Future of Online Business: Community, AI & Monetizing Your Passion | GaryVee Audio Experience & Stan
1,001Today’s episode of the GaryVee Audio Experience is with the founder of Stan, John Hu (@jayhoovy), and you're going to want to hear this. I'm introducing the GaryVee x Stan Challenge... it's for people that are ready and really leaned in and ready to build their business and monetize their brand. So this is for a small % that’s really committed.
John and I talk about the evolving creator economy and why everyone needs to be prepared to monetize their "viral moment" because it doesn't monetize itself. Stan is a Swiss Army knife of tools that can enable anyone to start a business online.
You have to sign up for this challenge just for the weekly (8 weeks) phone calls with me and fellow entrepreneurs/creators which I think is way more valuable then the entire price of admission!
Text me the word STAN to 1-212-931-5731 to make sure you get all the info!
