Zero Days Since… Chelsea Needed a Chaperone – Episode 4

When your brain is fried, borrow a brain you already trust. In this Halloween drop, Chelsea and Jason get real about decision fatigue—the kind that haunts founders at 11:58pm—and how a simple “decision chaperone” turns scary choices into ship-able moves. No shame, just progress (with a little seasonal smoke). What this episode is aboutDecision fatigue hits hardest when the stakes feel personal. Chelsea opens up about needing a “chaperone” to talk through high-friction choices; Jason shows how having a trusted circle speeds things up without sacrificing judgment. Along the way: a sourcing trip reality check (LA Fashion District), a timely cocktail-smoker cameo, and a teaser for wearable-art inspiration pulled from microscope-level color palettes. The big takeaway is simple and usable today: give a trusted person two options and commit in 60 seconds.
