Episode 547: James Dumoulin: The Kid Who Built an 8-Figure Business By Asking Billionaires How Much They Make

I live by one rule that has shaped almost every good thing in my career: do the thing first and ask for forgiveness later. Not permission. Forgiveness. The people who wait for the right connection, the right introduction, the right moment, usually end up watching someone bolder walk past them into the room they were trying to get into. That is exactly why I wanted to sit down with James Dumoulin. James is the 23-year-old founder of School of Hard Knocks, the media brand you have almost certainly seen on your feed even if you never clocked the name. He is the guy who walks up to strangers in G-Wagons and Rolexes and asks them how much money they make. That one move, repeated enough times, turned into 48 billionaire interviews, 22 million followers, and an 8-figure business before most people his age have figured out what they want to do after college.
