Dear FSC FANGIRL!!!
Big news today, strap in gf.
This year marks 7 freaking years of FSC (and 700something episodes 🫨) still can’t believe that. If you’ve been around our neck of the internet woods for a hot minute, you know there’s been a lot of bumpy ups and downs! Aka burnout on repeat, bestie breakup, ADHD, health stuff/house stuff.
Which brings me to my every-once-in-a-while waffle …
Rewind for quick context:
FSC started in 2019 because I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life. I was still searching for that thing. I'd built a jewelry brand (RIP Kincs 💔) that I loved in a lot of ways: cute packaging, cute chicks, cute pop-ups ~um hi, Paris Fashion Week~ and the sparkle of it all… But I couldn't picture myself doing it long term. There was still a little somethin’ somethin’ missing.
So I put my intense vomit-level lack of self confidence aside and launched the pod, recording episodes on a gf’s bedroom floor with my phone and a crappy mic. Even though I was allergic to the idea of public speaking and interviewing people I didn’t know, the desire and drive to find my way was stronger than my fear of failure.
I started asking smart, successful women I admired how they figured it out and thought that maybe if I understood how they built what they built, it would help me figure out the answer for myself. Spoiler: it very much did… FSC quite literally changed my life in more ways than I dreamed possible.
Somewhere along the way without even fully realizing it, we built something pretty special centred around connection, conversations and joy - and I accidentally found the thing I’d spent a decade searching for.
Fast forward to the world today:
Everyone I speak to lately is saying the same thing. The world feels…. crazy. It’s gotten SO noisy. Full of extreme, polarising views shouting at us in a million directions, engineered for an emotional, usually fear-based reaction. So serious. So AI-everything. It's hard to hear our own thoughts and perspectives.
Add on top of that the fact that we’re more addicted to living life through a screen + phone than ever (sooo guilty 🙋♀️), we’re bombarded with constant reminders that we suck - optimise more! for productivity! and business! and learning more! and doing more! We’re operating in this weird alternate universe online instead of the world around us.. feeling exhausted, burnt out, and forever behind.
When did everything become so serious?? Is it really the deal we have to make? It feels gross.
According to the pro’s, relationships are the single strongest predictor we have of how long, happy, and healthy we live. Stronger than wealth, genetics and IQ. It shapes almost everything else around us; from our creativity, our opportunities, our sense that life is actually going somewhere. Which feels like the opposite of the world (and screens) we’re living through right now.
So here's what I've been noodling on: Instead of just being content on a screen and some other thing to consume, what does FSC look like if it’s centred around connection, conversation, female friendship & JOY - not only online - but IRL too.
Say hi to FSC 2.0 👋
We have 3 big changes to get excited about!
💬 The launch of our private group chat, strictly for FSC fangirls
Think of it like a book club with a date in the diary to catch up with chicks who have shared interests. Except instead of a book it's the pod! A place to talk about the conversations we’re having with experts each week, be involved in the show in a deeper way, and have some fun! Cheeky chats and rituals that bring us together, comin’ right up. *It's free, and I'll be in there too obvs.
📆 The launch of IRL events
We're kicking off our first event series in Sydney, New York, and LA this year, built around the same goal as the pod: female friendship, connection & joy. Some soft socialising to look forward to in an otherwise busy, jam-packed schedule. Our fangirls will get priority access to tickets, special offers and some super cute surprises - come hang out with us in August and September… 😉
🎧 The show itself
You know us as a business pod with founder stories & practical playbooks. (And we still love those!). But FSC 2.0 is a show where we can learn from all kinds of brilliant minds: doctors, scientists, philosophers, experts..
FSC 2.0 is the go-to show for modern women building a life that’s super rich in health, wealth and collected wisdom.
Our FSC fangirls 🪭 (you!) will shape where we go next… which cities we host in, which topics we dive into, and what we will ultimately get up to in this new era.
You’re invitation:
From one fangirl to another!
And bc you know I love cute things, you better believe we made merch. Our first fangirls will be on the receiving end of some super cute fan mail from moi!
Seven years in and I think this might be the most excited I've been about this next chapter 🥹 thanks for being part of the ride.
Love from YOUR fangirl right back,
Doone
