Side Hustle School
An asymmetrical opportunity is one where the risk is low but the possible reward is high. Starting a small business on a low budget is a perfect example: it might not work out, but if it does, there's no fixed limit to growth. In this series of short episodes from our partner Dell, I'll share three examples of how ordinary people are exploiting asymmetrical opportunities to radically transform their lives. The new tomorrow will not be televised–it's available on demand right now!

We'll hear from some of the other key people who joined early, why they joined, and how they perceived the early days of the business.
