It grew to be the #1 place people learned the dance style of 'popping' online, and although it never became a seven-figure operation, it allowed Adrian to quit his 9-to-5 and learn about entrepreneurship and building something on his own terms.  Adrian went viral on TikTok in 2020 while living in his van and transparently showing how he was making over $100K a month on only one day of Wi-Fi a week. Today, Adrian is an active affiliate for over 500 different companies, owns a digital marketing agency with 20 employees, makes multiple seven figures in revenue, lives life on his own terms, and teaches people how to think differently about money, success, and freedom. ➡️ Show Links https://www.instagram.com/brambilabong/ https://x.com/brambilabong/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrianbrambila/  ➡️ Books https://www.amazon.com/dp/1394276524  ➡️ Podcast Sponsors Hubspot - https://hubspot.com/   Stan - https://join.stan.store/scottdclary Business Made Simple Podcast - https://businessmadesimple.com  NetSuite — https://netsuite.com/scottclary/  Indeed - https://indeed.com/clary Range Rover Sport - https://www.landroverusa.com/  CIBC Innovation Banking Podcast - https://www.innovationbanking.cibc.com/podcasts/  LinkedIn Jobs - https://linkedin.com/excellence ➡️ Talking Points 00:00 - Intro 02:58 - Entertainment Lessons for Business 12:25 - Leaving the 9-to-5 Grind 14:50 - The FIRE Movement Explained 20:49 - Why Minimalism Matters 24:39 - Pros and Cons of Minimalism 27:42 - Business, Minimalist Style 31:36 - Sponsor: Business Made Simple Podcast 32:07 - Adrian’s Outsourcing Formula 40:17 - Think Like the Rich 44:11 - From Scarcity to Abundance 47:28 - The Power of Locus of Control 54:36 - Adrian’s Take on Success 1:02:20 - Sponsor: Range Rover Sport 1:03:55 - Real Talk on Entrepreneurship 1:07:07 - Adrian’s Career Highs and Lows 1:19:15 - Picking a Great Affiliate Offer 1:27:20 - Crafting Killer Social Media Ads 1:31:18 - Adrian’s Final Wisdom 1:33:22 - Rethinking Status Symbols 1:35:24 - Advice for My 20-Year-Old Self Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
