Harder Than Life

63: 2000% Raise w/ John Cerasani


Listen Later

Give yourself a raise. You deserve it.

Welcome back! This week, Kelly interviews venture capitalist, author, podcaster, and social media personality John Cerasani. John famously sold the insurance company he built at 37, netting himself his titular 2000% raise. Now, eight years later, John shares the details of his rise in business and online, and talks about what we all have to gain by taking power of our own income. John saves his worst for the haters and brings his love and wisdom to this episode of Harder Than Life. Highlights:

  • Corporate America convinces you that you need them. According to John, few even know how much income they lose in their current job.
  • Should I sell my business? If so, when? John relates the story of selling his company, and talks about how he knew it was the right time.
  • A normal job is “paid training” for your future career as an entrepreneur; John insists that you need to understand how businesses work before you can run one.
