Uh.. that guy didn't just forget all his skills which he acquired presumably after having been raised in a stable home and receiving a decent education, not to mention a bunch of experience working and all that. Also, the cynic in me thinks he set out to do that to make money in the first place from the homeless project itself. This is just flexing his own skills more so than proving anyone can do it.

Yeah, almost millionaie FAANG employee can do this:

Simply get another FAANG job using skills and knowledge (especially the navigation of the interview process).

In about five years, they're a millionaire again.

Or a more prosaic IT job and a very spartan lifestyle will net a million in 10 years.

$64k gross or net? Coffee is a commodity with a tiny profit margin. He scaled it using ads with no budget? I respect the grind but I have my suspicions.

The video said the first thing that got them off the ground was a viral tiktok, which is free.

Interesting idea.. but he should have picked someone else to guide if he was trying to prove anyone can do it. Feels like he only proved that he could become a millionaire again, which is still impressive but he does possess the same name, connections, and know how.
