THE OVERVIEW
This challenge combines confidence-building with real-world feedback. Approach someone in a public place (e.g., a park, coffee shop, or coworking space) and deliver a 30-second pitch about your idea. Focus on being clear and enthusiastic, and end with, “If you think this idea is worth supporting, would you give me $1?” Whether they say yes or no, take note of their reactions and any feedback they provide. This exercise helps you practice pitching and asking for value upfront.
