ICYMI: Episode with Sam

From UCLA student & Club Promoter at 19 to Multi-Founder at 23 (Over $1M ARR)

Sam started as a club promoter at 19.

By 23, he’s Founder of two ventures pulling in 7 figures...

He did not go the traditional path whatsoever.

I sat down with Sam Freeman, UCLA alum and co-founder of:

→ MTRNM — a global house music brand hosting events in airplane hangars, museums (with an exclusive event deal with Natural History Museum), and temples across 10+ countries

→ THE FLAIR COLLECTIVE — a Gen Z marketing agency helping brands like Coca-Cola and Monster reach college audiences in authentic ways

We cover:

🥂 How club promotion opened business doors

📈 What building two companies looks like post-grad — calendar chaos and all

💰 Sam’s finances as an entrepreneur — from managing inconsistent income to using clever tax strats

📬 The best networking frameworks — especially for people without leverage

If you’re exploring what it tactically means to be an entrepreneur after college or trying to build out your financial and networking playbook — there is a lot to learn from Sam.
