Jake Youngblood on Being an Irrational Optimist, Acquiring eCommerce Brands, and Slonking Raw Eggs
On episode #16 of the STICK TALK podcast, the boys sit down with Jake Youngblood to talk about what it means to be an irrational optimist, partnering with the former CFO of Goldman Sachs on a venture, investing in eCommerce brands, and slonking raw eggs live on camera.
Jake is the founder of Irrational Optimists, a community where people can make real connections, get real advice, and do real business. IO offers something that’s hard to find on the internet today, a band of brothers and sisters you can lean on. Outside of IO, Jake is the owner of a portfolio of eCommerce brands. Away from work, Jake spends time flaneuring in South Beach (he’s basically the mayor of that city), slonking raw eggs, and bringing energy to every room he steps into.
