@theventure: This girl went viral for walking with billionaires and built a social media empire 🎥💰 In 2016, Tara Keeney's dad dies suddenly. She's 21, one month into a junior job at WeWork, and trying to figure out what to do with her life. So she spends seven years building her career, and by 2024 she's Global Sales Director at WeWork. All that time she's listening to founder podcasts, learning how to build her own business, and every single one feels the same: scripted conversations, boring questions, every interview sounding like a press release. She wants to know what these founders are actually like off the stage. While every other interviewer goes through agents and PR teams, Tara realizes she only needs to land one undeniable name, and then every door opens. ✓ Emails Gary Vaynerchuk 27 times before he says yes ✓ Grabs her phone, joins him for a walk, and watches the video go viral ✓ Lands Marc Randolph next, then the founders of Gymshark, Snapchat, and Canva ✓ Grows it into 71 episodes and 180,000 followers Loses her dad at 21 → climbs to Global Sales Director → sick of scripted founder interviews → lands one undeniable name → 27 emails to Gary Vee → a viral walk → the fastest-growing founder interview series in the world. Sometimes one impossible yes is all it takes to open every other door. What single yes would open every door if you refused to stop asking for it? 🤔 #Business #LookWhoIFound #SocialMedia #Success #Entrepreneur @Tarakeeney
