A short YouTube clip by Codie Sanchez offering practical advice on how to rapidly acquire domain knowledge by finding and consulting people who already know the business. She recommends leveraging personal networks, in-person outreach (knocking on doors), online communities (Reddit), and paying for short expert consultations to learn unfamiliar industries (example: laundromats, electricians). The clip stresses that getting information is easy today and that fear of not knowing is often irrational.

Can you figure out how to get to the person that can get you answers? So for instance I didn't know anything about laundromats but I knew a guy who knew laundromats. I'm more old school. Like I would go knock on doors and I would shake business owners hands but you could also go to Reddit platforms with a hundred thousand electricians and so if you wanted to buy an H vac company I would go on there and I would try to find electricians in my local area and I would ask them questions and I would pay them for an hour consult to figure out how to run this business. I think we forget in this day and age how easy it is to to get the information that we want. We listen to the fear of the fact that we don't know what we're doing and I actually think that's irrational. It's really easy for somebody to tell you why things won't work. It's actually quite hard to convince somebody that they're capable of doing something.
