Target Bathroom Bitcoin Analyst

A story about how Anthony Pompliano discovered Will Clemente, who was working at Target while secretly analyzing Bitcoin charts in the bathroom during breaks.

"Will had maybe a thousand followers on Twitter. He was going into the bathroom at Target and tweeting Bitcoin charts and stuff during his breaks. I met him because of the stuff he was tweeting, and then started asking about his background.

He's like 'I'm literally in the bathroom at Target tweeting on my lunch break.' I thought that was pretty cool, so we started interacting online. I brought him on the podcast and got to know him. This kid was smart - young without much experience, but his compounding rate of learning was off the charts. He would read a book in 2-3 days, send me all the things he learned, then read another one and do it again.

The trajectory wasn't linear, it was compounding and exponential. He ended up dropping out of college and bet on himself. Eventually we started a company together, and in the first 6 months got to 100k ARR. I think we'll be at 3-400k ARR after 9 months, and maybe get to $1 million in the first year."
