His other entrepreneurial endeavors include a chain of hot dog stands, an online liquor store, and a roommate matching startup.

The #1 excuse that wantrepreneurs make for not starting a business is that they don’t have the resources: They don’t have the money, they don’t know how to code, they don’t know the right people, etc.

In this episode, I show you how to start ANY business with less than $100.

I’m going to show you how I would start a tech startup like Uber, a fast-food business like Chipotle, or a clothing company like Patagonia.

From 22 to 26 I was working day jobs. I worked at Intel, then at Facebook, and finally at Mint.

I had some cool experiences, but overall I was mostly unhappy because I wanted to start my own business, sooooo…. I kept getting fired or quitting early.

If I could go back in time I would do things a little differently... I hope this will help give you some clarity on your entrepreneurial journey.
