[@genzod-i6e]

Great seeing an African brother succeeding.

[@benihanawesseh6375]

Thank you we should be lifting each other up We shouldn’t let racism in America stop us and hold us back if every black person had this mentality we’ll have a lot more successful blacks!!

[@ikleveland]

Should have connected with this beast when I had the chance! Knew he was special ! Keep killing it man (office mates 2015) !

[@pianohugo69420]

He, and the product, are genius. The automations features are outstanding.

[@papadoc4775]

He’s name is Tope Awotona. Put his name in the title next time so we don’t have to dig through to find out. He was on the Forbes cover, for Pete’s sake.

[@slystally9874]

done by design. Notice how we know about the others.

[@KCNwokoye]

Congrats Tope, so proud of you and your wisdom. Keep on shining!

[@Trae-Trae30]

Great story of yet another gifted Atlanta-based entrepreneur that has managed to build a billion-dollar company with little to no venture capital (Ben Chestnut & Sara Blakely )

[@CPTZK11]

he raised 550m pre seed and raised 350m series A. Not sure what you meant by venture backed

[@pelangos]

Big props to calendly. I used to use different scheduling software but switched back to them. Love it! Hope they keep improving.

Naija STAND UP 🇳🇬

[@ugochukwuharbor5519]

Very humbling beginning! Great story.

[@chukesobialo5706]

Wonderful. All the very best Tope.

[@oriode2783]

I love you Tope ✊ sending love from Oduduwa Kingdom ❤️❤️❤️

[@MrCreditMoneyBudget]

Calendly is my favorite scheduling service. It's user friendly. Just a great product and robust.

[@robertbolen4151]

Proud of Tope, Love the hustle.

[@batatasol8540]

Congratulations! Best scheduling services 👍

[@novellprice132]

I am so proud of another Nigerian Brother. A self-billionaire in the United States. So happy for him (Tope Awotona). Not sure if there is any other African immigrant to the United States that's a self-billionaire like him? If there is, please correct me. If not, it is all good. His story inspires many Africans to want to succeed financially as to become a self-billionaire. As long as it is always for a good cause. Peace...

[@johnjill4355]

There is

[@novellprice132]

@@johnjill4355 If there is, please identify whoever (any other African immigrant to the United States that is now a self-billionaire in the United States) it is? So everyone reading here on this platform can also know. Looking forward to your response. Peace...

[@nikkiblackburn-orr2470]

I truly enjoy Calendly. More so once I learned who the founder is.

[@gmeshell7]

That has to be a fantastic organization world wide that only a few people becomes a part of.

[@southernnaturalhairaffair7912]

Wow! Amazing!

[@letsgoviral777]

I LOVE this!!!!!!!!

[@IssacEinstein]

[@michaell.9957]

Just started crypto. Please any idea on how to earn better profit more on crypto.

[@APerez-gk4em]

Investing or rather Trading crypto as a newbie is quite stressful and discouraging especially with the rise and falls in market, working with someone knowledgeable with the technicalities in the market is a good idea

[@angelaa.ferrante968]

You can actually make a whole lot of profit in crypto investment by trading even with the current dip, you just need to work with a professional with a whole lot of experience in the field

[@linyaoliu4166]

A lot of people still make massive profits from the crypto market. all you really need is relevant information and some professional advice. it's totally inappropriate for investors to hang on while suffering from dips during significant market falls.

[@veronicab.3172]

Back then when I was a novice, I also lost a lot of money in crypto trading. Thanks to Leonard Sun Wu , I'm now earning more than before every two weeks.

[@helenatkins2845]

People mostly think that investing in crypto is all about holding until it rises, but the real truth is it takes time and it's a gamble at the end of the day. The recent crash would give you an idea of how things are at the moment.

[@AnomalyBelleza]

Nigerian here. The name is pronounced "Tow-pay" isn't it? Not "Taupe" or "T-oh-p" LOL.

[@ki196]

Great interview. It's pronounced "Tur-pair"😀

[@eccen3ricbeats86]

i just went back 🤣🤣 he said tope💀

[@Kay-jk3zj]

I love how he didn't answer the last question. Like your not getting free investment advice out of me

[@cplusplussizeddick1430]

he was essentially saying invest in SPY

[@agb3762]

​@2022 - Time To Change even if that's true. He's an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs don't need to get lost in technical details. All an entrepreneur needs to do is create the vision & all it takes(including the technical people) to turn the vision into reality.

[@BigTweez9]

Sound just like my story minus the success. Lol I’ll keep goin.

[@agb3762]

Keep going,bro... You'd get it eventually. 👏🏽👏🏽

[@melanineyedoc]

I'm sorry, you're here with who? 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@Benjamin-cs9qd]

Success seems to be connected with action. successful people keep moving . They make mistake ,but they don't quit .The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works

[@mearameara01]

Nope stock market is a scam you fraud

[@luxuryhub1323]

Being successful don' t happen by magic Success is dependent on the action or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man who doesn't have an investment and I will tell you how soon he'll go broke Investment is building a safe haven for the future: with the right choice of investment that has at least 1% minimum risk and with an Expert guidance, profit and interest should be 700 guaranteed.

[@TNexpert]

Calendly's founder is black?! Awesome! I love that tool!

[@UcheOgbiti]

I have lost count of how many times Tope's name has been mispronounced by reporters

[@diversetribe231]

How did Mr. Awotona - at 31 years old and in software sales, and only 15 years in the country - have $200k saved to invest in the company?

[@oromospiritambo6366]

Is that your take from his inspiring story?

[@davidr5660]

Hater

[@francefarms]

It’s sales. High performance high commission

[@MrCreditMoneyBudget]

You can make great money in any sales industry if your even have way decent

[@restonspolis3249]

If you start working let's say at 23 years old, live very frugally, you can save 200k easily by the time you are 31 years old. Not to mention he included his 401k.

This is boring!!!!! I was not inspired. The volume was too low, the questions and answers went too fast, and I was bored with this.
