You can get the benefit of all of that accrued to you instantaneously for nothing and only pay for results." — Jay Abraham (06:58) Leveraging External Resources: "You're using everybody else's relationships with their audience, their distribution channels, their databases, their brand association, their salesforces, their retailers, their distributors, their assets, and you can get access to millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of dollars for no investment or risk." — Jay Abraham (14:24) *** LINKS: From Bankruptcy to Millionaire in 2 Years: How Tibo Louis-Lucas Built and Sold TweetHunter & Taplio for Multi-Millions JOIN: First Class Founders Premium Membership DOWNLOAD: Hyper-Visuals For Our Episodes (Free) *** FOLLOW / REVIEW: - Follow - Leave 5-star review *** CONNECT W/ YONG-SOO: - X - Threads - LinkedIn - Newsletter *** First Class Founders is a show for indie hackers, bootstrapped founders, CEOs, solopreneurs, content creators, startup entrepreneurs, and SaaS startups covering topics like build in public, audience growth, product marketing, scaling up, side hustles, holding company, etc. Past guests include Arvid Kahl, Tyler Denk, Noah Kagan, Clint Murphy, Jay Abraham, Andrew Gazdecki, Matt McGarry, Nick Huber, Khe Hy, and more.
