Summary
Ben Jacobs worked at successful tech start-ups: Jet.com, Bird Scooters, and Salted. He has run a successful eCommerce drinking game side-hustle biz. He left his full-time job to build new retail/eComm venture.
Top 3 Value Bombs:
1. Get out there and do it.
2. It takes years, a lot of mistakes and a lot of time. Things don't happen at the speed you wanted to. Having an awesome co-founder, a buddy that you can stick through laughter and horrible times, it makes it all worth it at the end.
3. Life is a constant battle between what's good for you now and what's good for you down the road.
