3 🔥 Visibilty tips from Miki Agrawal!


Hey Reader,

I hope you've survived the 750 years that was January 2026 and feel prepared for the long, hard, always slightly nebulous month of February... am I making it sound heavy? Sorry!

I'm actually feeling very inspired and hopeful right now!

This is due in part to the fire conversation I'm editing with the one and only, Miki Agrawal.

Miki the QUEEN of disrupting stale systems and building multi-million dollar empires from creativity and courage.

If there is anyone to look to for inspiration on ways to get your business seen and noticed - it's Miki!

She is the genius creator and 4x founder behind the brands Wild, Thinx, TUSHY & Hiro Diapers - all innovating and leveraging new technologies to completely disrupt systems that are doing irreparable damage to the planet and our bodies.

Mountains of women's period products in landfills? --> THINX

Rapid deforestation of the Amazon rainforest? --> TUSHY

Uncomfortable, bleached baby diapers that don't decompose? --> HIRO

They harnessed plastic-eating mycelium to design the diapers... 🤯

This woman is a legend and she's only in her early 40's.

Miki shared choice words about how to be brave, bold and disruptive in our marketing when you care deeply about something.

Now - here's the thing...

I didn't finish editing this episode yet because frankly it's not a neat, clean interview.

It's more of a casual convo and the sound was in and out at points, so I'm working on getting the audio balanced (and cutting out long moments of me fan-girling out 🤭).

But - I have a favor to ask.

I publish this tomorrow - and I would LOVE your support in getting it heard.

Please save this page, listen to the convo, comment on it, and share it.

As a premature thank you, below are 3 tips from my chat with Miki about how to become more visible in your business and be known as the leader you already are.

Every entrepreneur can learn from her about how to be fearless in our work.

3 Visibility Tips inspired by Miki Agrawal

→ 1. Ditch the Ego & Be Brave Anyway
There’s zero room for perfectionism when you’re building something that's all YOU. The ego will tell you to wait until it’s more polished, more clear, more… safe. But that day will never come. Meanwhile? Your people need the real you.

Show up messy. Show up with your heart open. Show up now and speak your truth.

→ 2. Think WAY Outside the Box
Can you do something today that surprises your audience? What if your next post was a personal story instead of a pitch? What if your email starts with a confession instead of a CTA? Disruption doesn’t require drama. It just takes creativity.

Brainstorm a short list of ways you can shock your audience a little bit and get them to wake up and take notice.💥

→ 3. Don’t Do It Alone

The best brands are built by leaning on others, building teams, sharing tools, and creating support systems. YES - even if you are a one-person business.

Can you ask a biz bestie to go live on IG to chat about your topic? Can you collaborate with the brand you're in competition with?

Have an expert take over your email list for a week and inspire your audience. Hire help for 5 hours a week. Get your time back and allow yourself to be inspired by the creative ideas of others as you focus on connecting more with people.


I'll send another email when the episode drops and I can't wait to share it.

But in the meantime, I'd love to hear:

Three Simple Sales Scripts for Digital Products

Hey there, Reader! This past weekend I was lucky to escape to Orlando for a few days and participate in Podfest Expo. While there, I led a short masterclass on simple Digital Product funnels. I got a lot of questions about... DUN DUN --> Sales! As I was sharing some of the psychology behind digital sales (different than in person sales in many ways), it occurred to me: I should be sending this info to my list! So, let’s make sales messaging way less complicated. If you’ve ever created a...
