Boom. Shake the room, Fire Nation, JLD here, and welcome to Entrepreneurs on Fire, brought to you by High Level, the all-in-one sales and marketing platform. And today we'll be breaking down how to start a lucrative business with no ideas, money, or experience. To drop these vibe bonds, I brought Dane Maxwell into EO Fire Studios. Dane is a founder and CEO of Paperless Pipeline, a 17 year bootstrap SaaS company and creator of the foundation, where he's mentored over 2,000 founders to start businesses from nothing. And today we talk about how you don't need an idea, getting paid before you build. Start from nothing, what that advantage is, and oh so much more. And a big thank you for sponsoring today's episode goes to Dane and our sponsors. The foundation has coached over 2,000 students to find painful problems and turned them into software businesses. Their 12 week cohort takes you from no idea or software experience to finding a real problem and pre-selling the solution. No idea, no coding, no technical co-founder. The next cohort launches January 2027. Join the wait list at
