About this episode
Justin and I break down how to build real wealth starting with just 10K and no pedigree. We walk through starting boring businesses, raising capital with nothing but grit, and scaling through smart delegation and structure. We also get into how I acquired Somewhere.com and why building a media engine isn't just about attention, it's about leverage. If you're serious about business and want to skip the noise, this one's worth your time.
