He explains that while many messages are ignored, a smart, concise, and actionable outreach often elicits a response, citing his own experience of contacting several billionaires—including Mark Cuban—who eventually became an advisor and investor. Novaes stresses that young entrepreneurs should reach out to more people because successful figures remember being in the same position and are more inclined to reply to thoughtful messages. He concludes with a call‑to‑action, urging viewers to follow for free hacks.

If you're under 25, you have a superpower most people waste. You can practically cold message anyone, a founder, an operator, a billionaire. A lot of them will ignore you, but if you are young and you write something smart, concise, a surprising number of them are actually going to respond. I know it because it happened to me. I reached out to several billionaires, some like Mark Cuban, who responded, and eventually he actually became an advisor and an investor. And that doesn't happen by accident, but it also doesn't happen if you don't send the message. And here's where I messed up. I should have taken it one step further. I should have hit up more people. Because when you're under 25, you are a young entrepreneur, and that person on the other end, even though they have great success, remembers when they were sitting in your shoes, and they're more likely to respond if you are thoughtful and actionable.
