0:00.0 | What's up y'all, Sean here. I'm going to be doing the question of the week where we |
0:16.6 | give you just the tips on what you need to be more successful entrepreneurs. So it's |
0:21.6 | just me alone because I'm in Hawaii right now and Sam's going to be traveling to and |
0:27.6 | I'm in a hallway of my hotels and hopefully nobody walks out here while I'm doing this. Otherwise |
0:32.3 | I might get all noisy. But let's go ahead and listen to the question and then I'll answer. |
0:37.1 | All right, here it goes. Hey, it's Rupee from the UK Obsessed with the My First Million |
0:42.1 | Podcast. So my question is, I'm a non-technical founder for an app that Ox is kitchen is sort |

1:47.1 | said your first hire is a PM. That's not usually the case. So I got a little bit of a red flag |
