EP75: Jason Zook on why he’s selling his future

Jason Zook has a different perspective on life and business. He’s not afraid to try weird and crazy business ideas.

In 2008 he started a business called I Wear Your Shirt. Over 5 years he earned over $1 million in revenue from wearing over 1,600 sponsored t-shirts. Following that business, he sold the rights to his last name (he was Jason Headsetsdotcom and Jason Surfrapp for awhile).

Jason joins me to talk about his new project: Buy My Future. Until October 6 people can buy everything he’s ever created, plus everything he’s going to create, for one price.

He explains the motivation behind the project, and how the launch is going so far (including revenue numbers).

Notable quotes:

I’m asking people to buy into my life’s work, with access to everything I’ve ever created, and everything I will ever create.> A lot of people stifle their own creativity to fit in.> It’s ok to be polarizing. It’s ok to cause a stir. Do something different!

Note from Justin

I had a great time speaking at MicroConf Europe about  Marketing for Developers, my new book. Before I left I had over 100 people buy the beta version. The feedback has been really good. Looking forward to doing the official launch in the next 3-5 weeks. Get a sample chapter here!
