"We Almost Quit"… 1 Year of Unfiltered Brew

We made it to 30 episodes… and somehow, it’s already been a year! In this episode, it’s just us, no guest, no script, just the real story behind Unfiltered Brew. From recording in our apartment with no clue what we were doing, to building something that’s brought us into rooms we once dreamed about… this one’s personal. We talk about what it actually looks like to build a podcast with your best friend—the good, the frustrating, and the moments we almost broke. The growth, the doubts, the lessons, and the reality of doing everything on our own. We get into confidence, communication, fear, rejection, and what keeps us showing up every single week—even when it’s hard. If you’ve ever wanted to start something, felt discouraged, or questioned yourself along the way… this episode is for you. This is 1 year of Unfiltered Brew. No filter, no holding back.

We sat down with Aimon Ali, a fashion entrepreneur and founder of Fashion Talks, to talk about what it actually looks like to build a fashion scene in Cleveland.

Now, she’s preparing to shut down a city street for her biggest runway yet this summer. We get into her first show, the chaos behind the scenes, the moments she almost broke, and how she turned an idea into a full creative ecosystem. We also talk about staying vs leaving, identity, and what it takes to build something when no one really understands it yet. If you’re building something and figuring it out as you go—this one’s for you.
