You ever come across someone who made it big by zigging when everyone else was zagging? I’m always fascinated by people who succeed without following the usual playbook like the comedian who started late or the trader who nailed it with an offbeat strategy.
Take Dr. Jack Horner, for example. Dude dropped out of college but still became one of the most influential paleontologists ever by trusting his gut and relentless curiosity. Or look at streaming plenty of creators blew up just by being weirdly, authentically themselves instead of chasing trends.
So who’s your favorite example of someone who crushed it by breaking the rules? Bonus points if it’s from an unexpected field like comedy or trading. Would love to hear some fresh stories!
