>>7213345Tony Khan is one of the most important figures that the history of business could ever ask for. There are so many lessons to be learned that you could spend a whole course just following his AEW career alone.
He shows that nobody ever got to the top by being nice. He bends over backwards to please whoever pushes him and it results in self-marks getting everything while nice guys get scraps.
Even more importantly, here you have not merely the son of a self-made billionaire businessman with a near infinite pool of funds to draw from to pour into his endeavors, but almost 30 years (3 decades) worth of experience as an extreme enthusiast of his enterprise just short of actually putting on boots himself. He had more recipes for success than anyone else could have dreamed of.
And yet his business is a failure that loses viewers every year and has a backstage turbulence leaving a lot of his workers dissatisfied. Nobody respects him and his decisions are constantly questioned. He's hired more deadweight than talent and can't muster up any gold to make up for it.
He really doesn't have what it takes to be a successful businessman. He's got no spine, no creativity, no foresight, no gravitas, no impartiality and dispassion, no sense of what his audience wants, no sense for talent, you could fill pages listing out his deficiencies and shortcomings. If his father wasn't a billionaire, he would be working in fast food or retail. TK shows that many people, no matter how much money you drop in their lap, cannot run a business.
