Monday Morning Jumpstart:
How Big Ideas Create Big Opportunities

Watch Video

In today’s Monday Morning Jumpstart, AWAI’s Jade Trueblood sits down with Sandy Franks — longtime copy chief, publisher, course creator, and the writer behind the Just One Good Idea Substack — to explore why thinking like a “moonshot” can completely change your trajectory.

In this episode, you’ll discover …

  • why writing down your ideas — even the crazy ones — builds the creative muscle that leads to breakthroughs.
  • how to use AI tools to rapidly expand and elevate your ideas, so you’re never stuck or limited by your own perspective.
  • why now is the easiest time in history to be a self-publisher — and why you shouldn’t wait for a client to start writing.
  • how using a powerful yet simple strategy to reconnect with past clients could open the door to your next paid project.

If you’re ready to push your ideas further, uncover new opportunities, and grow a writing business that’s truly your own, this episode will give you a massive boost forward.

Join us every Monday morning for a boost of writing motivation, plus tips and strategies to make sure you’re staying on track and moving toward your goals all year.
