My Take
Vivek Ramaswamy is one of those guys who makes you feel exhausted just reading his Wikipedia page — in the best possible way. A child of Indian immigrants who grew up in Cincinnati, won the Bowdoin Prize at Harvard, and then had the audacity to found a biotech company at 29 and turn it into a multi-billion-dollar enterprise before most of us had figured out our careers. And then, just when you thought he'd stay in his lane, he launched a 2024 presidential primary run as the youngest major Republican candidate in the field, spending months on debate stages absolutely refusing to be ignored. Whether you agree with his politics or not, the sheer range — biologist, entrepreneur, podcaster, presidential contender — is genuinely staggering. He has a Leo's instinct for the spotlight and he uses every inch of it.
