Tim tells the story of helping a friend start a social media marketing scam company out of a WeWork-style space, ripping off businesses for years with no real expertise, using an unpaid NYU intern, under the name ianalyst.com.
- Tim admires startup entrepreneurs who choose to work in offices by the Freedom Tower for inspiration rather than from home.
- Old women working alone in those phone booth pods, piled with papers, are experiencing menopause and life change.
- Tim helped a friend launch a social media marketing company out of a WeWork-type space in the East Village years ago.
- The company's business plan was to sell social media marketing packages to businesses despite Tim and his partner not knowing how to use social media.
- They called up businesses and ripped them off, starting the company without any actual expertise in what they were selling.
- The operation relied on an unpaid NYU intern named Merck, an autistic kid with terrible skin, to handle all the accounts while having no clue what he was doing.
- Tim's scam company successfully ripped people off for two or three years.
- Tim attempts to verify whether ianalyst.com is still operating online.
