Today, I really enjoyed chatting with Noah about how to create a viable business idea and find your first customers without having to create anything at all. One thing that we mention in the episode, and I’m not sure if we fully explain it, but I actually, recently, became the CEO of a software company that acquired SumoMe. SumoMe is a lead generation tool, it does things like forms and pop-ups, and it’s actually a tool that Noah and his team developed. To learn more about SumoMe, and this new direction, head on over to sumome.com, or again, go to the show notes and I’ve included a couple links that will fill you in on all of the details there.

This week’s episode features Sam Reid, host of a YouTube channel, The Studio Revue. I met Sam a few years ago because we both live in the same area.

Of course, I had to chat with him about how he was able to grow his channel to over 100k subs in just a few years.
