In the premiere episode of Build Different, hosts David and Sam Weiss dive into the realities of building a business in the AI era. From David’s beard-growing challenge inspired by Little House on the Prairie to Sam’s lessons learned from launching a web tool that didn’t take off, they explore why execution matters more than ideas. With practical insights on using AI as a thought partner, the importance of market validation, and the power of audience building, this episode offers real talk for parents and entrepreneurs striving to create something meaningful without following society’s script.
