The situation

Bridget Thoreson built MyCareerRiver.com to support what she calls nonlinear career navigators — a weekly newsletter, a website, and a book in progress, balanced against a full-time job and family life. Her framework already had real traction: it's been used by 2,300+ professionals across 106 countries, with about 60% of course participants rating it "Excellent." That traction was the challenge and the opportunity. One-on-one coaching didn't scale with her life, so she set out to turn her coaching, her interview research, and her newsletter insights into a self-guided digital download — a way for people to work through her framework without her in the room.

Andrew was a fantastic guide for designing my new product. His attention to the audience experience ensured that my offering was right for my market. I was impressed at his flexibility and thrilled with the result!

What we did

Four creative facilitation sessions, working through each piece of the product Bridget needed to launch.

What it took

A working cadence that matched Bridget's bandwidth — four sessions over one week, scheduled around a full-time job and a family. And a shift in how she thought about the product: not "did I include the right exercises" but "how would I walk someone through this out loud, and what would I say?" — inflected by what her customers said they valued about her presence. That question reshaped the intro, the transitions, and the tone of every piece of copy that followed.

What came of it

A toolkit with a roadmap and a guiding voice instead of a set of disconnected worksheets, a tiered offer structure built for both revenue and accessibility, and the full launch copy suite ready for the summer rollout with a community call locked in as part of the offering.
