The Power of Broke: How Empty Pockets, a Tight Budget, and a Hunger for Success Can Become Your Greatest Competitive Advantage by Daniel Paisner, Daymond John

2.0

This book lacks any real economic or business examination. He fails to recognize any factors working against any of the “power of broke success stories” other than empty pockets. Steve Aoki had a bunch of unpaid interns—do you know how much money you have to have or come from to be an unpaid intern in New York? Maybe Steve didn’t have much, but the people who got him there did. And it’s the same for almost every other story he shares in this—including his own which he brings up ad nauseam. This book is essentially one really long Nike “Just Do It” advertisement and offers no helpful commentary.
