About this episode
Noah Kagan discusses the importance of setting high standards in business and life, drawing insights from a conversation with a successful entrepreneur.
I just had lunch with someone who sold a billion-dollar company. What stuck with me wasn't the money, it was how seriously he took standards. Not just in his work but through his entire life. This month I talk about what standards really mean, why they're just values in action, and how raising them creates clarity instead of chaos. This is about doing better work, even when things feel messy, and coming out stronger on the other side. In this conversation you'll enjoy 3 BIG things: How to set real standards instead of vague values How to rebuild trust when customers check out Why higher standards actually make decisions easier Enjoy these 3 things plus many nuggets along the way. My book Million Dollar Weekend breaks down how to start a business in simple steps you can do in one weekend. I also send brutally honest emails about business and life.
