In today’s episode, I talk to 19-year-old business student and entrepreneur, Leif Rasmussen!
I met Leif and his dad randomly, and it worked out perfectly because y’all ask me all the time what advice I have for young entrepreneurs. But, I haven’t been a teenager in a long time!
Luckily, Leif is a 19-year-old business student here in Austin, and he also runs a knife-sharpening business on the side that makes about $20k/year!
Check out Leif’s knife-sharpening business at SharpNAustin.com.
So in today’s episode, Leif asks me questions about how to succeed as a young entrepreneur and I ask him about his business goals—and we get into some deep life conversations along the way.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn what it’s like to be a young entrepreneur, you’ll love this episode.
In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:
How to put yourself in a position of hypergrowth, no matter what age you are
Why you need to surround yourself with people who DISAGREE with you
And how to experiment with the dials of your life to find what fits you best
Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
