“How about you write them?” So the man wrote the articles for the writer as requested and didn’t ask for anything in return. Little did he know this one opportunity would lead him to become one of the most well-known writers and podcasters on the planet. The articles he wrote for the writer eventually got him gigs for the Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, and enabled him to publish 20+ books.
