Successful entrepreneur and CEO, Jay Adelson demystifies the start-up process by providing advice, tips, and answering questions. In this episode, Jay talks about what an entrepreneur should do about having an idea or being inspired by something outside of their core competency or skill-set.

Jay's Chalkboard Notes:
- Having passions outside of core competencies is healthy and normal
- Should you focus on learning or hiring expertise?
- The exception to the rule is when thinking outside the box provides a competitive advantage
- Figure out who you need to get a minimum product and hire them first
