Influencer Marketing and Running MULTIPLE Businesses at Once: What You Need to Know with Dan Fleyshman

The Jasmine Star Show

Real talk: Influencer marketing is here to stay, there’s no doubt about it.

But how do you get started? What do you need to know beforehand? And how do you leverage its power to scale your business (without needing millions in capital?)

That's just one of the many (MANY!) reasons I invited Dan Fleyshman, the youngest founder of a publicly traded company and a mastermind in the entrepreneurial world, as a guest on the show.

In our conversation, Dan methodically walks us through his diverse portfolio, showing us how he’s been an angel investor for over 43 companies, including investing in brands and apps through influencers. Dan also shares his success story of launching a store chain (IN THE MIDDLE of the pandemic, nonetheless.)

In this episode, you’ll learn the nuances of influencer marketing and the strategies that have propelled his ventures to the forefront of their industries.
