I just finished Never Enough: From Barista to Billionaire by Andrew Wilkinson, and it hit differently because Andrew and I hail from the same region and so we know some of the same people.
Reading about his early days grinding it out in local cafes and launching MetaLab felt incredibly relatable. The book itself is a raw, no-holds-barred look at Wilkinson's rocket from $6.50-an-hour barista to building Tiny, a "Berkshire Hathaway of the internet" worth billions by his mid-30s.
But it's not just a success brag; it's refreshingly honest about the downsides: the burnout, strained relationships, and that nagging "never enough" feeling even at the top. What resonated most with me was Wilkinson's deep admiration for Charlie Munger.
He recounts meeting his idol and weaving Munger's wisdom into his investing philosophy, which is something we have in common as fellow value investing fans. It made the business lessons feel like shared ground. If you're into entrepreneurship, wealth psychology, or just a great underdog story, this one's a must-read. Highly recommend!
