The 10 Year Overnight Success
"I have been in this space we call online video together with Ash since the early days. He is a pioneer and his leadership and energy for continued excellence is truly unparalleled. WatchMojo is one of the top channels on YouTube today and this is no surprise to me and wouldn't be to anyone else that knows him. Ash didn't get his company there by accident--he is smart, thoughtful, funny, warm and honest and you can expect the same from his book. I laughed a lot (and learned some) as I read this book reflecting along with Ash back to the beginning. There are critical lessons here for anyone passionate about and serious enough for a career on YouTube but willing to enjoy the levity along the way." –– Lance Podell, Director YouTube Spaces

As Karbasfrooshan explains in the book,
Entrepreneurship is hard. We read about the successes, but we rarely
hear about the failures. It may very well be easier to win the lottery than
to get rich by starting a business. I don’t know anyone who has
experienced success without having faced their fair share of adversity.
… when people ask about WatchMojo, I tell them that, “we ran out of
ways to fail.”
