Embracing Chaos When Building Something Different: A Misfit Manifesto for Creative Entrepreneurs [E40]

Season One was messy, chaotic, and inconsistent—and that was exactly the design.

In this episode, Sunita reflects on what it means to be a misfit entrepreneur and why breaking rules is part of creating authentic work. She shares behind-the-scenes insights on how the first season of The Clear Signal Podcast unfolded and what it revealed about building a business aligned with your Human Design, energy, and intuition.

You’ll learn:

• Why “not fitting in” is a strength in entrepreneurship
• Behind the scenes insights about this podcast creation and production
• How chaos and experimentation lead to clarity
• The role of Gate 3 and the Channel of Mutation in innovation
• Why blending science, spirituality, and business creates future-ready strategies - and something the world is not ready for yet
• Lessons from Season One to apply in your own creative or business journey

Misfits don’t fit—and that’s the beauty. This episode is a capsule of everything Season One stood for and why it matters as we step into what’s next.

When you don't fit in and you stick to your vision - you create a lane of one that no one can touch. It will be harder now - but you will reap the rewards in the era that is coming.

Transcript

Hey everyone, at the time of this recording, this is episode 40, and so this is the finale, finale to season one. I dropped that yesterday. There's a couple of things I wanted to share. Before I went away for a minute and started season two.

And so in this episode, I share some behind the scenes and some just things that I wanna encapsulate with season one before we move on. And something that you probably are, if you're attracted to me, is a little bit unusual, a little bit of a misfit. And this episode is about misfits. But what I kind of wanna let you know is that season one was a giant permission slip.

Season one was sprinkled with different elements of, it's okay not to be perfect, mutate in public, go on a walk with a cell phone and the leaf blower is going and you just keep going and it's okay. And you know, you can change your mind, you can evolve. You're gonna lose people. You don't have to worry about other people think you don't have to try to be perfect, and so on and so forth.

So. This message is for you if you are spinning in that space. And also it's for you if you don't feel like you fit in the current paradigm of business, because the world is changing and business is changing, but right now it's still rewards people in a certain lane. And so if you feel like you can't fit and you're not willing to fit.

This is a big love note to you as well as a little bit of behind the scenes from me. And as we wrap up season one, it's a throwback to the episode I did, I believe it has Venus and Aries in the title. I'll link it in the show notes, but it was the episode where I said how to work with me and I mentioned that I was doing things in a very unusual way.

And so I pull back the little, little bit and show you what I did and why I did it.

Things about season one I think would be useful for you to know. And also, , I added some bits to the episode I just made it a little bit more organized. It was a little bit too all over the place. And in that I mentioned that the first episode of the birthday week I dropped was on a Monday, and this is on a Sunday and there is a reason for that.

So you can listen to that, just the first part of the last episode if you're interested. So, after this we will officially go into season two, but before we do, there's some bits I want to share. And this episode is not really gonna fit anywhere. It's a misfit. And that's by design. So if you wanna know what I'm talking about, keep on listening.

some of you guys are like, oh, I don't like to do things like other people. Want me to do things. , And you feel like you wanna do things your own way, and part of that's gonna be your design. Part of that's gonna be your chart. Part of that's gonna be your personality.

I'm sure I could find in your chart where it is, but that's neither here nor there. It's that that's why you're attracted to me, right? Because people like me who get on a mic and say what I say, heretical messengers. Visionary resource that is the five one are not gonna attract everybody because five one is here to break the ceiling of what is possible.

And so they're not gonna attract the conventionalist because the conventionalist are scared. And I had said last time, I have Uranus on my ascendant . Uranus is the misfit. I shared this weirdo unconventionalist, yada yada.

Something that I want to articulate and have on the mic and it's brief to ensure people can absorb all this shit. I've given you so much shit this week. And then we're gonna take a step back and that is that you'll notice that I allowed season one to be what it wanted to be. I allowed season one, two. Have some episode, had music, some didn't.

Some episodes it float. In some episodes it had, you know, it had bumpers, some episode had a hook. And then there's no consistency. There's no consistency on when things were released. There was no consistency on the format. Topics were all over the place. We went spiritual, we went law of attraction. We went numerology, we went tarot, we went, , vibration.

We went human design teaching. We went business. We went mindset. We met stories. We went tips. We went mythbusting, we did it all. And they'll be more organized and more in a flow and a rhythm as we go. But before you try to create order, you first create chaos. That's what I do, and that's my design. And so that's gate three and that's gonna be relevant in the future when I talk about how that relates to the channel of mutation.

I won't be going into deep dives on channels on this podcast, but that one is important to bring up. So Gate three's a catalyst. I said before, I'm a Catalyst Gate three invents stuff. We're a pioneer. We show up on earth, we create inventors, people trying to create podcasts that cross genres.

When podcasting is built for one SEO, keyword and everyone, you know, one audience and one lane, and people know what to, where to put you and Lada. Misfit means you don't fit. And the beauty in creativity. Is allowing yourself to do what you do. So yeah, I might go back and, and clean up some of the music.

I might go back and clean some stuff up. 'cause I want to present a certain thing. I want these to be content capsules for my brand, but I'm leaving in the fact that the name changed all the time. I'm leaving in the different covers on the RSS feed. I'm leaving in probably, I probably won't even futs with the music that much.

And it's like you gotta allow yourself to do that before you're going to. Appear perfect or close to perfect or more consistent, or whatever you want to appear as, which your people don't care anyway, for the most part.

 So one of the things that is really beautiful about art and about food and about other creative projects outside of business is that you see when things blend right. I love. Food from Burma. I think it's now they've gone back to Miramar because it is a blend of Indian food and Thai food.

My two favorite kinds of food and Burmese food is the best. I was thinking about this today because I was walking and I listened to the podcast, like I said, and I love to listen to the outro music at the end of each of my episodes.

I put that on there partly for me. You know, people don't wanna listen to the end. A lot of people drop off anyway, but there, you know, that's no skin off their nose to listen to that if they want to. I like to listen to my outdoor music because I love it when you create something, you gotta love it first, but that music is a juxtaposition.

I had the music custom made 'cause I like things a certain way.

I had a custom made and I gave inspiration for I of the tiger. I wanted inspirational, motivational Aries. Let's fucking do this. There used to be a sun on the cover that has a, eye and a microphone. You can go to my YouTube channel if you wanna see that. That's the banner and that will still be in my stuff.

Very clear signal. Two years before Clear Signal even existed. Right? And then the other inspiration was, , a song. , I think it might be. Church has Church in it, and that's from Kanye West and Jay-Z. , A blend of those two old song. Hip hop song, different genre, different era one's rock white seventies or eighties.

, And the, the, the church, if you hear that song, it's very futuristic. It's very Uranian. It's got like a futuristic almost from, and I wanted that and I wanted the motivation meets the future. I wanted Uranus meats, like, let's fucking go. That's what I wanted.

By blending two genres, we got better than something we would've had on its own. And

that's where I see the future going, of the blending of science and spirituality. And that's the intersection I wanna play at. I play at the intersection of science, spirituality, and business because my audience is business owners. But you'll notice I don't really talk about that much about business actually.

I mean, I will talk about more marketing if you will, but I don't talk about tactics and stuff because that's, not where I am passionate about talking about, but also like that's very individual to each person's situation. , I can sell you a framework. I'm not gonna sell you framework 'cause it's bullshit, especially if you're attracted to me.

Because you're probably doing things your own way. You know, you should have accountability and, and systems and operations. That's not what this is about. I'm gonna have that when I grow this right now, this was beta, so I did what I wanted to do. I allowed the vision to birth because sometimes when you try to bring in strategists too early into the vision, they fuck up the vision.

The last episode, which was quite long, but it was unexpectedly an encapsulation of everything we had done in season one. Then the one thing that we kind of missed that was a theme of season one, was this permission slip, a permission slip to evolve, a permission slip to do things your own way in business, and a permission slip to be messy in public and a permission slip to be esoteric as fuck.

I actually got praise. I got email from people who were like. Wow. Your ability will flow with things like, you know, as things were changing and whatever , in an unapologetic way was actually inspirational to people. And that's just how I am. But sometimes just showing up as you are. You don't realize that you're inspiring people out here.

It's not as easy for them as it is for you. So think about that and what you are doing and the work that you do, the message you have, and the way you're delivering it to people. You probably don't realize that what is easy for you is not easy for other people. People are always watching and people are always listening.

Whether or not they're buying, whether or not they're liking, whether or not they're clicking, they're listening.

I did things very differently this season. I had times, there was music. There was no music. The music flew in. It didn't fly in. It was abrupt. I had a hook. I didn't have a hook. There were times I was on a microphone, I was on, not on a microphone. The episodes were five minutes, and then there were 30 minutes.

And I wanted this on the feed to recognize the messiness of season one, to recognize the inconsistency, to recognize the changing of the format, the changing of the themes, losing people, gaining people, whatever.

The cadence was all over the place. , The topics were all over the place. I changed the positioning 10 freaking times. You'd have thought I was in the witness protection program by the number of times that I changed the name of this podcast , and I did it my way. But more importantly than that, forget the creative mutation, the way I ran the business aspect of it.

I didn't do the email list. I wasn't pushing heavy CTAs. , at the time of this recording, am not gonna play the, I am gonna play the SEO keyword and I'm gonna talk about the same fucking thing every single time. So I can jam that SEO keyword up your ass and then everyone's gonna come to this podcast.

That's not the game I'm playing right now. Talk to me in a year. And I might have been like, fuck it. Well, that's what we're gonna do. But right now i'm trying to build something different. I'm building something for the future, and that's a misfit science, spirituality business. It doesn't fit and it doesn't fit audience niches, and it doesn't fit this and that.

But I am building a bigger vision here, and so that's what I am going for. And so when you're a visionary, is important to bring on strategists and people to guide you. And I will be bringing on strategists when the time is right, but you gotta have the vision first because if you do it too soon. People will isolate the vision and then you'll feel like you didn't quite do what you wanted to do, which is what something I've talked about throughout this season.

And it was very much what I said in. One of the episodes where I said the paradox of the one line, something like that, the paradox of speeding up to slow down. I'll link it in the show notes and I said, I don't care if you go into the future and you're like, I would've done it differently. What I don't want is for you to go into the future and say, I would've done it differently, or I didn't trust myself because I listened to somebody else.

That's what I don't want. 'cause that's the worst feeling. That just feels like you wasted time and you didn't trust yourself. And a big part of the message of this podcast is about trusting yourself. That's a big part of what intuition is. And that's a big part of what in human design is. And the way that I do it, you got, people are gonna teach you every gate and channel and tone and variable and number and gate, and you can go and spend hours on YouTube if you wanna learn that

my people don't wanna learn that shit because they wanna use this to get where they wanna go. They wanna use this to get unstuck. They wanna use this to grow their audience. They wanna use this to build a business in line with their values and their electromagnetic signature. Speaking of electromagnetic signature, , is that really briefly, I'm not gonna talk about everything I did 'cause I'm still compiling all the case studies and all that and I'll share more, when the time is right, but.

You know, we talked about 1999, a couple episodes ago, less. I treated this podcast like 1999. There's no video. The call to action is email me in the show notes. Who the fuck does that In 1990. In 2000, what? What? What year are you in? Oh my God. 2025. Who does that? Nobody does that because nobody wants to.

Nobody wants to email you. Nobody wants to like be like, what offers do you have and how much does it cost? And let's get on a Zoom call. No. The only people who really were gonna do that are people who really, really serious. It's not the people who needed the 10,000 Instagram testimonials that are fake.

It's not the people who needed the fancy website. It's not the people who need to do 10,000 hours of research. It's not the people who are tire kickers, it's the people who are like, there's something in you. That I want to know more about and let's talk, and that was by design because I was testing electromagnetic frequency of vibration.

There's a time for a website. If you clicked on the, sales page for my astrology readings, . I've got testimonials. I've been doing offline work for this. I'll put those , in sales pages and all that when the time is right. I'm not selling based off of that.

That's social proof. There's a time for that. But right now, what I wanted is who are the people who are attracted to me? Brass tacks, energy only. What do they need and let me build what they need. And that's what I did. And I didn't even do that until people reached out to me to say, what do you got going on?

And that, that is when I put an email in the show notes. So we did this really, really unusually, and no, you're not gonna run a business that way. That's not profitable. But in the short term, if you're building something and you want to build it, right, that's my way. I'm not saying do that your way, I'm saying that, that that's not proper business.

And when you wanna run a solo podcast, I'm not sure if I mentioned this before. There's a, there's a, the formula for solo podcasting, it's 15 minutes. It's twice a week and it's, , you talk, talk, you talk about examples. , Just enough. You talk about stories, just enough that you're gonna make the other person feel like you know their problem better than they do.

That's marketing, and then you, that's it. And then you just keep doing that over and over again. It's not about providing value, it's not about telling stories. It's not about thought leadership. It's about conversion. And there's nothing wrong with that. That's a business podcast. But I chose not to do that up until now.

So misfits are gonna do things their way in general, in life and in business. You get to do things your way and it all goes back. All goes back to what I said in diary of a CEO, which is what game are you playing?

I just wanted to share that because I don't know if there's gonna be a place for this in the future.

And something else to mention really quickly here is if you are a sacral being generator or manifesting generator, but especially if you're a generator, you're gonna iterate. And oftentimes we're told like we're being perfectionist. You're changing this 10 times. You're not focusing on revenue generating activities, you're not focusing on what matters.

And they could be right about that. You could be avoiding something, you could be focusing time on the wrong thing. But sometimes iterating is how we build mastery. And everybody does it in their own way. And I have a good sense at this point in my journey to know when I'm iterating because I am in creative expression mode or what I'm iterating because I'm in perfectionistic mode or what I'm iterating and I'm avoiding.

And so one of the things we do on this podcast is we throw out the blanket labels. Because the blanket labels are not helpful, and they make you second guess yourself more than you would if you just did the damn thing. Okay?

, And , to me. Every business project starts out as a creative expression. And the more we allow it to be what it wants to be before we force it to be something else, , I think the better off we are.
