Why Didn’t You Say Your Big Stupid Idea?!
You know the one. The idea that popped into your head and made you pause.
It was too simple. Too messy. Too “obvious” to say out loud (obviously).
So you didn’t.
And then someone else did.
Now their name’s all over it.
In this episode of The Envy League, host Matthew Doherty breaks down the fear of saying your big stupid idea — and shows why that throwaway thought might actually be your easiest win, your creative cheat code, or someone else’s breakout moment.
Through brainstorm confessions, creative truths, and three damn good reasons to speak up, you’ll learn:
• Why your messiest idea still matters
• How to spot the hidden gold in what someone else almost said
• And why “stupidly simple” might be the smartest thing you can say out loud
Plus: 4 creators who post ideas out loud so good, they’ll give you the push to finally say yours and instantly upgrade your algorithm with a follow.
Ready to stop overthinking and start saying your ideas out loud?
