From College Dropout To 40 Million Dollars At Age 23

Synopsis

Sam Rattner, college dropout, sold his first company for $40M in 18 months and reinvests in blue-collar side hustles: door-to-door snow plowing, riverboat casino staffing, vending routes, a fictional UberWater concept, and Shaan's blue-collar fellowship program. The 'bigger Google Shopping' riff is the only software-adjacent idea.
