About this listen

In this premiere episode of Roadmap to Nowhere, Chris and Gustavo do what any reasonable people would do when faced with a podcast mic and no adult supervision: they start a company on air.

The startup? Clothes Loop—a noble (and slightly chaotic) attempt to rescue abandoned outfits from closet purgatory and give them a second shot at life. Using AI tools, market data, and way too much optimism, they prototype a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) live during the episode.

They explore the booming world of secondhand fashion, question their own business model in real-time, and prove that yes—you can build a startup in a single podcast episode (but should you? remains TBD).


Highlights include:

  • AI doing the heavy lifting while Chris and Gustavo take credit

  • Naming a startup in under 3 minutes (without regrets… mostly)

  • The joys and tears of live prototyping

  • Real-time UX feedback that hits harder than expected

  • Solid startup advice accidentally mixed with sarcasm


Whether you’re a founder, fashion lover, AI enthusiast, or just here for the chaos, this episode kicks off a startup journey that’s as insightful as it is unhinged.
