Entrepreneur Office Hours - Issue #1

Selling $25m/year without a product, how to become TikTok famous, and more!

Welcome to the new newsletter!

Thanks for subscribing to Entrepreneur Office Hours (EOH). If you’ve been following me on other platforms for a while, you know I create and share tons of new content about startups and entrepreneurship each week. In response, two things have been happening:

1. Fans have been asking me the best place to see everything; and,

2. Entrepreneurs around the world have been sending tons of questions.

I hope EOH will help me better manage both thing. First, as you’ll see below, I’ll regularly be compiling all my content from around the Web — Medium, LinkedIn, podcast, etc. — into one place so you’ve got quick and easy access.

Second, I’m treating this newsletter like I treat office hours with my Duke students. By that I mean I want this to be a dialogue, and I invite you to ask questions here, via email, @me on Twitter, message me on LinkedIn, or wherever. I’ll do my best to answer, and I’ll share those answers right here in EOH.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
