My guest today is one of the hardest working, smartest, and most successful entrepreneurs I have had the pleasure of speaking to. He was born in Pakistan and immigrated to the United States at the age of 12. Without a social life due to his lack of English skills, he turned to the Internet and entrepreneurship. Today, at 25 years old, my guest is an award-winning entrepreneur, and has been recognized as one of the top 100 entrepreneurs under the age of 30. He is the owner of several 7-figure online businesses, and over 400 million people visit his websites annually. He is the founder of WPBeginner, the world’s largest free WordPress resource site, and the cofounder of List25, OptinMonster, SoliloquyWP, ThemeLab, Envira Gallery, and WPForms.
