Full time college student, full time AGM, and I’m trying to start a hot sauce/jelly business. I have a passion for cooking but don’t have the money for culinary school, so I’m in college for my bachelors in business administration (already have an associates in electrical technology). When you started your business what was the hardest part or your largest struggle and how did you overcome it.

When I started my SaaS company, I was a new father and working full-time. We only had one income because my wife needed to stay with the little one. And we couldn't afford daycare. It was really tough, but we had to work as a team. I would say the hardest part was juggling the job that earned me money and my passion for my business. It often meant I was working two full-time jobs at a time, plus a baby… I don't really miss those days, lol.

Hey guys, so I want to start a "thing" where I am the middle person who connect candidates to the companies for hire. I do not want to provide contracts as I will not provide benefits. I just want to be the middle person. I have a network of people who are looking for some help in navigating what or how. I want to get them from point A to B.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
