Summary
http://www.tropicalmba.com/curiosity/ Today's show is the product of a dream that Dan and Ian both had, which inspired them to follow up with an old friend.
The topic is a rather simple one. What if you could take your curiosity and energy about a topic and turn it into a serious business?
In pursuing the answer, they both decided it was a good time to check in with their former business partner Jesse Lawler, who hosts a fantastic podcast called Smart Drug Smarts.
Jesse didn't start the podcast with a PhD in medicine, or anything relevant to the medicinal field except a genuine desire to explore these issues, and he has had a tremendous amount of success in doing it.
On this show, Jesse shares how was able to turn something that he was passionate about into a full-time business that generates real revenue. We hope this episode will inspire those of you who are passionate and curious to find a way to tell your own story.

| 1:06.7 | that's the first thing they do. You're like five years in and you haven't done this yet. So I'm kind impressed by that. I'm making gestures. I'm gesturing like crazy right now. You don't even, it's pretty unbelievable. You're going to have like a signature pencil or something that you hold? I take notes occasionally on the things that excite me about what you're saying.
