0:00.0	Welcome back to another episode of Startups for the Rest of Us. I'm Rob Walling, and today I welcome
0:04.7	Justin Vincent on the show. We talk a bit about how to generate startup ideas, plus look at
0:09.8	eight ideas he brings to the show that you can steal. Justin and I had a great time talking
0:15.1	through these ideas. He had sourced them from a few mastermind friends of his, as well as his own brain. He has a

1:24.3	you start Nugget, Nugget.1, which, you know, we've talked about here on the show before,
