Alan Donegan is our guest on this episode and he is one of the co-founders of PopUp Business School which is on a mission to change the way entrepreneurship is taught. They’re getting folks to create their own sustainable startups by not taking on massive amounts of debt. When almost half of new businesses fail within their first 5 years, it’s clear that this is the type of guidance that is needed today- especially given the uncertain times we’re living in. Alan’s motto is “fail fast and fail cheap”, and through trial and error, he has started his own business without ever having taken on any debt. Today we dive into his story as well as how you can start a business with zero dollars!

Thanks for having me on the show Joel and Matt. It was so much fun. I felt like we could talk for hours!
This show came at a right time. I’ve been throwing around the idea of starting a business for awhile and a lot more lately. Thank you for bringing Alan on. I just subscribed to his podcast.
