Games like SimCity, SimTower, and Transport Tycoon gave me an outlet and fed curiosity before real opportunities presented themselves.

I played SimCity for days, accumulating billions of worthless sim dollars. I started selling auto parts online in high school - it was a video game that made real money, and I did that solo for the next 15 years. Finally found venture-backed startups - professional multiplayer.https://twitter.com/JoshConstine/status/1190725569589104640 …

Where did you store the auto parts, and how did you fulfil orders?!
-
Initially in my dorm room, and then using a third party fulfillment center.

Does solo literally mean you were your only employee? I’m inspired/interested in online small businesses that are built around profit not revenue.
-
Yep, no employees until 2017 - one employee when it was sold in 2018.

When thinking about „adding functionality“, onboardings/learning-curves and how to make waiting less boring, computer games are often a treasure trove of inspiration and best practices!
