Notes from Chris

Episode 2408
Today we have an interesting question from Dublin. Helen is a chemical engineer by profession and she's got a puzzle-loving mind that's set to create a truly unique side hustle. She's been listening to our show after finding us on a Reddit thread about entrepreneurial ideas, and she's now contemplating an exciting venture.

Helen wants to design and sell escape room experiences, envisioning a market for at-home escape room kits. And she believes her engineering skills would serve her well in this endeavour. However, she's unsure about making the transition from a stable corporate job to this new, unknown territory. Let's dive into how Helen can make this shift and market her innovative product.

I believe there's a huge market for at-home escape room kits, and my engineering skills could come in handy in creating compelling, complex puzzles. But how do I transition from a stable corporate job to this completely new territory? And how do I market such a unique product effectively?"
