This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Yanik Silver — and this is one I've been genuinely looking forward to, because Yanik might be one of the truest misfits I've ever had on this show.

Yanik started out as a classic bootstrapping entrepreneur, writing his first sales letter and building a string of successful companies from scratch — he's the author of best-selling books like Maverick Startup, 34 Rules for Maverick Entrepreneurs, and Evolved Enterprise. But somewhere along the way, he did something most successful entrepreneurs never do: he asked whether business could be about more than just profit. That question led him to create Maverick1000 — an invitation-only global network of top entrepreneurs that's been called "the world's weirdest mastermind." This is a group where you might find Yanik running with the bulls, flying MiG jets, doing zero-gravity flights, or wearing matching mermaid tails with Sir Richard Branson on Necker Island — all while these entrepreneurs grow their companies and give millions back to the world.

His whole philosophy lives at the intersection of three words: growth, impact, and fun. He believes business can be the single biggest lever for changing the world, and his lifetime goal is to connect visionary leaders to help solve 100 of the world's biggest problems by the year 2100. So today we're going to get into how he built all of this, why fun and impact aren't distractions from success but accelerators of it, and how any entrepreneur can build a business and a life — that actually matters.
