High Intensity Business

Noah Kagan is Co-Founder/Chief Sumo at Sumo.com and AppSumo.com, where he helps entrepreneurs kick more ass. Before working at Intel, Noah was employee #30 at Facebook and #4 at Mint. His blog, OkDork.com, provides in-depth guides and strategies on how to start a business, marketing, and more.

Noah Kagan is, in my opinion, the #1 dude for helping people learn how to start and grow their business. His course, Monthly1K, had a big impact on my business growth and mindset. I took this opportunity to ask Noah what he's doing to grow his own podcast, Noah Kagan Presents.
