Seth Kniep has a remarkable entrepreneurship origin story.
He found himself working at Apple, leading a 20-person team of tech support advisors.
But he was miserable, working as a cog in the world’s most valuable company.
Fascinated with an idea, he went about doubling one dime 20 times. He shared his vision with random strangers & asked them to double his dime. He turned it into $400, just by asking.
Discouraged, $24,000 in debt, and living the death-by-paycheck cycle, Seth believed in a better future for himself & his family. He poured his heart into learning online eCommerce.
In 2016, Just One Dime was born, based in Austin.
He began teaching & training people how to sell on Amazon.
He’s trained multiple students to become Amazon eCommerce millionaires.
Amazon even flew him to its Seattle HQ for his consultation on improving their third-party platform.
Now his company builds Amazon stores for people who don’t have time to do it on their own. It’s a turnkey service, and they share the revenue.
Seth has recruited & leads a team of over 100 at Just One Dime. In this 20-minute conversation, he reveals how he puts a Rockstar in every seat.

The couple quit their jobs, drove cross-country, and setup shop in Utah.
