AI is replacing entry-level jobs—and most grads are stuck in resume purgatory. In this episode, David and Chris break down why your early 20s are the best time to start a business, even if you have no money, no idea, and no experience. This isn’t a hype fest—it’s a practical playbook for launching fast, learning fast, and building something real.
