Finding Peak with Ryan Hanley · Ann Kaplan Mulholland: Building an Empire with No Excuses (Part 2) · 16 Jan 2026 podcast

If somebody is interested in your product and it's your friend or your neighbor or that isn't the right business, you have to think about the people that you don't know that would be interested in your product.

And so the biggest mistake I see with people I talk to is that they're looking too close to home.

You have to think farther away.

You also don't want to ever have someone else validate your business idea.

So when you start to say out loud or to yourself, well, Jim thought it was a really good idea.

Or I told this to my friend and he thought it was a brilliant idea.

You don't want to have that validation come from somebody else.

You need to have it come from your own head.

not from somebody else validating your business model.

And you need to think through your business model.

So think mass distribution, not your neighborhood, outside your neighborhood, someone you've never met before, your entrepreneurial idea.

And also have one idea, not two or three.

You have one idea and you focus on it.

If your idea is finance, like mine was, or if your idea is

which I think is a brilliant one, was when they started the Uber, when they started, you know, who would ever think taxis would get replaced?

But that idea came from probably somebody getting frustrated trying to find a cab and thinking all these cars are driving around.

And so start to solve problems.

The best ideas, you're solving a problem and you have mass distribution.

Don't have two ideas where you're solving a problem and then you're also going to create a website for people that have that issue.

Your one idea, just to solve the problem, yeah, you'll need a website, but your entrepreneurial venture is not the website.
