Join me, Nik (https://x.com/CoFoundersNik), and my business partner Chris Koerner (https://x.com/mhp_guy) as we dive into a wild theory: could Jack Dorsey, the founder of Twitter and Square, actually be the elusive Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin? We explore some compelling (and quirky) evidence.

Then, we shift gears to discuss a practical framework for entrepreneurs, breaking down the phases of being "in" and "on" your business, and when to strategically begin outsourcing different parts of your operation to maximize growth.

We even brainstorm some unconventional marketing ideas, including the potential of using Airdrop at conferences for high-ticket offers – it gets pretty creative!

Questions This Episode Answers:

Why might someone as wealthy as Satoshi Nakamoto remain anonymous?

What are the different phases an entrepreneur goes through as their business evolves?

What's a common mistake founders make when trying to remove themselves from the day-to-day operations?

How can you leverage unexpected places like conferences for unique marketing tactics?

What's an "ethical bait and switch" in the context of viral growth hacks?

Enjoy the conversation!
