This is an interesting video I stumbled upon about Max Levchin. Max is someone most online users have, at one point or another, supported. He is the inventor of PayPal. And at the age of 32, he sold PayPal to eBay for 1.54 billion dollars. (That’s a “B”, not an “M”.) He has since started a new venture called Slide.com which some of you who use social network sites might know about already. The video is interesting because it shows how, for some people at least, “drive” is something that doesn’t go away when one has crossed that finish line. It’s also interesting to hear him say that if he can’t do something that tops the 1.5 billion dollar mark, then he has failed. At the same time, he says his greatest fear is being irrelevant. Which begs the question, does “money” and “relevance” mean the same thing? I always thought it was possible to have one without the other.
