The business giant, who built his empire from scratch, is humble and knows how to be grateful. Recently, he re-shared the letter he wrote for his younger self four years ago. A letter that showcased his admirable nature clearly. Here’s what he had to say about his family.
From Alexis Ohanian to his younger self
The co-founder of Reddit analyzed his entire life. From the hardships, he has been through, to the things he has built/achieved. He highlighted, “You will do a class assignment in fourth grade where you’ll share just how much you hate tennis. That’s fine for now, but promise me you’ll keep an open mind.”
4 years ago, @CBSThisMorning asked me to write a letter to my younger self. Frankly, if I could go back in time to tell my younger self how he'd end up in a few decades — I think he'd be pretty impressed. pic.twitter.com/5fj0px2e1a

“You’ll eventually get married, have a daughter, even your own mango tree.” Thereafter he added, “You will spend your whole life creating websites, companies, even logos, but none of those will compare to how proud you are of your most important creation, your family.”
Ohanian crossed paths with Williams in a hotel in Rome, during breakfast. The former World No 1 and her team, seeking privacy, tried to scare him off with a threat of a savage rat. But unknown of their real intention, he decided to stay and finish his meal. From that not-so-fairy tale-like encounter, their story began.
