In this interview, we invite Nathan Chan, the entrepreneur and publisher behind Foundr Magazine, on to the show.

Interview with Nathan Chan, of Foundr Magazine.

Nathan launched his digital magazine (www.foundrmag.com) from his bedroom and two years ago foundrmag.com and crushing it. It has since become a profitable 6-figure business with 25,000 monthly readers, and 150,000 downloads.

He’s interviewed Richard Branson, Tim Ferriss, Arianna Huffington, Seth Godin, and many others, and he is on track to reaching over one million people the end of the year with his magazine, podcast, and social channels.

Nathan was an IT employee who was bored and reading a bunch of books. He wanted to be a create a successful online business – but kept putting it off, in true “wantrepreneur” style.

Nathan’s story is a classic example that anyone can start from zero – with no entrepreneurial knowledge, background, or connections, and work hard to make a success and find freedom.

    Hi Danny,

    I love Nathan’s story!

    He truly started from zero to create something epic. I mean, interviewing those pros of pros, the top entrepreneurs on earth, shows how he went from zero to 100 in record time. I also vibe with him in putting things off for a bit before diving in. Know the feeling well. I wanted, until I did. Big league difference in this game.

    Thanks for the inspired share guys.
