The Impact of Giving Back, Hustling, and Why More Money Doesn't Bring Fulfillment

43 Shares

Often when people start a business the first motive is to get more money, chase the freedom, change the work that they don’t like, or something similar. However, sooner or later, after achieving some of the goals it doesn’t always feel satisfied.

It’s the moment when you want to give back, to contribute to others and make an impact on people’s life.

In this episode, Jacob Baadsgaard talks about the impact of giving back, hustling, and why more money doesn’t bring fulfillment.

After growing one of his first PPC clients from 25 to 250 employees, Jake realized he had a gift for using pay-per-click marketing to drive dramatic business results.

To help more companies succeed online, Jake founded Disruptive Advertising, a PPC, and CRO management agency that has helped hundreds of companies realize unprecedented growth and profitability from the online advertising.

In the four years since its founding, Disruptive Advertising has grown from two employees working in Jake’ s basement to a flourishing agency with more than 120 employees and a run rate of over $18 million – putting it at #145 on the 2017 Inc 500 list!
