Welcome to Cubicle to CEO, the podcast where we ask successful founders and CEOs the business questions you can't google. I'm your host, Ellen Yin, every Monday go behind the business and a case study style interview with a leading entrepreneur who shares one specific growth strategy they've tested in their own business, exactly how they implemented it, and what the results and revenue were. You'll also here financially transparent insights from my own journey bootstrapping our media company from a $300 freelance project into millions in revenue.

Hello, everyone, welcome back to the show. Today, we have Ben Angel here with us. And I am very excited because as you know, we don't have a lot of male guests on our show. But when Ben's case study came across our desk, both my producer and I thought we have to have been on the show, not only to talk about AI, which is more relevant than ever, in today's social media and business landscape, but also because I think that all of us as business owners, and as brands want more visibility and want to get in front of new audiences. And I think Ben's case study is especially relevant to that today. So anyways, Ben, welcome to the show.

So I am so honored. You've led me on this show. I saw your first podcast, I think it was with Amy Porterfield. And you just have the best interview style.

Oh, thank you. That means a lot. Really it does especially coming from a content superstar and mogul like you. You know, normally with our show, we start off by asking people their Cubicle to CEO story. And I would love still for you to share your catalyst for how you leapt into entrepreneurship. But I think even more interesting is the genesis of your relationship with Entrepreneur magazine. I remember reading about it and it's it's so random. It's not something you would expect for how you became a contributor. So anyways, if you want to share either story, or both, we are here for it.
