#792 What if you could dramatically increase your odds of success by validating your business idea before you ever launch? In Part 2 of this powerful two-part conversation, host Brien Gearin continues his deep dive with Jason VanDevere, founder of Goal Crazy and author of Dream Driven, shifting from discovering the right business idea to validating it and bringing it to life.
