Shaan Puri: 我认为Blake Scholl是一个极具高行动力的创业者。他从高中辍学,通过自己的努力进入卡内基梅隆大学并获得奖学金。在亚马逊工作期间,他为贝索斯打造了一个自动竞价系统,负责管理3亿美元的业务。但他并没有满足于此,而是辞职创业,最终创办了Boom Supersonic,致力于制造超音速飞机。为了获得维珍集团的投资,他通过多种途径接近Richard Branson,并提出了一个聪明的要求,最终赢得了合作。他认为,创业者应该选择对自己有价值的事情,并将其作为必须要做的事情,这样才能更容易成功。我认为他的故事非常励志,值得我们学习。 Sam Parr: 我觉得Boom Supersonic的想法很荒谬,所以我当年没有投资。但我现在有点后悔了,因为Blake Scholl的故事确实很精彩。他是一个非常有魄力的人,敢于挑战不可能。他的成功也证明了,只要有足够的热情和行动力,即使是再疯狂的想法也有可能实现。
