What’s A Question You Love To Be Asked (Or Asking)?

I love to ask successful people what their transitional point was. 

I was in Dave's Hot Chicken in DC with a friend a while ago. Dave's Hot Chicken is massively popular. It's a multi-million dollar franchise. On the walls it says "Started with $900 and an air fryer in a parking lot." 

And so, you look at that, and think "that's cool." But what happened there? How do you go from $900 and an air fryer in a random parking lot to what Dave’s Hot Chicken is today? 

Sometimes the story can be long and drawn out, but I find you can narrow the timeframe to something very specific. 

When it comes to success, there's a lot of luck. But successful people rarely depend on luck. They put themselves in situations where the probability of success is higher. And they take a front row seat.
