Reid Olson dropped out, burned through his savings, and spiraled through failure and isolation. But instead of quitting, he got obsessed—with mastery, pain, and making something undeniable. We unpack the mindset behind 500 million views, why he sees creativity as a blend of science and business, and how tunnel vision turned rock bottom into leverage.
