RadiumOne's recently fired founder, Gurbaksh Chahal, just officially announced his new startup, an ad technology company called Gravity4, with a dramatic video.
Chahal was fired by RadiumOne's board after he became the focus of negative press. Last August, Chahal was charged with 45 felonies for allegedly kicking and hitting his former girlfriend.
The charges were dropped, but Chahal still pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor charges, including one for domestic violence battery.
The video for the new startup shows people free-jumping from mountains while Chahal delivers a dramatic monologue about the importance of not giving up.
"Limits are there for a reason," he says. "To be broken."
Check out the video:
Here's his full LinkedIn post:
Today is a new beginning.
They say that the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.
I was born 32 years ago today. And today, I know why. Because today not only do I celebrate my birthday, but I also celebrate the birth of a phenomenal new business called Gravity4.
After 16 high-intensity years in the Internet advertising world I'm launching my fourth and most exciting enterprise. Each of my three previous businesses became more and more successful than its predecessor. And Gravity4 is all set to be even better. That's just the way I am. I'm driven to surpass prior accomplishments.Money has never been the object of desire, my desires have always driven by ambition.
In fact, from my earliest formative years I knew with great conviction that I was destined to pursue and achieve something greater than myself; something that was immeasurable; something that defined purpose.
I never expected it to be easy. I came from humble beginnings-an immigrant family whose brave, daring parents arrived in America with just $25 in their pockets.
Over the years I have faced and overcome numerous challenges. But nothing like those I have experienced this past year. Even in my darkest moments, however, I never had any doubt that it was all part of my journey. There was a purpose behind the ordeal-and that was to lead me to the creation of Gravity4.
This is life. Life in the real world where no-one can expect a smooth, heavenly existence. It's a world where you get knocked down and get right back up. It's a world where you prove that anyone who thinks you're not good enough couldn't be more wrong. It's a world where you reject rejection; where you erase doubt and where you refuse to be fearful.
Instead you keep chasing your dreams, no matter what. You have no option other than to keep advancing. To a die-hard entrepreneur, boundaries exist only so that they can be crossed; the only reason that limits exist are so that they can be broken. After all, when you come from nothing everything is limitless.
You measure success not by numbers, or anything superficial. You measure success by the courage you display, by staying the course, by going the distance. You measure success by not being a quitter. You measure success by proving your ability to an even greater extent than ever before.
You enjoy the presence of your success but you should never get too comfortable. The "inner me" knows no way to exist other than to continue the pursuit; to continue to raise the bar; to never stop running. It's always just the beginning. And it's always right to be fearless.
Just like gravity your energy attracts everything. Your energy is the cosmic force that generates powerful events and happenings; that provides new opportunities and makes a meaningful contribution to the world.
Gravity4 is going to be a force to be reckoned with.
