Bubba Page borrowed $5,000 from his parents to join a six-founder BYU startup, sold his stake two years later for a 10x return, and got paid half of it in office chairs (everyone in his family got one for Christmas). From there he bootstrapped LaunchLeads, a tech-enabled sales company, to multiple millions and the Inc. 5000, won Utah's Google Startup Weekend, went through Techstars Boulder, and raised $1.25 million for Outro, a double-opt-in referral platform built on LinkedIn data. Then LinkedIn changed its platform and cut Outro off at the knees. Bubba tells John and Tyler what that failure did to him ("I lost myself in this process"), the investor who said "we'll invest in you again," and the lesson he wants every founder to hear: don't tie your business to someone else's platform. Plus: why trial and error is too expensive a teacher, the three questions that make anyone feel like you're their best friend, why every student should be on LinkedIn, how he runs Influence VC as an AngelList syndicate of 200 angels backing consumer brands with influencer expertise, why he dropped "Brant" and went back to "Bubba," and the legacy he wants to leave behind: faith, family, and building abundance without losing what matters most.
