Justin Moore — Becoming a Sponsor Magnet — The Bootstrapped Founder 376

Published 5 months ago • 1 min read

​

​

Dear founder,

​

Justin Moore (@justinmooretfam) knows a thing or two about sponsors.

He's responsible for dozens of episodes of this very podcast to be sponsored! And what he taught me, he'll teach you.

​

I was VERY hesitant when I started looking at sponsors. I thought that would dilute my brand. Make me a sellout.

But that's a self-limiting belief — and Justin will give you the tools to profitably reprogram your mind to embrace alignment and value-added sponsorship relationships for whatever you do.
