Shaan Puri: 我认为成功的关键在于找到那些无条件信任你的人。对我来说,Michael Birch就是这样的人,他在我23、24岁的时候给了我机会,让我担任CEO。这种信任是无价的,它比金钱更重要。现在,我也努力成为别人的“第一个信徒”,公开表达对他们的支持和信任。 Ben Levy: 我非常认同“第一个信徒”的观点。对我来说,加入Shaan的团队是因为我看到了他的潜力和能量。当时我的业务遇到了瓶颈,而Shaan的活力和创新精神深深吸引了我。我相信他能带领我们走向成功,所以即使放弃了当时稳定的收入,我也愿意加入他的团队,一起创造新的可能性。此外,我也努力成为一个有用的人,通过帮助他人来创造更多的机遇和可能性。
