Episode notes

I was in the e-commerce drop shipping world right out of college, very similar to you in the same mindset. I'm not working for anyone. This is like, I can make it on my own. It's this whole like, if you go down to the root cause of it, you're like, there is nothing there. There's no like true driver there. To me at least, even if Epic was a tenth of the level of success that it is today, I still would have chosen it over something 10x more successful than that, right? To me, it's a bigger win.

Kevin Espiritu is the creator of Epic Gardening. Kevin has amassed over 3.6 million social media followers, 11 million podcast downloads, and 42 million blog visits.
