It’s like Christmas! And I get to play Santa. Have you been a good little human? Let’s see what I have here for you… Ooh, hooray! It’s 20 minutes of Safari video lessons from the last session of 30×500! As I mention in my 2-minute intro, these video lessons are a little bit outdated. Since […]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. Have you ever found yourself mired in this process? Come up with idea! Build idea!

So, one of the major changes that Alex and I are making to 30×500 is to teach our students to create an educational product first. What’s an educational product, or infoproduct?

Another 30×500 ended, a new one just begun… but not quite. The Class… The Legend As you probably know, I developed a course called 30×500.

It’s called Stacking the Bricks, and it’s a no-nonsense look at how 5 businesses got started, and how they grew and are growing — […]

For starters, it gives you a lil taste of the Amy Universe. And who doesn’t want that? Also… inside, I spell out exactly why you have to apply (hint: I’m terribly […]
Let’s talk about money, baby! And where money comes from. Whether it’s funding or acquihires, angels or convertible notes, debt or income, money is the topic we all looooove to talk about (and pretend not to care about). Lemme be straight with you: I love me some money. And I don’t mind admitting it. Growing […]
The Product Revolution is Coming! Hey there, sexy. As you probably know, I’ve got a launch on right now for the 4th round of my 30×500 Launch Class — aka, the coolest, most bullshit-free, most hilarious, most systematic way ever to start & launch your first product.
