Gumroad had a very inspiring post also about the founder losing it all, having the company donated back to them by their VC partners, then growing it to where it is now. I don't often get to say this with a straight face on HN, but it was a truly inspiring and riveting story that had me covering my mouth with one hand and scrolling with the arrow keys on the other hand.

Ill see if I can find it.
