Transcript:
Jaime: I’m so lucky to have Jason Cohen on the show today. He is a serial entrepreneur who has started over four businesses that have all done revenue of over $1 million – way over on some of them – so he is the guy to listen to. Today he goes through, step-by-step, exactly how he recently created WP Engine, which is a hosting company that I use, and he has got it over $1 million already, even though it’s still a baby. He talks about how to validate your idea – what he went through, the step-by-step process that he went through to figure out whether it was a good idea or not. It’s not just people saying ‘Yes, that’s a good idea.’ That’s not it. He also talks about how to increase and double your revenue – he’s all about doubling. I hope you get a ton out of this interview – I know I did.

Announcer: Welcome to the Eventual Millionaire podcast with your host, Jaime Tardy. Real talk and real advice from real millionaires, with a sharp focus on you – the eventual millionaire.
Jaime: Welcome to Eventual Millionaire. I’m Jaime Tardy and today on the show we have Jaosn Cohen. Jason is super cool,I met him in Austin, Texas, and he is the founder of WP Engine which I actually just switched over to, about two or three weeks ago, for my hosting company. So far I love them, they’ve been wonderful – which is what he wants he hear! HE doesn’t want to hear me say they suck! One of the things that I’ve found really interesting about his background is that he’s started over four companies, all with over $1 million in revenue, all profitable, which is also huge, and he hasa ton of experience, so I’m super excited to have him on the show today. Thanks so much for coming on, Jason.

Jason: Thanks for having me.

Jaime: You have an incredible track record. The first thing I want to ask is did you always know you wanted to be an entrepreneur?

Jason: I always knew that I needed to do things my own way and the really nice way to say that and hopefully make some money is to become an entrepreneur instead of just a disgruntled employee which, I have no doubt, I would have done if I hadn’t been lucky enough to find this path instead.

Jaime: Fired over and over again, right?

Jason: I think you’re either built to need to do your own thing and start your own company or not. Hopefully that can be channeled in a positive way and you’ll also be successful and stay on that path. Some people watch movies like the Facebook movie and say ‘That sounds fun, I want to do that,’ and they won’tsucceed because it’s not in their DNA. I think they just have it.
