Brian, let's talk about the stuff you don't want to think about but absolutely need to before real money starts flowing. Legal and compliance. You are building a business that gives people financial guidance — not technically financial advice, but close enough that you need to be careful. Your terms of service need to be clear: Eat My Money is for educational and entertainment purposes. It is not financial advice. The training scenarios use AI-generated characters, not real people. You are not liable for decisions someone makes at a dealership based on practicing with your tool. Get a simple terms of service page up on eatmymoney.com before you take a single dollar. You can use Claude to draft it but have a real human — maybe Rafael's wife can point you to someone — review it. Privacy policy too. You're collecting emails, phone numbers, session transcripts, payment info. CCPA applies to you because you're in California. You need to tell people what you collect, why, and how to delete it. This isn't optional. It's state law. Also think about the content you're ingesting. You're pulling YouTube transcripts and extracting tactics from them. Fair use likely covers this since you're transforming the content into a completely different product — a training simulator, not a republished video. But if a creator asks you to stop using their content, respect that immediately. Build a takedown process now before you need one. Stripe requires you to have a clear refund policy. Keep it simple: not happy within 7 days, full refund, no questions. One more thing — your business entity. Are you running this as a sole proprietor or through an LLC? An LLC costs maybe a hundred bucks to set up in California and separates your personal assets from the business. Do it this week. Same phone call energy as the family law attorney. Boring stuff. Do it anyway.
