Podcast 34:02 | Download | Spotify| Stitcher | iTunes
Is it possible to bootstrap a high-level business if you’re broke? Listen to Dan & Ian’s take on what kinds of businesses are best to start when you’re starting with basically nothing.
Also, what the hell does a visionary do? Dan suggests that the best visionaries have integrator tendencies.
They’ll consider how Kevin Kelly’s “100 True Fans” can lead to sustainable revenue through a concept called “The Death of the Follower”.
Lastly, Dan pitches a business idea that requires zero startup cost, 3 days a week of effort, and could easily net you $250K.
