I've just hit $200K on Stan. And John Hu built the platform that made it happen. John is the founder of Stan, the platform that has now made over $500 million for creators, and he started it because he needed it for himself 😲 In this episode, John gives us his full take on why your first digital product is probably already sitting in your Google Drive, why the creators making the most money on Stan aren't the most talented ones, and why asking your audience what they want to buy is always the right first move. We also get into why employee-generated content is one of the most slept-on growth strategies for founders right now, what being in rooms with Gary Vee and Steven Bartlett has actually taught him about obsession and hiring, and why watching your team members leave to build their own thing is a flex, not a failure. Oh, and he walks us through Stanley: Stan's new AI head of content, and what it's already doing for engagement in the first three days of using it. If you've been stuck in your head about your niche, your first offer, or your content strategy, this episode is going to shake all of that loose. 📌 Try Stan free for 3 days → stan.store 📘 Career Cheat Codes - IT'S OUT!!!
