Interviews with successful young folks that made things up and did well at it.

Good questions, interesting answers. More than anything, I was relieved to find that the common thread was passion and a willingness to make things up and see where it went. A lot of fame came from a mixture of good timing, friends with similar goals, and stellar ideas that were chased purely for their own merit.
