episode You Can Just Do Things - Jay Yang cover

Beskrivelse

Jay Yang believes you don't need permission to create your own opportunities. At 16, he cold-emailed Tyler Denk, CEO of beehiiv, with a list of ideas on how he could help. That email turned into an internship where he built beehiiv 101—a course that has helped hundreds of users unlock the platform's potential. At 17, he sent Noah Kagan, founder of AppSumo, a 19-page pitch deck breaking down gaps in his social media and email marketing—and how to fix them. That landed him a role as Head of Content, where he led social media campaigns, including the one that made Million Dollar Weekend a New York Times bestseller. Today, Jay continues to help entrepreneurs scale their brands, grow their audiences, and market their products more effectively. https://www.youcanjustdothingsbook.com/
