I Need Time More Than I Need Money – Business Brain 656

In this episode of Business Brain, Shannon Jean kicks off the discussion by highlighting the importance of experimentation through a simple product called the Brain Press—a tactile fidget toy created by a fellow entrepreneur he follows on X. The segment uses the Brain Press as a springboard to emphasize the entrepreneurial value of trying new things, escaping the daily grind, and executing on small ideas just to see what happens. Shannon celebrates the mindset of building and testing, citing inspiration from others who create and launch products annually as passion projects or side hustles. Dave Hamilton follows with a story about helping a client with a tech issue, which leads to a reflection on valuing time over money. Even when money was tight, Dave always focused on completing jobs efficiently rather than billing for more hours. Both hosts agree that this mindset builds trust with clients and fosters personal efficiency. The conversation ends with a mutual acknowledgment of how future-focused thinking helps them move quickly through tasks, maintain momentum, and ultimately live a “charmed life.” 00:00:00 Business Brain – The Entrepreneurs’ Podcast #656 for Wednesday, June 11th, 2025 June 11th: National German Chocolate Cake Day Brain Press 00:05:28 SPONSOR: Shopify – For anyone to sell anywhere, sign up for a one-dollar-per month trial period at Shopify.com/BusinessBrain and upgrade your selling today! 00:06:54 SPONSOR: NordLayer – NordLayer is network security for modern businesses.
