Linden Chasteen is a YouTube growth strategist who has generated over $30 million in sales for his clients by mastering how to turn video content into revenue streams for info-product creators.
Currently operating from Thailand, Linden’s journey began with a YouTube obsession that saw him wanting to be a creator, which developed into a deep understanding what makes channels not just popular, but profitable.
After transitioning from creator to strategist, Linden discovered that most YouTube experts focus on vanity metrics while he developed systems that convert viewers into paying customers.
Rather than chasing viral moments, he's built a methodology for sustainable, profitable growth in the competitive info-product space.
In this episode, we explore Linden's transformation from YouTube enthusiast to million-dollar strategist, the mindset shifts behind his success, and the lessons from helping others turn expertise into thriving businesses through strategic video marketing.

SooWei Goh has had a rapid start to his entrepreneurial career. At 19 years old, he’s running a consulting business that brings him $100k/m as he helps coaches sell more of their digital products online. Even though he’s young, he’s been in the online money space for years, originally starting out with Instagram theme pages during the first lockdown. Having been told by his dad, a very successful entrepreneur in his own right, that he didn’t have what it took to emulate him at a young age, SooWei went above and beyond to prove him wrong, being very intentional about how he was developing himself to become the type of person that could achieve the kind of success that he envisioned for himself. SooWei pivoted from the IG theme pages by getting into appointment setting, before going into high ticket sales closing as he looked to improve his skill set. A few years of hard work down the line, he transitioned to the info-product space, helping coaches sell more of their offers. His story is one of a rapid ascent. He may have been given the tools and privilege he would need so that he only had to focus on making his business work, but it was through his own hard work, dedication and strategic decisions that he has been able to achieve the kind of success he has had up to this pointTo watch another episode with a young guy who had similar success early on and has taken on a mission to improve the world, watch my conversation with Qasim:https://youtu.be/qPrXwpCY2Do Delusion By DesignYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCjhBsdqHaLc6yXIX3SqW7Ng Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/delusionbydesign/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@delusionbydesign AntonioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/antoniolfamaral/SooWeiYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCZUZ5l2tyq1BrxlnKDR6CSg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sooweigoh/Timestamps00:00 - Trailer01:13 - Who Is SooWei & What Does He Do03:09 - How SooWei Started In Entrepreneurship05:29 - His Experience Starting In Business At 16 In Malaysia 07:14 - SooWei’s Views On Delusion 09:50 - How He Went From IG Theme Pages To Appointment Setting & Sales13:27 - SooWei’s Views On Starting Out In Appointment Setting & Sales15:14 - Why SooWei Started Working With Info-Products17:43 - Why SooWei Has Been Able To Stand Out In The Info-Product Space20:34 - What Enabled SooWei To Make As Much Money So Young23:05 - The Skillset That Levelled Up SooWei The Most25:25 - SooWei’s Childhood Platform To Succeed29:27 - SooWei’s Motivation Today33:03 - SooWei’s Environment Growing Up As He Started35:55 - SooWei’s Mindset To Start Business Young38:36 - His Relationship With The People Who Doubted Him When He Started40:28 - SooWei’s Thoughts On University As A Current Student44:23 - How SooWei Manages His Time In University48:35 - SooWei’s Relationship With Money50:15 - SooWei’s Approach To Networking53:23 - How SooWei Takes Advantage Of Being In Business Young56:02 - What’s Next For SooWei1:00:40 - The Message SooWei Wants To Stand For1:02:58 - Helping His Friends Get Into Business1:05:33 - SooWei’s Advice For His Younger Self1:08:17 - SooWei’s Family & The Impact They Had On Him1:11:52 - Playing The Cards You’re Dealt & Final Thoughts

It takes a very specific of person to want to start a dating app today, and an even more particular type that would name it FitFCK. That person is Jamie Wykes-Hobday. Having raised money from investors and more recently a crowd funding round with Crowd Cube, Jamie has spent the last few years building up the dating platform and building a community around what he’s doing. He’s brought together the UK fitness scene for various events and meet ups between them and built connections (as well as partnered) with some of the country’s biggest influencers. That led him to start the talent management division of what he’s doing. We go deep into his story so far, how he got to where he is, his experience with crowd funding a building a community around his business, and the lessons he’s taken from raising investment from the likes of OnlyFans founder Tim Stokely, and Powerlifting Champion Nathanial Massiah.

ReadeReps decided to start posting fitness content on social media in the summer of 2022. 2 years later and he's grown it to over 400k followers, been sponsored by Gymshark and MyProtein, and has turned it into one of his different income streams. He did this while doing a Master's at LSE and later working a full time finance role by 24 years old. To launch the Delusion By Design Podcast, I sat down with Reade to go through his story, insights and tips he has for others to help understand what his thinking process was that allowed him to get to where he is, and how he executed on a plan to get there. ----------- Antonio's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/antoniolfamaral/ Reade's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/readereps/ Reade's Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@readereps
