Adrien--Reaching for the prize
In this episode, we interviewed Adrien about his claw-machine business and learned about how he started it after working hard and saving up $20,000. We discussed how he operated his business, from its creation until he sold it, and his plans for another claw-machine business in the future. We also learned about how much hard work is really put into starting a business, and how, as an entrepreneur, you're in charge of making sure all the odds and ends are covered. Adrien shared insights about motivation, fear of failure, and advice for future entrepreneurs. If you are a young person thinking of starting a business, tune in to become inspired!
