STARTUP or SHUTUP! is the zero-fluff entrepreneurship show for creators, influencers, DJs, artists, party promoters, indie founders, tech builders, and investors. Host Colin Fraley trades highlight reels for honest playbooks: how guests found their first customers/fans, sold out events, priced offers, landed sponsors, raised community funding, nailed GTM/PMF, and built systems that scale. You’ll hear wins, face-plants, and the SHUTUP! moment when it all turns around—proof that “you can’t do it” is just background noise. Episodes drop every other Tuesday morning.
