"I've had so many privileges and so many advantages... and still, it's almost impossible. It's almost impossible to succeed as a founder." - Chris Camillo

From car detailing businesses in his teens to now being invested in 150 private companies, Chris Camillo has weathered the entrepreneurial storm countless times. With refreshing candor, he challenges the glorified narrative of entrepreneurship, revealing how even with access to some of the smartest and most ambitious minds in the business world, the path of a founder is fraught with near-certain failure. His journey illuminates a counterintuitive truth – that for most people, the smarter investment strategy isn't becoming the next groundbreaking entrepreneur, but rather identifying and investing in those rare individuals who possess the genius, drive, and often "psychopathic" dedication to succeed.

Chris offers a perspective rarely voiced in today's startup-obsessed culture: why torture yourself trying to build something from scratch when you can invest in established visionaries who are already doing the work? Drawing from his extensive experience of both successes and failures, he explains how everyday investors can "ride the life" of innovative founders like Jobs, Bezos, or Musk without sacrificing their own well-being, relationships, or sanity. It's a profound lesson on working smarter rather than harder in the pursuit of financial freedom.
