This week I started coding my startup project. I caught up with old friends to discuss my ideas, as well as met new people who could inspire and help me down the line. I document my journey building startups in public hoping to inspire and motivate someone like myself.

This is great Jason. I have a suggestion. Build your AI chatbot using bubble, integrating it with various API's. Get it out in the market, people can try it out and you can keep getting feedback to make it better along the way. In this mean time, you can keep learning coding. Than perfection, get an MVP on the market first and correct it along the way. Hope you succeed, cheers bro!

Wow thanks for the thoughtful comments! I've actually been looking into bubble too and its really interesting. Everything you said makes a lot of sense and I will definitely take them onboard!

Best of luck to your journey! Can I ask where your leather jacket is from? Thanks!

@Jason_lai 2 ай бұрын

Thanks! Jacket is from this Japanese brand 'Niko And' (www.nikoand.jp/). Can't find the specific jacket online but I bought this one in Tokyo lol

Great video! I’m also looking to start a startup with my own idea (much simpler than a chatbot but viable I think) and would love to connect as I embark on this journey. Instant sub btw!

Just an FYI for everyone, consulting is barely high paying in the UK particularly at the big 4 - they are known for not paying well with long hours. I would not call it high paying.

@Jason_lai 2 ай бұрын

I was in strategy consulting! Not management consulting :)

@Symplastmail 2 ай бұрын

@@Jason_lai it still doesn’t pay a lot in the UK. So to say high paying is very misleading. UK pay is known to not be great…

Hey Jason , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Best Quality Editing in your videos which visually appeal to audience and would increase average view duration and will also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will overall help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Pls let me know what do you think ?
