    Wealth is a generational game. Good on this young man for doing something. He didn’t sit back and live on his dad’s money. He added value. He learned a lot and is willing to share it here.

    Got recommended this randomly. I am like his dad. I am an immigrant, I quit my job and now building my startup, with $0. Only difference is I quit because I wanted more freedom: freedom to wear what I want, say what I want, work when I want and importantly work on what I love.

    his journey powerfully illustrates that relentlessness can turn even repeated rejections into a stepping stone for monumental success. It’s a testament to the idea that perseverance, above all, shapes the path from vision to reality. 🚀
