This weeks guest has an incredibly inspiring story that I feel privileged to share. Timothy Armoo is a born entrepreneur from humble beginnings who started his first business Alpha Tutoring, at the age of 14, and his second, EntrepreneurExpress, at 17 which he sold in under a year. 5 years later, Tim cofounded Fanbytes, the 5x award-winning social and influencer marketing agency which helps brands win the heartโ€™s of GenZ. Tim recently sold Fanbytes at the age of 27 with an 8 figure exit, and needless to say, heโ€™s also been named in the Forbes 30 Under 30 list for his achievements in Media and Marketing. In the conversation we talk about Timโ€™s drive for entrepreneurship and how executed on this at a ridiculously young age despite facing challenges along the way, as well as discussing a tonne of actionable advice for people interested in starting a business. Enjoy!
