Chris had nothing to leave his kids. So he scraped together $28k, bought 5 acres in upstate NY, and spent weekends building an A-frame by hand. Then one $800 idea turned his quiet cabin into a mega-viral airbnb with over $1M in bookings. Wait till you see this...🧵

At 11, I landed my first job: making cheese. $8/hr after school—until my boss realized hiring an 11-yr-old was illegal. I didn't care. I loved it so much, I stayed on unpaid. This was just the beginning of a teenage obsession that would lead to an unexpected discovery…🧵

In 1991, this lady was driving through the Swedish countryside when a massive hole in the ground caught her eye. She stopped to get a closer look at the 200 ft deep pit. It’d been carved out of the earth by limestone miners 60 yrs earlier. But…

My favorite hotel in the world—Babylonstoren. In February, we spent 2 unforgettable nights there. It completetly redefined my idea of hospitality (but there’s a twist). Let me try to capture the magic: 🧵
