Description

Considering a pivot to an online business but not sure where to start? A listener wrote in with the same dilemma, and we’re giving our best tips in this week’s episode of the pod.



We also discuss a listener who exited for multi-7 figures, a new offer we’re working on for business owners, key learnings from Vercel’s journey to a $9B valuation, and some community news from Dynamite Circle.
