In an attempt to share these learnings, he started writing a simple letter every morning to friends, family, and our clients. The recipient list has since grown to tens of thousands of people, which eventually led to the creation of a podcast that has now been downloaded millions of times and in every country in the world. He wanted to create a single location for all of the content to live, where people knew they could visit frequently to stay educated on business, technology, finance, and Bitcoin — and this website is the result!

In this episode of Behind The Lens with Roger Rojas, we have Josh Luber.

Josh co-founded StockX, an online marketplace that was valued at over 1 billion dollars. He managed to turn a childhood passion into a multi-million dollar business, global venture through tried and true methods that’d make your folks proud.

He started three other startups before StockX. None of them had anything to do with sneakers, almost intentionally so. He avoided creating any business that was related to sneakers, almost out of fear that it was just an excuse to play with sneakers. 

It’s not a coincidence the business that was, in retrospect, the most successful is one where he finally joined his personal passions with business.
