James Dooley and Craig Campbell discuss the best questions to ask entrepreneurs at conferences, networking events and business meetups. The conversation explains why asking better questions creates better opportunities because entrepreneurs respond to people who understand value, risk, leverage and what they bring to the table. James Dooley shares the red car theory to explain how business owners can train themselves to spot opportunities they previously missed. Craig Campbell explains why basic questions like “what niche should I go into?” are weak, and why stronger questions should focus on partnerships, monetisation, skills, opportunity spotting and risk appetite. They also discuss entrepreneur versus intrapreneur thinking, AI growth partnerships, business automation, marketing spend and how networking can create new ventures.
