This exciting episode jumps into one of the unknown backstories of someone famous that everyone THINKS they know. His story perfectly illustrates what accelerated learning is all about, why it matters, and how you can start to speed up your own learning today.
This is the Story about an immigrant who taught himself to live on $2 a day, to remove his fear of poverty, who was so shy that when he was applying for a job, he stopped into the lobby and didn’t talk to anyone… and just walked out.
He would then learn to crush the job, and future ones, and go on to get his first investment… a wad of $5,000 bills from a guy in his bathrobe, then raised more money by telling investors that he’d, "commit seppuku rather than fail" (that’s the Japanese word for suicide).
That guy was… Elon Musk. Cliche example, but one everyone knows… or do they?
