- 01
Challenge
We give an ordinary person $100, one simple business idea, and a seven-day deadline.

Struggle
The pitches, missed sales, pivots, and first small wins all make the cut. No script. No shortcuts.

Result
On day seven, we count the money and share what happened—whether they hit $1,000 or not.
