Upgrade to The Best One Yet, our 20 minute daily show here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6xAfl1lv50TYyJ3SW92cPf?si=vlI42nr8Tmq4wfhmGObmfg From our Sold Out Live Show in Los Angeles, it’s the 1st guest we’ve ever interviewed whose official title is “Chief Inventor.” Because after half-a-dozen stalled startups, a rejection on Shark Tank in front of 3M viewers, and running low on cash, Jamie Simonoff sold his Ring home camera company to Amazon for over $1B in 2018. Basic idea, but billion-dollar-door-breaking breakthrough — Because the Ring wifi doorbell camera is the biggest disruption to the door since the knob. Now your mom has one, your neighbor has one, and your landlord just installed one (like ½ of America has) Jamie is the Baron of Buzzers & Patron Saint of Porch Security. And in this interview he unlocks all his secrets… like how he dropped $1M for the website domain www.ring.com [about:blank] — Even though he only had $100K in cash. Jamie’s got the kind of energy that makes you want to invite him inside to hang out and chat for hours (we could’ve kept going, but the theater was closing down). And on today’s interview he dives into: * How to become a tinkerer * His crazy Shark Tank episode * When Richard Branson emailed him to invest * What it’s like selling to Amazon (and making Bezos laugh) * That 1 big Super Bowl commercial * Whether Work/Life Balance is possible * Why he took his 5-year-old son to visit a Chinese factory * And the next simple household item to get disrupted TBOY HEAVY: Love this show?
