• Story-first interviews focused on personal transformation, community, and creative hustle

• YouTube + Spotify episodes

• Companion short-form content for each episode (reels, audiograms)

2. Reels + Mini Scene Scripts

  • Hotel/staycation scenes

  • Salon meal scene (connection-focused)

  • Birthday celebration scenes

• Scene as story vs. direct pitch (like sneakers completing a last-minute outfit)

• Character "Valli" to embody the brand (through story-driven reels)

3. Short Story Projects

• Emotional fantasy story about heroine (Jynara) battling internal good vs evil

• Inspired by heartbreak, betrayal, abandonment, and identity loss

• Magic tied to emotion and internal struggle

• Cliffhanger ending: Does she become the villain?

• Creatures born from emotions

• May expand to a full book if well received

4. Book Ideas

• Non-traditional memoir-style book

  • Working title: Notes from the Sacred Middle ( I don't like this title. I don't even know if i want to write this.)

  • Theme: Uncertainty, reinvention, betting on self

  • Inspired by current life (no job, building something from scratch)

  • Each chapter is a snapshot of mindset shifts and experiments

• Could include:

  • Philosophical reflections

  • Journal-style entries

  • Manifestation + faith mixed with real struggle

🌀 PERSONAL GROWTH + MINDSET IDEAS

1. Experiments + Self Challenges

• 10-Day Shift challenge (beginning April 1)

• Rule of 100 (100 attempts = momentum builder)

• Journaling daily with pen and paper

• Manifestation through “surrender” and co-creation

• Building momentum via action over perfection

2. Blog + Social Content Themes

• “When people see your magic before you do”

• “Fear of success vs. fear of failure”

• “Notes from the Sacred Middle” (early preview of book content)

• Self-trust and betting on yourself

• Shrinking yourself to fit expectations

• Creative identity as a non-linear journey

👣 FUTURE-LOOKING IDEAS

1. GrandValli Growth Vision

• Traveling city-to-city to document small business stories

• Franchising GrandValli or building satellite teams in different cities

• Creating a living ecosystem where community members refer talent/services to each other

• Focusing on “creation over outcome” as a guiding principle

2. Brand Expansion Concepts

• GrandValli soundtrack/album

• Collaborating with musicians like Falling Castles or local artists

• Creating a sneaker doc or visual story tied to local culture

• Seasonal themes for projects (summer = braids, ice cream, glow; winter = cozy, resilience, etc.)

Alot of this are just thoughts and ideas I have used ChatGPT to help me think through. Some of it I have done nothing with and some I have started and not finished. I guess only time will tell what actually comes to life and what works out.
