From Refugee to Billionaire (w/ Andrew Viterbi)

In today’s episode, I talk to Andrew Viterbi, co-founder of
Qualcomm and creator of the Viterbi algorithm.


When Andrew was just 4 years old, he came to the US as a refugee
from Italy. By 10 years old, he already had a passion for math
and technology and wanted to study at MIT university (spoiler
alert… he did!).


Now, Andrew is in his 80s!!!! And he’s known for being the
co-founder of Qualcomm — a $120 BILLION dollar company!!! And he
also invented the Viterbi algorithm. 


If you’ve ever wanted to learn about how to invent an algorithm
and make your own luck, you’ll love this episode.


In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:


- How money changed Andrew’s life coming from nothing to being a
billionaire


- If Andrew regrets working as hard as he did to get major
success


- And the #1 thing he thinks startups NEED to be successful


 


Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the
way.
