038: How Sam Franklin Created A 7 Figure Digital Stationery Company From His College Dorm




The My Wife Quit Her Job Podcast With Steve Chou show

Summary: Today I have the honor of interviewing Sam Franklin, the founder of Greenvelope.com. What's cool about Sam is that he started his digital stationery company while still in college and he bootstrapped his entire business by working odd jobs. And here's the thing. When he first started out, he did not know a thing about graphic design. He did not know a thing about websites or ecommerce. In fact, he learned most of his skills through sheer hustle and by taking online training classes on Lynda.com. Sam's story just goes to show that if you have the desire, you can learn how to do anything and start a seven figure business when you have no money or experience. Enjoy the interview!
