this was good! Codie's point that most of these people didn't start just making money from content is important - David Perell got a grant from somewhere as well I believe. It can look a lot like these people are just straight up killing it but they've ground their way up. Mark Cuban is pretty interesting given that he made huge amounts of money relatively quietly before becoming 'Mark Cuban' and being very media friendly
Thanks Ben! Your comment landed in junk so just responding now, I didn't know that about David Perell, its an important insight and shows the ramp up time to success will likely be longer if you start from nothing. Mark Cuban could be interesting to cover in a future post by the sounds of it :)
