Noah Kagan Presents

Today I'm sharing the story of why we spent $1,500,000 on Sumo.com. I discuss how I got past my reservations and in the process out my business partner Chad as Batman. Why did I spend 7+ years, hire 3 brokers, and send over 200 emails to buy the 82nd most expensive domain in history? Show notes at http://okdork.com/podcast/8

In this episode I break down my formula for creating new business ideas. By simply recognizing the things you want, you're guaranteed to always have at least one customer and that's you. I also break down and debunk 3 common myths of "The Wantrepreneur" and give you a better way to start. Not to #HumbleBrag but my old boss told me that AppSumo would never work. 7 years later AppSumo reaches nearly 1 million people a week, SumoMe helps over 150k sites a day, and our company is an 8 figure business. It all started because I simply wanted free software. The Challenge: Spend today thinking of all your shower thoughts. Even the dumb ones. Full show notes at http://okdork.com/podcast/7
