Side Hustle School
An asymmetrical opportunity is one where the risk is low but the possible reward is high. Starting a small business on a low budget is a perfect example: it might not work out, but if it does, there's no fixed limit to growth. In this series of short episodes from our partner Dell, I'll share three examples of how ordinary people are exploiting asymmetrical opportunities to radically transform their lives. The new tomorrow will not be televised–it's available on demand right now!

Story Behind Building the Athletic
Episode One - The origin story of The Athletic. Why did they start the company? What were the key initial decisions? What didn't go as expected and how did they handle it? How did they set goals and track their success? When did they know it was going to work? Key hires, key failures, first wins. We'll hear from some of the other key people who joined early, why they joined, and how they perceived the early days of the business.
Episode Two - Managing the growth phase. Once they knew they had something that worked, how did they approach scaling. What new questions and decisions did that present.
