Why HYPE Doesn't Always Equal Success - Tunde Onakoya
For years, Tunde Onakoya did one thing: use chess to change the lives of children from disadvantaged backgrounds. He broke the world record for the longest chess marathon, 60 consecutive hours in Times Square, New York.
The world was watching. Then he took out a bank loan, designed a chess board he believed in with everything he had, and only sold one. In this episode of Growth Through Failure, he shares what the market taught him that the applause never could, and why hype is never a substitute for traction.
