Telegram CEO’s Dad Drops Ancient Wisdom, Not Ancient Scandals

Pavel Durov, Telegram’s CEO who moonlights as a billion-user app kingpin and part-time French detainee, shared dad-life hacks straight from Ancient Rome. His 80-year-old dad told him to 'lead by example,' because apparently even tech billionaires need reminders not to ghost leadership. Next, focus on the positive, which is easier said than done when your app’s officially a 'gateway for criminals'—ouch. Lastly, keep your 'moral compass' sharper than Julius Caesar's daggers, because Durov claims it’s 'the ultimate human quality' that won’t age out even in the AI apocalypse. Talk about keeping it classical!
