On this episode we discuss how to invest as an angle investor, how to raise money and when to raise money for your business, how to start a business, and how to figure out if you are an entrepreneur.
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS WITH
( 5:57 ): Michael asks, “How would you describe yourself now? You’re now an entrepreneur, an angel investor. When you go out and you’re giving the boilerplate, how do you describe yourself to people?”
( 7:39 ): Lauryn asks, “Is there an epiphany that you had when you were a child that you can go back to and pinpoint that you had an epiphany that sort of stuff is of what you’re doing?”
( 8:52 ): Lauryn asks, “So if someone comes to you and they’re like I’m 21 years old and I want to be an angel investor, what do you say?”
( 10:36): Lauryn asks, “Can you give us an example? Like give us an industry that you knew nothing about that you came into and invested in and you just learned a wealth of knowledge?”
( 12:06 ): Michael asks, “For young people that think they’re an entrepreneur, maybe we can get into a little like what the first steps would be?”

( 21:55 ): Lauryn asks, “What do you think makes a really good leader?”
( 22:42 ): Lauryn asks, “We talked a little bit off the mic about your health, and I feel like a lot of men who are working their ass off sometimes can neglect their health. Like I feel like they put all their energy into their business and then the health gets neglected. When did you start to realize that was a problem?”
( 31:04 ): Lauryn says, “I want to talk about your micro struggles, like little tiny struggles that maybe you were dealing with day after day after day.”

(34:16): Michael asks, “If you’re talking to a young person, you’re trying to coach them on how to get a business off the ground, and let’s use the framework that they are an entrepreneur you’re talking to, what are the first few things you tell them?
(35:14): Michael asks, “What do you think young people, or any entrepreneur, focus on in the beginning that’s a waste of time?”
(38:12): Lauryn asks, “What do you look for in a deck and what do you look for in someone when you’re investing in them?”
(39:51): Michael asks, “Okay I have a question, and this is maybe a selfish question. When you’re looking at a deck, or are you looking at the business or you looking more at the person, or are you looking at both?”
(40:38): Lauryn asks, “How many times have you been at dinner, trying to chill, drinking a glass of wine, and someone tries to fucking pitch you?”

(42:26): Lauryn asks, “If someone is listening to this podcast and wants to pitch you or an angel, what’s the most effective way to do it besides the airport? Is it to email? Is it lik, what is a way that’s unique that you’ve seen?”
(47:24): Michael says, “So before we jump off this, what are the boxes that you think need to be checked if you are going to bring on capital?”
(48:26): Lauryn asks, “What if an influencer wants to launch product? Are they supposed to use their own money?”
(54:04): Lauryn says, “Talk a little bit about that before you go, because that’s interesting. You do 5 to 10 minute meetings all day long?”
