Ben Chan: I Failed For 4 Years! Then One Story Took Me From 300 Followers To $10K/Month (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You don’t need 10,000 hours to get good at something. According to Ben, you need 100. That’s enough to be better than 90% of people, and enough to start selling. Ben spent four years failing at side hustles. He pushed Brawl Stars trophies for pocket money, washed neighbours cars at 4am, and spent two hours pitching Google Pay QR codes in a Singapore mall and earned nothing.

The Coach Who Did It Before Steven Bartlett: I Had Everything On Paper — Then I Broke Down At 25 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At 25, Alex Manzi had the job, the salary, the life that looks correct on paper — and he had a breakdown.

The Traveling Barista: "I Work 6 Months A Year To Buy The Other 6 Back" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Claire didn't like coffee until she was 24 — one espresso and her "whole system said no." Today, she's a specialty barista who gets flown from Madrid to Vienna to Amsterdam to make coffee at events across Europe. Her explanation for how that happened is deceptively simple: follow what excites you, and don't argue with it. In this episode, I sit down with Claire — barista, visual creator, writer, and founder of IMMÄ Studio. She's the definition of multi-passionate: she's used hospitality jobs to
