“I’m not a businessman, I’m a business, man.” These wise words, uttered by the great Shawn Carter, are something all entrepreneurs can aspire to. But how does one actually go about becoming a business, man?

In this episode, we’re going to be answering these questions to find out:

  • How can I prepare for starting my own business over the next few years?
  • What advice would you give your 19-year-old self about college and careers?
  • What do you believe is the key to a successful business plan and a happy life?
  • How can I learn business if I’m not taking a degree in it?
  • What is your secret to learning computer programming languages?
