Hi, I’m Jay Yang.

I believe you don’t need permission to create your own opportunities.

When I was 16, I cold-emailed Tyler Denk, the CEO of beehiiv, with a list of ideas on how I could help. That email turned into an internship where I built beehiiv 101—a course that’s helped hundreds of users unlock the platform’s potential.

At 17, I sent Noah Kagan, founder of AppSumo, a 19-page pitch deck breaking down gaps in his social media and email marketing—and how to fix them. That landed me a role as Head of Content, where I led campaigns (like the one that made Million Dollar Weekend a New York Times bestseller).

At 18, I decided to try my hand at the game of business and scaled a ghostwriting and creative agency to six-figures within its first year.

At 19, I dropped out of college to work at Acquisition.com on Alex & Leila Hormozi’s media team where I helped run the marketing campaign for $100M Money Models which broke a Guinness World Record and made $106M in 3 days.

I also self-published my first book You Can Just Do Things, which became an Amazon best-seller.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me:

• Playing pickup basketball at the local gym.

• Picking up and putting down heavy things (roughly 10-12 times).

• Working on my second book (you can read my first one here).

• Wearing my swag merch 😎

• Hanging with family and friends.

I started this blog in 2021 to share what I’m learning about marketing, strategy, and building a life I love. Every Sunday, I share a quick dose of inspiration delivered directly to your inbox. Join 10,000+ readers on my email list. Don’t worry, I don’t bite :)

Some kind words people have said about ya boy:
