Here's how you know someone is going to be rich
In this short motivational monologue, Brendan Kane argues that future wealth is signaled not by luck or raw intelligence but by three observable behaviors. First, he cites Wayne Gretzky’s principle of “skating to where the puck will be,” emphasizing that prospective rich people focus on future opportunities rather than current successes. Second, he references Reid Hoffman’s mantra that an embarrassing first product version is a sign of timely launch, highlighting a willingness to release early, fail, and iterate rapidly. Third, he stresses that these individuals deliberately take risks that others avoid, appearing “crazy” to the mainstream while solving problems before they even exist. Kane concludes that consciously choosing such risky, forward‑looking actions is a reliable indicator that someone will become rich.
