Being homeless and reading books and surviving on just one slice of bread and water and trying to really see what is it my role in this chaos, to create an order and to create a service that I can help other people going around the world and how to really transform their lives.

Get myself from that state into what we most people take for granted a normal life which is to have a shower to have the basic amenities.

How can we fast forward this process of starting a business.

That research led him to talk to a lot of people and then bottomed out in two things that the biggest hurdle to business to an entrepreneur is actually starting the business.

keep going forward, but many people get lost in that the trench that first chasm that's out there. That's the problem.

The key concept of agile methodology is that the requirements given to a product developer.

You develop something, a working model or proof of concept and show it to the business owner and then to make changes.

You're going to tweak the model. So don't strive for perfection.

Why either entrepreneur doesn't start business people. Here's a statistic. Supposedly 70% of the US adults want to have their own business.

Formed a little partnership between the two other amazing producers and creatives to create some fun videos.

A crew is important for success.
