I Was Fired From Facebook In My 20s-Now I Make $3.3 Million Running My Own Tech Company
I know Noah personally from the tech community and couldn't be happier for his recent success. Such a humble guy who does right by everyone.
Thank you Chris 🙏
Interesting. According to Glassdoor reviews of App Sumo he's singlehandedly running the company into the ground and treating employees like garbage.
@@noahkaganhey noah I saw you on Iced Coffee Hour then actually met an employee of yours at VidSummit and she had nothing but great things to say about you. You have a very cool story.
@@paultaylor658a bit of an exaggeration. 65% five-star rating, which isn’t bad. I see plenty of good reviews too
does he give to israil
You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
I will love to be your friend dear as well as sharing some i dears which you're benefiting.
Okay but is not luck, is all about having good investment plans most of all trading with a trust worthy expert.
Watching professional trading videos and most especially connecting with the right person the digital world is full of in unreal people I met some of them during my success journey. I felt same way when I started especially when you use demo account you might be winning but when you put in real money you start losing I understand and I pass through it all. I’m very happy I’m profitable now.
Hey how good are your earnings I will like to get some insights into trading thank you.
Currently i can attest to the fact that I
make $18,300 weekly through trading
which is more better then my monthly salary job. Trading becomes my passive
income.
I can relate to all you said becaus am facing similar thing right now.
Congratulations I wish you more success.
If enough people left the giant tech companies, the world will continue to have innovation. Fewer billionaires, and more multi-millionaires, improved and more prosperous economy.
Let us see if you can do it first?
Doubtful. The highest of economic and social elite will still control the monetary system.

False. It's difficult to get funding to get projects started. The few that do end up being purchased by larger companies, which may be the plan for some entrepreneurs to begin with (get bought out by Google, Apple or Facebook)
"It's a good experience to get fired" , well maybe not for leaking information, then paying a developer to copy someone else's work. He has some good idea's, but not all of them.😎
some of the best businesses were just copies of other things
Being honest is also a trait to a better life.
Noah deserves everything! He opened the door for my small business to access circles that I never would have otherwise. Keep going bro! (😂 btw I’ve never heard him speak so slowly. I usually have to slow down the playback on his videos. This is a passionate man right here )
he's a total legend. he gives out so much alpha info on his channel, blog, book and much more. thanks, Noah!
Been a follower of Noah for few yeras now . Lot of his videos provides good insights and helpful in a way to move forward
we on the same boat then
Been watching him all 2023... big youtuber but his niche is competitive (interviewing smart CEO types...)
Cheers Noah.
Crazy to see his face in the cnbc thumbnail..
hope they paid you and not the other way around, Noah 😅
He is flexing that Mazda Miata like it's a Porsche 911 S/T.🤣🤣🤣
If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance but if you want to make your money work for you...prevent inflation
Trading with an expert is really beneficial. This will help you not to lose your money in the trading market.
Jane Roy
My financial advisor , she’s a professional and has helped many become millionaires fr
Tried doing it but never got luck with it 😅
A friend of mine introduced me to Jane Roy in 2018
Then my money grows like grass
His channel is cool, I watch his channel if I want the cliff notes to how someone built wealth, and I watch diary of a ceo if I want to listen to a long form pod
Jobs will pay your bills, business will make you rich but investment makes and keep you wealthy!
Last year, I was working full time, budgeting groceries, unable to afford date nights, and missing time with my kids. Now I learned how to make money online. Now am a SAHM, homeschooling, and making profits every week.
This video got me hooked, and now I’m determined to become a billionaire in just two years! 💪💰
No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more
I've heard alot about crypto currency investments and how effective it can grow your income! Any recommendations on a guide?
Catherine S. Woods is an amazing tutor for crypto. Highly recommended! She’s been my Tutor and Mentor for past solid 8years!
Thank you for sharing ✌
I saw this guy several years ago on his RUclips channel. Now he got his face on CNBC - i'm truly impressed. Thank you for inspiring all of us.😊
This is vidoe is inspirational for poeple who were affected by the mass layoffs!
Enjoy listening to Noah and his YT channel. appreciate him sharing a little about his financial life.
I love uncle Noah, he's massively generous
Great episode. Noah's book is worth every penny and his content is valuable AND entertaining.
Still rocking the NB Miata! You’ve earned my respect fam!
Thank s for sharing
What a comeback. I remember him as the guy who lost out on Facebook. But wow what a way to turn it around. Congrats
Noah is a good man
Taking a break on Saturday from work is underrated. I’m glad Noah and I have something in common
Very cool!
BUY HIS BOOK! Million Dollar Weekend is an instant classic…
What a cool guy Noah is. Would love to meet him one day
I love his RUclips channel ❤
I thought I was just watching Noah on his channel, but then realized he was finally featured on CNBC's Make It
I began investing at the age of 40 primarily by leveraging my hard work and dedication. Now, at 45 years old, I recently achieved a milestone where my passive income exceeded $100,000 in a single month. This success reinforces the importance of following this valuable advice. Take action and make it happen
I understand that tomorrow isn't promised to anyone, but investing today is hard for me now because I have no idea of how and where to invest in. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.
Bruh you look 80 years old in your pic
@@juanjurado8677 that's because of stress levels man
Noah, you are the best!
So is he a developer by trade? Sounds like he didnt create the technical infrastructure for anything, but was on the business/ideation side?
I presume he's a typical business "ideas" guy. Main skill = talking
My OG content creator. He meets the people that matterz....
i love this !
*Great Video! I really do have a question. For someone with less than $10,000 to invest, how would you recommend we enter the crypto market? I am looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What’s your take on this approach*
The key to financial stability is having the right investment suggestions for a diverse portfolio. Many investment failures and losses happen when you invest without proper guidance.
I feel sympathy and empathy for low income individuals who are struggling to survive. If it weren't for my investments with Katrina jornales I wouldn't be where I am today.
Interesting, you also trade with Katrina? That woman has been a blessing to me and my family as well.
This is not the first time I am hearing of this woman and her exploits in the trading world but I have no idea how to reach her?
Love Noah!
Very inspirational. Will follow him. This is like the exact type of thing I'd love to do. Moderate but nice things, just take week off and go travel, but grind on something I'm passionate about every other day! Hope I can find an idea and get to that soon!
Exactly - it's doable. Ideas are easy - you can start today.
@@noahkagan any tips on brainstorming an idea?
I had one idea I pitched at a few competitions before and actually won top 3, but I just don’t see how it’s feasible. At my stage, seems like everything’s done or not possible. I’m 100% being naive though.
Thanks for the response Noah!
Pre-ordered your book a couple weeks ago! Looking forward to the gems of wisdom you’ll share. Congrats Noah 🎉
Good job Noah !
I thought Noah only had RUclips and didn’t know this humble guy is a multimillionaire 🤷🏽♀️
Materialism is bad. If you are constantly buying things just to feel good and not actually using them more than once. But if you buy a plane and fly it often then you are getting your moneys worth.
Great story
I was laid off after 8 months. Now I need to find my path
Awesome!
My great mentor, Uncle Noah🎉🎉🎉
Thanks nephew!!
SO happy for Noah that he's going to become a dad, has a great woman in his life AND that he still drives a wonderful Miata :)
App Sumo in the House 💪🥳
Congrats on the new baby! It’s definitely going to change things up.
Looking forward to it 🎉
he called her his gf tho and not wife/fiance
This Guy is amazing, I follow his RUclips Channel, he makes quality content 😌
Thanks Gyan (:
@@noahkagan yet another crappy youtuber who makes claims about big $$$ yet can't afford non-mortgage home or a new car.
Inspirational ! 👏🏽🎉
He seems like a real chilled stand-up guy
Funny how he said that he's losing money in Real Estate....
Cool video, My relationship of 5 years ended a month ago. The love of my life decided to move on, I really loved her so much i can’t stop thinking about her and the memories we shared. I’ve tried my very best to get her back in my life, but to no avail. I’m frustrated, and i don’t see my life with anyone else. I’ve done my best to get rid of the thoughts, but i can’t. I don’t know why I’m saying this here, but i really miss her and i wish i could get her back.
I have been in such a situation. My relationship ended about three years ago, but i could not let her go. So i had to do all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back. We are back together, and i must say i am enjoying every moment.
Amazing, how did you get a spiritual counselor, and how do i reach her?
Her name is Maurice Gleti, and she is a great spiritual counselor who can bring back your ex.
Thank you for this valuable information, i just looked her up now online. impressive
crazy fake story bots lolll
He looks so young for 41! Legend
Good for you
i love uncle Noah
some of us didn't have these figures growing up
I was also fired by a big Tech, currently been looking for jobs for a year. He is a lucky man, I hope I can be as lucky as he is.
How comes you cannot get a job for one year 😱
It’s not luck, he said it himself that he worked for years to try to become a successful entrepreneur. He lived in a basement and invested everything he could into his ideas. This didn’t happen overnight
I'm sorry about your situation and hope the tide will turn for you soon. Noah's firing happened in 2006, during the boom market when it was much easier to find the next job. Not discrediting his work ethics in any way, but the economy IS a factor
@@stevenj29 It's almost all luck, there were scientific studies done on this topic and hard work actually has almost no influence on success. Otherwise all of us will be millionaires.
@@stevenj29your right, not so much luck (or even hard work) as it is he had connections
This is an excellent piece. This video differentiate gross sales, net revenue and profit.
6:50 genius man
A Miata man. He deserves it all
Love these videos!
Thank you for sharing your story Noah keep up the good work 💪😎
When I saw Richie Rich the movie as a kid, I knew I wanted to be wealthy.
Down to earth! 👍👍👍
I like how simple he thinks.
Dude is not simple, he is very complex and talks to many industry CEO.
I have no idea why he needs a sauna in austin lol
A truly inspiring journey! Two important learnings that stand out to me. The first is how Kagan started Appsumo in the beginning (e.g., hiring a developer at a low cost; promoting the website on Reddit; etc.). The other is his current investment portfolio, which is quite diversified (e.g. he is diverisfying into S&P 500 and global index funds). I took detailed video notes✍on this video on my website in case you are interested.
Love that he’s still a Miata guy
Facts! Lol
Yup!!!
Partner is another way of saying, "never gonna be my wife."
3 milhions in annual salary and at the same time paying mortage..... interesting
He can deduct his mortgage interest from his taxes and let his 3 million work somewhere else invest it. Stock market real estate crypto whatever, it’s actually pretty smart.🤔💡
He said, "I don't work until 12, then I stop working at 6pm" then says "I work 12 hours a day and take one day off, I've been doing that for years" Huuuh???? I bet you he actually works 16 hours a day, lol
I was fired - went back to school got three Associates Degrees and just got my Bachelor’s lol 😅I guess getting fired from jobs is not so bad lol 😂
Same… well, similar. I was laid off (not fired) and now finishing my BA. Already had 3 AA’s. 😊
@@calisongbird congrats 🎉 🍾 🎈 different circumstances but same outcome! Way to go!!! 😃
His dad and step dad were kind of like the book Rich Dad Poor Dad 😮
I follow him on RUclips but I didn’t know he’s already a millionaire 👀
Good guy Noah 👍🏽
Already pre-ordered the book and audiobook
I've actually seen him in other videos before this one
He is a youtuber, animekid 😅
Under water right now unemployed working hard to do an AI sas
"Low salary"
*$200k*
Surgeons with 12-15 years of college education+reaidency: he makes more money than most of us
Thank you for sharing ❤
I am a ceo here in uk and I am at a level I know how to grow my business but at start it was not easy go and I spent a lot of money on social media, business growth and now I am getting it back from my business growth this 2024.
Partner? Should be 'wife'...
wow.....Your story is dope......
0:53 - NOAH, that dual-chaise sofa looks so scrumptious, can I find it retail or was it custom?
that is a company that sells those, pretty sure cnbc even did a flick on it.. forget the name
comfy couches or cozey couches?
He’s living my dream life 😢
Don’t understand how you can make that much money and not be debt free
Just now discovering about Noah for the first time through this video. It's beautiful to see the humble beginnings and display of entrepreneurship through out his journey.
Nice sauna Noah!
Doesn’t he have a youtube channel asking people how they got rich?
Yea
I don’t think having nice things is a problem. I think only valuing nice things and not putting aside some money for taxes, savings, stocks, etc. is what can be a bad thing.
So it's a success story to breach ethics with your company (Facebook), copy other's work (software), and underpay workers (developers)? What's the message here, anything goes?
He learned from the founders of our country.
Love this man. Even tho I’m broke now I still follow him 😂
Swapped out the yellow Miata for a white one. Very cool.
Seems like a really cool guy... drives a modified Mazda Miata, flies planes, has Ping pong arcade machines. Well done!
Thanks Dean. Life has been blessed.
How did you do it?😊😊😊😊😊😊
I feel like there are gonna be lots of lonely single old people who have no kids, just some career accomplishments and few hundred thousands or few millions in their saving account in 2050 (where everything is 10 times more expensive than now so 1 million will probably be the new 200k salary). Cause these millennials and most gen-z don’t wanna have a family at all in this horrible economy, they just wanna have a nice house, a car, a stable life, and building family is a bit too risky financial decision.
Can we talk about that watch he is wearing…what is it?
There's nothing special about appsumo at all.....that's why i don't get it
That’s what I thought too.
“I hope I never retire”…..that hit me hard. That’s gotta to be the most fulfilled you can be in life
The difference b/w gross, net, and proft seems substantial. I'm curious to know what are their operating costs.
I hate being poor. I hate rich people.
Statistically, the likelihood of becoming wealthy is low, so why invest time in watching these videos?
