Listen "#49 Max Learmont | The 'Normal' Dude Behind a $1 Million/month Business..."
Episode Synopsis
Max is one of the few guy mates I've made this year moving to Sydney. Testament to his general easy-going vibe and openness to new experiences and new people.It also was not made immediately obvious the exact level of success his online business 'Chill Chair' was generating.One late-night car ride he started to reveal the reality of journey. I was not just shocked, but incredibly excited to be getting such insight into a world that is so often muddied by out of touch internet grifters, spruiking a questionable online course...We, of course, had to get Max on the pod.So, finally, we wrangled him to the mic and delved into the story of his life!Covering an extremely promising initial career in advertising, to the perils of going out into the woods of entrepreneurship, and the nature of e-business.Most importantly to me, I think, is the opportunity to present micro-expressions, stories and struggles which are oh so human and relatable. Again, Max has essentially always been a 'normal guy' in my eyes. That fact, however, flies in the face of the internet conditioning which so often pedestalises those who hit certain quantifiable success metrics, disregarding the inevitable compromises likely involved.Anyways, yet another time capsule of an interesting human as we approach the half-century...Thanks Max!Enjoy:)
