I interviewed beehiiv CEO Tyler Denk

Memes, newsletters, and millions in Costa Rica 🏝️

Sup nerds

Last week, I was on beehiiv founder Tyler Denk’s founder retreat in Costa Rica.

So we recorded a last-minute beachside convo talking newsletter growth, meme marketing, and going from broke to millions in Silicon Valley.

We talked about:

  • Tyler’s journey from $3 in his bank account to founding beehiiv ($33M+ raised)

  • Wait, newsletters actually make money????

  • Why small teams are THE FUTURE

  • Why embracing being an idiot is a superpower (I’m like the Superman of idiots)

  • How I cold emailed a billionaire to sign up for my software

  • …and much more

WARNING: I didn’t know we’d be recording so I didn’t bring my mic or camera so the audio/video quality isn’t as good as usual—BUT the ideas are better than usual and that’s what’s most important.

Watch here or listen to The Jason Levin Show on Spotify or Apple.

Thanks for reading, nerds. Let’s blow up the internet together.
