Whoa! Ever Been Called a Sellout For Monetizing Your Content?

Whoa! Ever Been Called a Sellout For Monetizing Your Content?: "This video I did on the Genesis Lifestyle theme (affiliate link) has generated a few thousand dollars in pure passive income over the last year.  So of course the affiliate commission was motivation for such a video.

But some of the most successful companies were started by people that had no experience in their industry, and that’s precisely why they were able to change it.

A Tech Founder's Guide To Picking A Non-Tech Founder: "This heap of work will far outnumber the portion you have actually encountered. Can your cofounder figure sh*t out? And can they do it quickly? Being amazing at one thing is nice, but honestly not what you should optimize for in a cofounder.
