🎙️ From Startup Struggles to Email Success
In this podcast episode, I talk about my journey -- from selling my first tech startup to launching Email Outreach Company. I share how scrappy cold emailing helped us land Amazon and Disney as customers, why product–market fit is the hardest (and most important) challenge every entrepreneur faces, and why I believe bootstrapping beats raising capital almost every time.
Key Takeaways:
🚀 Cold Email Works: I built credibility with Fortune 500 brands without connections, just persistence and smart outreach.
🏗️ Product–Market Fit Is Everything: The real test isn’t getting a customer once, but having them buy again and again.
💡 Bootstrap > Burn Cash: Building lean and profitable gives you control and freedom that venture money can’t.
📚 Advice for Entrepreneurs: Don’t fear mistakes. Focus on systems, resilience, and building your business so it can thrive without you.
