Working in a call center doesn’t exactly scream “high-risk, high-reward,” but a few years back, I threw some savings into a small green tech startup. Everyone thought I was nuts especially since I’d just gotten into rock climbing and needed gear money. But something about their solar-powered charging tech for remote areas clicked with me. Fast forward, and that gamble turned into one of my best moves.
Now I’m curious: anyone else take a wild swing with their money that actually connected? Bonus points if it tied into your hobbies or passions. How’d you trust your gut when everything said “bad idea”?
