In January, Chris and I raised $50,000 for charity 💵

It took 2 hours.

Here's what we did, and how we're going to raise a ton more in the coming months...

We get a lot of emails from entrepreneurs—many of whom are already wealthy and successful—asking to pick our brains 🧠

While we love talking to interesting people, these emails end up becoming a big time sink ⏱️

So, we did something interesting...

In January, we told all The Brain Pickers that we were going to do a paid Ask Us Anything session.

We auctioned off 25 seats for a private Zoom session where anyone in the group could grill us about anything they were curious about 🪑🪑🪑

Seats went to the highest bidders 🤑...

...and we let a few first time entrepreneurs and students in for free too.

All proceeds went to charity and Chris and I matched every donation dollar for dollar.

That's $25,000 in donations for the seats + $25,000 donations from us.

For two hours of work. We were blown away...

So, we're going to do this monthly.

Every month, anyone can bid (for charity) to ask us a question and we'll prioritize those who donate the most.

We're doing our next one on February 3 🗓️
