable — even before the results start rolling in. Takeaways: - Proof-Optional Vision is the superpower every obsession-worthy founder shares. - You don’t need a massive following, investor backing, or perfect strategy to get started. - Clarity comes after commitment — not before. - Delusional clarity is often required to move forward. - You can cultivate vision with intentional practices and community. - Done is better than perfect — create before you're ready. - Build an archive of “future memories” to train your mind to spot success. - Surround yourself with people who believe in your vision before the results show up. - You become the proof by trusting the vision before it's validated.
