  • 16:20 – Why are you starting a business in the first place? What's driving you?
  • 23:41 – There's a company called Tighten that gives their employees mental-health days.
  • 26:00 – What is the most efficient way for you to improve your life?
  • 27:00 – Sometimes folks try to make a part-time business into a full-time business.
