  • Rich Benoit of Rich Rebuilds: Content Creator, Car Rebuilder and Tesla Fan

    Rich Benoit is a remarkably funny guy and he single-handedly turned junked Teslas into a seller’s market. He creates content for a YouTube channel called Rich Rebuilds. This features his adventures rebuilding and repairing cars.

    His automotive saga took off in 2016. At the time Rich “needed” to own a Tesla, but Teslas were $100,000 new and $70,000 used. He was too cheap to buy one. Loved talking about his journey on this week’s Remarkable People podcast.

His novels include The Lower River and The Mosquito Coast, and his renowned travel books include Ghost Train to the Eastern Star and Dark Star Safari and the upcoming book about Hawaii and surfing, Under the Wave at Waimea.

    You’ve probably also heard of The Mosquito Coast. This book won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1981, and it was made into a movie in 1986 directed by Peter Weir starring Harrison Ford, Helen Mirren, and River Phoenix. It’s now inspired a new Apple TV+ series starring Justin Theroux, who is coincidentally the author’s nephew which will be out at the end of April.

  • Nikhil Kamath: Chess Champion Turned Billionaire Entrepreneur

    This week on Guy Kawasaki’s Remarkable People is Nikhil Kamath, the co-founder of India’s largest stock brokerage, Zerodha.

    For what it’s worth, he’s in his early thirties and a billionaire based on his stake in the company.

    His “made for movies” story is that he dropped out of high school to play chess, worked at a call center answering support questions, started a stock brokerage, and became a billionaire. Kind of a Queen’s Gambit meets Slumdog Millionaire meets Charles Schwab.

    But the actual storyline is not as Bollywood as you might think.
