Listen in today as Paul interviews entrepreneur, social media genius, CEO and multi platinum artist Spectacular Smith. They discuss what his plans are for the future as well as his history and journey as an entrepreneur.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Smith knew from as early as 3rd grade that entrepreneurship was for him. By 11th grade he even had people working for him. He then became an entertainer and launched his own agency. He has dipped in and out of a few things but entrepreneurship has always been there.
• Smith was an incredibly successful musical artist but he ended up broke due to his father’s mishandling of money. This lead to him needing to really double down and ‘hustle’ which is how his social media career and business began.
• A core belief of Smith’s is that you can only get as far as the person teaching you has gone, so you need to seek those who have been and progressed further than you to learn.
• Experience and having proven results are more important to Smith than having education. He feels like college etc is overpriced and outdated for today’s system and society. Most people do not need to go to college.
• The new social media app Clubhouse is something Smith really gets behind. He loves that there is no faking on it, if someone asks you a question you have to answer them in real time. You have to know what you are talking about.
• Clubhouse can easily be monetised, so much so that this is where Smith would invest and build a business if he were to start up today.
