👋Hi, I’m Jay Yang. Got a bunch of new followers here, so wanted to reintroduce myself. I believe you don’t need permission to create your own opportunities. When I was 16, I cold-emailed Tyler Denk, the CEO of beehiiv, with a list of ideas on how I could help. That email turned into an internship where I built beehiiv 101—a course that’s helped hundreds of users unlock the platform’s potential. At 17, I sent Noah Kagan, founder of AppSumo, a 19-page pitch deck breaking down gaps in his social media and email marketing—and how to fix them. That landed me a role as Head of Content, where I led campaigns (like the one that made Million Dollar Weekend a New York Times bestseller). At 18, I decided to try my hand at the game of business and scaled a ghostwriting and creative agency to six-figures within its first year. At 19, I self-published my first book You Can Just Do Things, which became an Amazon best-seller, and dropped out of college to work as a social media strategist at Acquisition[.]com on Alex & Leila Hormozi’s media team—where I help write ads, tweets, newsletters, YouTube scripts, and many other things in between. When I’m not working, you’ll find me: - Playing pickup basketball at the local gym. - Picking up and putting down heavy things (roughly 10-12 times). - Working on my second book. - Hanging with family and friends. I started writing on Twitter in 2021 to share what I’m learning about marketing, strategy, and building a life I love. If that tickles your fancy, welcome to my lil corner of the internet. 🤝

The paradox of clarity: you “need” clarity to start, but you only gain clarity by starting.

Stay healthy, love your family, help others, prioritize your peace, and make money. Everything else is a distraction.

Someone needs to write the canonical “how to think about your career when you’re 18 and the world is changing every 6 months” because every parent I talk to is freaking out and so many smart new grads are un(der)employed

I’m convinced being a try hard as a kid directly correlates to winning in business.

I'm the dumbest biohacker at an event of 4,000 people. So I played into it. The dumb shirt funnel smashes

last year we had lunch with @thejustinwelsh Justin has managed to build a life model that gives him infinite optionality give all the love and time needed to the people he loves while also taking care of himself mentally and physically this is very likely the dream of many entrepreneurs most models, will never allow you to reach that level or that lifestyle just know that there are different ways to live entrepreneurship and Justin is a living example of that
Justin Welsh@thejustinwelsh

Work from anywhere. Take a Tuesday off. Go to your kid's game without asking permission. Say no to a bad client. This is the life you're building when you create something of your own.

I don’t want to hang around casual people. Give me the person that has dreams so big it makes others uncomfortable when they say it out loud. Give me the person who spends their weekends obsessing over their craft. Give me the person who doesn't get jealous when those around them are winning. Life is too short to play it cool, give half effort, and accept mediocrity.
