They Started With Nothing — Now They’re One of the World’s Biggest Stars

The Common Thread: Resilience

While their industries differ — media, music, film, sports — their journeys share powerful similarities:

• They embraced adversity instead of surrendering to it.
• They created opportunities when doors were closed.
• They believed in their potential long before the world did.

Their stories remind us that beginnings do not determine endings. Whether you’re chasing a creative dream, building a business, or simply trying to improve your life, the path from “nothing” to “something” starts with one decision: to keep going.

Because sometimes, the world’s biggest stars start in the darkest places — and shine the brightest because of it.
