This book discusses the dangers behind always playing it safe as well as understanding what it takes to be successful. “It helps focus on how to achieve goals in your life and to have crazy idea’s and a fearless plan” said Wylie.
Wylie explains his concept of being ‘fearless and crazy’ throughout his book with real world examples. “It’s real, it is not based on theory and it’s something I personally did…I beat the odds and I have several successful companies” said Wylie. One of the major examples in the book is Wylie’s own story of creating his own financial firm out of his college dorm room. With his crazy and fearless attitude, Wylie earned his first million by the age of 26 and his firm morphed into a multi-million dollar company. Wylie later made another ‘crazy and fearless’ jump when he sold off his financial firm and entered the film/entertainment industry.
Among Wylie’s own real life examples, he used historic figures from the past and current day entertainment figures so that people may relate. “It talks about the steps you need to take and it gives great successful stories” said Wylie. Wylie’s book explores the successful stories of music mogul Sean “Puffy” Combs, the late and former CEO of Apple Inc. Steve Jobs, and the current United States President Barack Obama. All of these public eye figures went against the grain to attain their goal(s) in life. “Never settle and be comfortable” stated Wylie.
