Notes from Chris

Episode 1154
This listener wants to start a “bring-your-own-hygeine” kit for public restrooms. How would she get started, and is crowdfunding a good option for this project?
"I would love to start something. It would be basically a little toiletry bag that you would take with you, especially going into public restrooms. I ran into this problem many times where there was either no toilet paper or there was no soap, no paper towels, no toilet seat covers. So I wanted to start up a side hustle basically with that in mind.

But the two main issues that I'm running into are not knowing where to source product to get this started. And the number two funding right now, I don't have the money to actually start this up. So I didn't know if by crowdfunding would that be an option for me to actually get this started. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks so much."
