Welcome to Echo Radio!

Where we go over the most effective ways of running an online business so you can work smart and live free.

This is THE podcast for entrepreneurs who want to create, launch, and run an online business WITHOUT years of trial and error.

Hosted by me, Adrien Harrison.

Hello and welcome to all of you devilishly handsome Cats and Kittens, and welcome to another episode of ECHO RADIO where it is my job to share the struggles, joys, failures, and triumphs of anyone who embodies pursuing their passion in some form or another.

We tease out the thoughts, routines, and strategies that have gotten these entrepreneurs to where they are now, so that, YOU, may learn and apply some of their valuable lessons back to your own lives.

This episode is the most amazing and revolutionary to date.

You'll be listening to my interview with Adam Simon of Matryx.ai: A Collaborative Research & Development Engine Optimized for Virtual Reality Interfaces (and potentially the key to future technological innovation on a massive scale)... "whoa", I know.

This interview is so JAM-PACKED with goodness. Originally weighing in at 2h25min raw it's quite the monster, so you may have to listen to it in multiple sittings. Consider yourself entertained for your next 3-4 commutes.

If you're not a fan of listening to the whole thing, I invite you to check out the show notes below (echostudio.co/podcast) or in the episode description if you're listening to the Podcasts app or watching on YouTube to see all the topics discussed with marked time-stamps you can skip to.

Although, for this episode, you should definitely check out the show notes here because they are EXTENSIVE.

There are tons of videos, books, articles, and links, all documented and explained, that you DO NOT want to miss because they play an integral role in understanding the episode and will teach you so. freaking. much.

Adam and I have also prepared an incredibly valuable free resource for all of you dedicated aspiring entrepreneurs as a thank you for supporting us.

It’s called: The Ultimate Product Pre-Validation Calculator.

It’s a worksheet both Adam and I use to test the validity, costs, projected reach necessary and revenue of a proposed product before investing any resources.

That means you can use it to test any and all of your ideas before wasting any time or funding.

On top of that, Matryx’s Token Sale ENDS on Wednesday, November 15th at 10am EST sharp, so if you want to get in on the ground floor before this colossus takes off I would definitely visit matryx.ai before then.

These show notes are like an encyclopedia made especially for the needs of aspiring tech entrepreneurs.

It was an absolute honor and really fun to record, and I'm sure you'll pick up on how much Adam and I got along vis-a-vis our tendency to jump and build on each other's ideas.

SO, now that you're salivating in anticipation as much as I was, I present to you episode four of ECHO RADIO: How to Create Revolutionary Innovation Running a Software Business with Adam Simon of Matryx. Enjoy.
