174: Million Dollar Weekend with Noah Kagan

The Lifestyle Investor - Investing, Passive Income, Wealth

Today, I’m talking with Noah Kagan. Noah’s an entrepreneur, author, and the founder and CEO of AppSumo. His journey in the tech industry began with roles at Intel, Facebook (where he was the 30th employee), and Mint.com, but it was his entrepreneurial ventures that truly defined his career. Despite some initial setbacks and ventures that didn't pan out, Noah's persistence led to the creation of AppSumo in 2010, aiming to democratize access to software for entrepreneurs. Today, he's not just the guy behind AppSumo, but also an influential figure in the startup community, sharing his knowledge through his podcast, YouTube channel, and the OKdork blog.

In this episode, Noah shares insights from his new book, Million Dollar Weekend: The Surprisingly Simple Way to Launch a 7-Figure Business in 48 Hours – and provides a step-by-step guide for anyone looking to test the waters with their idea.

Noah’s big on that first step - which is almost always the most difficult one, yet the most rewarding. He dives into practical tips on how to find your first customer and why talent is not required to be a successful entrepreneur. Instead, it’s about rolling up your sleeves, learning from bumps along the way, and getting better as you go.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

✅ Why playing it safe and is riskier than you think.

✅ Noah’s inspiring journey from being fired from Facebook and Mint.com to building one of the top software marketplaces in the world.

✅ Why every BIG business starts with a single customer – and practical tips for identifying and validating your business idea and attracting your first customer in 48 hours.
