This is Part 2 of a two-part interview.Ramit Sethi built his personal finance blog up to 500,000+ readers per month (http://www.ramitsethi.com), and has since turned it into a revenue generating monster. I don't use that phrasing lightly. In this episode, we dig into the nitty-gritty tools, software, and experiments he's used to turn a college side project into a multi-million-dollar business with 30+ employees.This episode is brought to you by The Tim Ferriss Book Club.
