3. What are some of the challenges facing a start-up like OneShot? How does OneShot use giving to connect its philanthropic and business elements? How does this connection make OneShot’s story resonate?
4. How was Tyler resourceful without resources in creating OneShot? In what ways is being a college student an advantage when starting a new project or business? What free resources are available to students?
5. The first step is often the hardest to take because it involves moving into unfamiliar territory. But the truth is that the challenges that occur later in an endeavor are often more difficult to overcome, but they don’t feel nearly as hard. Why is this?
1. Is ignorance bliss? Think about a big project, school assignment, or hobby that you’ve worked on in the past and the challenges that you faced along the way. Would knowing about those problems ahead of time have affected your decision to undertake the project? Would you have been scared off? Was it better not to know about them?
2. It’s good to have friends. Think about all of the people in your life—your friends, family, and members of your community. As you’re thinking about starting something that matters, who are five people who you could reach out to for advice? How could each of these people help you?
3. Carpe diem. Now that you’ve finished Start Something That Matters, how will you seize the day? Are you interested in starting a business, nonprofit, or just making a big change in your life? How will you get your project off the ground?
