What are you curious enough to try?
Maybe it’s starting the business. Launching the podcast. Changing careers. Building the app. Turning what you know into something people will actually pay you for.
You’ve probably thought about it enough.
I help entrepreneurs and people with big ideas stop overthinking what they want to do, figure out the next move, and start making it real.
Hi, I’m Stephanie.
I’m a product leader, entrepreneur, and creator of Curious Enough to Try.
For more than 15 years, I’ve worked in technology and product development, helping take complicated ideas and turn them into things people can actually use.
And somewhere along the way, I realized the way we build products is a pretty good way to approach the things we want to do in our own lives.
We don’t wait until we know exactly how everything is going to work. We start with an idea. We build something. We test it. We pay attention. We change what needs to change.
That’s the thinking behind Cully & Co., The Try Lab, and pretty much everything I do now.
Because you can spend a year wondering whether something will work.
Or you can try it and start finding out.
Why the Try Lab
I got tired of watching smart people prepare to do things they were completely capable of trying.
And honestly, I was one of them.
We research. Save posts. Listen to podcasts. Ask people what they think. Take another course. Make another plan. Tell ourselves we’re getting ready.
Sometimes we are.
And sometimes “getting ready” has become a really convincing way to avoid finding out what happens if we actually try.
I saw it in myself with my podcast. I thought about starting one for years. I had plenty of reasons why it wasn't the right time yet.
Eventually, I stopped trying to figure out exactly how it would go and started.
And suddenly I had information I could never have gotten from thinking about it.
I knew what recording felt like. I knew what I liked. I knew what I wanted to change. I had new questions I wouldn't have known to ask before I started.
That’s when this became bigger than a podcast for me.
You don't think your way into clarity. You do your way into clarity.
That's why I created The Try Lab.
Not to give you more information to consume.
To give you a place to finally do something with the idea you've been carrying around.
Why Did You Start The Try Lab?
I got tired of watching smart people prepare to do things they were completely capable of doing.
And honestly, I was one of them.
I’ve spent years working in product and technology, where we rarely know exactly what will work before we build it. We come up with an idea, make the smallest version we can, put it in front of real people, learn from what happens, and change it.
But in our own lives? We do the exact opposite.
We research. We take another course. We listen to another podcast. We make a prettier plan. We tell ourselves we’ll start when we know more, have more time, feel more confident, or finally figure out the perfect way to do it.
At some point I realized we weren’t preparing anymore. We were hiding.
I saw it in myself when I wanted to start a podcast. I thought about it for years. Then I finally did it and realized the thing I had built up in my head was completely different once I actually tried it.
That experience changed the way I looked at a lot of things.
You don’t think your way into clarity. You do your way into clarity.
That’s why I created The Try Lab.
It’s not another course where I give you 47 videos to watch and hope you magically do something with them. It’s a place to bring the thing you keep saying you want to do, whether that’s starting a business, launching a podcast, building an app, changing careers, or trying something completely different, and actually test it.
You pick something. You try it. You see what happens. You learn. You adjust. Then you try again.
Because I don’t think most people need another person telling them what they should do. They need a place that helps them finally find out what happens when they actually do it.
How Can I Work With You?
If there’s something you keep saying you want to do, but somehow you’re still talking about it instead of doing it, start with The Try Lab.
The Try Lab is a 6-week program where you choose one real project you want to move forward. Maybe you want to launch a podcast, test a business idea, build an app, make a career move, or finally start something you’ve been thinking about for way too long.
You’re not coming to sit through six weeks of lessons. You’re coming to actually work on your thing.
Each week, you’ll decide what you’re going to try, take action, and come back with what happened. You’ll have a clear plan so you know what to work on next, a small group of people expecting you to actually do it, and direct feedback and support when you get stuck or need to figure out your next move.
The goal isn’t to leave with more information. The goal is to leave six weeks later with something that exists because you finally tried.
Want more individual support? I also work with a limited number of people through 1:1 coaching. We can dig into your idea, business, career, or project and figure out what’s keeping you stuck and what you should actually do next.
If you’re a business or organization, I also work with teams on product management, Agile, strategy, and turning complicated ideas into work that actually gets delivered. You can schedule a call with me through my Calendly to talk about what you’re working on and whether I can help.
And if you’re interested in having me speak, join a podcast, or collaborate on something, reach out. I’m always curious enough to hear the idea.
