Summary
If you want to build a business that gives you freedom, flexibility, and a life you don't grow to hate, listen to this ASAP.
Today I'm sitting down with Camden Mamian - someone who's been in our world for a while now, and his story is absolutely insane. We're talking college dropout, making $500 a month in 2022... to now closing in on $700K this year. Ocean-view penthouse in San Diego, 12K on Instagram, and a business that actually gives him his life back.
But here's what I love about Camden's story - it's not clean. It's not perfect. He's had to fight through real constraints, money mindset stuff, and figuring out what it actually takes to scale past $500K. So if you're anywhere between $5K and $50K a month and you're wondering what the next level actually looks like... this one's for you.

| 0:00.0 | I personally love working from home just because it gives me the freedom of like this remote work, being able to just go on vacation. |
| 0:05.6 | I already booked Japan and April, things like that. |
| 0:08.1 | I went to Europe in August. |
| 0:09.7 | So I think things like that is where I really love coaching is because especially like to give you a reference, I actually know another coach in my building. |
| 0:19.6 | And for them, they make do pretty well. They're at like, |
| 0:22.4 | I think like 30, 40ish k months we've chat about it. But they don't delegate out. And for them, |
| 0:28.4 | it's always time constraint. They're spending like nine to 12 hour days. They never take vacation because |
| 0:34.6 | they're just always the coach. They're always doing this call, that call. And it's a nightmare versus for me, I get to take time off. I have the freedom. And I think that flexibility is so important as you expand. What's up, everyone? Welcome back to the show. Today I'm with Camden Mamian. Amian. Amian, yeah. Honestly, I get it wrong. So yeah, it's all good. |
| 0:55.7 | That's such a dope last name, though, to be honest. Like, we're better than a dogger. |
| 0:59.8 | Anyways, but Camden's been in our community and our ecosystem for a while now. His story is really |
| 1:04.3 | interesting and actually pretty insane. From dropping out at college to, you know, making $500 a month, |
| 1:10.2 | $500 per month in 2022, |
| 1:13.0 | to now just inching closing the year out right around 700K. He's got an Ocean View penthouse in San |
| 1:19.3 | Diego. He's been able to grow his Instagram to over 12,000 followers now. Instagram's at 38K. |
| 1:26.2 | Well, I was way off. |
| 1:27.7 | All right. |
| 2:00.8 | 38,000 followers. Yeah, it's a lot better. Yeah. And what's most important, though, is he's built a business that actually gives him a life. All right. And Camden's story that we're going to jump into. It's not clean. It's not perfect. He had to fight through some constraints, some money mindset stuff and really have to figure out what it takes. So if you're listening to this, there's going to be a lot to take away from it tactically and from a mindset perspective. So anyways, let's jump in. Camden, let's rewind. Let's go back to 2022. You dropped out of college. I love that. Fuck college. What happened there. Like, why did you drop out? Why did you drop out? |
| 2:02.0 | What did your parents have to say? |
| 2:02.7 | Like, take us through it. |
| 2:04.1 | Yeah, it was a lot. |
| 2:05.9 | So I was at ASU at the time. I was finished freshman year. Felt like a bum. I, like, wasn't doing anything. I was like, hey, I want to start Instagram. I was in shape at the time, better shape than I was now, like six-pack shredded, it was sick. |
| 2:16.5 | And I was like, you know, I think I'm good at coaching. |
