From Million Dollar T-Shirt Wearer to Selling His Last Name... Weird Business Ideas with Jason Zook
In this episode I talk with one of the most creative entrepreneurs I’ve ever met.
From selling his last name (twice) to getting paid to wear different t-shirts everyday, Jason Zook has run some of the most unique businesses and marketing strategies online over the past ten years.
We discuss how he comes up with these unique business ideas, how he pitches company and customers to take a chance on him, and why instead of trying to get “rich” he is working towards just having enough.
