Money Lab itself is an experiment. Can you build a profitable brand by ignoring all that online marketing bullshit? I believe you can, and I intend to prove it.
Join me as I experiment, test, fail, and maybe succeed in making money online in real time.
To keep me honest, I made up some strict rules for Money Lab. See what they are

Thanks to Amazon, I completely revamped and optimized the Swim University brand in 25 days with new code, new products, and a brand new business model.
I don't want to strive for the middle and build a "lifestyle business." I want to build a media company with high-quality brands in different verticals.
