It's finally here: my new book 'Work With The Best' is AVAILABLE NOW (!!) I'm 20 years old. Single. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I don't do drugs. I run a $1M/year creator business. I spent the last 5 years apprenticing under the top online entrepreneurs (Tyler Denk, Noah Kagan, Alex Hormozi, Shelby Sapp). And that's allowed me to build the life and business of my dreams at an early age. A hill I'm willing to die on: one of the fastest ways to get the life you want is to help those who are currently living it. I've learned soooo much working behind the scenes that I'm now applying to my own business. If you've wondered how to write a cold email, get on powerful people's radar, build an insane network... you'll love this book. It's my 'cookbook for creating opportunities'. Enjoy! link.amazon/B0fcIZgqe ~~ How am I feeling? Thanks for asking. Nervous. And surprisingly, calm. (Is that even possible?) Nervous because I’ve poured my absolute heart and soul into this book and launch. It’s the culmination of the last half decade of my life. All the lessons I learned working behind the scenes with entrepreneurs I admire, finding ways to stand out and create opportunities. Calm because I’ve given this everything I have. No matter what happens with the rest of this launch, I can confidently look myself in the mirror and say, “I did my best.” It’s a weird feeling. This book will likely be my last book for a while. It’s ending my chapter of “apprenticing under entrepreneurs.” I wanted to clarify and codify all the principles, tricks, and tactics to go from “on the outside” to on the inside. The next season of my life will be very different. I’m building my own empire. I don’t know exactly what will happen next. But I’m damn glad for all the love and support y’all have shown me. Let’s keep going. ✊🏼 -Jay

ive always wanted to be part of something like this. when @_buildspace ran sf campus, i got major fomo not going full-time on my own stuff for 3 mo’s. still sad that communities like that don’t really exist anymore -- online or irl. as a creator, i needed that. especially in sf. but today, i’m starting to feel that energy again. honored to be part of @slamco_

A few days ago, we signed a lease for an absolutely beautiful office space in the heart of San Francisco. It's got high ceilings, hugeee windows, and a rooftop with a gorgeous view of the SF skyline. But this space isn't for us. It's not an office. The plan was never to just have employees come work here. Our businesses are extremely lean, so the desks would feel pretty empty if that were the case. No, this space is meant for someone else. Honestly... we're not quite sure yet who. But if you're reading this, it might just be you. Let me explain. Two years ago, Declan and I went down an alternate life path. Rather than going to our college classes, we hunkered down in Declan's tiny studio apartment to build products together. We weren't confined to a specific niche or looking for a specific outcome; we thought that if we did the work we love, the rest would take care of itself. And it did. In what seemed like a blink of an eye, the projects we worked on became full-on businesses. We could support ourselves full-time. We had no one looking over our shoulder, telling us when to get to work or what to do. Above all, our work never felt like work because we loved what we were doing. And, well... we made enough money to pay for this sick space. The thing is, while this seems like the obvious path to us in retrospect, the journey was lonely and full of doubt and uncertainty. Our parents wanted us to stop. We didn't know any other people doing what we were doing. We didn't take the "startup" path and raise money. Nor did we wait to "gain experience" through college or corporate experience. We had a hunch that we were capable enough to figure something out. In other words, we took a bet on ourselves. And now, we're inviting a handful of you into this space to take a bet on yourselves too. Three months, all in. We don't care what you work on. You could be an artist trying to sell paintings, a founder scaling a business, or a woodworker designing chairs -- as long as it's something you want to commit to and turn into your living. Taking a bet on yourself is a lonely journey of doubt and uncertainty. We've found that the most important part is just showing up. You might think that the day you choose to start is the most difficult. While that certainly is a big choice, what's more dangerous is the looming decision that will stare at you in the face every day: the decision to show up again the next day, or quit. When there's no one telling you what to do and when to do it, it becomes much easier to not do anything at all. This space will help you fight that. This can take on many forms. For some people, this space might be a valuable work space separate from home. For others, it could mean an excuse to turn down a summer internship or to take a leave from work. Regardless of your circumstances, my guess is that working alongside other people here will be much more motivating than working by yourself at home. Our hope is that by giving you this space to work on your craft, a community of people who are also going all-in on themselves alongside you, as well as bottomless coffee and snacks... showing up will get easier. We're willing to bet that if a bunch of cool people keep showing up, day after day, some pretty awesome things are bound to happen. And while we'll certainly be there to give our take on things or encourage you, we in no way are going to be your mentor, or teacher, or boss. We definitely won't be telling you what to do and when to do it. We'll host events often and provide helpful resources where we can, but this isn't some sort of program or accelerator. Honestly, we thought those things were pretty pointless when we were first starting out. For 3 months, access to this space will be completely free. We think that's just long enough for things to happen, but short enough to give urgency. You'll have your own desk (or any other work station you might need) and you'll be surrounded by awesome people trying to make it themselves. People like our good friend Phillip, an ex-professional gamer who moved here from New Jersey and runs a wildly successful content creation program. Or our other friend Jason, who designed a viral keyboard set and is now starting his own clothing brand. This is something we've been wanting to do for a while; I'm unbelievably excited. By having you here, working alongside us, we'll feed off of your energy, too. Just because we've been able to find some success with our past ventures doesn't mean our journey is over. We're still showing up, each and every day, working on things we love. If you want to show up, apply. We can help you figure out the complications -- money, school, jobs, etc. One person will be leaving their consulting job in London and flying here for the summer. Ready to take a bet on yourself?
