    Why You're Struggling with the Easy Stuff as a Founder

    Today, we talk about why you struggle so much with easy, seemingly straightforward tasks as a founder. You probably assume this is a productivity problem, but it's actually a nervous system problem - you've maxed out your Risk Threshold. We talk about how to navigate that and build a startup while being a human. Also, I'm writing a book!

    An SOP for Testing a Startup Idea (ITS top 1%)

    Today, we'll help you build an SOP for testing startup ideas. We'll use an example from a listener - a startup in the homeschooling space - as a guinea pig. The best way to have a great startup idea this time next year is to test out a bunch of ideas in the interim. This SOP will help you do it, and scale the process.

    Customers Speak Problem, But You’re Speaking Solution (ITS Top 1%)

    Today, we'll talk about why so many entrepreneurs can't effectively explain what they're doing to their customers. The short answer is they speak the wrong language. Customers speak Problem, entrepreneurs speak Solution. It's like two people trying to have a conversation when one only speaks Latin and the other only speaks Dutch. We go through how to start speaking Problem, and show the power of Problem Language through a live idea test - two landing pages for an AI bot to help people get out of debt: one with Solution Language, one with Problem Language.    TackleboxThe Brain Audit 00:00 Tacklebox 00:37 How to Speak Problem 01:21 The Brain Audit 01:55 Farm Stand Problem Language 06:03 The Idea: AI to Get Out of Debt 07:38 Smooth Jazz 08:07 Why You Won’t Use Problem Language 10:31 Signs in NYC 15:00 AI for Debt 17:41 Landing Page Test 19:18 The End: This Is Everywhere - Cold Email Examples

    How to Run Customer Interviews with AI (Part 1)

    Today, we build a machine to help you actually run customer interviews. We’ll use AI to tackle the big blockers—accountability, CRM setup, outreach, transcription, and even how to pick your first customer. You’ll hear the idea Brian is testing with the interview machine, and we’ll walk through exactly how AI can make the process faster, more uncomfortable (in the right way), and a lot more effective. Plus, a bit on creativity and being human.

We'll do it with a little help from a baseball training facility, a corked wine bottle, and an MRI startup.  The Tacklebox Customer Interviews Workshop - Sept.
