A free YouTube channel of short business advice and street interviews where founders and would-be founders get their ideas questioned and tested in public.
Why I recommend it: Good for the earliest stage, when you have an idea and no idea what to do with it. Treat it as encouragement plus pitch practice, not a business plan.
A long list of low-cost business ideas across services, retail, home-based, and online categories, with what each one takes to launch.
From the site: We put together a list of the best, most profitable small business ideas for entrepreneurs to pursue in 2026.
Why I recommend it: Use this as a prompt list, not a menu. Pick three that match skills you already have and stress-test them with the idea-assessment guide.
Business ideas and teardowns, useful for spotting small, unsexy, profitable business opportunities.
In plain terms: This weekly podcast features hosts who brainstorm business concepts and interview founders about how they make money. You can listen to explore niche business opportunities and get practical ideas for starting your own company.
Why I recommend it: Skip the hype segments; the teardown segments are a free market-research education.
