Welcome back to Start It or Scrap It, the podcast where real startup ideas meet real critique.

In Episode 31, we cover what so many early-stage founders get wrong: trying to protect a business idea before they’ve validated it. From NDAs and trademarks to the scalability of service businesses, this episode is packed with tactical insight.

🎯 You’ll learn:
- When (and when not) to use NDAs
- Whether you should trademark your business idea
- What makes a service business scalable
- Why some business ideas don’t need funding—they need better execution

🔍 We also break down 5 Reddit business posts and explain what worked and what didn’t.
