what happened did he catch fabs attention
His name was rbk or rbk2003. If I remember correctly dude paid $1500 to rent the whip and parked it in the front to stunt and use as bait to get fab's attention on some mission impossible shyt. He made a not so humble brag thread on sohh and the brehs went in on him. At the end of the day the plan failed and he didn't get fab's attention

50k can be life-changing money.

If you want extremes:
Even if you have some super talent, there's still a chance he says "no" to what you're pitching. But quite honestly, if you're really that great, you'd be there already.

You could take that $50k and throw it all on an investment if you wanted to and have the same risk. But at least you'd have something to show for it.

why would he give this to you? He doesnt know you or your product or your execution capabilities......

Neither does the "business connection" he would refer you to...

And if your product and skills were up to par why couldnt you get in the room with someone who could help you without paying 50K for the "privilege"
Basically, Jay-Z built his empire with his rap skills and his connections.
I can't rap. I can't do anything related to rap music, like mix, or produce.
I guess I should just take the $50,000.

You can take that 50K and do things with it that are in your lane

heck you can rent a kiosk in a mall, buy a food truck...other things

Mall kioks is not in my lane. Retail isn't where its at. I've done it on the worker side of things and don't want to do it on the management/owner side of things.
Food truck isn't either... but not a bad idea if I wanted to be my own boss. I had jobs where you have to stand all day, and I don't like it.

Probably use it to buy a welding machine, welding equipment and metal, and then make some custom turbo exhaust manifolds. Sell it to the aftermarket car part dealers in Europe, Asia and America. Let them deal with the distribution and retail sales end of things. Direct sales nets more profit, but marketing would cost a lot more and it would be hard to export on a sale-by-sale basis rather than ship a container over.

Yes, you gave two random examples. Not bad ideas. Just gave my responses to your two example.
You could have just said male stripper and mafia bodyguard, same thing.

I would do the dinner actually. Don't get me wrong I could use the 50k as much as anyone, but dinner with Jay is a once in a lifetime experience, I don't even need the business advice, I'd just want to see what makes him tick.
