How DJ Khaled overcame his fear of flying and earned $67 million in 2 years:
J Khaled is having a typical Los Angeles morning: After waking up in his home atop Beverly Hills, his personal chef delivers breakfast and a pumpkin latte with almond milk, and Khaled ambles out behind his house to take phone calls poolside. “My backyard is my office,” he says. “I just get a lot done outside.”

And when I tell you the offers, you won’t believe it. I’ve been refusing them for so many years, but we’re about to go get it all ... millions.”
