#56 Teen CEO Builds AI Company That Replaces Human Sales Reps | Joey Seeman

He had $300, no tech experience, and a mother willing to take out a loan on faith.

In this episode, I’m with the 17-year-old CEO and Founder who shared his entrepreneurial journey from affiliate marketing hurdles to founding Nova Echo AI, revealing how relentless iteration, pattern recognition, and the willingness to look foolish accelerate success faster than any credential ever could. What’s really stopping you from starting?
