Not having a written business plan and failing to consult professionals before choosing a business structure, which leads to avoidable legal and tax consequences.
Monday Morning Coffee with Van Carlson
Q: Before we get into what you do specifically, I have to ask: are you from a family of entrepreneurs and where does that spirit come from?

Monday Morning Coffee with Carl Fudge
Q: Could you elaborate on how you approach storytelling similar to McKinsey's logic trees but applied to pitches and branding?
He describes a process where storytelling is treated as a design problem: identify audience needs, craft a through line, test with practice partners, and ensure the narrative is both emotionally engaging and financially plausible, not just aesthetically pleasing.
Monday Morning Coffee with Carl Fudge
Q: What does it mean that McKinsey emphasizes a high standard of excellence and problem-solving in a very structured way?
