Summary

In this episode, Sam breaks down why common sense—not degrees, credentials, or overthinking—is the real engine of success. You’ll hear the true story of a guy who sold a simple $37 ebook and made millions, all because he took action instead of complicating the process. If you’ve ever felt “not qualified enough” or stuck trying to perfect your idea, this episode will wake you up. Discover why simplicity scales, why common sense is becoming rare, and how you can turn your own simple idea into something powerful.
