Episode notes

This week, Jarrett ponders the types of things that keep you from ever making your first product. The entrepreneur in this episode was initially nervous to email a bunch of chefs. He hired someone off a Fiverr to find 150 chef emails and told them to email the group for him. After 10 calls with chefs, which led to five orders for food, he had to figure out how to get it done himself.

Today, we'll talk through why you didn't get a product live last weekend despite an episode that walked you through a step-by-step process to do it. Last week, we ignored the emotional stuff. The inertia and discomfort that keep people from doing something new. Today, we tackle it. We give you a framework to lean into discomfort and answer the questions that nag at you and hold you back from putting stuff live.
