Sarah also shares her the lessons she learned from studying Mark Zuckerberg and her advice for networking and storytelling Episode Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 01:34 Startup Idea 1: Pre-MBA Entrepreneurship Program for Tween Girls 23:40 Networking and Storytelling as Key Skills 31:00 Lessons Learned from Mark Zuckerberg 36:20 Startup Idea 2: AI-Powered Author Coaching Bots 1) Startup Idea 1: Pre-MBA Entrepreneurship Program for Tween Girls Why it's HOT: • Tackles confidence drop in adolescence • Teaches negotiation, self-worth, ideation • Potential to transform female leadership Key features: • Online curriculum for schools • Real-world challenges with local businesses • Focus on digital marketing, not outdated door-to-door sales Monetization strategy: • Sell to schools (public & private) • Sponsorships from big brands (Nike, anyone?) Pro tip: Use storytelling to sell to sponsors. Remember the water charity campaign? ONE story can lead to big numbers. 2) Startup Idea 2: AI-Powered Author Coaching Bots Problem: People buy self-help books but struggle to apply the lessons long-term. Solution: Daily prompts & coaching from an AI avatar of the author! How it works: • Personalized daily check-ins • Reminders to apply book concepts • Voice & look of the actual author Potential authors to target: • James Clear (Atomic Habits) • Adam Grant • Brené Brown Business model: • Partner with publishers • Drive book pre-orders (10k = NYT Bestseller!) • Offer exclusive access to early adopters 3) Zuckerberg Insight 👀 What made young Zuck unique? EXTREME HUMILITY + self-awareness. "He knows when he doesn't know something, and he doesn't just go in to learn it. He gives himself... a position of extreme humility." - Sarah Lacy 4) Key takeaway: NETWORK + STORYTELLING = Startup success Remember: It's not just WHO you know, but HOW you pitch your idea!
