Kenny Brooks, better known as the Funny Salesman, turned door to door sales, viral content, and relentless determination into an eight figure business.

In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, Kenny reveals how his video reached more than 300 million views while someone else made nearly $800,000 from it, why he was still broke after going viral, and how he eventually began earning up to $200,000 a month through content and product sales.

He also shares how he went from homelessness to working with celebrities like Timberland and Kevin Hart, why his company turned down a $10 million offer, and how he is teaching his children to become entrepreneurs at an early age.

This conversation proves that going viral is only an opportunity. Learning how to sell, execute, and monetize your attention is what changes your life.
