Hello, this is the English we speak.
With me, Fei Fei, and hello, it's me, Rob.
Rob, what are you doing?
Oh, just preparing some biscuits for my new business.
Are you planning to sell biscuits?
Well, not any old biscuits.
Fei Fei Rob's Amazing Crunch and Crumble biscuits.
This is my new career.
You're going to need some help if you want to launch a new biscuit business.
Hmm, yeah, you're right.
Maybe you could help me put them in boxes.
No, Rob, you need more help than that.
You need crowdsourcing.
Oh, right.
Is that some kind of magic ingredient to put in the biscuits?
No.
Crowdsourcing is when you ask groups of people for their ideas and opinions to help you develop your business idea.
Note that crowdfunding is just when large numbers of people donate small amounts of money to help someone start a business.
