Josh’s Advice

There's a lot to learn, but a lot of it is free on Google. It's really hard to spread misinformation about SEO stuff. The best way is to learn it on your own by Googling, reading, not paying for it, or talk to me. 

On this episode of the Jason Cavness Experience I talk to Levi Reed - Co-Founder Eunimart, Ex-Amazon We talk about the following and other subjects How he became interested in tech and startups Founder Institute Startup investing Eunimart Levi’s Bio I graduated from Wells College in upstate NY, near the dairy farm where I grew up. Both of my parents were small business owners and I had a strong interest in the vein. After working in the wine industry in NY for a couple years and then in government, I studied for my MS in Communications at Ithaca College and started a marketing practice. That got me interested in startups and tech, and ultimately I decided to do an MBA at ESADE in Barcelona. I was fortunate enough to land an internship with Amazon in Luxembourg and then a full time offer after graduation, and in 2016 I moved to Seattle to start at Amazon. I was there for another 4.5 years, mostly leading product marketing teams across several businesses including Amazon Lending, Amazon Advertising, and Devices (Echo). I also held roles with the Retail business and Amazon Launchpad. I left to join one of the largest hearing care companies globally, to build and launch a customer-facing brand. Unfortunately that didn't work out (happy to go into why, it's not sensitive) and I left to join Eunimart as a late cofounder leading marketing, sales, and GTM in the US.

We're offering discounted implementation and service fees to the first five customers who choose to participate. Please contact [email protected] for more information." Levi’s Advice I want to reiterate what I said before. I think it's really important to recognize your priorities and recognize your limits. I think it's important to think about limits. Limits are real, and they exist. But they're also typically malleable. As you're growing as a professional, if you're thinking about going into startups. I think it's always an exciting experience to find your limits and test them and then figure out a plan to expand your capacity in certain areas if you want to. I think it's a question of balancing reality with pragmatism with optimism. I'd say that's something that's pretty top of mind for me lately. As I'm finding, I'm testing my own limits and capacities in this new experience.

Rick’s Advice Remember being successful is probably the least of your worries. You'll be successful, someone being significant is really hard. I launched this product and I was successful launching it. I'm like, ok anyone can launch a product.

You want to be significant? Is it selling without you? Have you scaled it? Do you have a team that believes in what you're doing? Do you have a following me, significance is different than being successful. Because almost anyone listening to your show, can spend a little bit of money, create something and push it out there. Significance ties to relationships, because the impacts of that's my encouragement to your folks that are out there.

Do something that allows you to be significant and you're not going to be significant till you push it out. When you find something that someone is willing to pay you for, look out man, because you're going to make an impact on the world.

Kevin lived there most of my life. Kevin found an interest in art and programming through the desire to make video games. Videogames were his first true hobby Kevin focused more on art throughout high school after dabbling with programming because he felt it was too difficult. Kevin eventually decided to shift over to finance because of the promise of big dollars and decided to get a degree in accounting because the local university didn't have a finance degree However, he hated accounting and didn't feel competent. Kevin started working at a hotel in the meanwhile. He then taught himself programming at the hotel while working the night shift. He then took a year off of work to focus on programming full time. Kevin eventually got a job in the industry after tons of applications.
