Stop Trying to Be the Expert w/ Gabe Einhorn (Ep #59)

Starting out, Gabe couldn't close a deal. Every veteran told him the same thing: you're too young, you don't know what you're doing, I've been working longer than you've been alive. So he stopped trying to be the expert - and started being the beginner out loud. That's when everything changed. Gabe Einhorn is a New York City founder who turned 62 straight weeks of posting into a real audience across LinkedIn, TikTok, and Instagram, and is now building a startup that matches pre-verified renters to landlords - think "dating app" for renting.
