How Nick Huber Built a Multi-Million Dollar Empire with Social Media and "Boring Businesses"
May 29, 2025
In this episode of Confessions of a B2B Entrepreneur, host Tom Hunt sits down with Nick Huber, founder of Bolt Storage and Somewhere.com, to uncover how he leveraged social media to raise over $40 million and build multiple seven-figure businesses. Discover Nick's "sweaty startup" philosophy, emphasizing executing common business models exceptionally well rather than chasing novel ideas, and how radical transparency on platforms like Twitter transformed into tangible business success. This conversation provides invaluable insights for anyone looking to build a personal brand, scale traditional businesses, or convert online influence into real-world opportunities. Nick shares his strategies for managing multiple ventures simultaneously, his unconventional path to entrepreneurship, and why focusing on "boring" businesses can often outperform trendy tech startups.
