This one Asian-American guy who was a Navy SF, then became a Medical Doctor and THEN became a fucking NASA astronaut.
Jocko Podcast 221: Jonny Kim. Navy SEAL, Doctor, Astronaut. The Unimaginable Path.
This guy puts almost 99% of people to shame...
Navy SEAL Sniper/Medic --> Harvard Medical School --> NASA Astronaut
And he's only 36. Insane
And he had a really shitty childhood, like, really, really shitty. Most people would probably take their time until 36 just to recover from that stuff and he just powered through it. He´s like a humble and friendly (and Asian) version of Arnold Schwarzenegger, just from that incredible drive and passion he emits.
99.999% yes ... a whole 1% is too generous
"not seal team 6 though" - basement dweller
unreal resume. can't believe he is still so young.
Really shows the importance of two things: 1. Passion in knowing what you want (becoming strong -> warrior, wanting to save his charges -> physician) 2. Thoughtfulness and preparation (trained for the exact skillset, at any time)
cringe
German shitposter dabbing on unsuspecting Ameriburgers? That´s MY job, buddy! Get back in the fucking line!
Wow that's sick!

Mohammad El-Erian...
Cambridge undergrad + Masters Oxford PhD IMF CEO of PIMCO Was on Obama's Development Council Chief economist at Allianz also a GIC advisor... among other things!
yeah but he's a dogshit writer. I've found "when markets collide" is more effective at inducing sleep than indica, melatonin, and port combined
"Worked for Obama"
How is this a good thing?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gita_Gopinath
and she is so godam cute too
That is indeed one cute economist. Very cool!
she’s cute? ... uhh what
weird taste but ok
I could watch her talk on Bloomberg all day
There's that girl who went from MIT -> Tesla Engineer -> 49ers cheerleader -> HBS (https://www.technologyreview.com/2012/10/24/183044/rachel-peterson-09/)
This is probably the weirdest CV I´ve ever seen, kinda like that pornstar who´s a member of Mensa.
Myron Rolle: FSU football ——-> NFL ——> FSU med school ——> Harvard med residency doing neurosurgery
Also, a Rhodes Scholar. He could have declared a year early (and was a perceived late 1st/early 2nd) but really wanted to receive the award and finish his education.
Person I met during a networking event was on an Olympic team, and interned at Goldman his/her soph year
Are they currently in school still? I think I've met this person as well
Bill Bradley

Why am I even trying smh
what's great about this one?
Bro, she is MIT-Harvard + achieved the holy trinity of IB Big3, Consulting MBB, Tech Google + side quests in Nasa and WEF International Policy + Web3 Founder
I know most are internships, but it's more likely by choice than by not receiving return offers.
Donald J. Trump

I had a professor who was a top surgeon at Johns Hopkins Hospital, went to get his MBA to move into hospital administration and liked it so much that he ended up getting his PhD in finance. Turned down head of CFPB and working at the Fed to be a professor, his excuse was he likes wearing Hawaiian shirts and shorts to work. Chillest dude ever.
Porter Collins
The guy was an professional rower who presented team USA at the ‘96 and ‘00 summer Olympics, won 3 gold medals in rowing at world championships, was part of FrontPoint Partners when they shorted the housing market and eventually started a hedge fund (Seawolf Capital) with former colleague Vinny Daniel.

R0b3rt N1sh1hara (using numbers so his name isn't associated with WSO on Google lol)

Proceeds to post Robert Nishihara's LinkedIn...
I met a bigshot who told me he saw the resume of a former president's kid come across his desk. He also got a call from the former president just touching base on the status of his kid starting a career at said organization. He still had the cell number in his Blackberry to prove it to me.
Long story short, the kid rejected their offer.
Not seen anybody so far beat Rishi Sunak's CV.
Only thing which will ruin it is when he suffers the worst ever Conservative defeat at the next election
Maybe not craziest resume, but cool story

xQc, also known as Felix Lengyel
This is the type of guy who WSO would make fun of (before his massive success)
.
- Worked lots of odd jobs from teenage to young adulthood including:
newspaper carrier, janitor, landscaper
- Had lots of acquaintances but never any real close friends
- Dropped out of 2 year college in Montreal, Canada
- Became an pro e-sports player and played for Team Canada
- Kicked out of team for unsportsmanlike behavior
- Started streaming (recording self to an internet audience playing games) full-time from 2016
- Coach surfer, living in friend's homes
- Became a millionaire at age 23 (probably around 2018/2019)
- Annual income in 2020/2021 was $4,000,000+ per year according to leaked documents
- After 7 years, in 2023, landed a $100,000,000 two year contract to stream on Kick
.
Tell me any other 27 year old in history who will be worth $100,000,000+ by age 29 through
playing video games and watching youtube videos.
No boss, no schedule, can work on his own terms wherever in the world.
.
Those in the entertainment industry, such as professional actors / musicians / athletes
still have obligations to respect and follow through.
Multiple higher ups that play a huge role in their career development.
Lots of pressure from fans and also within of not being "good enough".
.
Outside of lottery winners or trust fund babies,
xQc is the richest young person in the world with the least amount of effort required.
And he did this while starting from zero (was a janitor and college drop out)
Miss his OG 24+ hour Overwatch streams
That’s wild
