A YouTube video (March 24, 2023) by Mike Andes titled 'Mowing Lawns & HOMELESS! (TROUBLE in Paradise)'. The clip is from the start of a business boot camp (day one) and records a candid group discussion where participants describe financial strain (one says they'll 'sleep in the back of the wagon'), relationship stress over money and lifestyle expectations, and business challenges. Mike Andes frames the theme by noting business failure rates and saying the boot camp aims to help.
