We are often asked, "how do I start a business" and often times the answer is abstract. Everyone's journey is different and a lot comes with being an entrepreneur that often times we don't think of. Kinsey Grant and Connor Saeli are two entrepreneurs that are blazing a trail in different areas. Kinsey worked under Jim Cramer, was the 5th employee at the Morning Brew, and now has a platform called Learning is Cool. Connor started at Goldman Sachs and now is working to improve the health of many with his hydration company Waterboy. Throughout the pod we talk about what it's like to start a business, the challenges that come with that, and throw in some tidbits on the economy and what's going on with stocks
