The Many Hats of an Entrepreneur
We're back with a new series of interviews, and this episode introduces the theme: the many hats of an entrepreneur.
Our framework is the "five parts of every business" proposed by Josh Kaufman in "The Personal MBA": value creation, marketing, sales, value delivery, and finance.
What are each of these things? What does it look like to perform all of them as the solo entrepreneur? What does it look like to hire out certain functions to fractional specialists? What do each of those things look like in Steve and Tyler's businesses right now?
In the next episode, we'll start the first of the interviews in the series.
