Started With $3K, Made Millions, Then Lost It All — The Story of John Devaney​

Jul 21, 2025 Hard Knocks Podcast
John Devaney is the definition of resilience. Expelled from private schools, broke in college after his parents’ divorce, and obsessed with making money since day one. His first pitch made him $90,000. By 28, he bought a brokerage firm for $150K and launched United Capital Markets. In year one, he made $5 million. Year two, $25 million. Year three, $45 million.
At his peak, his firm was generating $130 million in revenue and $110 million in profit. Then the 2008 crash hit. He lost over $200 million, but didn’t fold. He rebuilt, launching a $200M fund with $20M of his own money, and delivered over 100% returns in complex bond markets.
Today, he’s not just a power player in finance. He’s also a film producer using his wealth to fund socially driven movies. This episode is a masterclass on taking massive risks, surviving total collapse, and coming back stronger.

Meet a 23-year-old electrician who was a ‘good student’ but skipped college to join Gen Z’s blue-collar revolution. He makes 6 figures​


Growing up in Concord, North Carolina, just outside Charlotte, Jacob Palmer was a classic academic achiever. “I was a good student,” he says in an interview with Fortune. “In high school, I participated in all types of extracurriculars, student leadership, I did a lot of public speaking. I had all sorts of friends.” But he said something changed during the pandemic. “School looked drastically different doing online classes and Zoom calls. It felt very intangible.” He says he figured out pretty quickly that online college “didn’t work for me. I hated it.”

Palmer said that instead of sticking with college, he tried things out, including a stint at a FedEx warehouse for several months, and a change of scenery at his grandparents in rural Virginia, where he worked at a factory for a few months.

When he returned home, in need of a job, his mom was putting in a hot tub and she mentioned the electrician working on it was “super passionate and loved his job.” Palmer said he sounded him out, estimating that he was about 29 at the time, and liked that he worked for himself. “I had a general interest in working with my hands, fixing and making things, as well as a basic understanding of electrical theory from my time in AP Physics class.” Soon afterward, he started as a full-time apprentice at a small, Charlotte-based contracting firm, earning $15 an hour at first and working his way up the ladder.
