If you've ever had a business idea and wondered, okay, now what? This episode of Conejo Valley Visionaries is for you.

Host Cristina Dennstedt sits down with Kristin Bell and Desserin Pereyra, program manager and community manager respectively at Hub 101 in Westlake Village, CA where they support local startup founders.

We discuss the importance of validating an idea early, the hurdles almost every entrepreneur faces, from funding to customer acquisition, the power of community and entrepreneurship, and why mindset can be just as important as strategy.

Kristin and Desserin share practical tools for those of us aspiring to start a business on our own. It's a real conversation about resilience, mindset, and building something sustainable together.
