In this episode of Tom Talks Success, I sat down with William Rivera, a 25-year-old e-commerce mogul who went from broke, no degree, and barely speaking English — to building a $40M+ empire online.

We broke down his entire journey: how he started, what challenges he faced, the mindset shifts that helped him win, and how YOU can take action today. This is one of the most motivating and real conversations I’ve ever had — and it’s packed with value for any young hustler or entrepreneur out there.

🎯 Whether you’re just starting out, thinking about dropping out, or looking for your next breakthrough — this episode will show you what’s actually possible with focus and consistency.
