Hot โ€” Ready to Ship

davegorum.com
Scaffold built, content ready, design blocking
โšก Style guide / visual personality. Current build is functional but generic โ€” needs to feel like the studio.
  • Design session โ€” references, mood, typography, one page that feels right
  • Lock a component vocabulary (section, card, CTA, essay layout)
  • Deploy minimal version with Creative Founder + coaching + 2 essays
Coaching Messaging
Argument done. BrandScript done. Creative Founder manifesto drafted.
โšก Needs a home (davegorum.com). Copy is ready to place.
  • Finalize Creative Founder piece โ€” newsletter, site, or both?
  • Build coaching page on davegorum.com with CTA
  • Wire up soulform as transitional CTA on the site
Design-Pairing Offering
Big-ticket retainer. You enter the project and build together. Felt "in the pocket" during Zakk session 2.
  • Name the offering (design-pairing? creative producing? play with the copy)
  • Write the page for davegorum.com โ€” what it is, who it's for, what a session looks like
  • Distinguish from coaching: design-pairing = enter the project; coaching = enter the person
  • Zakk session 2 transcript is the reference for what this looks like live
Talk Show
Format defined. Pasquale booked Wed Mar 26 evening.
  • Record ep 1 with Pasquale
  • Edit + publish (YouTube? Site? Both?)

Clearing & Play Menu (Experiment)
Teaching pattern from Will session: obligation smothers play โ†’ source childhood play โ†’ build a freedom menu โ†’ schedule clearings. Wants to be a product.
  • Soulform: Pip-delivered interview. "What saturates you?" โ†’ "What did you love as a kid?" โ†’ builds a personal play menu + clearing practice
  • Essay/post: Write the teaching as a Tending Creativity piece โ€” clearings, play menus, the boy energy
  • Workshop exercise: Group version for incubator or B2B. Each person builds their menu live, shares it
  • Guided audio: Voice-led imagination exercise. Walk through childhood play โ†’ name 5 items for your menu โ†’ schedule your first clearing
  • Site interactive: davegorum.com page where you build your play menu. Simple form โ†’ generates a printable/saveable card
  • To kick off: Start with the essay. The teaching is fresh from today's Will session. Write it while it's alive.
