Hey friends, I recently gave a talk at CUHK Business School here in Hong Kong, to a room full of students and professionals who want to start their first business. It started as a fireside chat, but I quickly grabbed the whiteboard and went through all the advice I'd give someone starting today: how to find a business idea, who to sell to, how to use content, and how to make the time while you've got a full-time job or degree. Hope you enjoy xx
