Product placement

IM8 (acts): Danny is the CEO and co-founder of IM8. The product is a supplement called DAILY ULTIMATE ESSENTIALS Acai and Mixed Berries. Removing it would change the context of the video, as it's the subject of the discussion. OPEN-RESIDENCY (appears): This is a watermark/attribution at the bottom of each slide. Removing it would not change the content of the video.

EP. 29 YEUNG Danny DANNY IS THE CEO AND CO-FOUNDER OF IM8 ALONGSIDE DAVID BECKHAM. THEY WENT FROM ZERO TO A $100M RUN RATE IN UNDER A YEAR. HERE ARE MY 15 LEARNINGS FROM OUR CONVERSATION. OPEN-RESIDENCY 01. Speed is the only advantage competitors can't copy. 02. IQ is becoming a commodity. EQ is the new edge. 03. Being AI native isn't a skill. It's the new baseline for employment. 04. Say yes first. Figure out how later. 05. The best deals close on the jockey, not the due diligence. 06. The product closes the celebrity. Not the pitch deck. 07. Don't sell a product. Sell access to the people behind it. 08. The fastest companies have the fewest people in decision making. I M 8 WITH-CELL REGENERATION ESSENTIALS DAILY ULTIMATE ESSENTIALS Acai and Mixed Berries 09. A 90 day subscription isn't a discount. It's a habit installer. 10. A loss leader on CAC is a down payment on LTV. 11. Routine creates stickiness. For products, platforms, and people. 12. LLM SEO is the next search. Most brands haven't even started. 13. The best pivots happen before the market forces them. 14. Skill stacking across industries is the compounding nobody talks about. 15. The best entrepreneurs are pattern recognizers in disguise.
