Finding Brotherly Love

From Knocking Off H&M to Bison Fiber Socks: Our Boldest MVP Tests

Brian Linton Season 1 Episode 13

"So many people exist for their entire life in this inaction state. They wait years, even decades, to take the first step. But you blink—and 10 years are gone." — Mike

In this episode of Finding Brotherly Love, Mike and Brian dig into one of the biggest challenges in entrepreneurship—taking action before everything feels “ready.” They discuss how the MVP (minimum viable product) mindset has shaped their businesses, from testing new products to building a glamping franchise. They also reflect on why so many people get stuck in analysis paralysis, letting years slip by without chasing their dreams. If you've ever hesitated to start something because you felt like you weren’t ready, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why perfection is the enemy of progress in business
  • How launching an idea before it’s fully “baked” can actually lead to better results
  • The biggest differences between bootstrapped businesses and investor-funded startups
  • Why taking more shots on goal—fast—can be the key to success
  • How real entrepreneurs overcome fear, failure, and hesitation
