Selling Your Last Name 3 Times, Making $1M from Wearing T-Shirts? Jason Zook is Back! (Ep 079)

Published on: 12th April, 2018

Welcome to Episode 79 of Suncast!

Did you check out the last Suncast episode? It's Part 2 of my conversation with Paul Grana! Listen to it here!

Today on SunCast, you'll meet my friend and mentor, Jason Zook. Jason might be the best marketer, heck, best sales guy I’ve ever met. He made over $1Million doing something you and I do every day – putting on a t-shirt. 

He sold his last name...3 times! 

He even got his first book sponsored by more than a dozen companies before he ever wrote the first word...or even knew what the book would be about.   

Well, Jason and his super-creative wife Caroline are at it again, only this time they've teamed up to create something together aimed at helping the budding entrepreneur navigate the wandering path toward success. 

Tune-in as we discuss these topics: 

  • Some of Jason's early struggles as an entrepreneur who looked like he had it all figured out.
  • Jason’s advice for someone starting out on their entrepreneurial journey.
  • Creating products that solve your own problems, and turning them into profit.
