Ep. 22 Solving the Problem of Stolen Crypto (w/ Will Lawson)

Hello everyone! On this episode of Proof of Concept, we had Will Lawson. Will is the co-founder of Resolv, a startup helping crypto businesses recover their stolen assets. Hear about how Will himself got thousands stolen in crypto and how Resolv was initially just an idea in his TE250 class, and has since gained support from investors. Outside of Resolv, Will's top priority is being the “best at balance.” With a 4.0 gpa, 315 bench, and a passion-igniting startup, he is definitely living true to this claim. This one was a great time to record, so I hope you all enjoy.

Ep. 21 Scaling a Landscaping Business to 250k/Year (w/ Aidan Murphy)

Hello everyone, on this episode of Proof of Concept we sat down for a conversation with Aidan Murphy. Aidan got his entrepreneurial kick in his sophomore year of highschool, where he did the classic door-to-door lawn mowing business. After making 30,000 his senior year of highschool, he partnered in founding Moe Mow’s Landscaping, essentially an uber for lawn care. This year they are estimated to do right around a quarter million in revenue, but it was a slow grind to get to this point. We also explored how Aidan became the man he is today, how through this grind he went from cocky to humble, and what virtues he is currently striving for. I hope you all enjoy.
