Text The phrase "to start out," in this podcast, means to begin in a certain way, especially when something changes later: "The company started out by hiring a part-time employee, but now it needs two full-time employees to do the work." The phrase "to start in" means to begin doing something, especially when it will require a lot of effort or time: "The amount of work seems overwhelming, but the sooner we start in, the sooner we'll finish." The phrase "to start over" means to begin doing something again, usually because it didn't work the first time: "She spent all morning baking a cake, but it burned, so now she has to start over."
