Babes and Business Podcast
A podcast about women building businesses, chasing ideas, and figuring it out as they went. Turns out I was also figuring out whether I wanted to have a podcast.
THE PROJECT GRAVEYARD
They seemed like a good idea at the time.

The Babe Cave
A space for women to work, connect, create, and probably avoid working by talking to each other — plus a little marketing, podcasting, and magazine-making chaos.
Real Hype AI
An AI-powered marketing idea born during the five minutes when I was convinced AI was going to become my entire personality. It did not.
Creative Media Partners
A very grown-up name for a company created by someone who does not particularly enjoy doing things the grown-up way.
Brand Contractor
Like a general contractor, except instead of renovating your kitchen, I was going to renovate your brand. This one actually still makes a suspicious amount of sense.
He(art) of Media
Emotive family films made to capture the stuff you wish you could freeze forever. Turns out I wanted to preserve everyone's memories except my own free time.
The Urban Vine
An upscale wine bar with a whole concept behind it. Never poured a single glass. 🍷
Smiles for Miles
A nonprofit I still want to start — people fundraise for the mission of helping others by RUNNING, with every dollar going to the cause chosen at the time. This one isn't dead. It's on a long run. 🏃♀️
Happy Eggs
Yes. Eggs. There was a business plan. I stand by nothing else at this time.
Sweet Peas Photography
Tiny humans, family photos, and the beginning of me realizing I really liked making things look good.
Exposure Studio
A creative studio built for content, photography, podcasts, and big ideas. This one isn't exactly dead—it just went off to live with someone else.
Wicked Pour
A candle-making company I poured my heart into. Turns out I loved the idea of a cozy candle empire more than I loved making 47 candles in my kitchen.
Getaway on the Bay
A waterfront getaway with an entire brand because apparently simply owning/renting a property without branding it was never an option.
St. Pete Tot Spot
A family daycare I dreamed up so I could stay home with my babies and still build something of my own. Apparently my solution to needing childcare was to open a childcare business.
Kerri Kobakof Photography
Bought professional equipment. Took professional photos. Never charged for a single session. Excellent business model. 📸 But it did spark my love for digital imagery, so technically… ROI.
Two Sisters with Properties
My sister Lea and I were going to buy houses, flip them, and build a little real estate empire together. We made it all the way to the name.
Clear Water
Bottled water delivered to people on Clearwater Beach who were too lazy to walk up to the restaurant. I saw a problem. I was prepared to hydrate it.
REST IN PEACE.
Unless I randomly decide to resurrect one of you.
