What @theschoolofhardknocks Creator Has Learned Interviewing Billionaires | James Dumoulin
James Dumoulin didn't build 21 million followers by putting himself at the center — he did it by flipping the camera. As co-founder of @theschoolofhardknocks, James and his team made one early pivot that changed everything: stop giving advice they hadn't earned, and start extracting wisdom from those who had. The result? A media platform doing over a million dollars a month in revenue, global reach across multiple channels, and conversations with some of the most influential entrepreneurs on the planet.
In this episode, James joins Justin Forman to reflect on what he's truly learning from the world's most successful people — and why the most surprising thing he's discovered is that billionaires still ask questions. He opens up about keeping God at the foundation of everything he's building, the danger of a why-less pursuit of success, and what it looks like to stay grounded when things are moving fast.
Whether you're just starting out or scaling something significant, this conversation is a masterclass in humility, lifelong learning, and building for legacy — not just revenue.
