In this episode I interview Hazel Lim, who has an interesting approach when it comes to building businesses. Hazel runs a personal venture studio. What does that mean? In essence, she uses a system to launch/validate a bunch of ideas for products/businesses rather than focus all of her energy on any single idea (at least until one of those ideas proves to be a smashing success). I had never heard of this approach before, but after speaking with Hazel, I think that it might be the perfect match for many solo builders in the no code space. All of Hazel's links are below. Enjoy the conversation!
