After decades of serious work I want to be a soap maker. Obviously I will have to work but if I can find part time work, it will give me time to get my soap business running. Most people give up due to the lack of profit the first ten years so I think I could have something going if I keep up with it for the next 5 years. I've done this before with my home made perfumes and ended up replacing one week of income, not enough but AI is here and it's not going away.

What books are you most excited to teach this year?

I do spend a fair amount of time brainstorming. I don’t want to continue working here forever, but I’m struggling to generate that “this is it” idea to build a company for. Any advice?
