Description

In today’s episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on Million Dollar Weekend by Noah Kagan. I'm about three-quarters through it, but I couldn’t wait to talk about it. It’s that good. You’ll hear why I’ve highlighted more passages than I’ve left untouched in this book (a rare feat), and why it’s become an instant favourite.

What I love about this book is how grounded and actionable it is. Noah doesn’t just offer philosophy—he gives you steps. Real ones. Like, how to get three customers in 48 hours. No branding. No fancy website. Just real offers and results.

Here’s what I dive into:

• Why asking is the underrated superpower in business and life
• The danger of selling vitamins vs. painkillers
• The genius of launching ugly and fixing in real time
• His beef jerky experiment (and what it teaches us about validation)
• My own reflections from writing The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint and how I applied a similar principle

If you're someone who has 100 ideas but never pulls the trigger, this episode is a giant nudge.
