Interview Q&A
Me: “How did you launch your tech company? What principles helped you start?”
Devin: “My success has come from the knowledge I gained from just talking with the right people.”
“Another big thing is having the servant mentality. “How can I help you? How can I connect you with others?”
Me: “What’s the best way to connect with people?”
Devin: “Know who’s who in the room. Find the 3-5 “ballers” in the room by observing or talking with the right people. Take those 3-5 guys out for a steak dinner and offer help; that’s how you network.”
“I love the saying, a closed mouth doesn’t get fed. You need to put yourself out there. If you want to launch a big fund, you need to take massive action; you can’t be too cautious.”
“Make a sell, make a commission, make a friend, make a fortune.”
Me: “What’s the average cost for an MVP for a simple tech company?”
Devin: “Ours was $10k.”
Investing in the Metaverse
Me: “What are your thoughts on metaverses? Which strategy is best?”
Devin: “Diversify, diversify, diversify. One of them is going to be the winner, so spread out your investments.”
Me: “As far as investments, what’s one thing that you are very bullish on for the next 18-24 months?”
Devin: “Definitely NFTs, nodes, crypto, web 3.0, and I’m getting started in some real estate. If you’re not in these tech investments, then you are so far behind; it’s the future.”
Million Dollar Advice
Me: “To wrap it up, what’s the one piece of advice you would give to this audience?”
Devin: “The one thing that has changed my business career is this set of principles: leave your ego at the door; make a sell, make a commission, make a friend, make a fortune.
“Be a servant leader and serve others.”
Thanks, Devin! Give him a follow on Instagram and LinkedIn and keep an eye out for the release of his book, “How to Make Your Net Work.”
