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.
