This show is about people who didn’t take the usual route to get where they are. Maybe they dropped out to start a company, left a steady paycheck to build something of their own, or put their money into something most people would never think of. We call them the “alts,” because there’s more than one way to build a successful, fulfilling life, and we’re interested in the ones you don’t hear much about.

These stories usually aren’t clean or straightforward. There’s doubt, there’s failure, and there are decisions that looked reckless at the time. That’s the part we find most interesting.
