Episode 5: A Phone Call With a USC Student For His Entrepreneur Interview Class Project

The Dropout Degree with Josh King Madrid

I decided to take a look inside my crowded Instagram inbox and this following DM caught my attention so I had to put this out for you guys. It read: "Hey Josh, I'm in an entrepreneurship class at the university of Southern California and we have a project in which we have to interview an entrepreneur. I would love to meet with you briefly or have a skype call with you and share your skills and ventures with my class. My class meets tomorrow at 6 pm, so would it be possible to schedule something within the next 24 hours? I apologize for the incredibly short notice. I had another entrepreneur lined up to interview last night But he unfortunately bailed out. Thanks for your time, Nikolai @nik.sys" Here are some of the questions he asked me about: What exactly was your first business venture and what obstacles did you encounter in the early stages? How did you overcome these obstacles? Did you have any major competitors? If so, how did you plan to differentiate your product? How did you deal with risk prior to start-up?
