This Is What Persistence Looks Like
A few months ago I found myself down a deep rabbit hole of @YoniSmolyar IG content.
Ended up watching ALL of them and totally blown away by how it started vs. how it was going.
Yoni was building and failing in public and documenting everything. One video would highlight a super cool new business idea and a handful of videos later, you’d see the not so pretty results.
There’s beauty in the transparency. An authenticity that makes you want to watch more and see how it turns out.
His first videos were gnarly, but his relentlessness prevailed and now he’s CRUSHING it.
So freaking cool to see the results of someone that JUST DIDNT QUIT.
Yoni is a solid follow on all platforms. If you need a good content binge, get out his IG
i got over 50 million views on instagram this year by posting videos every single day

This was my initial analysis commenting like a fanboy on his post in April
Yoni, what’s up man! I legit just did a major deep dive on your content and I’m so impressed! I feel like I have a million questions for you but first, I’ll share this deep dive. FYI, verrry raw and in edited. Literally just pasting my notes that I took.
