    Episode 48: Pitch: Consumer Centric Car Buying App

    I watched this video a long time ago on how to use game theory to buy a car.

    Last year, I tried it again and it worked even better.


    I pitch Nick a way we could MVP and productize this car buying process for consumers.

    Episode 44: Nick's Book is Done, Finishing off Details, Setting Goals for 2019

    Nick's Book is Done and he's actually holding it during this episode. This calls for a celebration!


    But the celebration quickly moves into what is next for the book and where all of this can go in 2019 and beyond.


    Kent is still worried that Able Cells isn't a business and wants $50,000 or so to make it one.


    We set some basic 2019 goals and decide to take Christmas off... but you knew that :)
