This podcast episode features two co-hosts discussing the entrepreneurial journeys of two individuals: Blake Scholl, founder of Boom Supersonic, and Nick Mowbray, founder of Mini Brands. The discussion highlights Scholl's high-agency approach to building a supersonic jet, from securing pre-orders to securing Richard Branson's partnership, despite initial skepticism. The second half focuses on Mowbray's unconventional and highly successful, albeit sometimes ethically questionable, path to building a global toy empire, starting from building a factory in China with limited resources. The hosts analyze the common thread of relentless hustle and unconventional strategies employed by both entrepreneurs, contrasting Scholl's calculated ambition with Mowbray's scrappy, almost reckless approach. A key takeaway is the importance of choosing a personally meaningful venture and the inevitability of plateaus in any entrepreneurial journey.
