Yo,
I always had a perspective of:
Rich kids are evil, alcoholic and majorly lazy as$ bast*rds.
But there's one guy who changed my perspective forever, who came as an inbound lead to me on my Instagram.
Messaged, talked, and met in person.
And he is a wise, calm guy to date, the people I have met.
Until he revealed his father is a multi-millionaire.
I was like, WTF.
I became curious about his business, management, and system.
The story behind the beginning and how he started as a first-gen millionaire.
So I get that the father was so hardworking, and the kid has the chill and freedom to do anything and study anywhere, anytime.
Also, he mentioned one thing: his father said one thing to him:
"Go study, explore life and do all the stuff. But at the end of the day, come to my company and manage everything."
It might be the Indian family and business culture, cause the legacy gets maintained by family and business.
But it's different in US business.
If someone is doing well in a company, the most honest and skilled employee becomes the head and face afterwards.
And in the end, it depends on the decision-makers who run the business.
If you want to know what business my friend's father is in, wait for tonight's email.

The GTM bets that shouldn't have worked, and did
One grew revenue 50x after half his team quit over the strategy. One brought in 50K signups in a single day with no paid budget. One generated 100M+ views from a stunt that took 50 hours to conceive. One asked every prospect to demo the product themselves instead of demoing it for them.
None of them followed the safe playbook. They treated GTM like an experiment, moved before they had proof, and made bets most founders would never get approved.
HubSpot for Startups documented all 6 stories in the free Bold Bets Playbook. The risks they took, why it was risky, and what it returned.
