Episode 85 - Jay Aigner on Doing It All



Hey smart humans, my inspiring smart guest on this Episode, Jay Aigner most definitely doesn’t stick to one thing!

Jay's life is a whirlwind of activities. He credits his upbringing in a rural area, where boredom was not an option, for instilling in him a constant need to find something to do.

His hobbies range from flying planes, which helps him overcome his fear of heights, to playing video games and cooking with his daughter.

He has founded and currently runs a multiple-million dollar business, JDAQA.com with over 60 employees across 3 hubs.

He has his own podcast - The First Customer - where he interviews founders about their business and how they got their first customer.

And he creates the most stunning astrological images.

So piloting. Ice Hockey. Astrophotography. Running a multi-million dollar business. Five kids - and a sixth one on the way. Oh, and there’s a dog too!

How is this even possible?

Well, you’re about to find out.

During our deep dive into entrepreneurship and keeping life interesting with a smart mind, we talk about things like:

  • the importance of sleep (yes! Jay still sleeps!)

  • trusting people

  • following your passions

  • the joy of giving

  • taking risks,

  • how to build communities 

  • freedom

  • money

and much, much more. Oh - and we bust some goal myths along the way.
