What would you build today if you had to start from zero?

I asked 6 founders the same question: with just a laptop, AI, and no funding — what would get you to $10,000 a month in 90 days?

In this podcast they share how they'd build a business today from scratch: what to build, how to choose a niche, marketing advice, and how to get your first paying customer by day 30.

Gary Vee, Amjad Masad (Replit), Young Zhao (Opus Clip), Mati Staniszewski (ElevenLabs), Alex Mashrabov (Higgsfield), and Bill Gurley (investor) on what they'd actually build today.
