- Becoming an Entrepreneur has been absurdly over-hyped and romanticized these days. So today, I decided to take you along for what an actual full day of work looks like for me as a startup CEO, and in doing so, share with y'all some of my biggest struggles that I'm currently facing, and what I'm doing about them.

Hey fam - I'm going to vlog the entire journey of us building a Billion $+ company in hopes you can learn from it. Would love if you subscribed and joined the journey -- will do everything I can to share with you everything I learn along the way. ❤
Hey John, glad to be apart of the journey alongside you and the Stan team; check out your recent Venmo requests, I would love your input on my startup - live well and prosper!
Your content is beyond valuable man. The levels of transparency, positivity, creativity are unmatched. I quit my corporate job last week to work my startup full-time. Your journey is inspiring me. Taking building in public to a whole new level! Keep up the golden content bro 🫡
Appreciate the kind words Ato! Will do my best to keep sharing all the mistakes and learnings I have along the way. Excited to see where your startup journey takes you!
These guys are grinders... Trying to be like y'all someday
Hey man just wanted to say - the first part of this video hit home. Experiencing hyper growth myself and struggling a bit with letting go of things and growing the team and your comments reminded me it’s normal to feel that way. Appreciate these videos cheers
*PLEASE KEEP MAKING SUCH VIDEOS!* These day in a life videos are great!
Great video again Jay!
I would love to see some videos on your key learnings, skillset and struggles. Sectioned by size/scale, as you mentioned how priorities, tasks and responsibilities evolve as Stan keeps growing.
Love the work you are doing and sharing with us ❤
WOW!!! They way the mission is expressed is awesome. When working in a team and guiding it, it's. astrong challenge to keep the team on track. I appreciate seeing how you do that and you're definitely a big inspiration!
I’m not a business student or knowledgeable in business, but if you’re constantly looking for “the best” person for the job, your search will never end.
You should probably look for the people that are looking for a mission to see through to the end, and people that are willing to grow and become better and more efficient over time as the company grows.
You need people that want to BUILD something together, that means for better or for worse you stick together.
Hey man, this video is invaluable. As a high schooler who started my own organization, im really relating with all your struggles. Thank you again. Stay blessedb
I am a founder myself and I can totally relate to your struggles. Super interesting to watch how you are dealing with them! Thanks for the great content! Keep it going.... never quit!
Dude I just stumbled upon your channel. I'm just getting started in my entrepreneurship journey and your stuff is so great for me. Keep it up man!
you give authentic vibes. I really felt you even though I'm not doing what you are doing. Keep up the great work. I subscribe and I support you
love the part of the video when you get into what really culture means.
keep the hard work up man !
Love you 💌
The thing I'm most interested in learning about alongside leadership these days! Cheers!
Hey Jay, I work in management consulting. Your content is GOLD, one piece of advice based on your closing thoughts. Given the scale you have reached, I think you greatly stand to benefit from bringing on a head of strategy into Stan. this person can help you think of the future, the big picture, and how to evolve your business to stay on the forward frontier. Understandably there is too much tactically day-to-day on your plate that prevents you from thinking strategy enough
keep up the great work John!
Love this! This is what it really is and people don’t understand the amount of work it takes.. but at the end of it, if purpose is there and that never fades, you WILL be successful.
Yessir! The right mindset Kyle + give, give, give to others!
love every single one of your videos dude! incredible to see the progress and all the insight from these videos
Zaid! Good to hear from you sir! Hope you're doing well!
What a great video John. I LOVED watching this. Stan is changing so many lives thanks to you. This came up on my YT recommended and I was like HECK YESSS
Awww Maureen!!! It's so good to hear from you!! And I'm betting there's a way Alyssa can pull you in again to the Stan journey soon.
Really interesting to see the character arc from creating content to leave I-banking and surf.
To setting new hire expectations that you’ll be working more than 9-5.
Awesome post Jay! Thank you! - it’s a lot of high highs and low lows. Yeah - it’s often over glamorized. But it can be well worth it at some points 👌✨
We're a fan! Applying your lessons and insights into Afforai every time you drop a video.
Heck ya! Excited to see where you guys take Afforai!
Love your content! 👏🏼
I run a small Healthcare startup focusing on stress and weight management for leaders. We run clinics and online coaching programs.
So many of the things mentioned are so relevant. From running teams, managing emotions, being self-conscious about whether we’re doing the right things. Please keep making these videos to show the real behind the scenes of running a company. 🎉
I have a start up and man are you hitting the hammer on the nail! Glad to know this is a part of the journey and I’m not alone
You are not alone indeed! You've got this!!! And thanks for tuning into the journey :)
loved it
This guy is the definition of a winner, and these clips will be shown in a documentary one day
yo jay can u make a vid on how you balance your time building stan with creating your personal content? i know they overlap and you definitely have your systems down, but i'd love to learn more about how you keep pushing the needle on YT.
I did a full video on this! Check out: th-cam.com/video/tXF7yT8b-5M/w-d-xo.html
You always post valuable content and I got to learn a lot from you . I am working on startup from India and I want to grow Indian animation and the journey is not easy . We still don't have opportunities but still trying for more than a year. Keep going and Thank you for sharing the stuff .
Excited for you to dominate the Indian tech scene!! Thank you for your support from across the ocean!
@@jayhoovy thank you once I did and I would like to meet you.
Your new ways of management is creating hope In future hires and the call with Bain and co was kinda wow. I was creating my profile to work in consulting and I was making a list of companies to work bain and co is there now thank you for that
They're my favorite firm by a long shot - everyone I personally know who works there / worked there, I genuinely respect. Good luck! Crush it!
Hey Jay, loved the vid as always. I'd love to learn about the software/ platforms you use to keep a track of the team performance as well as tools your company uses as a whole to get sh*t done.
We honestly don't use any software here! We just set OKRs, have weekly business review meetings, and use Notion to track!
Great vid
Thank you James!!🙏
Just in time. I requested this in one startup forum yesterday "Life in a life of successfull startup"
Awww lovely to hear!! If you wouldn't mind sharing this video with the forum, I'd be so greatly appreciative Balu - it'd help the channel grow (and hopefully help other founders too!)
Always the best quality videos, John! I would to ask you about this possibility of TikTok being banned from US, how do you think this could impact Stan and what are you guys doing to mitigate this risk?
Video coming soon (literally as of today... filming what we're doing with new House ban coming across today... brutal) - thanks for asking Rodrigo! Stay tuned
Hey Jay, I just want to talk to you soon for your advices. Just started my digital agency for the last 6 months, and the journey has been....so far exactly like you shared. Things keep compounding, too much stuff to worry, and mind fk and exhausted every single day! But love the journey though! I believe you'll be $Billionaire in 2030, if you hit that mark, I'll buy you a ...coffee 🙂
I gained a lot of motivation to go and start something myself.
So stoked to hear that Mr. Fizz! Get out there and crush it!!!
Inspiring af. That’s it
Supportive af. Appreciate you Francesco. Truly.
Please please please please keep making these video!
Also, do you have mentors or a shark to guide you?
So interesting
Good video - thank you.
Feedback on the mobile web page. The scrolling is not good on home page. For example, the page is stuck right now in the middle and I can’t move up or down
Figured it happens for others
Thanks again for a peek into the life man
Thank you sir! Just sent this off to my eng team to get fixed -- huge saver right here. I appreciate you letting me know!
John, I have heard you speak about side hustles. I am a data scientist by day, but I am truly meant to be a game developer and am both passionate and talented at it. Both data science and game development are "all in" fields that are ultra competitive; this combination of career and side hustle would also probably lead to burnout.. What is your advice for someone in such a situation?
Hmmm - I'm going to push you on your thinking just to give you perspective - totally hear you on both being intense. But what would a world look like where for just an hour a day, or a few hours a weekend, for an entire year you were consistent about just making a little bit of progress on testing your gaming dreams? I bet you could build a pretty dope indie game by year 1.5-2 with just a few hours/week of truly shipping and learning :) and use your data science skills as a competitive advantage!
A bit of topic but what car are you driving 😅
Hey can i recommend a book? Buy back your time by dan martell. I think it would be helpful to you and i am interested to see how you would apply this to your business.
This is random and you didn’t actually order it, but Tocayo has a very special place in my heart
hahahaha we love Tocaya dw we go all the time to support them
Best creator of 2024
best comment of 2024 tbh
omg please keep your hands on the wheel 😅
Yooo John! Just wanted to say that you motivied me to start creating content as a 19 yo tech solopreneur.
You are a pretty good example that a solid personal brand is one of the greatest and simplest competitive advantage, as I personally only know Stan in your niche.
Your way of functionning reminds me of how Spotify approaches it: we help THEM make money for us to make money, I truly respect that.
Keep up the work and I sincerely hope that Stan will get to the Billions in no time flat!
So humbled to hear topote! You're still so young so don't feel rushed - you've got SO much time and learning ahead of you. Wishing you all the best in your journey! KIT
@@jayhoovy you're 100% correct. I believe that starting a business at my age (or even younger) is the best way to learn practical knowledge and skills, so there is no downsides to it even if it fails
What motivates you to get through tough times? The impact you want to make on others? I refuse to believe its only financial.
Entrepreneurship for me -- and this mission we're on -- are a deeply personal way for me to learn more about myself and find fulfillment

Aye
Aye✌️
Hope you make it to a multi-billion startup!
Hope we do and you get to come along with us for the ride crypher!
Youre 28 and more accomplish than what I even want to be😂
Hey john, I am an 18 year old student and would like to request you for an internship , can I get your email or linkedin??
Hii love your videos! How did you get your first customers for Stan? How/Through which platform did you contact them? E-Mail/TikTok/IG?
Hi! I covered this in 2 of my earlier videos re: how to start a company in 2024 / how to build in public!
@@jayhoovy got it. Did you only cold email them after you created Stan or did you have interviews before creating Stan? Thank you
