I spoke with Logan from Aligned Incentives on how he went from a casual churner to co-founder of a multi-million dollar gift card reselling business. What's that like, and how does it happen? Can anyone do it?
We cover everything, from the origins of his company to how he found his co-founders, to the value of local meetup groups and seminars, his thoughts on financial independence, life and purpose, and advice for churners aspiring to turn this hobby into a scalable business.
π Massive shoutout to Logan for so openly sharing his story. Check out Aligned Incentives or swing by one their upcoming meetups and say hi to Logan in person!
