Meet the Corn and Soybean Farmer Turned Internet Entrepreneur — Ryan Doyle, Founder of Magic Sales Bot

Ryan Doyle (@Ryan___Doyle) grew up on a farm in upstate New York.

He started driving at the age of 11 (and didn't realize that was illegal until a cop pulled him over on the side of a dirt road one afternoon).

Ryan grew up on dial up internet.  In middle school, he got a $40 Korean mp3 player, which was his first real brush with technology. 

In high school, he taught himself and built a couple of e-commerce stores — his grandma didn't understand how his "computer games" could be making him money. 

Tune in to hear the story of:

• how the idea of Magic Sales Bot originated
• how he scaled it to $3,000 in MRR
• how he raised money from @calmfund
• what he's focused on over the next 12 months 

Zero to (point) One is hosted by yours truly, Zach Busekrus (@zboozee).   

I’m an entrepreneur in residence at a marketing firm by day and building my own start up Sponstayneous by night.   

Sponstayneous brings subscribers the best last-minute deals and upcoming steals on Airbnb.  My wife and I co-founded the company while living full-time on Airbnb last year.  

There’s a lot of podcasts out there that feature entrepreneurs:

• once they’ve gone public
• once they’ve had an exit
• or even once they’ve made their first million.  

But not as many that feature the first-time Product Hunt launchers, the Indie Hacker that has yet to go viral on Twitter, or the micro influencer who wants to build their first niche product.   

And there’s where this show comes in.

Zero to (point) One features a collection of ideas that may go nowhere, or just might change the world, from people you've never heard of, who may just become household names.   

A nod to tech founder Peter Thiel's Zero to One framework, Zero to (point) One explores the beginnings of (very) early-stage creators and entrepreneurs whose first chapters are still being written.    

Each guest featured on the show has MRR of $500 - $10k (no more and no less) or has 10k - 100k followers on Instagram, TikTok, or Twitter.   

Come and meet the next generation of builders wherever you get your podcasts every Friday morning.   

If you’d like to be on the show or if you know someone who might be a good fit for the show, send me an email at zach@sponstayneous.com or DM me on Twitter @zboozee.   

Finally, be sure to subscribe — who knows?  You may just meet your future co-founder, your next great investment, or the next Steve or Elon right here.
