What if you could find a system that maximized luck and generated outsized returns? 

A method based on decision science that led you to make better choices - in both your business and personal life.

That’s exactly what Daniel Kang did.  He learned how to use asymmetric bets to win scholarships that paid for his education, as well as to raise millions of dollars to fund his startup.  

He then used this principle to land a book deal with leading business-book publisher Wiley & Sons.  

Today Daniel Kang joins us here to share what he’s learned as the CEO & co-founder of a Y-Combinator backed startup Flowbo, as a venture capitalist at Softbank’s Vision Fund and how what he learned in pilot training taught him about running a business.

His new book “The Super Upside Factor: Asymmetric Principles that Will 10X Your Life” is a practical playbook to maximize luck in life and career.  

The book is a must read for anyone looking to apply the principles that have enabled a few companies to outperform - even in challenging environments.

Daniel used asymmetric bets to elevate himself out of poverty and to become a wildly successful entrepreneur  and recognized author.  Let’s unpack what’s behind this methodology and how we can apply to in our lives.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
