Hey! 👋 Jeston Lu here.

I created this page to help you land your dream job, pursue permissionless apprenticeship, or host a guest on your podcast - all by sending cold DMs.

Why? From my personal experience (and many others), all it takes is a single DM to change your life. But only if you position yourself in the right way.

I went from knowing ZERO people exactly 1 year ago, and now, I’m in the same rooms as millionaires and recently public pitched my way to work with Alex Lieberman.

This is a resource of all the hidden gems I’ve collected on the Internet. It’s also a work in progress - I’ll be adding more features along the way.

Read from top to bottom - there will be a blueprint at the very end.

Happy DM’ing!
