250. The Shiny Idea Trap (and How to Escape It)


Season 1 Episode 250


When is the right time to start something new?

 In this debrief, Adrienne and Emily unpack their coaching session with Catherine Roe and offer a powerful reframe for any multi-passionate CEO: context determines the strategy.

They explore what made Catherine ready to grow something new — and how to know if you are too.

🎧 Listen in as they discuss:
✅ The truth about “multi-passionate” founders
✅ Why seasons of business matter more than hustle
✅ What happens when you try to grow two things that both need you
✅ The trap of chasing new ideas because you’re bored
✅ Why minimum deposits might be the most CEO thing you do

This episode is your reminder to stay focused, stay human, and trust that there’s a right time for everything — just not everything at once.

🏆 Top 5 Takeaways:

  1. It’s Not Burnout — It’s Overcommitment – Trying to grow two things at once when neither can run without you = stress.

  2. Seasons Shape Strategy – What’s wise in one season might be reckless in another.

  3. Minimum Deposits Matter – Everything doesn’t need 100% — it needs intentionality.

  4. Context Is Everything – Advice isn’t one-size-fits-all. Make decisions based on your reality.

  5. Stay Bored (Sometimes) – Not every lull means it’s time to pivot. Mastery is boring — and powerful.
