In the extended cut of our most recent interview with Adam Schultz and Brantley Boyett, Michael delves into what a “Fake Pitch” event is and why it is an important outlet for startups and entrepreneurs.

The crew talks about the art of the pitch, what makes a bad pitch, and what makes a good pitch. Toward the end of the interview, Adam and Brantley give their takes on what makes a successful startup and how to know that your big idea is worth risking it all for.
