Episode Synopsis

Marty (CEO of Blockthrough) is the definition of a “Founder Cockroach”—he can’t be killed. In this episode, he shares how after 12 years and 2 failed start-ups, he sold his company for nearly $100M.I've known Marty since my very first startup days. In 2013, we started our startups at the same time. I watched him take punches to the face for years. I watched him eat ramen noodles for way too long. And I watched him build an epic company and sell it.99.9% of founders won't be the next Steve Jobs. But 100% of founders can be the next Marty. Send me a message to let me know what you think!
