    #6 - Caleb Ford - Improving Collegiate Transferring, Entrepreneurship, Web 3, and Stock Market Silliness

    The following is a conversation with my friend, Caleb Ford. This is Caleb's second time on the podcast. This is also the first episode of my podcast recorded on my new setup at my place. IT SOUNDS GREAT. Caleb and I discuss his business he started with his friends, how to start a business and why entrepreneurship is enjoyable for both of us, and some of our favorite business ideas. We also learn about Web 3 together by googling it because neither of us could explain it. Blockchain is cool. Crypto is weird. Why doesn't apple have an investment option of their own? All of this and more, in today's episode.
