Houston Golden is the founder and CEO of BAMF.com — a growth marketing agency based in Venice Beach, CA.

BAMF is known as the world's leading LinkedIn marketing agency for a reason— they get results. 

With over half a billion organic LinkedIn views, our clients are the most viewed people on LinkedIn. If you’ve spent any time at all on LinkedIn, you’ve seen their posts.

They are the masterminds behind some of LinkedIn’s top influencers and entrepreneurs, including Russell Brunson, Rob Dyrdek, Prince Ea, Mark Manson, Jay Shetty, and dozens more.

But, beyond that, Houston is most passionate about helping smaller entrepreneurs make it big, whether it’s by turning them into industry influencers and lead generation machines, or putting them in a position to hit massive growth.

Houston has authored 5 books on the subject of LinkedIn, known as The LinkedIn Bible Collection, been featured in countless high-profile publications, consulted for Fortune 500 companies, and still remains to be an avid surfer and all-around family man. 

He does all of this because he, too, started out as a struggling entrepreneur before turning $0 in seed capital into a business that’s worth millions of dollars.

From bootstrapping to being recognized as one of Forbes’ Top 12 Innovative Founders. It’s been a wild journey for him.

Jamie Siminoff turned “no” into a billion-dollar exit.

His smart doorbell idea, Ring, was passed on by every investor.

Too early.

Too niche.

Not worth it, they said.

He went back to work.

Tweaked the product.

Built a community.

Stayed in the game.

Then Amazon bought it for over $1B.

Years later, he walked back into Shark Tank.

Not to pitch, but to invest.

The same door that closed… opened a better one.

Rejection doesn’t mean stop.

It means not yet.

Keep building.

The plot twist is coming.

The internship detailed below led to my employment in the promotions department of 98*7FM. As a member of the promotions team, I helped organize our flagship Hollywood Tower Penthouse events with numerous big names in the alternative rock industry such as Cee Lo Green, Linkin Park, Jimmy Eat World, Vampire Weekend, Temper Trap, Mumford and Sons, and more! 

I worked with other members of the promotions team on 98.7FM sponsored events at venues all throughout the Greater Los Angeles area, including Vans Warped Tour 2010, US Open of Surfing at Huntington Beach, Sunset Strip Music Festival, Rock ‘n Roll Expo, Dodgers Games, and many more sponsored events. 

The daily aspects of my promotions job would vary depending on the events scheduled each week, but I worked every Saturday and Sunday at our broadcast from LA Live (Staples Center), and every Monday I was assigned to a different bar which our station would sponsor for Monday Night Football. www.clearchannel.com or www.987fm.com

I’LL MAKE YOU A LINKEDIN INFLUENCER.   𝗕𝗔𝗠𝗙.𝗰𝗼𝗺   LinkedIn’s Golden Child. Half billion views. Forbes Top 12 Innovators. Author of The LinkedIn Bible. My kids say I’m hilarious.

A quiet reminder:
​
Some people are holding it together with tape and coffee.
​
They show up with a smile, meet deadlines, laugh at jokes.
​
But their world might be heavy right now.
​
Not every storm is visible.
Not every strong person feels strong.
Not every kind gesture is small.
​
Compassion doesn't cost anything.
​
But it changes everything.
​
Be the reason someone’s day gets a little lighter.
​
Even if it’s just a nod.
​
A “you good?”
​
A bit of grace.
​
The world’s hard enough already.
​
Let’s not add to it.

Risk assessment is a real skill.
​
Some people just learn it the hard way.
​
Like this thief who sized up the job, made a move, then quietly reconsidered when the math stopped matting up 😂
​
Even chaos has logic.
​
You just gotta know when to fold.

Checking a zero balance and realizing...
​
it all went somewhere that mattered.
​
That's not failure.
​
That's just adulting with integrity.
​
The reset always comes.
​
Keep going.

Nobody's handing out happiness.

You kind of just... build it yourself.

From small things.

Quiet things.

Things that don't cost much but somehow mean everything.

That's not a consolation prize.

That's actually the whole point.

Some seasons aren’t about growth.
​
They’re about holding the line.
​
Paying the bills.
Keeping the team together.
Shipping something, anything, just to stay in motion.
​
It doesn’t feel inspiring.
​
But it is resilience.
​
The stories we admire most?
​
They’re built in the quiet chapters.
​
The months no one claps for.
​
If you’re still showing up, still trying, that matters more than you think.
​
Not every step has to be a leap.
​
Keep going.

That moment you realize the new guy definitely stretched the truth on his resume.
​
Then you watch him stay late every single night for two months straight, quietly figuring it out.
​
Turns out the gap between who someone is and who they want to be isn't always a red flag.
​
Sometimes it's just someone betting on themselves before anyone else would.
​
The ones willing to grind through that gap are usually the ones worth keeping.

Not everyone who leaves a stable job is running away from something.

Some are just running back to themselves.

The 9-5 wasn't a failure.

It was a detour.

One that probably taught more than expected.

But when the entrepreneurial itch comes back, it doesn't really leave until you scratch it.

So why not now.

Somehow, it just clicks.
​
One day you're stressed about timing,
​
Plans falling through,
​
Things not making sense...
​
Then, without warning, something small lines up.
​
A person, a decision, a moment.
​
And you realize it had to go this way.
​
The job you didn’t get?
The trip that got delayed?
The season that felt like a mess?
​
All of it quietly moved things into place.
​
I used to think I had to control every step.
​
But now I try to trust the weird detours.
​
Because more often than not, life connects the dots backwards.
​
And when it does, it’s pretty beautiful.

Entrepreneurs are crazy.
​
When the flight’s canceled, they drive.
​
When the supplier ghosts, they find a workaround.
​
When the budget’s gone, they still launch.
​
It’s not always glamorous.
​
Sometimes it’s duct tape and a borrowed laptop.
​
Sometimes it’s asking for help when pride says don’t.
​
But the throughline?
​
They just keep going.
​
Adjusting, adapting, improvising.
​
Not because it’s easy.
​
Because the mission still matters.
​
Entrepreneurship isn’t about having the perfect plan.
​
It’s about making progress anyway.

I thought starting a business would feel like unlocking a secret level.
​
What it actually felt like was:
​
forgot my login
spilled coffee on my laptop
got ghosted by a designer
then launched anyway with a janky version at 1am
​
It wasn’t smooth.
​
It wasn’t cinematic.
​
But it moved.
​
And sometimes that’s the whole point.
​
Keep moving.
​
Fix it later.
Laugh at it later.
But go.
​
You don’t need a perfect start.
​
You just need a real one.

A multimillionaire investor's advice to people in their 20s?

Stop trying to get it right.

Start trying to get it real.

Raoul Pal says your 20s are made for bold experiments, not perfect plans.

Fail fast. Learn faster.

Balance comes later.

Right now, just explore.

Honestly?

Pretty refreshing advice in a world that glorifies having everything figured out at 23.

Sometimes you just need someone in your corner.

Not to fix things.

Not to have all the answers.

Just to remind you that you're not crazy for trying.

For me, that’s been my wife more times than I can count.
My kids, without even knowing, remind me why I keep pushing.
And my family, who always makes me feel like I’ve got a safety net.

I’ve also had friends, coworkers, even random people say something small that turned my whole day around.

It doesn’t take much to lift someone.

A message.
A moment.
A little belief.

If someone’s done that for you lately, tell them.

They might not even realize how much it helped.

Sometimes being an entrepreneur just means waking up to a problem you didn’t plan for…

and solving it before breakfast.

No playbook.

No heads-up.

Just a surprise curveball and a decision to make.

It's not the glamorous part.

It doesn’t make it to the highlight reel.

But it’s where the muscle gets built.

The calm after the chaos isn’t luck.

It’s a skill.

A quiet kind of grit that says:

“Didn’t see this coming. Still here. Let’s go.”

Success isn’t always about scaling fast.

Sometimes it’s just about staying steady when the unexpected hits.

And doing it again tomorrow.

What do you do when you accidentally buy a town?
​
Turn it into a dinosaur park, apparently.
​
Mark Cuban bought Mustang, Texas for $2M, mostly because it was the only town for sale.
​
Then connected the dots to Dino Don, his Shark Tank investment building life-sized animatronic dinosaurs that've wowed over 5 million people.
​
The result?
​
Dinosaur, Texas.
​
A literal Jurassic Park vision coming to life.
​
Wild what happens when curiosity meets capital.

Plot twist: having a plan doesn't mean life will follow it.
​
And somehow, the most growth happens in the moments that went nothing like expected.
​
Losing control of the script isn't failure.
​
It's usually just the beginning of a better one.
​
Stay loose.
​
Stay curious.
​
The detour might be the whole point.

Bad week. Bad month. Might even be a bad year.
​
But watch an entrepreneur in that season.
​
They're annoyed.
​
Tired.
Still moving though.
​
Not because they've figured it out.
​
But because stopping genuinely doesn't feel like an option to them.
​
That kind of optimism isn't naive.
​
It's just built different.

I used to think confidence came after you achieved something.

But lately, I’ve realized…

It usually shows up because you decided to try anyway.

Even when you’re unsure.

Even when you don’t feel ready.

Most of the people you admire didn’t wait until they “felt” like experts.

They just started acting as if they belonged in the room, and slowly grew into it.

Not pretending.

Just choosing to show up as if it’s possible.

That shift changes everything.

People start trusting you more when you start trusting yourself, even a little.

So if you're waiting for permission... this might be it.

Opportunities don't expire loudly.
​
No alarm.
No countdown.
No warning.
​
One day the market shifted, someone else shipped it, or the problem got solved without you.
​
The entrepreneurs who win aren't necessarily smarter.
​
They just treat speed like a skill they practice.
​
Move before everything feels ready.
​
Figure it out on the way there.

There's a whole category of lateness that just can't be explained.
​
Not traffic.
​
Not an alarm.
​
Something so random and perfectly timed that no one would believe it even if you tried.
​
A dog.
A neighbor.
A completely unhinged sequence of events.
​
And yet, still showed up.
​
Life gets chaotic and weird and sometimes the universe just has other plans.
​
Getting there anyway is quietly one of the most underrated things people do.
