Hey friends, my friend Jeff Su spent nine years at Google and, on the side, built a YouTube business that allowed him to quit his job without ever taking a big scary leap. In this video, we break down his entire playbook, from making $98 in his first six months to $835,000 last year, and situations where being risk-averse works to your advantage. Hope you enjoy xx
