Make Cool Sh*t is a podcast about creativity, ideas, and the people behind them.

Hosted by Drew O’Brien, it dives into what it really takes to build something from scratch, exploring the wins, the losses, and everything in between.

Each episode uncovers the inspiration, authenticity, and process behind making things that matter through real conversations with creatives, founders, and mavericks doing it their way.

No fluff. No guru talk. Just stories, laughs, and how cool sh*t actually gets made.

DECISIONS FROM FREEDOM, NOT FEAR.

Genea Barnes is the founder of Be The Wolf, a coaching and mentoring practice helping entrepreneurs heal from trauma and make decisions that actually move them forward.

In this episode, Drew and Genea talk about fear-based decision-making, why most entrepreneurs are stuck in prevention mode instead of creation mode, and how the invisible cages we build for ourselves dictate everything from our pricing to our client relationships. If you're a founder trying to grow without burning out, this one's for you.
