Picture this. One day, you wake up to see your bank account flooded with cash from your startup's exit. The question isn't about the money anymore; it's about what you do next.

EXCERPTS:
The Importance of Entity Structure: "These are basically corporate structuring vehicles to put some distance between you, the person, and the business itself." — Yong-Soo Chung (07:48)
Converting Hobbies into Business: "If you manage to convert your hobbies into a business and establish it as an LLC within your Personal Holding Company, suddenly all your hobby-related expenses become business expenses, which means you get to write it all off while filing taxes, and with enough time and dedication, you can create a cash flow positive business out of it." — Yong-Soo Chung (14:20)
