Are you ready to launch your side hustle? In this Engineering Our Future episode, Nicolai and I begin a series on entrepreneurship, sharing two decades of insights from our diverse ventures—including podcasts, coaching businesses, engineering firms, and coffee sales. We're engineers like you, not business consultants, offering practical steps to start small, overcome analysis paralysis, and build a business that enhances both your passions and career.
We explore how to start with a core concept and your unique value proposition, test it through LinkedIn engagement, and create a simple Notion landing page to validate your idea. Nicolai reveals how he transformed Engineering YOU from one-on-one coaching into comprehensive courses, while I discuss developing podcast partnerships and my recent coffee importing venture. Our essential advice: launch with minimal resources, adapt based on feedback, and maintain your enthusiasm throughout the journey.
