The Business Stuff Nobody Warns You About With Shannon Hill

Send us Fan Mail The minute you register that LLC, the wolves come for the fresh meat. In this episode, Steph sits down with her bestie Shannon Hill — calling in from her morning commute — to talk about all the stuff nobody warns you about when you start a business. They get into which tools are actually worth your money and which subscriptions to cancel, why you should always own your own domains and logins (and the GoDaddy trick to watch out for), and the tangled messes that trip up small business owners. Then the conversation turns where Unwritten always does — toward the truth underneath. Steph opens up about the fear of putting on events and not filling the seats, the "barbed wire" she pushes through just to show up, and the quiet voice that whispers you're not enough. The reminder at the heart of it: you got up, got dressed, and actually did the damn thing. That counts for more than you think. 🎧 Featuring a love letter to CapCut, a warning about GoDaddy, Martin Short on failure, and one very brief, unauthorized Taylor Swift cover. https://www.stephshanks.com https://www.instagram.com/unwrittenwithsteph https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephshanks/ https://www.youtube.com/@stephshanks https://www.tiktok.com/@stephshanks?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc https://www.facebook.com/stephshanksphotography
