Description
In Episode 06, Erin interviews Alex Lieberman (aka, @alexlieb) to discuss how he co-founded the wildly successful newsletter, Morning Brew, and sold it a few years later for $75 million—all before 30. We talk about entrepreneurship, being a CEO, starting a newsletter, monetizing online business, raising funds for a startup, dealing with the sudden death of his father, dating, terrible advice, amazing advice, and why Alex didn't buy a Rolex or Ferrari when he became a multi-millionaire. ➞ In this episode:0:00-2:33 Introduction2:34-5:39 Growing Up in Jersey5:39-9:50 College & Caddy-ing 9:51-14:54 Starting Morning Brew14:55-18:11 Monetizing a Newsletter18:12-22:35 Quitting His Job22:36-31:43 Pitching Investors & Raising $750k31:44-34:43 Selling Morning Brew for $75M34:44-40:20 Seeing $$$ Hit His Bank Account40:21-51:30 Alex's Father Dying + Grief51:31-55:55 Alex's Morning Routine55:56-56:40 The Worst Advice Alex Received56:41-58:48 Advice That Changed Alex's Life58:59-1:00:28 Alex's Role Model1:00:29-1:01:42 The Definition of Success1:01:43-1:03:13 How Alex Met His Wife1:03:14 Real Advice with Erin & Alex~~~~~~~~~↳ Follow Alex on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexlieb/?hl=en↳ Subscribe to Morning Brew: https://www.morningbrew.com/daily↳ Learn about StoryArb: https://www.storyarb.com/↳ Need some help?
