#2 with Ramon Van Meer - Blogging His Way To $9M in Cash

At this point it's a money printer. I was very lucky that uh in content you with a very small team, very low overhead. We're talking monthly, you're pulling in. between four and five hundred thousand in revenue What's up guys, Sean here. I'm doing a special little introduction to this episode from my phone. Because we got some good news. We

broke into the top ten on the uh Apple iTunes rankings, which is really crazy. I thank everybody who downloaded the episode, subscribed, left a review, uh Ben mod me a dollar. Uh everybody who supported the show, thank you very much. You know the rankings don't really r really mean much. I'm gonna do the show anyways because I just like having conversations with smart people. But damn, it does feel good when something actually works and when people like listening to it. And I really appreciate that. So that's good news. The other good news is that we're bringing on our first sponsor. Uh you'll hear me talk about them a little bit in midway through the episode, but I just think it's cool. We're the money podcast. We talk to people about how they made their money. And uh it's only right that we make a little money ourselves, I think. Uh that helps keep the show going and makes it sustainable for everybody. So uh big shout out to Monday dot com who's coming on as our first sponsor. Uh I also like that it's actually a product that I use. Uh in fact, like last week I started using Monday dot com. to organize the podcast because there was so much stuff going on. I gotta book guests, I gotta send stuff to the editor, I gotta do this and that. Any project, it just starts getting super busy. And so uh Monday dot com was a really good place to just organize everything, um, have my lists in a good spot. And it's got really nice design and I'm a sucker for design. And so uh this sounds like an ad now. This is not the ad. The ad comes later, but I really do use the product and I'm glad that the sponsor is something that I actually use and really like. So uh shout out to them for coming on board. Um this week's conversation was with Ramon Van Meer.

Um and Ramon is a really interesting dude and this episode is gonna be different than most episodes. I would say that Majority of the guests when I have them on, they are intimidatingly smart. Um when they're talking to me, it's pretty obvious within five minutes that I'm the dumbest person in the room and I just try to ask questions so that let them talk and let them tell their story and I just do my best to keep up. But Ramon is not a genius. And that's what I'll say, our buddy Sam, who introduced us, he says it differently. He calls Ramon like he just tells him you're so dumb, you're the dumbest smart guy I know. And he means it with love because what Ramon does is he doesn't overcomplicate things.
