501: He thought his first online payment was spam (with Virgil Brewster)

Well, basically, my background is marketing.

I blow up launches for a living.

That's what I do.

And yeah, I do that for four years now.

I was for a couple of years.

I was on different platforms.

I started on X. That's where my whole journey started.

And I moved to LinkedIn and still have a love-hate relationship with LinkedIn.

Sometimes I love it and sometimes I think, you know, we went to Bangkok back and forth on LinkedIn also.

But that's that platform.

But I built up a business to seven figures with two business partners.

It was in the course that we sold.

And after that, chapter was closed we moved i moved into consulting because people started asking hey what do you do and i said well nothing i'm so semi-retired they're like no gotta be so can you help me with this and so before i knew it a year later i was helping people with what i was doing for myself for so long so that is that is an amazing journey and i and i love it and now sub stack It's just like a whole different beast, right? So I've been on LinkedIn for so many years and I made great friendships on LinkedIn, don't get me wrong, great friendship on X, but Substack, it's so much different.

It's so different and I cannot put my finger on it, but I need to stay.

So guys, you have to do a little bit more with David and me.

We are here to

stay.

I agree.

I've always felt the same, but Substack definitely feels like home to me as a platform.

And I agree about the other platforms you mentioned as well, where I like them.

I've liked them more in the past, but Substack definitely feels like the place to be for me and for you as well, Virgil.

Tell me as well, Virgil, about... about your publication.

So I think it's called The Launch Room.

So what does it involve and what kind of content do you put out and what's the offer kind of around that? So if someone wants to become a paid subscriber to The Launch Room, what do they get for that?

That's really, really cool that you asked that question, because I'm now in the process of figuring that all out.
