🔔 “Doorbell Disruptor” — Interview with Ring Founder Jamie Siminoff at our LA Live Show Jun 05, 2026

Show notes

From our Sold Out Live Show in Los Angeles, it’s the 1st guest we’ve ever interviewed whose official title is “Chief Inventor.”

Because after half-a-dozen stalled startups, a rejection on Shark Tank in front of 3M viewers, and running low on cash, Jamie Simonoff sold his Ring home camera company to Amazon for over $1B in 2018.

Basic idea, but billion-dollar-door-breaking breakthrough — Because the Ring wifi doorbell camera is the biggest disruption to the door since the knob. Now your mom has one, your neighbor has one, and your landlord just installed one (like ½ of America has)

Jamie is the Baron of Buzzers & Patron Saint of Porch Security. And in this interview he unlocks all his secrets… like how he dropped $1M for the website domain www.ring.com — Even though he only had $100K in cash.

Jamie’s got the kind of energy that makes you want to invite him inside to hang out and chat for hours (we could’ve kept going, but the theater was closing down). And on today’s interview he dives into:

How to become a tinkerer
His crazy Shark Tank episode
When Richard Branson emailed him to invest
What it’s like selling to Amazon (and making Bezos laugh)
That 1 big Super Bowl commercial
Whether Work/Life Balance is possible
Why he took his 5-year-old son to visit a Chinese factory
And the next simple household item to get disrupted

Live from Los Angeles at our Sold Out show,

Basic concept, but billion-dollar breakthrough
By linking a camera to wifi, he turned ding-dong into cha-ching
But 13 yrs ago, Jamie pitched this invention on Shark Tank
And the Sharks didn’t bite, Mr Wonderful shut the door on him (lit)
But he turned I’m outs into I’m Ins, b/c 3M ppl who saw that episode were interested
And 5yrs later, Amazon came knocking (also literally) w/ $1B offer
Now your mom has one, your neighbor has one, your landlord just installed on
But Jamie’s the ultimate comeback story. And tonight he’s going to unlock all his secrets for ya
He’s the Duke of Ding Dongs, the Baron of Buzzers
The Patron Saint of Porch Security
The guest for tonight’s Live Show is the coolest entrepreneur in LA: Jamie Simonoff, founder of Ring
And today’s interview w/ Jamie is the best one yet (and yes, we’re filming this)

Dolly Parton’s next business venture is a gas station… with a concert hall.

Oura Ring filed to IPO with its lightest ring ever… but will it hit the Wall of Over-Optimizing?

Instagram’s $4/mo subscription is live… but it doesn’t include the #1 feature you want.

Plus, the biggest new divide in America ain’t Coke vs Pepsi… It’s Diet Coke vs Coke Zero.

Show notes

Ferrari’s 1st electric car was mostly hated... but we think they win even if they sell zero.

Spotify will let you create remixes with AI… That’s not AI Slop, it’s Slap (we’ll explain the diff).

Shibumi disrupted the umbrella, selling $127M of beach blockers… and now it’s banned.

Plus, the hottest new trend in tech is an ancient Japanese hobby… Origami is back, baby.
