Wisdom Nuggets
Brand Early, Brand Smart: Sydney made the decision to name her brand HOUSEWORK instead of using her personal name. This set the foundation for building something scalable and community-driven.
Follow the Gut, Not the Crowd: Whether it was choosing to stick with house music or launching during a global crisis, Sydney followed her instincts—and that made all the difference.
Digital is Essential, But Not Everything: The app and livestreams elevated HOUSEWORK, but the brick-and-mortar studio brought a sense of place and physical community that tech alone can’t replace.
True Community Exists Without You: Sydney focuses on helping members build connections with each other, creating a space that lives beyond the founder's presence.
Be Your Brand’s Loudest Advocate: From daily TikToks to jumping on podcasts, Sydney knows that building visibility requires consistent, personal effort from the founder themselves.
