T1C 19 | The 1% Closer with Henry Yoshida


Listen Later

What separates someone in the top 1%? In this episode, Henry Yoshida shares how relentless curiosity, asking “why” multiple times, and refusing to settle for surface-level answers became his edge. From leaving corporate to build his own company to embracing failure as part of the journey, this conversation breaks down the mindset required to take risks, run a real business, and push beyond what most people are willing to endure.


Bullet Points and Highlights:

  • Top 1% performers never accept the first answer, they ask “why” until they uncover the truth.
  • The first response is often deflection; the real insight comes after repeated questioning.
  • Leaving corporate to start your own business is a different skill set than simply doing a job well.
  • Taking calculated risks is necessary to break into the top tier.
  • Travis Kalanick reportedly started around 13 companies before building Uber into a billion-dollar success.
  • We celebrate highlights from icons like Michael Jordan, but rarely talk about the misses that shaped their greatness.
