💥 30 job rejections. 10 Harvard rejections. $10/month salary. Zero startup revenue for 3 years. This isn’t failure — it’s the origin story of Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba, who defied odds with relentless belief, entrepreneurial courage, and service to others.

This episode is part of the Open My Mind: Smart with Money  Series (Season 4)
