Summary
On this episode, I chat with Alex Ikonn, the co-founder of Intelligent Change and Luxy Hair. We discuss entrepreneurship, creating an impactful brand, leveraging social media, why your first true 1000 fans matter, and so much more. Alex is an example of an entrepreneur that started with very little, but chose to make something of himself instead of playing the role of a victim. His journey and tips will inspire anyone to take the leap and pursue their dreams.
With fans like Tim Ferris, Alex’s brand, Intelligent Change has managed to bridge the gap between impact and aesthetic. The Five Minute Journal and Productivity Planner are products that truly change the users’ lives for the better, while also delivering a sleek ‘Instagrammable’ design.
