Building a Multimillion Dollar Business…By Yourself

Episode 13: Today, hosts Alex Lieberman (@businessbarista), Sophia Amoruso (@sophiaamoruso), and Jesse Pujji (@jspujji) are talking solo-preneurship—aka running a business of one. What are the pros and cons of being a solo-preneur? And what types of businesses is solo-preneurship best suited for? Then, the team gets radically honest about how they spend their time each week—from self-care to deep work, Jesse, Alex, and Sophia break down how many hours per week they dedicate to work and play, and how they organize their schedules. 

And finally, the team wraps the last episode of the year with a brainstorm of how we can improve on the show. We’d love to hear your feedback too! Email us at thecrazyones@morningbrew.com.
