    Has Opinions 13: How do you choose what to project to work on?

    Today Chris and Daniel talk about the process of choosing which product idea to work on next.

    When choosing an idea to work on for a side hustle what is the best way to choose an idea?

    Daniel saw this tweet by Justin Sainton and responded with his answer:

    Go with whichever sounds more fun and that you can get fast traction
    on. Get something in front of people with money fast.

    In the podcast Chris and Daniel talk about how they keep track of ideas, and how they choose the next idea that will get worked on.

    Daniel just read Pieter Levels' book Make that has a section describing how Pieter chooses ideas to work on.

    Daniel started streaming on Twitch for #buildszn and found this OBS tutorial very helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2HzbY8E4yQ

    Has Opinions 12: Building Houses and Businesses. #BUILDSZN is now!

    Today Chris and Daniel talk about more home stuff. Chris is getting some remodeling done and Daniel is building a house.

    Chris shares a humorous story about his time living in an apartment.

    After discussing all of these home expenses we ask "How do we pay for this stuff?"

    Is the answer "build an app"? Or maybe start a business outside of digital like a landscaping business? We discuss the thought process of choosing ideas to pursue and the process of executing on those ideas.

    • What do you do with business ideas you have?
    • Have you considered buying an existing business?
    • Have you thought about copying another business idea

    Daniel announces #BUILDSZN which is a short and focused time of learning and building a saas. This is like a self-funded, self-directed startup incubator where success is defined by just doing it.

    Chris updates on mysqlbackups.tv. He's about 20 videos in to building his info product. He's now working with a video editor and setting up a drip email campaign for new student courses.

    We finish the episode talking about Jon and Justin's Build your Saas podcast. Jon, Daniel is sorry he called you "Jeff".

    Has Opinions 8: College Degree vs Coding Bootcamp

    Today Chris and Daniel talk about building a closet recording studio, a do nothing weekend, and an example of a Computer Science Degree vs a coding bootcamp.

    This week the struggle is real for Chris trying to build a studio in a closet to have a quiet place to record. Mics, tables, and legs, oh my!

    Daniel spent the past weekend summoning the gig economy to bring him stuff so he could do absolutely nothing all weekend.

    We spend the episode discussing a blog post from a local bootcamp written by a person who got a 4 year degree majoring in computer science, couldn't get a job after graduation, and then went through the bootcamp and got a job.

    Why did a degree that costs upwards of $200,000 not provide enough skills for a graduate to get a job?

    Was a coding bootcamp that costs $22,500 the only viable option to get hired in the tech industry?

    Is this a roadmap to success or a cautionary tale?

    Is there more to this story? (probably!)

    We have opinions!
