In this episode, I talk to Michael Girdley, an incredibly successful entrepreneur, content creator and investor. His holding company is worth over $100M in revenue, including companies that span different industries like fireworks, software, school, real estate, staffing, and more.

Michael's built his X account to over 190K followers and his newsletter to over 20K readers. Most impressively, perhaps, he's enabled the creation of over 1,000 new tech jobs in the San Antonio area through his entrepreneurial and leadership ventures.

Today, we talk about how to build a brand with a mediocre skillset, the growth curve of a content creator, and why you should be charging higher prices for your products.
