➿We are keeping along the central idea of your idea being validated but now you’ll ‘Go to Market’ with a potential product or marketing strategy to get users. 

⏳If your product has launched already then listen up to how Alou would go about building a product roadmap to iteratively launch your new product to the world in different stages. Alou spoke about your Product Vision and where you want it to be ultimately in the long term. 

Ron threw in some caveats on that product vision theory though and how if the usage of your product is not what you intended then how to either adapt or emphasize the actual usage to the users. 

We thought it’d be best to let the user decide how it’ll solve their problem because it might solve another issue we didn’t predict. 

Listen in for more on how Ron might utilize his marketing skills at the validation of the product launch / product discovery phase. 

What would be your approach in this phase of the process? Let us know in the comment section 👇🏽

We began speaking about the ways in which we ‘Validate’ our burning 🔥 ideas. Ideas that we think have merits in our mind but need some real life proof that people would want this.

Most entrepreneurs would go through similar stages that we spoke on in this episode but obviously experiences vary when you create a product or service.

Before beginning that though we thought it would be important to emphasize why entrepreneurship may not be cut out for everyone.

It is ok to want to be Financially 💸free. If that is what you seek out of our podcast then it can be great to come and see from an amateur way how to build a business.

We went into a hierarchical way in which both me and alou in our respective skillset, Marketing and Engineering (Product / Design), would go about validating our burning ideas. Since we have each other to rely on with different perspectives, the work flow could be stream lined much more efficiently.

If you don’t have a co-founder or partner though then 🎧 listen up because we gave our take on what we would do as a solopreneur within our respective skillset.

Wrapping up 🎁the mindset series with figures who inspired us or had said something inspiring. We thought it would be best to share it here on Amateur builders. Why do we think what they had to say about mindset was impactful to us and could be for our listeners. 

We also had 5 take-aways we want to leave with yall to remind you about having 🧠a mindset. I don't think I finished my list lol. 

We both said:

Another episode for the new season down the hatch. We continue with our mindset series on how to best establish your mindset going into entrepreneurship. You have to be stable mentally to prepare for this journey so this series takes you into our mental journey. Our discussion on mindset in this episode can be thought of as transitioning from thinking like a worker to thinking like an owner. 

Take pride in your inspirations, whether it's someone who inspires you or a higher purpose you feel compelled to pursue. You take ownership of what inspires you and what to do about that. 

Come listen to us speak about these topics and more with who inspires us, what sort of tricks we do to build our creative juices, where we go for inspiration, and how we get inspired.

🤔We were having a discussion about where we can take Amateur builders before we started this episode and have some interesting ways in which it can get engaging. It’ll definitely change the audience's interactivity. Stay tuned as we crank that out!

In other words though, Bob Ponce, our guest for today. We will formally have an episode with Bob once we schedule time for him to sit down and officially run through who he is, how he started, what he's up to, etc.

Today we all just talk with no direction per say on where it should go. We ran through the latest news and went on tangents 😅. I think it’s a good episode to tune into and hear from an OG 💯

The one and only Hans Marshalleck aka ‘ideam0n’ have appeared on our podcast offering that great Energy, Enthusiasm, and Informative insight into Entrepreneurship, Business, and his own insight on recent news happening in Tech.

Tune in to hear more about Hans but a quick snapshot:

Founder of BNDWGN

Create and sell trips in your TikTok, Reels and Snapchat.

Former Apple genius Technician 💻

Hardware technician fixing issues with Macs

Helped dozens of Celebs in the Soho store

We discussed the latest news on Nvidia's latest AI chips, WeWork Bankruptcy, and Netflix foray into gaming. Hans extrapolated on these news in detailed so listen instead of reading this 😅lol.

One insight he gave in regards to WeWork looming bankruptcy is:

“We don't have the cult of personality attached to what we are doing…business models come first WeWork is simply taking regular hotels where your renting the room out but they lied and said they have a technology business” #Facts 💯

The Pitch! 🗣️

So me and Alou went to this Pitch Competition in Brooklyn called Make it in Brooklyn where the theme was “AI for Good”. We got to pitch InterviewMaster to a panel of judges that works within the Tech Industry. Although it was bit nerve wracking in the beginning we still pushed through 💪to the end. #Makeitinbk

We felt honored being one of the 5 finalist out of 40 potential startups that applied to be in the competition, one step in the right direction to our entrepreneurship journey.

It was a learning experience for both of us as we got to feel how it will be pitching our ideas to the mass. In the podcast we expressed some of our thoughts on how it went so tune in to find out a bit more. 

We actually had to re-record cause the first video only recorded 16 seconds and we spoke like 35 minutes lol 😅. I think now we know we need a professional camera! 

News of the Week:

Scientist discovered a new species of the nematodes that was frozen for over 40,000 plus years and revived them. That is mind boggling 🤯 to us, we left the article in the show sources so y’all can check that out!
