In today’s episode, you’re going to hear about a mad experiment we ran during the Million Dollar Weekend book launch on Tim Ferriss’s show. We put out a 48-hour challenge where the coolest, most interesting startup entrepreneur would win a weekend with me. 

Our winner, Eli, raised $65,000 in just 48 hours and blew us away with his dedication and inspiring mission to do good in his community, feeding those in need in Philadelphia.

The Community Grocer provides healthy food to underserved areas in Philadelphia. Our weekend together was filled with valuable entrepreneurial lessons, a lot of fun, and insights into staying focused and impactful in business and life.

 

In this episode, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

  • How to set clear measurable goals to work backwards from.

  • How to find what's working and double down. 

  • How to get your first budget boner!

 

All these plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
