Correction at 0:37: Estonia did not gain independence in 1991. Rather, Estonia gained independence in 1918, was illegally occupied in 1940 and REgained its independence in 1991.
ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:
I am the co-founder of soylent.com and lucy.co, both of which were funded by Y Combinator (Summer 2012 and Winter 2018).
I've been an entrepreneur for the last decade across multiple companies. I've done a lot of work in Silicon Valley, so that's mostly what I talk about. I've raised over 10 rounds of venture capital totaling over $100m in funding.
I work mostly in tech-enabled consumer packaged goods, meaning I use software to make the best products possible and then deliver them to the widest possible audience. I'm a big fan of machine learning, python programming, and motion graphics.

The best video on this channel
Sir... The video was sooooo inspiring... The way you represented... And everything seemed coming from your heart which i miss in other channels these days.... Loved the video!!
John when you make videos like this maybe speeak a little slower? and most of all, have so breaks between sentences, its not fun digesting information that quick when its not like a usefull skill but more for onces intrest. look at the way obama speak and do that a little faster :D
A big problem with RUclips has become that some topics are covered over and over again. Your videos almost always provide me with a fresh look at something that I hadn’t thought of before. Thank you for the effort.

Hi guy's I made up to$65, 750 a day

How do I really invest in bitcoin and make huge profits , i'm actually confused here, can someone please help me out
@@heinvu4229 Same here, It's very confusing seeing so many people talk about the profits the make from there investment in bitcoin while I keep dipping from on win to a bigger loss
@@heinvu4229 Typically a financial adviser will just put you into standard/tried and true products that are mostly just index funds and ETFs. This has been a down year to invest. If I were you I'd be investing broadly into the S&P 500 and broader index funds, that way you're instantly diversified and you don't have to worry about it too much. Over time, your investment shall grow, just don't get too focused on the short-term.
Bitcoin investment (fx) can be profitable and lucrative when it is approached as a business, but achieving a level of success is extremely difficult and can take a long time. It's a good idea to fine an expert of this form of investment prior to getting started with. As you can see, the market is open and operates 24 hours a day and almost seven days a week
To venture into the wilderness and establish a new civilization requires bravery and perseverance, but that is the essence of innovation. Also, it is usually preferable to seek professional assistance as opposed to entering an area with little to no background knowledge.
We don't have a monopoly. We have market share. There's a difference. Steve Ballmer
Absolutely, I do agree. It is impossible to overstate the importance of institutional or fundamental financial managers. Markets are not lakes but oceans. As already said, diversification is essential. Consider the fact that I have made my fair share of poor trades and have learned the importance of time, capital, entry, and many other factors. Now that I've been following Yvonne Annette Lively for less than a year, I have a $122k portfolio that has averaged a 12% monthly return. As a result, I am aware of how important basic knowledge and delegation are.
@@maryalchester A recent cbcc feature? where she said that debt and credit were the driving forces behind a booming economy? Yvonne Annette Lively, perhaps? It had a 9% monthly return when I last checked. how does the commission operate?

Great video. We all strive for financial independence and better life. It’s not difficult in achieving this through the right investment, living frugally, and budgeting. I’m glad I learned early in life to work hard for financial freedom
In my opinion, venturing into a good investment is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting it. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely, For this reason, I advise seeking help from professionals(financial advisors). It’s not just watching videos and reading investment books the challenge is using it well
@@Brittany-reeds sincerely, I’m truly inspired by your words. I’m very interested in investing and I have got a good sum of money which I’m ready to put in with the right information. My biggest fear is losing my money on the wrong investment. For this reason, I’m willing to listen to your suggestions and ideas on how to invest wisely.
@@Victoriataylor5668 As an OAP with a lot of experience, I firmly believe that the success of any investment depends on having the right information, regardless of what others say, do whatever you set your mind to. Warren Buffer always says "be greedy when others are fearful and be fearful when others are greedy". This is certainly the trick to succeeding even when others fail. I made $100,000 working with ALICE ELAINE HAYHURST a licensed financial adviser. It’s been a promising experience so far with her.
@@Brittany-reeds Please, how do I connect with your financial planner?

Glad this channel is getting more recognition truly deserved to be big...very underrated in my opinion
This is a very inspiring story about determination and sheer grit. It really shows how much struggle and pain you have to go through on the path to being a successful entrepreneur but I have learned that you should never give up and that all that hard work and dedication is worth it in the end.
LIBERTONCORP is young. Holding almost anything mentioned here is a good hold because the VHS or Beta will only show in time. I want to hold them early. Its sad that most dont think of these things as good future holds instead of being out of the market and bottom hunting. Are we the adopters or are we scavengers? surely one of these layer ones will become the standard and i dont want to sell any of them too early.
I appreciate your videos. Not only do you have interesting topics but also you don't do that clickbaity and manipulated bs that so many other video essay creators do.
RUclips just showed me your channel today for the 1st time. I'm glad they did! Great presentation!
I must say, I am Dutch but visited Estonia a while back…the country really impressed me! It’s super modern, clean and beautiful and the people are great. Also, I think there’s a lot of startups going on.
It has about 1 Unicorn per 300 000 people. There is only 1 million people. Most of Estonia is forest and wildlife (over 50% of land)
You should visit Lithuania as well. Similar development
@@karkevicius I might, definitely want to explore more of the neighboring countries to Estonia! (Except for the biggest one)
Great people?
I live in Estonia and I promise that Bolt is the worst taxi and food delivery app ever....stopped using it long time ago and its absolurtely crazy how he was whining about poor customer service since Bolt has some of the worst customer services ever :D:Dand taxi drivers almost never speak estonian and its very lucky if they even speak english :D
I usually never leave comments, but I absolutely, must say well done on creating this video! Your story telling was sublime and no where a long the way was I left with any lingering questions. Plus your voice. I mean such a privilege listing to you soft and round story teling voice. Absolutly well done!
Thank you for being there LIBERTONCORP when I wanted you to..... I was lost in this new world that I was hassled to start with ....you not only guided me along the way but you also showed me the proper way....whatever little I have been able to achieve in life is because of you today ..... I want to thank you for being there and showing me the proper way of doing thing for me you are my best guide as you truly showed me the way to life....once again , I would like to tell you a heartfelt thanks for being there.
So many specific lessons from this video. Great hidden gem case study John!
Thanks a lot!
Boring video talking about a RICH GUY instead of talking about how to get the same investors or financing to make the same money!
people / youtubers, know that they can praise the other thing without bashing the American thing, right?

My brother,
This video is dope! How I wish I should have discovered your page a bit early. This is pure quality. As an emerging entrepreneur, this page is among the very few pages I want to learn from.
I can't express the gratitude that I feel rn! this video came to me in a time of need thank you so much stranger on YT!
You’re the best John. Got such amazing perspective from this video you made!!!
This mini documentary is so well made, thank you John as always, I now appreciate the company I work for even more. It’s just truly inspiring and I wish everyone who has an entrepreneur dream a huge success, it’s never easy but it’s fucking amazing🔥
Hey so what company do you work for then is it BOLT ?
We deal with new problems every day. It currently acts as the standard. Although at first we thought it was a crisis, we now see that it is a new normal to which we must adapt. Given that 2023 will be a year of severe economic hardship for the entire nation, what steps can we take to enhance income during the quantitative adjustment? After all my effort, I can't let my $800k in savings evaporate.
I don't think there has ever been a better way to understand how to increase your wealth than by working with a knowledgeable portfolio advisor who has access to a variety of markets and can conduct research on them. Investing is obviously impacted by the value of the US dollar in a number of different ways.
I think it's great to use a portfolio advisor when investing. Prior to engaging with a licensed portfolio advisor just before the pandemic meltdown in March 2020, I was actually having financial nightmares. To sum up, with the assistance of my advisor, I have already grown my initial $120,000 investment to over $750,000..

@@obodoaghahenry9297 I got out to "Julie Anne Hoover," who I discovered in a CNBC interview where she was mentioned, and she is directing me. Since then, she has offered entry and exit points for the securities I am interested in.
I guess sometimes being the biggest player can have strategic downsides, but only if your competition is clever and hungry enough to exploit the weaknesses.
Great documentary! I am from Poland, but I have been in Estonia a few times and it is amazing how this little country is growing its IT industry :)
wow what a video MAN great one ! Thank you for bringing Marcus
Im in love with your content the way you talk the way you show those stories god damn

Great coverage. I'm from Kenya & its quite the experience.
This is a masterpiece. Amazing video! and fantastic wordplay.
I'm inspired to take my business directory app to the next level. Thanks for sharing Marcus with the world.
Very inspiring story. Beautfully narrated and edited. Love it!
This was a great video John! Thanks a lot! What a great story
Skype was actually founded by Niklas Zennström, from Sweden and Janus Friis, from Denmark (picture of them in the video). But, the first software was later developed by Estonians programmers.
Yep, Janus made the prototype, while Niklas tried to find investors. Skype is no more Estonian, than Apple is Chinese.
Finding investors didn't gather the success they had hoped, and not nearly enough, to hire a whole team. So they then hired Estonian developers Zahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu and Jaan Tallinn for no salory, but a stake in the company instead, and outsides some of the more rudimental coding to an Indian company to finnish the Alpha version.
But somehow where 3 of 5 owners lived, made it an Estonian company. WHich many estions for some reason are really proud of.
@@herrensaar1989 your story is missing Kazaa. Jaan Tallinn, Niklas Zennström, and Janus Friis were all working together on Kazaa before Skype already. Skype's P2P tech is based on Kazaa. The truth is that no single country can claim the whole founding. Attempts to pull it in such a direction are wrong.
Also your comparison with Apple+China is extremely misleading as well. China only does the assembly of the phones. The design and even the manufacturing of the chips doesn't happen in China. For Kazaa/Skype, the full production cycle happened in Estonia. The design, the architecture, the programming. The Skype headquarters was in Estonia. Apple headquarters has never been in China.
Thanks sharing. For someone who does not like to follow actuality, it's very cool channel to follow.
Bolt was actually a startup that entered a startup competions show called "Ajujaht" seson 3, where they got to the finals. In it they were called Taxify.
Inspired. Thank you John, thank you very much.
beautiful video. I never knew the founders of Bolt but over here in Nigeria Bolt is a very popular thing. especially the younger generation, nobody wants to use the regular cabs anymore. I feel inspired watching this video as I have ideas of my own but I just keep trying to make it work and I won't give up.
Dude this video is a gem you are amazing at what you are doing, I hope I can see another video on someone else similar to this guy and see how they problem solved their way up!!
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

Welcome back john ☺️ missed your video
Wow I loved this story mainly because I was just in nigeria several times this year and I never heard of bolt until this year I had no idea how popular it was. Everyone around me was even shocked that I used Uber and when I started using bolt, I got faster rides like they were always around the corner. Crazy. Good story man!!
so good content. this video was sooo well researched.

Very well explained man. Thankyou
damn, what a timing. i recently started my logo/graphic design brand and was wondering how can i have a chance while all these big names are in the game. thought it's too saturated for a new name to rise up and make something out of itself. but now with this well documented video i realized the saturation of a market doesn't matter. as long as you are willing to fix the current problems and are dedicated to to the craft, eventually you get your results.
Great video. Thank you for the content
Awesome video we could all really learn a thing from Marcus
Nice video, its like short documentary.
Keep going :)
Actually, European VCs these days kinda go to Estonia to hunt for young, hot startups. I believe it has the highest number of VC funding / capita in Europe
I think you'd find quite a few good stories from Estonia. We have the most unicorns per capita and have been really technology focused since regaining our independence from the soviets in '91 (but no, we don't have wifi in the forest😅).
P.S. props to you for the correction you made to the video about us regaining our independence. Greetings from Estonia!
What I think Americans mean by Wi-Fi is Cellular Data.

Your storytelling is incredible
Always waiting on your latest video @JohnCoogan You Will soon be sharing your own successful story as a RUclipsr, I hope! The transition from your first videos to what you got going now are just as inspiring for me as the stories shared on your channel.

My biggest financial mistake was being only 12 years ago during the 2008 financial crisis and nowhere near prepared enough to scoop up some cheap stocks and real estate maybe
People prefer to spend money on liabilities,Rather than investing in assets and be very profitable.
You're so correct! Save, invest and spend for necessities and a few luxuries relatives to on's total assets ratio.
I invested in both stock and Cry ptő but I'm doing much better on Cry ptő with the favourable market price
Having professional mentor you is also very important when it comes to trading, without proper mentorship, one tends to opt out of the market early enough. I do my investment on Mrs Lauren platform.
I know Mrs Lauren I met her at a conference in carlifornia 2019 where she introduced us her business strategy, she helped me cover my bank loans..
Damn, good research. Keep it up.
already subscribed but add the notification bell too, forgot how good your videos are.
thanks a lot for the video!)

I will forever appreciate this channel, you’ve helped me and my family a lot, your videos, advice and lessons are inspirational helpful to us,
I now earn every week. You’re such a blessing to this generation, we all love you.
I can share some that helped me,
Plan towards it
Be minimal in spending
Save money wisely towards retirement
Save to invest, it’s proven way to get richer.
There are lots of investing options ( real estate, stock , gold silver, cryptocurrency).
A lot of people are rushing into trading without the knowledge of how it works and it’s very wrong, I will advise you to trade with an expert.
I know of Expert Naomi.
She is a crypto prodigy and has handled my trade for 6 months now…. I have made over $8000 in my first week of trading.
I was 11 when I started learning to program but due to my studies, I couldn't manage it side by side. Now, I have started to home-school instead of going to school to waste time. I hope this plan works well. I wish all my friends the best of luck on their journey!
Being a child is not wasting time. We are human and not profit machines… Live a little and enjoy your childhood, teenage years and later on adulthood.
Quality content as always..
Great information, Thanks 🙏🏽
great video it really motivated me to start
Well articulated
Proud of them! My cousin has been them from almost the very start. And I use their taxi service app to this day. At least few times a month if not more. It's very convenient. Especially not having to call anyone.
This is impeccable storytelling
This video inspires me to actually believe in myself and do my thing
2:48 As companies achieve success their founding stories often get turned into myths which hide the truths about their messy beginnings. So true.
