This week on @Divotdotorg I interviewed @tvmjames from @hardknocksedu why 3 seconds decides everything in going viral, turning rejection into fuel, how he's interviewed 50 billionaires at only 23, and how he is building his media empire on billions of views one clip at a time.

Giannis Antetokounmpo explains the most important things to know when being a young athlete entering the NBA at 18 years old, revealing that he only buys things that return him money 😳👀
- never let your Lawyer, Financial Advisor and Agent be friends
- read books on financial literacy
NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo tells the story of when Adidas tried to FINESSE him early in his career and not sign his brother even though they agreed to, which ultimately led to him signing with Nike 😳👀
He also shared GOLD advice for young athletes on managing their inner circle and major business decisions early on 🔥
“There’s two things that you can do. One, don’t ever let your lawyer, financial adviser, and agent know one another. They should never be boys and cool… because they keep one another accountable.”
“I was 20 years old when I became a millionaire. The most amount I made in a single is $120 million.
I had a conversation with Kobe once and I told him to give me a challenge, and he told me to win MVP; the next year I won MVP”
— NBA player, Giannis Antetokounmpo
The $11 BILLION MAN!
He rejected me 3 months ago, but I finally interviewed @BillAckman, one of the greatest investors of all time.
I interviewed him in Beverly Hills, and I asked him how he got RICH and his best investment advice for people in business.
I also asked him the best industry people should be looking to get into in today’s world, and his number one networking tip for people starting out.
Lastly, I asked him for the best advice he’d give the younger generation.
Two powerful voices just added to the list of speakers of the @StartupGrind Mainstage:
@justinkan & @tvmjames : Two very different paths. One shared truth: what it actually takes to build something that lasts.

Why this NFL star didn’t touch his game money…
I interviewed Jameis Winston in New York City, and I asked him:
- How he spent his NFL money after making $25 million in one year
And how he developed his mindset to think long-term and build generational wealth.
Stopped and had an awesome conversation with @hardknocksedu about self-belief, my conviction around Bitcoin, and building a business as a path to opportunity 👇
