It’s really, you know, there’s this huge move right now that we’ve seen over the past few years about this hustle and grind mentality that you know if you want to succeed in business, if you want to make it, you got to get up early. And so I thought, “How did he do it?” And then he sent me this book, “The Fun Formula.” This is like the first book where he doesn’t just say, “Here’s how to do this one thing I do.” It’s like, “Here’s how to be me.” I’ve read it dude, cover to cover. And I think I got nowhere because I was just getting started with my interviewing and I didn’t know not to ask someone on Twitter especially if he wrote a book on freaking Twitter and probably everyone’s contacting him on Twitter.īut I like kept an eye on him over the years and I met him for drinks I think in my room for a party of for a dinner that I organized and I invited him on to do this interview because I’ve always been fascinated by how he did all these different things, software, books, online marketing, the whole thing, and always with a smile on his face. This was back in the late ’00s I got nowhere. He actually wrote a book on AdSense that was incredibly successful.Īnd so I tried to get him to do an interview. He then went on to build a bunch of different things. He’s a guy who had an online game site that he sold to Yahoo, Classic Games is what it was called. Who is this guy?” You know, apparently his name was Joe Comm and apparently this wasn’t his first success. He kind of was playing on the internet name. I thought, “Ha, ha, maybe this is the guy who changed his name to like. I’m really, really, really into like numbers and this app went to the top of the charts.Īnd then I look at the founder and his name was Joel Comm. I’m not really into fart humor but the reason I downloaded it is because everyone else was freaking downloading it and I wanted to see what it was and I tried it a couple of times and it felt inauthentic to me but, man, I was admiring how this little app got to the top of the charts. I say stupid because they weren’t super useful.Īnd today’s guest was one who created an app that got my attention. I found out about today’s guest soon after I got my iPhone and installed whatever stupid apps were on the app store at that time. I’m the founder of Mixergy where I interview entrepreneurs about how they built their businesses.
