JT and Jeff discuss a few skills you need to possess and a few questions you need to ask yourself, at a high level, before launching a Kickstarter project. 

 

JT has run multiple successful Kickstarter projects. Jeff talks to Kickstarter project creators on a weekly basis and has consulted on several successful Kickstarter projects. The hope is that this episode will assist you, one way or the other, in making a decision about if Kickstarter is a proper fit for you.
