The challenges of being in (the wrong) business
Don't optimize for the horse you're riding if you're riding the wrong horse
Justin is joined by podcast producer Chris Enns to talk about:
- How do you get Alexis Ohanian (cofounder of Reddit, married to Serena Williams) as a client?
- Getting out of the wrong business, into something better.
- Why you should get out of your comfort zone (and your town!)
- "We're all running the same race; how come that person is so far ahead of me?"
