Young Improfiters, welcome back to the show. And I am smiling ear to ear because today we have an amazing conversation with Rudy Moore. Rudy is the direct response and paid ads king. He knows everything about this topic. And you guys know that I love to talk marketing. So I'm so excited for this conversation because Rudy really knows his stuff.
Now, I've interviewed so many great marketers from Gary Vee to Russell Brunson. And Rudy reminds me of these folks so much because he just truly knows his stuff. He's responsible for so many celebrity brands. He's the genius behind it all. And he's so good at what he does. He really knows the ins and outs of direct response marketing. So I can't wait to pick his brain.
We're gonna learn everything about paid ads, how to make converting ads, how to use psychology, how to create great funnels, how to warm up our leads, the difference between organic traffic and paid ads traffic and how we have to treat that traffic. We're going to talk metrics. We're going to talk LTV. Again, this is truly a masterclass when it comes to direct response.
So without further delay, because I seriously can't wait for this conversation, here's my conversation with the man in red, Rudy Moore. Rudy, welcome to Young and Profiting Podcast.
What's up? It's great to be here.
I'm excited to be here too. I feel like we're going to have so many lessons for all of our entrepreneurs tuning in right now. Rudy, I was doing some research for the show and I found out that you have a goal of becoming a billionaire. And like me, you've been an entrepreneur since your teens. So tell me, why do you have this big audacious goal of becoming a billionaire?
I get asked this question a lot. I think a lot of people think, oh, why does someone need that much money? And I was explaining this yesterday to a friend. If you're a pro athlete, say you play basketball, your goal is to win the NBA. If you're a sprinter, your goal is to win an Olympic gold medal. So I think to me, I'm very competitive. I came from a sporting background.
If I'm in business, to me, the billion dollar mark signifies all the things that I want to create in the world around business. So impact, legacy, changing the world in a positive way, having amazing teams and products. and international reach. All of those things are summarized by building a billion-dollar company. And look, could it be worth $500 million and still do all those things?
Absolutely. Could it be $4 billion or $20 billion and do all those things? Yes. So for me, it's a bigger goal of being the best version of myself, winning what I would class as the gold medal in the sport of business and impacting the world.
