🎙️ In this episode of Good Luck People, host Zubair Ahmad sits down with Dave Lavinsky—bestselling author, AI innovator, and the strategic force behind PlanPros and Growthink.
Dave has helped over a million entrepreneurs bring their business ideas to life—guiding founders with proven strategies, pitch-winning plans, and a mindset that starts at the end and builds backward. But beyond the frameworks and funding formulas lies a deeper story—of curiosity, risk, resilience, and the quiet kind of luck that shows up when you do the work.
From early consulting roles that led to billion-dollar turnarounds, to launching everything from juice bars to AI-powered SaaS tools, Dave’s entrepreneurial DNA is built on pattern recognition, fearless iteration, and scaling purpose with precision.
In this episode, Dave opens up about:
âś… How a single plan helped a Fortune 500 company earn $1 billion in 3 years

 ✅ What it takes to build 3,000+ niche websites and turn data into passive income
