Welcome to First Class Founders, your favorite destination to learn proven strategies to grow your business.

Ever wonder what it’s like to grow a successful creator business, only to lay off half of your staff just a month after your proudest moment as an entrepreneur?

Today, we chat with Khe Hy, Founder & CEO of RadReads.

Khe Hy and I have A LOT in common. Khe is also the son of immigrant parents, And, like me, Khe also decided to quit his Wall Street finance job to venture off into entrepreneurship. My conversation with Khe was illuminating and I found his life to be a rich treasure trove of stories and life lessons.

I spoke to Khe about his journey of becoming an entrepreneur and the places it led him over the years... from being one of the youngest Managing Directors at the prestigious private equity firm BlackRock to starting his own newsletter, to quietly offering his services as a business coach, to becoming the founder and CEO of his own company, RadReads.

He also opened up about what it was like to have his proudest moment as a CEO to his worst within only a month, laying off more than half of his entire staff.

How is he planning to recover from this?

I speak to Khe about:

  • 🏄🏻‍♂️ How NOT to Live a Life Deferred

  • ❌ Why He Decided to Scrap His Next Course

  • 🙌🏻 How He Became an Accidental Entrepreneur

  • 🔮 Present & Future State of the Creator Economy

  • 📉 How He’s Planning to Navigate the Upcoming Recession
