As Josh Snow will tell you, his background did not set him up for his future. He didn’t grow up with a laptop in the basement, like other founders. He didn’t have investors lining up for his first product launch.
He had the library.
But with that simple location, Josh Snow was able to become a millionaire by 17.
Likewise, when Josh Snow built one of the world’s most famous oral care brands, he didn’t take the typical avenue of a millionaire CEO. He didn’t use investors. He didn’t do pitch decks and fancy presentations.
He used his own money.
Find out what superpower tapped into that allowed him to achieve these successes over and over again in his life in this powerful episode that is full of knowledge nuggets you won’t hear anywhere else.
