A twitter post by Peter Yang @peteryang. It says "Just had a call with someone on Forbes 30 under 20 list and came away really impressed.
He shared with me how he made VP at a top tech company before age 30:
- 4:30 AM wakeup
- Cold showers
- Gratitude journal
- Meditate
- Dad owns tech company
The only one I know of is Griffin McElroy, founding editor of Polygon. His mom died when he was young and his dad was a radio DJ, so he didn't have family capital to build from. I don't know if there are other co-founders and if they had family money or not.
A guy whose father was in the entertainment industry managed to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry.
Nepotism is a powerful lubricant and those who benefit from it substitute it with grit.
This is not the exception to the rule you think it is. .
A backwoods West Virginia radio host had 0 power over the success of his son's video game magazine. I fail to see any nepotism here.
