3 Years. Still Broke. Here's Why.

from Freelance to Founder · host Millo

Ethan has been hustling for three years straight, doing everything the internet gurus told him to do—and his business is still just "meh." He can't afford to hire help, and he's starting to wonder if he's destined to stay a burned-out freelancer forever. Preston and Steven Puri, a former film studio executive who's raised over $21 million in venture capital, break down why most online advice is worthless, how to tell if you're solving a painful enough problem, and where to actually find mentors who've done the thing instead of just talked about it.
