Fortunes DNA

by Felix Farias

Welcome to Fortunes DNA. Every episode takes one fortune apart from zero to understand how it was built. We specifically focus on: what the subject started with, what the moment handed them, what they decided and every road that would have resulted in them not making their fortune. The mission is to find out how large fortunes are really built and identify the patterns that can be reapplied to generate wealth.
