Summary

We all have ideas for businesses, but few are qualified to build and run any company they can dream up. In order to set a new company, and yourself, up for ultimate success, you need to assess your prior experience, knowledge, and skills to ensure they map to the type of company you plan to launch. Failure to do so can be a huge mistake, and push you and the business quickly into perilous territory.

We also have a couple of special guests on this episode. First, Andrew Glazier of Defy Ventures joins us to talk about their partnership with the Do-Or-Dier Visionary Foundation. Defy educates formerly incarcerated people to think with an entrepreneurial mindset and become the CEO of their own life.

And then Rob speaks to the winner of the DODF See it. Believe it. Do it. Challenge, Carol Madonia. Carol started her idea for a meatball empire in a jail cell, and now has won $10,000 to help accelerate her entrepreneurial journey. She has an amazing story and an incredible spirit, hoping to use her business to help other formerly incarcerated individuals get their lives back on the right track.

0:00.0	Welcome to Build with Rob. It is Rob Deirdek. Our episode today is a very heartfelt episode. It's all about our do or dire visionary foundation and our partnership with the Five Ventures. We partnered with them with their program and we have the CEO of the Five Ventures on
0:23.7	the show today that's going to explain sort of their work that they do with previously incarcerated
0:29.9	to teach them how to be the CEOs of their new lives and run them through entrepreneur
0:34.9	boot camps to give them a chance to learn the skills necessary to build their own companies.
0:42.0	And what we did with DefyVentures is then we did a See It, Believe It, Do It Challenge, where we donated 20,000 to Defy for their program and then an additional 20,000 to defy for prize, non-deluded capital as prize
0:59.0	for graduates from their boot camp program.
1:03.4	And, yeah, man, amazing.
1:05.4	Amazing.

1:21.4	And she has an compelling and incredible story. This is a woman that spent many years addicted to drugs in and out of prison really was

1:39.6	system of basically trying to get the incarcerated, think about becoming entrepreneurs
1:45.6	and then ultimately taking that path, turning her life around, and then getting into the Defy
1:50.6	program, and really learning all aspects of business to develop this new business that she
1:58.3	created, that meatball collective.
2:01.5	And I think what you'll find incredibly fascinating about this is this is seemingly

2:14.7	into being able to create a viable, potentially thriving business through a program like this without any entrepreneurial experience.
2:25.3	And it really makes me think about anyone that ever chooses to build a business.
2:31.9	Think about that business through the lens of how capable you are of actually
