Noah hops into his Miata shaped time machine to offer his younger self the Business Almanac Playbook, which has all the advice he'd ever need if he was to start over.

In this episode you'll hear 21 pieces of invaluable career advice. From the importance of being okay with uncertainty to the power of compounding & persistence, Noah shares practical insights from his professional highs and lows to help you navigate your own business journey today.

In this conversation, you'll enjoy 3 BIG things:

Why being the hub, connecting people can have a positive return 15 years later.
How content creation is an opportunity magnet and most people give up too soon.
What does a healthy work / life balance look like for a successful entrepreneur?

Enjoy these 3 things plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.

If you enjoyed this and want to hear more advice for young startups, go back and listen to our episode with Leif Rasmussen where he asks me questions about how to succeed as a young entrepreneur. That's episode 291 in this feed.
