In Episode 06, Erin interviews Alex Lieberman (aka, @alexlieb) to discuss how he co-founded the wildly successful newsletter, Morning Brew, and sold it a few years later for $75 million—all before 30. We talk about entrepreneurship, being a CEO, starting a newsletter, monetizing online business, raising funds for a startup, dealing with the sudden death of his father, dating, terrible advice, amazing advice, and why Alex didn't buy a Rolex or Ferrari when he became a multi-millionaire.
