EP | 710 - $500/Month to $680K/Year: How Camden, a College Dropout, Built a Coaching Business Without Ads, a Big Following, or Burning Out

Author: Erin Dimond and Jordan Dugger January 19, 2026 Duration: 31:09

If you want to build a business that gives you freedom, flexibility, and a life you don't grow to hate, listen to this ASAP.

Today I'm sitting down with Camden Mamian - someone who's been in our world for a while now, and his story is absolutely insane. We're talking college dropout, making $500 a month in 2022... to now closing in on $700K this year. Ocean-view penthouse in San Diego, 12K on Instagram, and a business that actually gives him his life back.

But here's what I love about Camden's story - it's not clean. It's not perfect. He's had to fight through real constraints, money mindset stuff, and figuring out what it actually takes to scale past $500K. So if you're anywhere between $5K and $50K a month and you're wondering what the next level actually looks like... this one's for you.
