Should a parent with young kids try to bootstrap a new startup?
In this episode, Justin speaks with Aaron Francis about being a new parent and trying to bootstrap a startup. Aaron argued the other side of Justin's tweet thread: "Wait until your kids are older to start a company." Aaron is well-positioned to talk about this because he has twins and is also bootstrapping Hammerstone with his co-founder Colleen. The whole conversation is a nuanced take on the topic and full of important insights, especially on:
the risks involved (especially if you're not working a full-time job)
the kind of foundation (mentally, financially, emotionally, relationally) you need to be able to take the risk
