Welcome back to The Ground Up Show. I'm your host Matt Diavella and today I'm talking with my friend,

author, and entrepreneur, Jason Zuck. Over the years, Jason has come up with some pretty

brilliant ideas that have become wildly successful. Like the time he earned over a million

dollars in revenue by wearing t-shirts, or that time he legally sold his last name to become jasonheadsets.com.

That's a real thing that he did, and he made some money doing that as well.

But I think what I like most about Jason is his honesty and candor when talking about these

projects.

While they had their upsides, they mostly burned him out and taught him to ask the question,

what is this all for?

One very quick announcement.

After dozens of submissions, we have four finalists for the Get the Rock on Matt's

podcast jingle competition, and I'm counting on you guys to vote for the best one, the one

that fits the heart of the show.

So if you want to vote, go to get the rock on matspodcast.com slash jingle.

Listen to the finalists. Two of them have not yet been played or heard on this show

and help make history as we put a close to the greatest competition in all of podcasting.

Again, that's get the rock on matspodcast.com slash jingle.

And stay tuned after the show as I play through some of the honorable mentions.

All right, to the podcast.

Oh, thanks for having me.

It is so nice to have you here.

I've been trying to get you on the podcast for a while, but... Well, we live, like, too far away.
