Why Industry Outsiders Usually Win Bigger

Avi Arya explains why outsiders win in business. He scaled coaching events to 200-300 people by moving fast and ignoring industry rules. Insiders get stuck in existing biases; outsiders just act.
You know, and, you know, want to come back to that brand piece, but it's also interesting when you mention about being an industry outsider, right? But don't you think sometimes that also is a plus? I mean, I remember when I came to the world of, you know, training and coaching, and I've been running like a gifting company, I come in here and they're like, 'Tu nisam ja gaya hai, you're an outsider.' But I think what we were able to do with that perspective, and when I, you know, come into organizations today, I think just the fact that I'm an outsider, I see things very differently.

So that is You know, you're a true testimony to the fact that you bring different perspectives. But I used to be an angry person. You were always a— we were in college together. He was always a nice guy. I was always a gunda. I always wanted to punch the person who doesn't think that I am fitting in. Yeah, so that was troubling me for many years, right? And so that's what I meant by being an outsider.
Oh, totally get that.
