This is a great story. Not because it's inspiring, but because it shows a million $ business bro couldn't even make more than $65k USD in 12 months with prior experience and education while cosplaying as homeless thus showing that hustle culture is a bullshit step out of reality
Look at this guy.
He’s a millionaire who went homeless as a social experiment.
His goal? Prove that anyone can make $1M in 12 months with just a phone.

Don't forget the parts where it shows that random medical circumstances can just completely nuke your plans

Not really? He was set back a bunch due to family problems. Most homeless are homeless on purpose in a place that awards being homeless. Turning 0 into 65k isn’t the hustle mindset optimal, but most broke/poor/homeless people turn $1k into 0 in like 3 days

People being convinced they can be rich by an arrogant millionnaire who straight up couldnt survive for 10 months starting from scratch is crazy 💀

Tons of work only to earn the average wage of a decent job, but with no health insurance. Then got cancer. Wealth is as much or more about luck than hustle.

It's amazing that the conclusion is "if he can do it so can you."
Even though he didn't do it, and he was just LARPing in the first place.
This guy already had experience and skills most people don't have and his little cosplay still almost killed him.
So he just STOPPED.

Best part 8 tweets in when (with no explanation of how he funded it) "He launched a coffee brand for dog lovers that donated proceeds to animal rescues."
