If you’re waiting until you “know everything” before you start, you’re already stuck. This episode takes you on an epic founder journey: What to build first and what to learn later.

📌What’s Covered:

• Why “get feedback early” can actually kill great ideas 
• The scrappy prototype path that turns a concept into something buyers understand.
• The part nobody glamorizes: what happens when manufacturers keep saying “NO."
• A contrarian go-to-market lesson: why major retailers are often the worst place to start
• The real growth unlock most founders underestimate: why one trade show decision can change your entire trajectory
