Alex Banayan: ...that you can always find 'a way in' with grit and creativity

What do Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, Pitbull, Maya Angelou, and Mark Zuckerberg have in common? Bestselling author and "Forbes 30 Under 30", Alex Banayan, spent seven years tracking down dozens of the world's most successful people to learn the secrets of how they carved their own paths in life and business. He found they all made their own way by using what he calls, "The Third Door". It's not the front door or the VIP door, but there's always a way in -- it just takes grit, persistence, and creativity! His book, The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World's Most Successful People Launched their Careers, was named the Top Career Book to Read in 2018 by Forbes Magazine.
