147. I Made $100m So I Could Become a YouTuber ft. Jake Kassan

147. I Made $100m So I Could Become a YouTuber ft. Jake Kassan

What’s up, Rock Nation! Today, we're sitting down with Jake Kassan. Jake is the founder of MVMT Watches, who built and sold his company for $300M, personally making $100M in the process. But after reaching what most would consider the pinnacle of success, he found himself lost - struggling with purpose, identity, and what came next.


In this episode, Jake opens up about the rise of MVMT and how he built a powerhouse brand from scratch, what it was like selling his company for $300 million, losing purpose after the sale, and how he rediscovered his passion through storytelling on YouTube.


This is one of the realest conversations we've had about success, identity, and reinvention. If you've ever wondered what happens after the big payday, this one's for you.
